Bolton KTM Motorcycles rider Jack Simpson took round honours in the MXD class in round two of the 2014 Monster Energy MX Nationals at Appin today.

Simpson won the second moto of the day to go with his opening race second place, to finish six points clear of Husqvarna Motocross Racing Team’s Egan Mastin, who went 1-5 today.

Mastin won the opening moto of the round in fine style after overcoming the fast-starting Simpson mid-race, and he was on track for a sweep until an incident while leading moto denied him the overall.

Opening round winner Jed Beaton (GYTR Yamaha) finished the second round in third place overall, following fourth and second place finishes from his two motos.

Fellow GYTR Yamaha rider Wilson Todd and Husqvarna rider Nathan Crawford continued their consistent performances from round one, finishing the Appin round in fourth and fifth place outright respectively.

The Appin event was the first time in the series that the Yamaha 125cc Junior Cup has featured as a support class, and it was Mitch Evans (KTM Australia Junior Race Team) who managed a clean-sweep with two comprehensive race wins.

Husqvarna factory pilot Connor Tierney overcame two poor starts to navigate his way through the field in each race and register two third-place finishes.

Yamaha Junior Racing Team rider Cody Dyce was a model of consistency claiming two fourth-placings in his two races to take third overall for the round.

Privateer Dylan Dukes rode his KTM to fourth overall for the round, while Yamaha Junior Racing Teams’ Brendon Walther rounded out the top five with a second and 14th.
