On the Sunday 2 December 2018 Assocjazzjoni Sport Muturi u Karozzi will continue the Honda Motocross National Championship 2018/2019. This will be the second competition of this season. The program on Sunday morning starts at 10.00am with the Warm-Up laps followed by the Qualifying and Two Official races counting for the day's result. The activity will be held at the ASMK Sports Complex at Ta' Qali. 

Meanwhile on Sunday 25th December 2018 ASMK opened the Motocross Championship where we had four classes of drivers on the track. In Class A we saw Kyle Camilleri on a KTM motorcycle dominates the day, first by winning the qualification. During the first race of the two Heats Camilleri on his KTM took the lead ahead of Muscat Paul on a Yamaha and continued to defend his place until the end of the race. But in the second race Muscat took the lead ahead of Camilleri who was making so much pressure on Muscat that on the sixth Lap Camilleri took the lead and held this placing to the finish in front of Muscat. Thus the final result shows Camilleri Kyle winning the two Heats of the day followed by Paul Muscat. Third place was won by Trevor Muscat on a Honda motorcycle.

In Class B Debono Garry on his KTM motorcycle dominated the Qualifying Heats followed by Daniel Caruana on a Honda motorcycle and Krist Falzon on a Husqvarna motorcycle. But during the two official heats the situation changed as we saw Caruana dominating the two Heat Races though he was followed by Debono. Yet the Final Result shows Caruana to win Class B followed by Debono. Third place winner was Krist Falzon on a Husqvarna motorcycle while in fourth place is Michael Sant on his Husqvarna motorcycle.

In the Veterans Class for riders of 'Over 40' we had this result. First place is awarded to Carmelo Borg on his Honda motorcycle followed by Paul Deguara on a KTM motorcycle. Third and fourth places were won by Sant brothers where Jethro on a Yamaha motorcycle won third place and his brother William on Honda motorcycle placed fourth.

The Motocross for the first time held a race Fun Race for Juniors in this class and we had this result. First place is won by Jose Azzopardi on a KTM followed by Nicole Cutajar while third place was won by Jack Azzopardi also on a KTM motorcycle and fourth place winner is Julian Scicluna on Osnef.
