SOIL SAMPLE FROM OUR DRIFTERS

OUR WRAP OF WHAT’S GOING ON

AROUND AUSTRALIA

Dualsport riders, take

note. Lane filtering is now

legal in South Australia.

Riders can filter between

traffic that does not exceed

30km/h. They must also

ensure it is safe to do so.

School zones, pedestrian

crossings, bicycle, bus and

trams lanes are still off

limits. And don’t bother

even trying it on singletrack.

Taupo’s Brad Groombridge is dominating

the New Zealand Cross-Country

Championship after winning the second

round at Mosgiel. The reigning champ has

Auckland’s Sam Greenslade nipping at his

heels but, with two rounds left at

Marlborough and Cambridge, Suzuki’s

row, winning the New Zealand MX

Mount Maunganui completed a successful
series at Taupo beating Dean Ferris and
Rhys Carter in the championship. Takaka’s
Hamish Harwood successfully defended
his MX2 title.
