After what has been a somewhat frustrating year for the Monster Energy Kawasaki team, team manager Troy Carroll be looking for moto and round wins at the final two rounds of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals in 2012

The team suffered a run of injuries early in the year that seen Jay Marmont injured during a pre-season photo shoot before the season got under way, while Billy Mackenzie missed half majority of the season after he suffered a thumb injury at Coonabarabran at round two of the series.

While injuries have plagued the teams MX1 riders, the teams MX2 rider Kade Mosig has put in a solid season and currently lies fourth in the championship chase, though at 82 points behind series leader Luke Styke, Carroll does not see Mosig being able to close in for the win.

Though he will not completely rule out the possibility until Mosig is in a position where he mathematically can no longer win.

"I don't think we can win the MX2 championship from where we are, I always say when you are still mathematically in it anything is possible," stated Carroll, "but I think it is a little bit to far out from our reach to be honest"

With his two MX1 riders well out of championship contention and Mosig looking to move into a podium position for the overall series, Carroll and the team have one plan in mind for the remaining two rounds of the year being held at Moree and Coolum.

"We just want to try and win races, If we can win races between now and the end of the season that will be great" said Carroll

"We will let everything else unfold around us and see what happens." he concluded.

Keep an eye out this evening for a full interview with Troy Carroll, where he discusses everything from the 2012 Motocross series, the upcoming SX series and the rumours floating around linking his current riders to other teams for 2013.
