However, it was Gift Sebuguzi who was crowned the champion following his sublime performance scooping all the three heats to seal the title.
“The race was so good. I tried so hard not to make any mistake on the bike and thats how I managed to win all the three heats,” said Sebuguzi.
“I am happy for my title because it was not easy. I have been falling a lot in the events losing many points. But I thank my parents and my trainer,” he added.
It is Sebuguzi first title in the MX65 class which he joined this season.
