Round 2 of the Michelin MX Nationals has been re-scheduled and re-located after Landrake was cancelled due to the weather conditions. The second round will now take place at Pontrilas, HR2 0BG, on the 7th and 8th May. Riders who were entered into Landrake will automatically be transferred to Pontrilas.The first round at Preston Docks seems like a distant memory now but it was action packed throughout the weekend. They had a full entry of riders and had an extremely successful weekend and they hope round two will be just as busy.
