Lamont's sensational day out not only left him standing on the top step of the podium, but also leaves him with a more than handy 20 point lead after just one round of racing.
"Today felt good, I was kind of hoping to do that coming off a strong season in New Zealand." Lamont admitted. "I had a good day today, the track was pretty gnarly, my bike stayed together and stayed straight, I stayed upright and made the day quite easy for myself.
"Racing the New Zealand series was a huge help, I have had a great off season where most of the Aussie guys have probably not had the same type of preparation coming in as me.
"The first few rounds I am hoping to make a bit impact over here and then continue my success hopefully over the rest of the season," he added.
