By Sharon Cox
Cody Cooper (The Honda Store Competing) claimed the MX1 round two win of NZ’s MX Championships at Backflips Dirt Farm today, taking the Overall Championship by 3 factors going into the collection’ last two rounds.
This is a special record, with all 3 courses posting similar outcomes: MX 1 Cooper going 1-1-1, Australia’s Jay Wilson going 1-1-1 in MX2 as well as NZ’s Josiah Natzke blitzing the field with 1-1-1 in the 125cc class.
Cooper took the holeshot in the initial moto and also led from beginning to end.
The Honda Shop Competing Group biker John Phillips was equally impressive over three motos, taking 2nd general for the round, with Australia’s Kirk Gibbs (KTM) completing the leading 3.
Cody: “I came right here to win all three, making a statement truly. I’m proud of myself, I got back right into it and finished the job. There is awesome dust out there, the Backflips team have done a remarkable task with the track. There is a personal line but that’s where you have to concentrate on your begins as well as make use of the one lines to your benefit.”
Australia’s Jay Wilson proceeded his exceptional form, taking a clean sweep in MX2 (1-1-1), avoiding competition from Hamish Harwood (CMR Red Bull KTM), that was the second total, and also neighborhood rider Micah McGoldrick (Honda), that ended up third.
McGoldrick was unlucky in moto two, dropping important factors, just to redeem his area at the end of the last race.
Jay: “It was good to prolong my factors lead as well as come away with 3 wins. I was a bit worried this morning with the track being so damp. I assumed the NZ children would ready. The track was gnarly– every straight had ruts. I just had to hold your horses and also on my toes during. I need to thank the JCR Group for the enormous effort they place in.”
NZ’s Josiah Natzke (CMR Red Bull KTM) beat the 125cc area revealing the skill that has actually made him a placement in Europe’s KTM post-NZ’s Nationals.
Winning three of three, Josiah’s winning margins were exceptional with a 2nd general. Cohan Chase and 3rd general South Canterbury’s Courtney Duncan tested to shut the gap.
Josiah: “It was a perfect day for me, I couldn’t request anything different. The bike excelled, the track was tough but I adjusted to it. An amazing day, I’m fed.”
