MX Nationals press release:

Murray Bridge in South Australia has long been a favorite destination of Australia’s Motocross Championship the Motul MX Nationals, and in 2016, the partnership with the series and the local council is set to continue with The Rural City of Murray Bridge Council confirming their support of round four.

After a number of years visiting the iconic venue in South Australia, the council has continued to recognise the huge economic impact that the Motul MX Nationals has on the region and the local community, and will welcome back the series once again on Sunday May 22.

Mayor of the Rural City of Murray Bridge Brenton Lewis today spoke of the councils support of the MX Nationals series again this year, and is looking forward to it’s return in just two weeks’ time.

“It is fantastic to see the return of this event (the Motul MX Nationals) which has been successfully held at our magnificent site at Monarto for the past two years,” said Mayor Lewis.

“It’s events such as these that promotes our region as the Regional Events Capital in South Australia.

“I have no doubt that with the growing popularity of motocross around the country, that this event will embrace the qualities of competitiveness, sportsmanship and friendship.

“The Rural City of Murray Bridge has a proud history of hosting and producing world class sporting events and the 2016 Motul MX Nationals is no exception.”

With the continuation of council support, Motul MX Nationals Series Promoter Kevin Williams shared that he’s once again looking forward to making the trip back to Murray Bridge in South Australia.

“Murray Bridge has always been a favorite venue of the series, so to have the Rural City of Murray Bridge Council’s backing once again this year is very exciting,” he said.

“The Motul MX Nationals has grown to a point where one single visit can inject more than a quarter of a million dollars into the local economy, and we expect that Murray Bridge will be able to capitalize on our visit in just a couple of weeks’ time.

“Through our live streaming service NRGTV, and our digital magazine Inside Dirt, Murray Bridge is showcased on the world stage. Last year alone we reached more than a quarter of a million people in 135 different countries, which is a fantastic opportunity for regional areas where our events are held.

“The team and I at the Motul MX Nationals are committed to creating long standing partnerships, and are pleased that through the series, we can provide significant opportunities to increase growth in rural areas including Murray Bridge in 2016.”

The fourth round of the 2016 Motul MX Nationals is set to be held in Murray Bridge, South Australia on Sunday May 22.
