Kane takes title as Karro ends season with win

It was a win-win situation for the MVR-D Suzuki team at the weekend, as Natalie Kane completed her unbeaten run of wins in the ACU Ladies British Motocross Championship to take the title and Mattis Karro returned to the top step of the podium in the final race of the year at the Landrake track in Cornwall.

Quick from the off, Karro qualified second quickest on his RM-Z250, but would have to wait until the second and final race of the day to taste success after a collision in race one forced him out of contention. By race two, it was a case of normal service resumed for the young Latvian, racing hard with Neville Bradshaw to eventually cross the line with a three second advantage.

Mattis Karro: "It's obviously great to end the championship with a win, although I am disappointed by the first race. WIth the pace we had, I think an overall win was very possible, but these things happen and it's just nice to end with a win after such a tough time."

In the Ladies championship, Kane continued her total domination of the class, winning the first race of the day by a massive 26 seconds, before going on to cruise to another win in the second race, taking the title with one round to go.

Natalie Kane: It's great to take the title early and nice to do it with an unbeaten run of race wins. I'd like to thank everyone for their support this year. The RM-Z250 has been the perfect tool for this and with the expert support of the MVR-D guys, it's all gone relatively smoothly."

Team manager, Mark Chamberlain: "A big, big congratulations to both riders this weekend. After the disappointment of Carl's injury last weekend, it's nice to taste success again. Nat has ridden incredibly well again this season. To say she has dominated the ladies class is frankly an understatement and she deserves this without question. For Mattis to end his turbulent year with a win is a real boost for both him and the rest of the team. A big thanks to everyone involved this season."
