The IV stage of the championship and the Belarusian Republic's motocross competition took place in Orsha, dedicated to the memory of Hero of the Soviet Union K. S. Zaslonov.
More than 80 athletes from Belarus and Russia participated in the tournament.
On the first day, the competitive program was opened by the youngest athletes on motorcycles with engine capacities of 50 cm3, followed by participants in the classes of 65 cm3, EMX250, "Veteran" and "Beginner". On the second day of the competition, spectators were treated to performances by motocross riders in the classes of 85 cm3, EMX125. The roar of engines and flying sand, bright emotions and excitement from both the racers and the spectators, rivalry and mutual assistance, "flights" on the ramps – all this was witnessed by Orsha over the course of two days. And despite the unpredictable weather over the weekend, with bright sunshine giving way to rain, and Sunday turning out to be rainy, nothing could stop the fans of this spectacular sport. Hundreds of residents of Orsha and guests of the city settled on the slopes of the sports park in the Kuteinki area.
Based on the results of the races, the organizers awarded the top three winners in each class with trophies, diplomas, and cash prizes.
