The Husqvarna Racing team had an unforgettable final round of the National Cross Country Championship this past weekend in Bloemfontein. The team's star riders, Davin Cocker and Luke Walker, soared to new heights by clinching championship titles in their respective classes.

Davin Cocker stormed to victory after a fiercely competitive season in the Open class, not only winning his class but also claiming the overall championship title for 2024. Determined to prove himself and redeem last year's narrow miss for the red plate, Cocker's drive and persistence paid off as he achieved his dream of becoming the overall champion.

"I've worked so hard for this moment, and to finally hold the red plate is a dream come true. It's been a tough season, but my team and I never gave up. This one is for them," said an elated Cocker

Luke Walker, entering the OR3 class after his high school racing career, was equally on a mission. In his debut season in the OR3 class and the team, Walker fought hard to secure the red plate, delivering stellar performances throughout the season. His efforts earned him thirdplace in the overall standings as well, a remarkable achievement in his first year in the class.

"Making the jump from high school racing to OR3 was a big step, but I knew I had what it took. Winning the championship is the best way to say thank you to my team and everyone who's supported me," said Walker.

Team manager Kerim Fitz-Gerald expressed his pride in both riders and the entire Husqvarna Racing team: "This season has been nothing short of incredible. Davin and Luke have shown their true potential, and their hard work has really paid off. As a team, we couldn't be prouder. The team has put in countless hours of preparation, and it's fantastic to see it all come together. These championships are well-deserved, and I'm excited for what the future holds."

The Brother Leader Tread KTM team showed incredible tenacity and drive at the final round of the National Cross Country Series Championship in Bloemfontein this past weekend. Each rider left everything on the track, displaying exceptional skill and heart, making for an action-packed and memorable race weekend.

Scott Heygate had an impressive season in the Open Class, narrowly missing out on the Open Class championship title but still securing second place for the season. Heygate's year was marked by standout achievements, including his first race win and first overall victory earlier in the season, as well as a second overall.

Overcoming a knee injury that nearly ended his season prematurely, he powered through and fought for his accumulated points.

"Overall, it was a really good day for me. P2 in class and overall is great! Considering that I almost threw in the towel, putting up a good fight in the end and finishing second overall-plus staying healthy for the season makes me super happy. My main focus now is my knee surgery on Thursday, and from there, recovery. I'll get back on the program for 2025. I can't thank the Brother Leader Tread KTM team enough, and I'm grateful to everyone for a successful racing season," said Heygate.

Matthew Wilson also had a strong season in the OR3 class. Despite the tough conditions, including a dusty and competitive race, Wilson managed to finish second in his class and secure fifth overall for the round.

"It was a tough race, especially with all the dust, but I'm proud of the way I pushed through. Coming second in OR3 and fifth overall is something l'm really happy about. The team has been amazing, and I'm already thinking about how to come back stronger next season," commented Wilson.

Kerim Fitz-Gerald, racing in the Seniors class, ended the season on a high note, taking victory in the final round. After a challenging start to the season due to injury, Fitz-Gerald’s dedication saw him claim the top step in the finale.

"It was a great finale, and I had fun. It was a tough 2024, but I'm thankful I get to race a bike and do what I love. Congrats to all the 2024 champions and every rider who lined up and gave it their best," said Fitz-Gerald.

Bradley Cox, competing in the Open Class alongside Heygate, had a challenging day on the track due to the dusty conditions but still managed to score valuable points for the team. Cox's year has been a rollercoaster, yet his perseverance was unwavering. Despite missing the podium for the day, he finished fourth overall.

"It was definitely one of the tougher races, with all the dust making things really tricky, but I gave it my all. I was hoping for a podium, but sometimes it just doesn't go your way. I'm proud of how I fought throughout the year, and excited for what lies ahead,” said Cox.

 Team manager Kerim Fitz-Gerald was full of praise for the entire team: "' I am incredibly proud of how every rider gave their best, no matter the challenges. Scott, Matthew, Bradley, and the whole team showed their fighting spirit all season. It's never easy, but we walk away with our heads high, knowing we gave it everything. We're looking forward to coming back even stronger in 2025."
