Races were held in Gauteng, Polokwane and Harrismith at some of the country’s best motocross tracks.

On his KTM 65sx powered by Liquimoly lubricants and additives, Lleyton brought home three first places, two second places and two third places.

Lleyton said his Mitas fatty tyres proved invaluable in the dirt and sand, as well as the Tentcos’ super comfortable chairs that helped him relax between each moto.

“I am looking forward to the 2022 season where the battles will play themselves out once again amid epic starts, wicked whips, sun, mud, dust and rain.

“Thanks to all who supported me over the 2021 season.”said young Lleyton.
