The 2016 Motul MX Nationals head to Coolum in Queensland for the two-day season finale where the MX1, MX2 and MXD championships will be decided in the final motos of the year.

Form

Our picks:
Dean Ferris (MX1) – Entering the final round of the season now just six points behind series leader Kirk Gibbs, expect Ferris to be firing on all cylinders as he attempts to dethrone the factory KTM rider.

Nathan Crawford (MX2) – Coming off the back of a strong performance in Toowoomba where he reclaimed the series leading red plate, Crawford is looking strong for the Coolum win. In 2015 he also finished ahead of current championship rivals Jed Beaton and Caleb Ward.

Next best:
Kirk Gibbs (MX1) – Gibbs will be right there this weekend as he attempts to defend his first premier class motocross championship. Will he win? Possibly, if not, he’ll keep tabs on Ferris all weekend and do what needs to be done.

Jed Beaton (MX2) – Following a rough round in Toowoomba it’s up to Beaton to go out and win both motos in Coolum to give himself the best shot at this MX2 title, he has the ability to do so, it all seems to comes down to those critical starts for the Yamaha rider.

Outside chances:
Todd Waters (MX1) – Waters is a fan of the Coolum circuit and has the skills and speed to take out this round win, keep an eye on the factory Suzuki rider this weekend.

Caleb Ward (MX2) – Ward is a sand specialist and he also claimed the MX2 overall victory in 2014. The factory KTM rider could come out and sweep both motos, but again, it all comes down to nailing solid starts.

Watch for:
MX1 – Kyle Peters, Kade Mosig, Dylan Long, Jay Wilson, Jesse Dobson

MX2 – Kyler Webster, Jayden Rykers, Wilson Todd, Dylan Wills, Kale Makeham
