Phillips hoped to do better than his seventh place at Echo Valley.

Carlton Dry Honda Thor Racing’s Michael Phillips has admitted he is disapointed with his results at the Toowoomba round of the Rockstar Energy Drink MX Nationals on the weekend.

Finishing sixth, eighth and seventh in the three races, Phillips finished a slightly frustrating seventh overall for the day in the sloppy conditions at Echo Valley.

“To be honest I was a little bit disappointed with my results today,” Phillips reflected.

”I wanted to push harder but something in the back of my head said play it safe and finish each race.

“The track conditions today made it extremely tough and I couldn’t get comfortable. The main line dried out but if you got off the line it was treacherous,” Phillips explained.

Despite not finishing as high in the rankings as he would have liked, Phillips still retains sixth place in the championship.

With the MX Nationals series taking a four week hiatus, Phillips will return home to New Zealand to continue preparations before heading to round six of the series at Coonabarabran’s Goanna Tracks complex on June 19.
