Wilson’s Coolair Motul Factory Suzuki press release:

Wilson Coolair Motul Factory Suzuki riders Todd Waters and Luke Wilson are preparing to make their first stop on the long trip west, when the fourth round of the Motul MX Nationals is held in Murray Bridge, South Australia this weekend.

The Suzuki backed team, who currently hold a podium position in the Thor MX1 Championship standings (Waters currently sits in third on 182 points) are looking forward to moving on to softer ground, and getting amongst the red dirt of Murray Bridge this Sunday.

For Waters who has spent the last two years racing the MXGP overseas, the softer terrain is set to play in to his favour, and shared that with his international experience that he’ll be looking to up his game this weekend.

“I’m excited to head to Murray Bridge, I’ve always rode well there so I’m keen to get back. We’ve had a good three weeks of riding so it should be another good round,” he said.

“Murray Bridge is not going to be the deep sand that we will experience at Wanneroo, but it’s definitely going to be a lot of fun. I’ve had some experience overseas riding in the softer conditions so I’m excited.

“I got a race win at Broadford which was good, but now that we’re approaching the mid-season break I really want to be pushing for some round wins, so that’s the goal this weekend.”

Wilson, who made his comeback to racing at Broadford after being forced to sit out of round two with injury, shared that he too is looking forward to Murray Bridge, and will be aiming for a top ten finish this weekend.

“It’s exciting to be heading into some softer stuff, and it’s good that Murray Bridge is first, because it’s sort of halfway between a hard pack track and sand,” he said.

“Murray Bridge seems to be one of everyone’s favourite tracks, so it should be a good weekend. We have been doing some sand riding at home and I’m feeling close to getting back to 100% after my injury too.

“I would like to finish with a top ten at Murray Bridge, but I’m sort of changing the way I look at race weekends these days – as long as I come away with a positive and we’re heading in the right direction I’ll be happy.”

Wilson Coolair Motul Factory Suzuki, will now head to round four of the 2016 Motul MX Nationals at Murray Bridge, in South Australia this Sunday May 22.
