Ferris continues on merry way
Another MX Nationals round and yet more domination from the Yamaha-backed juggernautDean Ferris (Yamaha) has again stolen the show in the 2018 MX Nationals, winning round six in Queensland on July 1 with yet another perfect 1-1 scorecard.
Ferris took the MX1 overall honours at Conondale ahead of Brett Metcalfe (Honda) and Kade Mosig (Husqvarna).
“It wasn’t easy today and I had to dig deep to get both race wins,” Ferris said. “My starts weren’t what they needed to be and the speed of the top five guys was good so it made for hard work.
“But it is rewarding to win it this way and I’m glad I was able to make it happen. I still want challenges and I want to race – and that’s what I got today and I’m excited about that.
“Conondale is one of my favourite tracks and it was cool to have a good crowd here to watch as well as plenty of friends and family that stopped by to lend their support. We will keep working hard until this championship is secure.”
In the opening moto, Ferris won ahead of Mosig, Metcalfe, Mitch Evans (KTM) and Luke Clout (KTM), and in the second Ferris defeated Metcalfe, Clout, Caleb Ward (Husqvarna) and Mosig.
Meanwhile, Wilson Todd (Yamaha) and Hugh McKay (Yamaha) were the victors in the MX2 and MXD classes at Conondale.
The 2018 MX Nationals will continue at Ranch MX (NSW) with a double-header on July 14-15.
