The 2012 Monster Energy MX Nationals heads to Coonabarabran for round two this weekend, 14-15 April.

Conondale MX1 winner Ben Townley will be back once again before heading stateside, while defending champion Jay Marmont will be looking for a strong performance as he continues to regain fitness following a recent knee injury.

Watch for Brad Anderson and Todd Waters to be firing this weekend, coming off second and third place finishes respectively at round one, both looking fast and smooth, as is Honda privateer Jake Moss.

MX2 round one winner, Kirk Gibbs, will be riding strong after a vital weekend-off from racing, letting his injured wrist recover. Ford Dale and Gibb’s teammate Luke Styke will be right there, along with Josh Cachia and Adam Monea, who both put in strong rides at Conondale.

This weekend will also feature the MXD category as usual, currently led by Dylan Long, while the Vets and ATV Cup will feature as support classes throughout the weekend.

MotoOnline.com.au will compile an official pre-race Fan Guide ahead of every round in 2012.
