Consistency rewards Jay Wilson in Pirelli MX2

MX Nationals Rnd Gladstone mxYamalube Yamaha Racing’s former MX2 champion Jay Wilson broke through for his first round Pirelli MX2 round win since 2015 with an inspired ride around the Gladstone circuit in the Pirelli MX Nationals.

MX Nationals Rnd Gladstone mxWilson made the most of a consistent day of racing to stand atop the podium, flanked by both race winners, Hamish Harwood (Davey Motorsports KTM) and Wilson Todd (Serco Yamaha) after another round of scintillating racing.

In the opening MX2 race, championship leader Todd leapt to the front of the pack and led the field through the first handful of corners, before going down and having to muster a come-from-behind attack on his way to sixth.

MX Nationals Rnd Gladstone mxHarwood was the ultimate benefactor from Todd’s misfortune as he raced to a 2.3s lead over Aaron Tanti (Complete Parts Kawasaki Racing) while Jay Wilson claimed third.

Yamaha 125cc Juniors

An eventful day of racing in the Yamaha 125cc Juniors at Gladstone’s Pirelli MX Nationals saw Queenslander Levi Rogers (GYTR Yamaha) wrap up a perfect day for the manufacturer, while KTM Junior Motocross Racing Team’s Blake Fox claimed the title.

Rogers posted a 2-1 race result to beat Fox and Corben Weinert (Husqvarna) to the top of the podium, in what marked the final round of the junior two-stroke division.

Fox took control of the opening race from the start and was never headed, eventually beating Rogers by 4.4 seconds, with Weinert a further five seconds adrift. Alex Larwood (Yamaha) and Ricky Chalmers (KTM) finished fourth and fifth respectively.

In the final race of the day it was again Fox who led the field through for much of the moto, but a costly error on the penultimate lap saw Rogers pounce and take the race and round victory.

Regan Duffy (KTM Junior Motocross Racing Team) finished 4.6 seconds behind, with Fox third, Weinert fourth and Chalmers fifth.
