The Serco Yamaha MX2 (250cc) duo of Jackson Richardson and Mitch Evans continued to show their fighting spirit with another hard fought round of racing at round six of the Motul MX Nationals that saw Richardson finish on the podium in second place with team mate Mitch Evans landing in fourth.
And after another intense round of racing, the top four riders in the MX2 class are now separated by just 19 points with four rounds remaining.
Jackson Richardson raced well on the weekend to take second place for the round with 3 ‰ÛÒ 1 results. Richardson had to work hard for his third in the opening moto, charging from as far back at 10th place in the early stages. He continually chased down the riders in front of him and moved forward on a track that many consider hard to pass.
But with a better start in race two, Richardson was determined to cash in of his good track speed. He ran third on the opening laps before taking the lead on lap five and immediately began to stretch out his lead. When he crossed the finish line at the completion of the race, he was 13 seconds ahead of his nearest rival and claimed his first race win of the year.
