The 2013 Spanish Motocross Championship starts in Albaida

This weekend the first round of the Spanish Motocross Championship will be held in the Élite MX1, MX2 and MX65 categories, so expect plenty of action at the Complex del Motor in Albaida, where all fans can enjoy the first race of the 2013 season.

For this new edition of the national MX championship we have several changes, as we already mentioned a few days ago: in 2013 there are new developments for the Spanish Motocross Championship regarding the regulations. One of them is that races will be held over two days. Saturday will feature scrutineering, the briefing, free practice and timed qualifying, and Sunday will host the motos.

But it’s not only the day that’s different: the motos also differ from past seasons, since there will now be one MX1 heat, one MX2 heat and one for those who did not qualify (positions 21 and below in the timed sessions). Afterwards the Superfinal will be held, featuring the top 20 from each of the initial MX1 and MX2 heats, plus riders (up to a maximum of three) who did not qualify in their respective heats but finished in the top 10 in the timed sessions.

All these changes aim to attract more fans to the discipline, more spectacle and competitiveness by bringing the two top categories together in the Superfinal, and also to support amateurs and younger riders with the creation of the Spanish MX1 Motocross Cup and the Spanish MX2 Motocross Cup.

The entry list has reached 94, and registration remains open until midnight tomorrow, Wednesday; we’ll see how many finally accept the challenge. Sunday’s schedule starts at 09:00 with the warm-ups, followed an hour and a half later by the first race, and the big Superfinal will be at approximately 13:50.

Don’t miss the MX Albaida.
