Serco Yamaha Metal Mulisha Racing’s Luke Styke’s MX2 championship campaign is right on target after taking his third straight podium at the Wonthaggi Monster Energy MX Nationals round.

After taking a third at round one and an impressive win at round two, Styke laid down 3-1-6 results at Wonthaggi’s round three to put himself in second place overall, maintaining the championship points lead.

“Today was good,” said Styke. “The first two races went well and I felt like I had the speed and fitness to get the job done, but my start in the last race wasn’t great so I just had to get as many points as possible.

“My plan is to be fast and consistent at every round and so far things are on track after the first three rounds.”

Styke holds a 13 point lead over second place Carlton Dry Honda Thor Racing’s Ford Dale as the series heads into its fourth round at Wanneroo in Western Australia on 12-13 May.
