Serco Yamaha’s Wilson Todd has bolstered his points advantage in the MX2 category following a stunning victory at today’s sixth round of the Pirelli MX Nationals in Conondale, Queensland.

Todd stormed to the hole-shot in moto one, although Complete Parts Kawasaki Racing’s Aaron Tanti stole the lead just moments later. Tanti and Todd duelled in the following laps with Jay Wilson (GYTR Yamalube Yamaha) in tow, although the former champion would make a mistake on lap five, losing considerable ground on the leaders.

A front-end washout on lap six from Tanti demoted him to second, allowing Todd ride away with an incredible 14.833s victory over Tanti.

Wilson held on for third ahead of Dylan Wills (DPH Motorsport Husqvarna) and Kyle Webster (Penrite CRF Honda Racing), while top 10 was rounded out by Hamish Harwood (Davey Motorsport KTM), Richie Evans (Yamalube Yamaha Racing), Jy Roberts (Husqvarna), Egan Mastin (KTM Motocross Racing Team) and Ricky Latimer (Ride Red Honda).

In race two, it was Webster and Tanti who fought for the hole-shot, Webster with the advantage in turn two, although a return serve from Tanti saw him controlling the field as they exited the corner.

Todd made quick work of Webster before pouncing on Tanti, securing the lead on lap two before capturing a thrilling 9.540s victory, crediting him the overall. Tanti wound up second ahead of Webster, Harwood and Wills, as the top 10 was rounded out by Mastin, Evans, Makeham, Cody Dyce (Empire Motorsports Yamaha) and Jayden Rykers (Raceline Pirelli KTM).

Jay Wilson held down a top 10 placing for much of the race before an error relegated him down the field. Overall it was Todd – who continues to control the championship – Tanti and Webster.

The Pirelli MX Nationals will return to action on 14-15 July at the Ranch MX circuit in Raymond Terrace, New South Wales, marking rounds seven and eight of the series.
