Form guide

The favourites:
Kade Mosig (MX1) – Coming off a huge win at Appin, Mosig will take a lot of added confidence as a result into Broadford. Don’t expect him to sweep for the overall, but a consistent effort just like Appin could see him go back-to-back for round wins.

Jay Wilson (MX2) – The JCR Yamaha rider Wilson was a class act at Appin considering he rode very little in the lead-up, so now, with his brother on the mend and more seat time under his belt, this could be his chance to grab an overall early on in the season.

The threats:
Kirk Gibbs (MX1) – There’s no doubt that Gibbs is the in-form man of Australian motocross, but he doesn’t expect to win every single round by any means. Another podium, if not a win on Sunday, is almost a certainty.

Luke Clout (MX2) – Clouty is the class of MX2 right now, but last year he was off the podium overall and didn’t manage to win a moto (things just didn’t go his way). The win on home turf at Appin was a great one and he’d love to do it again.

The darkhorses:
Adam Monea (MX1) – The Victorian won the first race of the year to open the season at Broadford last year on his way to second overall, so at this stage in need of a drastic form reversal, Monea could break out for a W.

Nathan Crawford (MX2) – This kid’s been steadily gaining steam in his first season of MX2, so with a podium now his following Appin, don’t discount his chances of challenging the Yamahas – Clout, Wilson and Jed Beaton – for an overall this weekend.
