Under clear blue skies and perfect track conditions Round 2 of the Pirelli MX Nationals series was held over the weekend in Appin, NSW.
The event also hosted round 1 of the Junior ‰Û÷Rookies Cup‰Ûª where Australia‰Ûªs best junior racers would go head to head as part of a three round championship that would also include the Murray Bridge round and Coolum‰Ûªs final round of the series.
BCP Pro Circuit Honda Factory junior rider and current national junior 250cc champion Dante Hyam performed well on the day finishing a solid second place overall behind eventual winner Regan Duffy. Hyam‰Ûªs score card showed a third place in moto one after coming through the pack due to being caught in a first turn pileup. Moto two saw Hyam work his way from 7th place up to 2nd by the time the chequered flag was waved.
‰ÛÏI‰Ûªm happy with second place points to start the series, but I‰Ûªm not happy with how I was riding today,‰Û
