Arthur Blick said from his Kampala based that Ugandans are catching up effectively well and will soon make upsets if the current form is anything to goby. “Kenyans started well in advance and for us it’s been a steep learning curve,” said Blick whose two sons Alastair and Paddy are entering KTM 50s at MX50.

The race is sure to give Kenyans a rare bonus as they bear witness to some volatile sibling rivalry.

In the Uganda 50cc line-up, the Blicks Alastair (KTM 50) and Paddy (KTM50) will face off with the Omar’s Ali (KTM50) and Wazir (KTM50).

The Van Pees will also not be left behind in the Uganda assault for the MX2. Maxime Van Pee goes head to head in a Kawasaki 250 against his sibling Olivier VP riding a Honda 250.
