Team Motul Pirelli Suzuki manager Jay Foreman says it will be a proud moment this weekend when the team takes the Pro Open red plate into Campbelltown’s third round of Monster Energy Super X.

Suzuki’s lone Open class factory rider Daniel McCoy raced to his first career win at Wollongong last Saturday night, boosting him and the RM-Z450 to the top of the standings as the halfway mark approaches tomorrow night.

“The first round was positive for us in the mud and we improved on those results over the weekend,” Foreman reflected. “Daniel has the championship lead and we are really proud to get the win in Wollongong.

“His consistency has been really impressive to start the season.”

Foreman has also been pleased with the performance of British rising star Steven Clarke, who was brought into the team just days before the season opener late last month.

Second position in Wollongong has Clarke now ranked fourth in the series after two rounds.

“Steven only rode the bike once before the first race, so he’ll just get better and better now in time,” Foreman added. “He was actually in the running for the win before being caught up with another rider early in the race.

“We look forward to watching his progress in the coming rounds.”

The Super X, Australasian Supercross Championship, will continue this Saturday night at Campbelltown Stadium in New South Wales, marking round three of five for the 2011 season.
