After surveying what is arguably the best MX track in Australia on Saturday, an exited team 07 Axis Motorsports Honda was keen for a solid result on race day Sun.

Racing began an hour earlier than usual to accommodate for the over 3 minute lap times.

As usual it was the under 19’s up first. Dylan Peterson, returning from a 5 week injury spell after breaking his collarbone in a training accident had only 20mins bike time before this track. Dylan qualified 3^rd and would struggle with poor starts all day. His race results of 5-6-3-5 would see him finish on the podium in 3^rd position on the day.

Justin McDonald, Cody Mackie and Keiron Hall would have a day of mixed fortunes in the Pro Lites class with McDonald being the best finisher in 4^th position going 5-2-5-8. Cody Mackie started the day strong with a solid 3^rd in the first Moto, but would also succumb to poor starts on the day. His 3-5-11-11 would be only good enough for 7^th on the day. Keiron Hall had a tough day in the office and would be the only rider in the team not to move up in the championship points standings. An electrical problem on his bike nearly forced Keiron to re-join the race 1 lap down to salvage 20^th position. His results of 20-12-13-10 would see him to 14^th position overall for the day.

Team 07 Axis Motorsports co-owner Mark Haughton reflected on the day saying “I am happy to have Dylan back, and am satisfied with his podium. He will enjoy a further 2 weeks of training and will be 100% fit and ready for Albury. As for our Pro Lite guys, I was expecting a better result – but it’s an extremely competitive year this year. Ideally it would be great to have all riders on the podium, but realistically it is very difficult to do – but stranger things have happened”.
