The kickoff leg marks the US territory’s fourth straight year in hosting a round of the premiere motocross series, which brings together the top riders from over 12 nations in the region.
Reigning national champion Glenn Aguilar will spearhead RP’s campaign anew as he tries to reclaim the prestigious Asia Pacific Supercross crown he won in 2003.
Though reeling from heartbreaking runner-up finishes in the past two racing seasons, Aguilar remains undaunted and in high spirits up against the region’s bests led by defending champion James "Robo" Robinson of New Zealand, top Australian rider Jye Harvey, Tiger Sugiyama of TOF Kuji Racing Team Japan and Thailand’s national champion Turbo Theplib.
Joining Aguilar in Guam are Kenneth San Andres, the fast-rising motocross star from Valenzuela City, in the 125 cc division and Rafael Enriquez, a nine-year-old sensation who has been making waves in the Peewee and Junior 65 races in recent years.
