Team Axis 07 has recently acquired the much anticipated 2010 Fuel Injected CRF250R and will debut this bike at the final
round of the SuperX Series.
Riding the machine will be Wade Thompson whom missed the last round at Parramatta due to Family Commitments.
Axis Motorsports' Andrew Hopson said - "we are exited to be able to be the first Team to race this Bike. It is a brand new model with
extensive changes to Chassis, Engine and Suspension. We were extremely satisfied with only one day of testing, so continued testing
should make for a machine that will be hard to beat".
On his last test day for the 2009 SX season Wade Thompson could not beleive the improvements this bike had over his 2009 race bike.
"I could easily clear combinations that my 2009 Race Bike could only just get over. For me it makes riding faster for longer easier".
At this stage the only modifications on the bike are Vortex ignition, DRD Pipe, Suspension upgrades, Axis Headwork and cosmetic mods.
Future mods will be further engine component upgrades and Updated Specs in the suspension.
Stay tuned for an itemised list of mods you can perform on your own bike when we return from Brisbane.

 Derek Mayo and Josh Spanos Due to Team 07 Axis Motorsport Pro Lite rider Wade Thompson being unable to race Parramatta SX there was an
opportunity to let another rider into the Team for a one off rider under the Transporter.
Josh is a privateer and also a full time Mechanic for Loxton Motorcycles in South Australia. He raced the National MX
Series with varied success and decided to race the SuperX Series.
Josh and his family has built up a relationship with Axis Motorsports through engine and suspenion improvements.
What better way to thank a someone for their patronage than to offer them a ride on our Race Bike on Team 07 Axis.
The first goal for the day was to qualify for evening races. We ticked of this goal in the first qualifying session.
Evening finals consisted of 4x5 lap races. Josh was taken out in the 1st race, finished 16th in Race 2 and 3, but his
best race would be Race 4 where he was in 7th position at one stage only to be taken out by another rider.
Josh has been supported by Loxton Motorcycles all season, as well as Scott Goggles, Brett Hammerstein Concretors
and Collins Industrial Distributors and will be riding the Brisbane Round in 3 Weeks. d

Team 07 Axis Motorsports arrived at Skilled stadium for Round 2 of the Australian SuperX series. We were quickly reminded of its
history when we were introduced to the Holy Grail of the AFL.
The Geelong Cats were the winners of the 2009 AFL Premiership and were more than happy to let us pose with their silverware.
Unaware to us the cup is rarely out of its secure lockdown area, so were thank the Geelong Cats staff for making us feel welcome in
thier hometown.

Last Saturday evening saw the opening round of the 2009 Monster Energy Super X Series at Aurora Stadium in Launceston.
The Seven Axis Motorsport crew arrived with riders Mike Addison ( Pro Open ) and Wade Thompson ( Pro Lites ) carrying their hopes for the 2009 series.
With the track in near perfect condition Thompson lined up for race 1 of the double header pro lite final. After a very mediocre start being 16th into the first corner Thomspon had his work cut out to make up ground in the 10 lap race. He made his way through to 11th before a mistake cost him dearly before slipping back to finish in 19th. Race 2 was a non event for Thompson as he came together with fellow SA rider Ricky Girdwood in the first corner. Thompson finished round 1 in 20th overall.
"It wasnt my best performance by all means but i am determined to put head down and focus on Geelong next weekend and get back up in the top 8 where I know I belong" said Thompson.
The Pro Opens was a much more positive affair for Pro Open rider Mike Addison. Michael came away inside the top 10 by the end of the nights racing. In Race 1 he began mid pack but quickly made his way up to 8th which he held onto until Reed passed him at the halfway mark. Addison continued to ride strongly and held his own finishing in 9th place. Race 2 started in similar fashion to race 1 but this time Addison held on to the front pack for the first 5 laps. He moved passed Haworth into 8th on lap 7 and finshed the race stronlgy hunting down McCoy and Anderson in the fnal 3 laps. Addison placed 9th overall.
Addison says " It was great to be able to finish the first round inside the top 10. I am happy to come through the first round unscathed and points on the board. Now we can head into geelong with real confidence knowing we can run with the lead pack. I obviously need to work harder on my starts which I will be doing this week during practice. I have to thank the team at Axis for putting together a great bike for me in an ultra short time frame and AXO apparell for supporting the team."
Team Seven Axis Motorpsorts Crew Chief Andrew Hopson says " We can take a few positives away from the weekend - the bikes handled well, the boys came through the round with no injuries and points on the board. Sure Wade was a little off the pace for Round 1, but we've spoken and he knows what he has to do to be ready for Round 2. Mick acheived his goal of top 10 for Round 1 and is ready to move forward"
The team now has less than a week to get things fine tuned for round 2 in Geelong next Saturday. |
