The 2010 Honda International New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix is heading this way from the 29-31 January 2010. Manawatu-Orion Motorcycle Club President, Bryan Davidson, has announced the longstanding partnership between Blue Wing Honda and the Club is to continue for 2010 with Honda once again as principal Sponsor. The NZ Motocross Grand Prix, widely known as “Woodville” attracts NZ’s top MXers from Minis through to Seniors. A Grand Prix class win carries with it a NZ title. This is the only event in NZ Motocross that holds the Grand Prix title.

International riding sensation Kiwi Ben Townley makes his first appearance at Woodville for some years, Australians Jay Wilson, currently FIM World 85cc #1 & Tye Simmonds,currently FIM World 125cc #2,  Honda Racing riders Michael Phillips, Justin McDonald, Peter Broxholme and Cameron Dillon, Suzuki’s Cody Cooper and Scott Columb, plus the Subway Yamaha , Kawasaki, & KTM teams will all provide the heat on the track.

The Tararua township of Woodville has become synonymous with this event, and the January 2010 event will be the 49^th Annual MX event, all shaping into an exciting 2011 when not only will the 50^th Woodville be run but also the Manawatu-Orion Motorcycle Club will celebrate its Centenary.

For South Islanders it appears that Ferry bookings are exceptionally heavy in the days prior to Woodville, and the Club is looking into alternative arrangements if possible for the mainlanders. Any progress will be posted on the Club’s website www.momcc.co.nz

As the entries begin to roll in the Club is working hard on the preparations for the January 2010 event. Anticipating rider entries in excess of 600, and crowd estimated over the duration of the event in the region of 6500, the future shines brightly for Woodville 2010 - January 29^th -31^st.
