Daniel Reardon
(KX450F) secured his first Pro Open victory at the second round
of the Nokia MX Nationals at Gillman today, with defending
champion, Cameron Taylor (YZF 250) bouncing back from a
disastrous start to the series by winning the Pro Lites. “I’ve done a lot of testing in the off season and the bike is strong, it is just up to me to get that little bit stronger. “I’ve employed a practice mechanic who does all the tinkering on the bike through the week which leaves me to do more riding and training, which I think made the difference today. I’m still learning and it’s been a tough start, but now all the hard work is paying off.” Daryl Hurley - Nokia MX Nationals Pro Open Round Two Runner Up - “I struggled a bit with the hard pack today as we have done a lot of sand testing in the last few weeks. However, it was the same for everybody out there and this circuit [Gillman] tends to get harder and harder each year. “It’s not going to be easy next round of the series at Wonthaggi as Craig [Anderson] beat me there last year, but I am aiming for consistent results throughout the year and if we can achieve another podium it will be fantastic. We’re all here for the number one plate and hopefully I can hang onto it for the rest of the year through maintaining my focus.” Craig Anderson - Nokia MX Nations Round Two Third Position - “My shoulder is definitely getting better after the big accident at the Supercross three weeks ago when I nearly killed myself. It’s now just up to me to get better and stronger. “I like all the tracks in the series and Wonthaggi is definitely one of the toughest. Everybody in the team is working hard and hopefully we can put it all together on the day.” Cameron Taylor – Maxxis Tyres Pro Lites Round Two Winner - “I got a great start to the first race and an average start in the second, however I still managed to come through and do what I had to do which ensured I won the round. “I’m feeling really confident for next round. Wonthaggi was the first track I rode on twenty years ago and I managed to cut the points deficient from last round in half today, which sets me up in a good position for round four.” Cody Mackie - Maxxis Tyres Pro Lites Round Two Runner Up - “It feels good to be on the podium. I always thought that I could do it and now I feel as though I’ve created a pattern and I’ve got the bike working as I want it. Today’s result is pay back for the team who have worked so hard to get me here. “They say once you’ve been up here [podium] it gets easier every other time and you carry a bit more confidence with you and I know I’ll be doing that next round.” Troy Dorron - Maxxis Pro Lites Round Two Third Position - “Today was an up-and-down day and I didn’t get the start I wanted in the first moto however it has all finished off good at the end of the event. “I won’t be doing too much different in the preparation for next round. I will be trying to ride a few similar tracks to Wonthaggi and put in the ground work which will hopefully see us on the podium again in a few weeks time.” Ryan Marmont – Red Plate Holder – Following Two Rounds - “It feels pretty good to take the championship lead after two rounds and now I will be trying my best to stay at the top of the point score for the rest of the year. “The team and I
have put in the biggest effort in the lead up to the first two
rounds of the series and we will be continuing the hard work for
the next round of the championship at Wonthaggi.” 2006 Maxxis Tyres
