Motocross park ready for continental showdown

The FIM Africa Motocross of African Nations takes place on 29 and 30 August at Gallina MX Park, north of Windhoek, bringing together over 180 riders from nine African countries on a single track.

The Gallina circuit is a fast, technical sand track designed to reward both speed and precision.

The 1 320m course features multiple jumps, table tops, step-ups, rhythm sections, and a ‘whoop’ section – a series of evenly spaced dirt bumps testing riders’ timing, balance, and physical strength.

Around 80% of the circuit consists of sand, with only minimal hard-pack sections. In preparation for the international event, Gallina has undergone extensive upgrades, from the main entrance to the pit areas and wash bays.

Environmental controls, including proper machine servicing and cleaning protocols, have also been addressed.
