Jordan Hill returned to the podium at Conondale with 4-3 results that saw him take third for the round in a good return to form.
Hill struggled on the wet track in the morning practice but warmed to the occasion and improved as the day went on to ride the conditions well and deserve his podium spot.
Race one saw Hill come from just inside the top 10 to fourth place at the finish, snapping at the heels of the third placed rider. His last few laps showed great speed and left him confident of a good showing in race two.
The second moto and Hill didn‰Ûªt quite get the start he needed, but he managed to slice his way through the pack and move into third at the mid-way stage of the race. He continued to fight all the way until the end of the 20 minute moto, posting his fastest laps of the day in the final stages of the race.
The podium result keeps Hill in fifth place in the championship but with only 37 points separating the top five riders, things are headed for a very tight finish in the MXD class with three rounds remaining.
‰ÛÏAfter a disappointing round at Nowra, it was good to get things back on track today here at Conondale. I‰Ûªm not the greatest fan of mud but it‰Ûªs the same for everyone and you just have to deal with it so I‰Ûªm happy I was able to get a good result in conditions that aren‰Ûªt my best.
‰ÛÏI want to be on the podium at the last four rounds and be as consistent as possible so today I hit that goal. I will keep working hard to get the best results I can,‰Û
