2023 ROUND 6 RECAP

FERRIS PEERLESS IN MX1, CRAWFORD AND DENNIS TOP MX2 AND MX3

The picturesque hills of Toowoomba’s Echo Valley played host to round six of the 2023 Penrite ProMX Championship, presented by AMX Superstores, with a host of unique kits present as teams embraced ‘retro’ round, paying homage to some of the sport’s most iconic looks throughout the years.

In the Thor MX1 Class, it was Brisbane Motorcycles

Yamaha rider Dean Ferris who stamped his authority on the field with a dominant 1-1 performance; KTM Racing Team’s Nathan Crawford clawed back valuable points with the Pirelli MX2 overall win over class leader Wilson Todd (Terrafirma Honda Racing); and in Maxxis MX3 GasGas-mounted Byron Dennis’ two second places saw him extend his championship lead.

THOR MX1

Qualifying for the Thor MX1 class was topped by Ferris, who produced a blazing 1m48:548s lap to secure the AMX Top 10 Pole Shootout honours. Second place belonged to KTM Racing Team’s Kirk Gibbs, who was 0.5sec off Ferris’ time, with Aaron Tanti (CDR Yamaha Monster Energy) and Boost Mobile Honda Racing duo Jed Beaton and Kyle Webster rounding out the top five.

The multiple Aussie champion crossed the finish line with a 14-second margin over Beaton, who clawed his way back through the field after a poor start. Third was Raceline Berry Sweet Husqvarna Racing’s Todd Waters in a stirring return to championship form, with Gibbs and Tanti rounding out the top five.

Moto one saw Ferris come out swinging: he claimed the holeshot and that’s the last the competition would see of the #111 machine as he delivered a masterclass in rut technique and line selection.

Moto two began in a similar fashion, as Ferris launched out of the gates – but this time defending champion Tanti, galvanised after a late crash in race one cost him valuable points, latched onto the back of the leader. But Tanti couldn’t sustain the pressure, and Ferris cruised to a 15-second victory to bring up his third maximum-point outing in six rounds.

Tanti was followed home by Beaton, Gibbs and Webster.

2023 ROUND 6 RECAP

Ferris’ peerless performance in Toowoomba was ominous: he’d “changed his whole program” after a trying previous outing at Gillman, and it obviously hit the mark as he moved back into the championship lead over Beaton (221pts to 214), with Tanti (201pts) remaining in third.

PIRELLI MX2

Qualifying for the Pirelli MX2 class belonged to the in-form Crawford, who posted a time just 0.101sec faster than arch-rival, Todd. In third was GasGas Racing’s Noah Fergusson, followed by Rhys Budd (Serco Yamaha) and Kaleb Barham (Yamalube Yamaha Racing).

brawl ensued between Connolly and Fergusson at the head of the field, while Crawford charged from the back of the pack to wind up on the rear end of the duo by the midpoint.

This season’s racing has been nothing short of explosive and, with Polyflor Honda Racing’s Brodie Connolly storming to the moto one holeshot, it was apparent this trend was set to continue. An all-out

Crawford then made light work of the leaders, and he stormed to victor over Fergusson, Todd, Budd and Victorian privateer Liam Andrews (Honda).

Moto two featured another Todd versus Crawford epic, as the duo would battle for the entire 25-minute affair. However, it was Todd who eventually got the upperhand to win by five seconds, while Fergusson put in a strong ride for third. Connolly and Budd added to their consistent outings with fourth and fifth place respectively.

Crawford made points on Todd in Toowoomba, though probably not as many as he’d have liked, as the defending champion remained atop the

2023 ROUND 6 RECAP

leaderboard with a comfortable 35pts in hand. Crawford remained in second on 207pts, while New Zealand sensation Connolly continued to stand strong in third with 18

MAXXIS MX3

Entering the Echo Valley round with the championship leader’s red plate, Dennis showed poise on the technical red clay circuit, posting consistent 2-2 results which landed him the top step of the podium. However, chaos would ensue around him throughout the day as his championship contenders showed immense speed but also fell victim to the rutted surface at various stages.

Yamaha’s Jake Cannon took victory in the final moto, though an 11th to start the day meant that he only notched fourth place, while Empire Kawasaki’s Cambell Williams finished fifth after 4-8 results.

Husqvarna rider and championship hopeful Jack Mather finished second overall despite a fall while leading in moto two – he finished fifth after a win in the opener.

Dennis extended his points lead to 25 (230 to 205) over Mather in second, while Cannon is in third on 176.

Mather’s fellow Husqvarna rider Liam Owens posted a 3-4 scorecard for third overall.
