Proformance Kawasaki makes progress at Appin

Learly claims first top ten of the season.

Proformance Kawasaki Racing press release:

The team enjoyed solid improvements from round 1 in Horsham 2 weeks ago.

Moto 1 – Things started well with both bikes coming around turn one in the top 7. Unfortunately Dylan had a big crash right at the end of lap one, His neck brace come off and bike was bent so he pulled into the pits to fix those issues then re entered the race, Dylan charged hard through the field to make it back to the top 10 which was an awesome result, then on the second last lap.

Dylan suffered a flat front tyre, Dylan completed the race 13th. Alex enjoyed running up front as high as 5th Alex lost a few positions but maintained 7th for majority of the race, Unfortunately after the 20min mark the wheels feel off a little with Alex fading to finish the moto 14th.

Moto 2 – Dylan again grabbed a good start roughly 7th, by the end of lap 1 Dylan was fifth making an unbelievable pass on Taka #888 around the outside of a corner, This was short lived with a crash towards the end of lap two, Dylan finished the moto 9th. Alex this time had the first lap crash Alex rode well with a bent up bike and a very low clutch lever to finish the moto 23rd.

Overall it was a step in the right direction with better starts, we just need to minimise the mistakes and early moto crashes and the results will become much better. The team is now looking forward to round 3 Broadford. For the Round overall Dylan took 10th and Alex 18th still not what we want but we showed a lot of improvement from round 1.

Hugh Mckay again joined the team in the juniors, Hugh rode great with third fastest in qualifying and by the end of moto one was in a position to take third unfortunately a lap rider crashed in front of Hugh and took him down. Hugh ended the day in 5th overall. He is on track to be a future star of MX Nationals.
