Oz MX: Waters continues to sizzle
Another double win for the KTM rider, and he now holds a commanding 44pt lead in the championship over Suzuki's Matt Moss after three of 10 roundsTodd Waters has produced another imposing performance in the 2013 Australian Motocross, claiming his seconde clean sweep in as many rounds at Wonthaggi (Vic) on May 5.
The KTM ace (pictured) won the first moto from Cody Cooper (Suzuki) and Lawson Bopping (Yamaha), and then took the second ahead of Adam Monea (Kawasaki) and Matt Moss (Suzuki).
"We got two from two today, which was great, and third in the Super Pole got us some solid points,” said Waters. “The track was pretty good for us -- it got choppy in the hard pack and rollier in the sandy sort of soil so it was like riding two different disciplines which always makes things a challenge.
“I had Coops tag along with me for a while in the first moto and Monea in the second which kept me honest and gives me something to work towards coming out for the next round. The points I know are important but I’m not really worried about them to tell you the truth -- that’s Rob’s (the team manager’s) job, I’m just out to do the best I can do and wherever that lands me it lands me."
Waters (214pts) has extended his lead out to 44pts, with Moss (170) now into second at the expense of Bopping (168pts), followed by Cooper (160pts), Billy Mackenzie (Yamaha, 157pts) and Tye Simmonds (Yamaha, 140pts).
In the MX2 class, Luke Style (202pts) leads the championship ahead of Yamaha teammate Luke Clout (184pts) and KTM’s Kale Makeham (170pts).
