Meanwhile KTM‰Ûªs Kirk Gibbs remains a genuine contender in what is becoming a highly competitive MX1 championship.
Gibbs will enter the round just 19 points in arrears of defending champion Matt Moss, and 26 points ahead of Jake Moss, after a 3-2 result at Swan Hill in Victoria just a fortnight ago.
‰ÛÏIt‰Ûªs good to be nice and close for this one, not quite close enough to sleep in my own bed the night before but still good," Gibbs said.
"I‰Ûªll be going about usual business,
obviously trying to get good starts because it‰Ûªs a short start straight and we‰Ûªve got shorter motos, and just trying to ride it smart.
"It‰Ûªs a tricky track in the morning, very slippery, very grassy, very wet, and it forms up some pretty good lines later in the day. I enjoy going there; it‰Ûªs up and down
the side of a hill and it‰Ûªs got some pretty cool jumps there, it‰Ûªs all just fun. It‰Ûªs also somewhere I always seem to do well,‰Û
