Monkey magic for GP stars in South Africa

The day before the proceedings of the Leatt Brace South African GP started, Motocross World Championship stars Steve Ramon, Antonio Cairoli and Tyla Rattray went on a field trip to the Jane Goodall Institute.

The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) Chimpanzee Eden is the first and only chimpanzee sanctuary in South Africa; it is set on an area of 1000 hectare game reserve which is a 40 minute drive away from the Alkmaar Raceway and 15 kilometres out of Nelspruit. The mission of the JGI is to rescue and care take of chimpanzees in need of refuge, therefore the Institute provides the chimpanzee with a home to live out their lives and also with the necessary attention to recover from the trauma that they have experienced.

Defending MX1 and MX2 World Champions Steve Ramon and Antonio Cairoli together with current MX2 series leader and home rider Tyla Rattray had the chance to see the chimpanzees in semi-wild surroundings with normal social interaction and behavioural patterns under group members.
