Pirelli Mx2

Round two of the Pirelli MX2 championship was all about KTM Racing Team’s Nathan Crawford, who after qualifying in third position early this morning, effectively dominated the pair of 250 class motos for the overall victory. His result elevated him to third in the standings two rounds into the new season.

While Crawford marched to a pair of convincing wins, it was a case of damage control for reigning champion and current red plate-holder Wilson Todd (Terrafirma Honda Racing) in battling to 2-2 results. That runner-up overall means he is leading the standings by 17 points. Finishing P3 was Kiwi Brodie Connolly (Polyflor Honda Racing), followed by Rhys Budd (Serco Yamaha) and Kaleb Barham (Husqvarna), in a standout effort for the privateer.

Last year’s MX3 champion Kayden Minear (KTM Racing Team) took sixth place this weekend, with Jesse Dobson (Serco Yamaha) and Jayce Cosford (Yamalube Yamaha Racing) seventh and eighth, respectively, as Liam Andrews (Honda) and Ryan Alexanderson (KTM) completed the top 10. After being unable to score points in moto one, Alex Larwood (Yamalube Yamaha Racing) bounced back for fourth in moto two for 11th overall.

Maxxis Mx3

There was no denying GASGAS-backed Ky Woods the victory in MAXXIS MX3 at Appin today, qualifying on top of the timesheets and then going on to record 1-3 finishes. Woods was joined on the podium by Liam Owens (Husqvarna) and Byron Dennis (GASGAS), each tied on 38 points following the two motos.

Finishing fourth overall was Jack Mather (Husqvarna), while second moto winner Connor Towill (KTM) was fifth overall after finishing 13th
