Round two of the Supercross Masters held in Perth last weekend was spectacular for more than one reason for the No Fear Honda Team.

Lead rider Craig Anderson was on fire for the majority of the proceedings, dominating every moto and heading for a clean points sweep until a final race crash took him out of contention.

The multiple champ was clearly in top physical form, winning moto one from Honda supported Danny Ham and American import Timmy Weigand by nearly three seconds.

His repeat effort in moto two put Ando in a comfortable position for the final in front of a packed out crowd, and when the gates dropped, the 28 year old took the lead once again only to be faltered by a breathtaking fall on the downside of a triple jump.

“I came up short and went straight over the handlebars,” the frustrated Ando commented.

“I’ve damaged my shoulder and will get it checked out properly in Perth this week, but otherwise I’m okay, just very sore and more annoyed than anything else.”

With an otherwise perfect score for the night, Ando now sits on equal fifth in the Championship alongside Daryl Hurley.

Honda were still able to celebrate in the Open challenge, however, with Ham finishing on the podium in third for the night, an excellent result for the young satellite rider.

Whilst Ando had to come to terms with his misfortune, team mate Cody Cooper – generally known for his lightening quick speeds regardless of the terrain – also had to deal with disappointment after never really coming to grips with the Claremont Showgrounds circuit.

With a top ten finish, Cooper now sits in eight position overall. “I don’t know exactly what the problem was but things didn’t come together for me until the final race when I started to get a better pace,” he said.

“There is a big break between now and the next round of supercross, so for now, I’ll start concentrating on motocross for next weekend. I’m looking forward to racing in the big class this year.”

The Team’s two Pro Lite riders, Troy Dorron and Danny Anderson, also flew the flag for the red marque with the former finishing third overall after three consistent rides.

“Tonight was okay but not exactly a walk in the park,” Doz said. “I got caught on the gates in race two and my other race starts weren’t great which put me behind the eight ball.”

“I had to play catch up every time, but at I did have a decent final race with a second behind Mitch (Hoad), and overall I’m one more rung up the series ladder now.”

After a strong second place finish in race one, the younger Anderson also had his share of trying to catch the leaders but continued to show that his pace is increasing with each factory team outing.

In fact, the competition proved enough for Digsy to push a little too hard in race two, ultimately crashing and damaging his bike in a serious way.

“I was trying to make up time and managed to bend up my bike to the point where I couldn’t finish the race.”

“Its pretty fierce on these small circuits and you just have to do whatever you can to stay in the game.”

Yet where there were frustrations, there were also further celebrations in the Honda camp.

The night will certainly go down as one to remember for young satellite rider Kade Mosig (Full Throttle Sports CRF250R), who declared his first professional race win from such esteemed riders as Cody Mackie, Bronte Holland and Ryan Marmont.

After winning the dual national junior championships last year, Kade is clearly showing that he has what it takes to run with the best in the country.

In addition to the world class racing, the event entertainment thrilled the WA audience who were able to witness a national SX Championship for the first time ever in their home town.

The show stopping Dude – Honda’s Red Rider mascot – kept both kids and parents alike ramped up with his crazy antics whilst Honda’s Mini SX Masters also proved to be a big hit once again with ten local kids getting the chance to show their prowess on No Fear Honda replica CRF50’s.
