Yamaha Motor Australia press release:

An accidental collision between CDR Yamaha team mates Dan Reardon and Kade Mosig during the opening moto at round three of the 2015 MX Nationals has slowed the progress of the CDR Yamaha duo in the points chase.

Reardon and Mosig came together 10 minutes into the first race as they had raced away from the pack and setting lap times that would have seen the pair ride off into the distance from the chasing MX1 field.

The collision resulted in a crash that saw Mosig on the ground and left to battle his way back to 12th place while Reardon was forced out of the race with damage to his water pump. The incident halted what looked to be a very promising day for the team with Reardon taking out the Superpole qualifying with a blistering lap and then the pair running away with moto one.

Reardon rebounded for a solid second place in race two while Mosig could only manage an eighth place finish in a tough day for the CDR Yamaha team. Mosig now sits third in the championship despite the issues at Broadford while Reardon is in 10th.

“It was an eventful day and something that I have never experience in my time as a team manager,” states CDR’s Craig Dack.

“Both riders were going well and with our nearest rivals having some problems in race one, it was the perfect opportunity to make up some points and pour the pressure on.

“After moto one, we sat down as a team and talked through what happened and we will again do so during the week to reinforce the team structures and how we operate. I’m sure Kade and Dan are both professional enough to move on from what happened on Sunday and be back in the game come Murray Bridge,” Dack ends.
