Moree in New South Wales will hold the Monster Energy MX Nationals’ penultimate round of racing this weekend on 19 August.

CDR Yamaha’s Josh Coppins will arrive at round nine with a 12-point lead over the rising star of Todd Waters, on his Motul Pirelli Suzuki in the MX1 class.

The leading duo are set to bring this championship down to the wire, expect exciting racing between the two. Sitting in third position is the premier MX1 class rookie Lawson Bopping on his CDR Yamaha.

Serco Yamaha Metal Mulisha Racing’s Luke Styke maintains a 31-point lead over MX2 championship rival Ford Dale. Dale, on his Carlton Dry Honda Thor entry, has made a late season charge and will be one to watch at Moree.

JDR Motorsports’ Josh Cachia holds down third position and will be surely pushing for more wins before the season ends.

In the hotly contested MX Development division, Kiwi import Kayne Lamont holds a solid 27-point lead over fellow KTM mounted Dylan Long, on his Choice Motorsports entry. Rounding out the top three is newly acquired Axis Motorsports rider Dylan Leary.
