Ferris and Moss all square in Nowra
Round six of the MX Nationals and the pair couldn't be separated on points, but it's Kirk Gibbs who leads the championshipDean Ferris (Yamaha) and Matt Moss (Kawasaki) finished equal on points in round six of the 2016 MX Nationals in Nowra, NSW on July 3.
The pair finished with 67pts across the two MX1 motos, ahead of Kirk Gibbs (KTM, 58), Kade Mosig (Kawasaki, 55), Todd Waters (Suzuki, 54) and Dylan Long (Honda, 49).
“It feels good to get the win here at Nowra," said Ferris. “It’s my goal to win every weekend, but even halfway through that final race I thought I might have to settle for second, but Mossy (Matt) crashed and handed it to me.
“After Wanneroo I was a bit battered and bruised and it took a couple of weeks to get back to 100 percent but I had a solid break and did a lot of training and riding so I’m back to where I was.
“The championship is always in the back of your mind but I just need to take it one race at a time, chip away at it, and make sure I’m strong and solid every moto from here on out.”
Moss said: “Despite tying on points for the round win, it was a bit of a disappointing day really. I felt great, the bike was awesome and I’m so happy with this team, but a couple of errors cost us the overall win today.
"I rode really strong in that opening race and it was great to battle past Ferris in the second race before I hit a rock and went down, but it was good to pull some points back in the championship fight.”
Gibbs leads the championship on 409pts from Ferris (394), Waters (388), Moss (381) and Mosig (323).
The next round will be held in Conondale, Qld on July 17.
