MANILA, Philippines - Kawasaki Motocross team’s Kenneth San Andres dominated the field again, sweeping both the Pro Open and Pro 125 events to rule the fourth leg of the NAMSSA National Motocross Development Program at the Speedworld MX Circuit, SM Bicutan yesterday.

After three legs of the series held under the auspices of the National Motorcycle Sports and Safety Association (NAMSSA), San Andres totes a perfect 150 points in leading the premier Pro Open category. Each stage win is worth 50 points, built around two moto races of 25 points each.

Using a Kawasaki KXF 2014 model, San Andres quashed the challenge of Bebet dela Cruz and Ralf Ramento in the Pro Open (MX1), before repeating over the same foes in the Pro 125 (MX2).

“It was imperative on me to go all out in the two motos in preparation for the Asian meet this September,” said San Andres, referring to the FIM Asian Supercross Championship next month. “Against these veteran riders, I can’t be complacent as one wrong move on my part will allow them to strike and overtake me.”
