CDR Yamaha’s Daniel Reardon won the MX1 overall as round eight of the 2015 MX Nationals was held at Nowra Motoplex in New South Wales on Sunday.
A close opening MX1 moto saw Reardon take a tight victory, just over a second clear of fast-finishing teammate Kade Mosig, who made his way past Adam Monea in the closing stages and put on a charge.
Monea was able to hold on for third, comfortably ahead of Lawson Bopping and championship leader Kirk Gibbs, who held position on circuit for the majority of the laps.
Pressuring Gibbs all the way to the end was hometown hero and KTM teammate Luke Styke, after he worked his way forward throughout the moto.
Dylan Long ended up seventh at race’s end, over Jesse Dobson, Kale Makeham and Cody Cooper, who had to come from the back of the pack to sneak into the top 10 by the chequered flag.
NPS Monster Energy Kawasaki stand-in rider Long took a convincing maiden MX1 race victory in moto two this afternoon at Nowra, passing experienced Kiwi Cody Cooper for the lead in the early stages and was never headed.
Long won by around 3.5s and secured third on the overall podium in the process, while second in the race delivered Reardon his first round win in his comeback with CDR Yamaha.
Reardon was able to hold onto position ahead of Styke, who in turn edged out Gibbs, and fifth-placed Kade Mosig, who was third overall.
Also finishing in succession on track was Monea in sixth. Early leader Cooper claimed seventh, the top 10 rounded out by Bopping, Makeham and Dobson.
