CEBU, Philippines – 11-time Rider of the Year Glenn Aguilar leads other riders in the first out-of-town race of the 2009 MS Motosuit Motocross Series.
Dubbed as the 2nd Hon. Mayor Erwin Agustino Motocross Cup, this morning’s race unfolds in Ayungon, Negros Oriental.
The same racetrack was adjudged as last year’s best among many other racetracks in the motocross series.
“First time nato ni karong tuiga nga gawas sa lalawigan sa Sugbo ang atong lumba,” (“This is the first this year that we had a race outside Cebu.”) said Lou Ornopia, the event organizer and owner of MS Motosuit.
Ornopia and others involved in the race are expecting nothing but exciting and thrilling motocross action.
Out to challenge Aguilar are equally determined riders in the likes of Jon-jon Adlawan, Juvenille Abellar, Irwin Uypitching, John Flores, reigning ROY awardee Siegfred Ornopia, Paolo Inoc, Winsor Pamorca, Dongkey Sanchez, Bonnie Bustillo, Weng Yapparcon and Butch Flores.
Even injured rider Pepo Rubi, host of MS Motosuit Motocross TV and the man behind Team Quickflight, signified his intention to compete. Rubi suffered an injury while racing in Mindanao.
