CMR Red Bull KTM’s Hamish Harwood is targeting an MX2 seat for the 2014 Monster Energy MX Nationals, Australian Motocross Championship.

The 18-year-old Kiwi clinched the MXD championship last weekend at Coolum, now hoping he can land support to step up a category next season.

“Plans for next year we’re not too sure yet,” Harwood told MotoOnline.com.au. “We’re just waiting on deals or teams to see if there are any rides for next year – hopefully I can come back and ride MX2.

“I quite like the Aussie tracks, I like the formats that they do and yeah, I’m definitely looking forward to 2014.”

Last year’s MXD title was won by former CMR Red Bull KTM rider Kayne Lamont, who went on to finish eighth in the MX2 series as part of the KTM-supported Choice Motorsports team in 2013.
