STEVEN Nobriega, one week after sticking it to the 125cc bikes, turned his attention to the dirt tracks of Linden to take top honours at the Battle of Champions Motorcross.
Held in the Lower Kara Kara region yesterday, Nobregia mopped the floor with the competition in the pro class, picking up three wins from as many races.

His high flying jumps thrilled fans, but not as much as crowd favourite, Marlon ‘Rasta Man’ Brown aboard the number 23 bike.
Brown, originally a novice rider, joined the Pro race and thrilled the fans by popping wheelies all around the track.

The instant crowd favourite did not last the day, however, as bike troubles forced him out.
In the novices class, David DeNobreiga snapped up races one and three with Orlando King picking up race two.

The final event of the day was the open class, which pitted all the riders against each other.
Nobregia delayed his start to allow the riders first jump but catching them proved difficult.
The terrain of the Kara Kara track, traversed by riders all day, threw Nobreiga off his game twice, with the rider getting back up on both occasions and finishing third.

Second belonged to DeNobregia with Ravi Singh taking the chequerd flag by some margin.
Presentation will take place on Friday at Banks DIH head office.
