In the Enduro Wotomoto National Championship 2017/2018 the championship winner is still uncertain as after five races from six held so far, two competitors are very close to each other and the winner will be decided in this last event. Currently, James Zahra on his Sherco is leading with 94 points and followed close by Bernard Sammut with 87 points on a Beta. Zahra and Sammut are followed by Joseph Scicluna on a KTM with 75 points. All will be decided in this last event.

 

Meanwhile, Saturday 16th June 2018 was the last event for Motocross championship called 'Bonus Event'. This event was held as each rider was given the chance to drop one event where he did not perform well during the championship season. So this race could have changed the overall classification.

The Motocross Class B is won by Bernard Sammut on a Beta where he continued to dominate this class ahead of the Runner-up Gary Debono on a Sherco motorcycle. Third place finisher was Joseph Scicluna on a KTM while fourth place is won by young Sant Michael riding on a Husqvarna motorcycle.
