Proformace Kawasaki Racing press release:

The team loaded up and headed to Sunny QLD for rd 5. It was a challenging round from the get go with the team only having Alex Morris competing after the shock announcement from Dylan. The truck headed off on the Thursday morning but didn’t get far before a disaster happened to the merchandise trailer (for those who don’t know we also run the LKI MX Nats official merchandise stand).

It was a shock as a leaf spring broke on what is a fairly new trailer. This didn’t deter the trip however as we somehow managed to limp the trailer home and pack all the merchandise gear into
the truck (it was a full trip).

With the team being down to one rider it was a perfect opportunity to give WBR under 19’s rider’s Ryan Schadbolt and Lachie Davis some extra support and have them pit with the team to help them learn and progress as they come through the ranks.

For a bit of fun and also to challenge the riders a deal was made at the team meeting. The rider with the worst qualifying position would have to wear a wig until their first moto Unfortunately Lachie Davis struggled to come to grips with the sand and this was the outcome. (Pictured on the right).

With all the fun aside it was game time Alex lined up for Moto one. Somehow a few riders got sideways out of the gate and left Alex on the ground only 10 meters out of the gate. Alex got up a distant dead last and charged hard and finished 13th. The team was very happy with Alex’s performance and it was his best ride of the year.

Second moto there was a positive vibe. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be with the bike suffering a mechanical DNF. The team now looks forward to the break and regrouping Working hard and trying to put both bikes inside the top ten. Matt Ryan competed at a local race over the weekend and everything went well so he is on track for a return to Raymond Terrace rd6 of the MX.
