E ager anticipation for the 60th edition of the famous Honda New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville is starting to build , with the iconic annual two-day event set for the weekend of January 30-31 , 2021 , and this time around it will have double significance , day two also being recognised as the opening round of the 2021 New Zealand Motocross Championships . It ’ s the first time that the Honda-sponsored Woodville event , the largest stand-alone event on the New Zealand race calendar , and this year celebrating its 60th anniversary , has been afforded this honour and certainly appropriate when considering that this event already enjoys the status as the premier motocross event in this part of the world . The host Manawatu Orion Motorcycle Club president Brad Ritchie said he was thrilled the club had been granted hosting rights to the nationals . “ We are excited to be running round one of the senior motocross championships at Woodville in January , an event that also incorporates the Women ’ s Cup ,” he said . “ The club is looking forward to hosting a truly world class motorcycle event and I am sure motorcycle fans will be hungry for Woodville , especially considering the year we have had with the COVID-19 pandemic . “ The event will be touching on the rich history of the event over the weekend , with memorabilia on display and an historical flair woven into the event . “ The Honda New Zealand Motocross GP at Woodville could not happen without the amazing support from volunteers who put hours of their time into transforming a block of farmland into a world class motocross venue . “ We also like to thank our principle sponsor Honda and all our other sponsors too .” He said the 2021 Honda New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville will be live-streamed on the Sky Sport Next programme , which will also be a first for the event , allowing bike fans from across the country and around the world to watch the event live . The race programme will be bulging with the names of top-grade entrants from as young as four years old , to senior men and women in their 40s and 50s .
