NOVEMBER 16, 2009: Watch this space.

A protest appeal result is still pending with the MX2 class and the 125cc class results are also not confirmed, but we can tell you that Christchurch's Justin McDonald (Honda) (pictured above) is the new MX1 champion after the fourth and final round of the Demon Energy New Zealand Motocross Championships at the weekend.

There is no doubt that Rotorua's Michael Phillips (Honda) has won the MX2 class, Cambridge's Damien King (Yamaha) has won the 125cc class and Waitakere's Ethan Martens (KTM) won the under-21 division.

The full story and confirmed results will be posted shortly.
