In MX65, Kenya will peg their hopes on the likes of Kigen Mutuma, Mathenge Kamundia, and  Dylan Hatanga. Lewis Ogonyi, Wahome Mutahi, and Atete Benzinge are the notable names for Kenya in the MX Lites class.

MX 125 has the usual suspects in Neo Wahome and Tanav Choda while in MX 1 seasoned riders Apollo Mbuki, Walter Kuria and Alex Kandie should be the toast of the Kenyan outfit.

On the Ugandan side, spectators should keep an eye on Jude Musede, Jamairah Makumbi, Faith Deedan (MX50); Jonathan Katende, Isaac Mitima and Ramadhan Mubiru (MX65).

Uganda’s MX Lites team comprises Tabula Malcom Gig, Jerome Mubiru and Ron Young. In MX 125, Uganda have Apollo Milton Obote, Waleed Ali Omar and Jeremiah Mawanda.

Uganda’s MX 2 outfit has Jordan Mukiibi and  Sharifah Kateete while in MX 1, they’ll field Isima Mukiibi, Fatuh Kiggundu and Fortune
