Australia‰Ûªs best Motocross riders will be aiming to make a break for it on Sunday 27 June, when the 2010 Rockstar Energy Drink MX Nationals rolls into Albury Wodonga.
With only three rounds to go, riders will be battling it out for remaining Championship points in a bid to improve their overall standing as the Series nears the end of what has been a massive year.
In the Pro Opens class reigning Champ and CDR Rockstar Yamaha Team rider Jay Marmont will come into the round with the red leader plates, however, with only 13 points separating him from Bourke local and JDR Motorex KTM‰Ûªs Tye Simmonds, he‰Ûªll have to work hard if he‰Ûªs going to make it three Championships in a row.
Marmont is not the only one facing pressure, with Simmonds sitting merely three points ahead of third placed Honda privateer, Dean Ferris.
Ferris is currently in Europe, banging bars with some of the World‰Ûªs best riders and looks set to make life difficult for the front runners when he returns.
