But who is lining up to represent Team SACU Scotland in the International VMXdN Team race?
Billy MacKenzie will be lining up for Team Scotland. The Scotsman is a two-time British motocross national champion. No stranger to lining up against motocross greats worldwide, the former factory rider rode for Factory Kawasaki, C.A.S. Honda, and Dixon Yamaha and competed in the FIM GP World Championship, where he took both MX2 and MX1 wins in Japan. He has also represented the United Kingdom in the Motocross des Nations.
Joining Billy on the team will be his cousin, Bryan MacKenzie or Bry Mac, as many of us know him. Having started racing at age six, he cut his teeth at schoolboy level, securing multiple schoolboy titles before continuing to the adult ranks of British Motocross at 16. In 2009 he stepped in to cover for Billy at C.A.S. Honda, taking a top-10 race finish in Sweden and in 2013, he secured the overall win at Desert Martin. Bryan achieved 15 years at a competitive level before retiring at the end of the 2016 season.
Gavin Robertson returns to represent Team SACU Scotland for a second year running after competing in the inaugural race in 2022. He takes the final spot on the team. Robertson’s passion for motocross began at age 5, leading to a motocross career that spanned three decades and led to multiple on-track successes at regional and national levels – claiming various youth Scottish titles, a Scottish adult 125 title, several top 3 adult Scottish open championship finishes, a Scottish evolution title, and a recent British evolution title. He is back on the circuit after a brief retirement from motocross and a switch to MTB racing for a few years. This spell refuelled his passion for the sport. Robertson is a two-stroke fan and can’t wait to get back on the line at VMXdN Foxhill 2023 alongside unbelievable legends of the sport.
The SACU Scottish VMXdN team will be travelling down to compete at the vet’s motocross event on the August bank holiday weekend with thanks to their sponsors Anderson and Wilson, SD22, Mad Max Media, M.X.A., Tom Grant Plant, HSR TV & Film Rigging, Wossner Pistons, Dyce Carriers, MXM, Factory Fixers, Stakeford Tyre Services, and Drysdale Motorcycles.
