Watch out Australia, Kiwi champion Wyatt Chase is on his way across the Tasman and he's going to make life difficult indeed for his motocross rivals.
The 15-year-old Taupo star raced at the first of two rounds in the North Island Motocross Championships series at the sand-based Flipp's Motorcycle Park
circuit at Himatangi at the weekend and was in spectacular form, winning the junior 15-16 years' 125cc class.
Chase (Total BikesportNZ.com Yamaha YZ125) finished 3-1-1 in his three races to win the day ahead of local favourite Tony Cvitanovich, who had 1-3-2 results.
Third overall was national junior 250cc champion Ben Broad, of Ngatea, who posted a 2-2-5 scoreline.
Chase scored five wins from five starts to win the New Zealand junior 15-16 years' 125cc motocross title near Te Kuiti in April and then won the 15-18 years' 125cc class at the inaugural Trent Haywood Memorial Motocross near Te Puke in July.
