Kase Thoms overcomes fierce competition to win Junior Motocross Nationals.

The Year 10 student won the 12-14-year-old 125cc class at the 2023 MotoSouth NZ Junior Motocross Nationals, which were held in April in Oreti, Invercargill.

Racing was incredibly fierce this year, with the elite of New Zealand’s junior motocross talent, aged between eight and 16 years, all determined to make their mark. Thoms raced in a very competitive field and worked extremely hard to secure the title.

There were nearly 200 riders competing at the event, all supported by family and friends.
