With the two premier titles safely locked away, Karaka’s Hayden Draper became the obvious stand-out at the 2025 KTM New Zealand Junior Motocross Championships near Pukekohe at the weekend. After three intense days of racing at the Harrisville circuit, the 15-year-old had wrapped up both the 14-16 years 250cc class title and the 15-16 years 125cc title as well, something he’d threatened to do when the junior championships were staged near Foxton in April last year, but he couldn’t quite manage it.

Is there no stopping the Bay of Plenty-based Honda Team Rees juggernaut in this season’s New Zealand Superbike Championships? When the third round of four in the annual motorcycle road-racing series wrapped up at the Hampton Downs circuit, just north of Hamilton, on Sunday afternoon, it was again 32-year-old Mitch Rees unbeaten and on the top step of the podium in the premier 1000cc superbike class, with his 57-year-old father Tony Rees climbing up to join him, on the second step.
