PROMX2023:TANTI,CRAWFORDANDWOODSCAPTUREPENRITEPROMXVICTORIESATAPPIN
A spectacular second round of the 2023 Penrite ProMX Championship, presented by AMX Superstores, has been won by defending Thor MX1 champion Aaron Tanti, with Nathan Crawford rising to the occasion in Pirelli MX2 and Ky Woods taking home the MAXXIS MX3 class overall. With temperatures hovering towards the 40-degree Celsius mark throughout round two, the action was just as hot on track in the series’ welcome return to Appin, New South Wales.

Former three-time champion Dean Ferris (Brisbane Motorcycles Yamaha) was the class of the field through much of round two in topping qualifying and winning moto one by a significant 33.331s margin, however, a costly crash in the opening portion of moto two saw him cross the finish in P5. He rebounded to win again in part two, which on combined scores placed him in P3 for the moto and second overall – importantly tied on points with Tanti.
Third position to complete the round podium was a solid result for Jed Beaton (Boost Mobile Honda Racing), delivering a 4-2 scorecard once the results were tallied, which placed him three points clear of Kirk Gibbs (KTM Racing Team), who stood out on his way to second in the earlier encounter.
