Tabogon set to host second leg of MS Motosuit Motocross Series
CEBU, Philippines — Still enjoying the overwhelming success of their Silver anniversary race, Cebuano sportsman Lou Ornopia now girds for the second leg of their 2024 MS Motosuit Motocross Series scheduled next week.
Billed as the 2nd Mayor Francis Salimbangon Motocross Cup, the adrenaline-pumping race slated on May 18 in Barangay Pio, Tabogon north of Cebu is among the highlights of the town’s annual fiesta celebration in honor of their beloved patron San Isidro Labrador.
“Nalipay og maayo ang atoang mga riders kay nabuhi na og balik ang motocross dinhi sa Sugbo,” said Ornopia, who was once honored as “Sportsman of the Year” by the Sportswriters Association of Cebu (SAC) for his selfless dedication and invaluable contribution to the sport that he hold close to his heart.
“Gipangkamotan nato nga mabalik ang atong mga lumba dili lamang aron ma-hone ang atong local talents apan aron sab ma-competitive sila og balik kay akong nakita nga nalupig na gyud ta sa ato neighboring riders,” Ornopia continued.
Just like in the opening leg that coincided with the 25th edition of the Ornopia Cup in Calambua, San Remigio last month, Ornopia said he will pe putting up cash prizes for all the top performers from the beginners to the expert and pro open categories.
“Pasalamat ko og dako sa Tabogon LGU ubos sa pagpangu ni mayor Francis Salimbangon sa paghatag niya og suporta ning atong race series,” said Ornopia. “Hinaut nga pinaagi niining atong kalihukan madasig ang atong mga riders nga bairon og balik ang ilang abilidad.”
Working in tandem with his brother Siegfred as race director, Ornopia said they will probably stage their third leg sometime in June.
From there, they plan to hold two more legs at most before the year ends. — (FREEMAN)
