Luke Arbon (DNF-6-1) gave the South Australian 11th on the day after collapsing a front wheel on the big extension jump but was able to retain third in the championship.
Hamish Harwood CMR Redbull KTM MX2 - 5th Overall
"The track was disappointing to be honest, it had real potential to be an awesome track but unfortunately it appeared there wasn't enough prep work or water. It came up dusty and dry with not so many ruts, but everyone's got to race the same track. On another note, the weather couldn't have been better!"
Qualifying: - Came in 1st. In qualifying I put down a solid lap at the start of the session which put me in second for most of qualifying before I did my last hot lap which put me in 1st. I felt good on the bike and was wrapped with being top qualifier for the first time.
Moto1: "I had a good start and was in about 4th place. When the race settled in after I went back and forwards a few times I was back in 4th place then moved into 3rd about mid race. I finished the race in a pleasing 2nd place."
Moto 2: "This was a terrible race, it started with a bad start, then a crash early on. I was around 20th with some serious work to do. With a few brutal passes and knocks that were pretty sketchy, I finished the moto in a disappointing 12th."
Moto 3: "I came off the start in about 3rd place which I was happy with, but unfortunately lost a few places during the Moto which was mentally tough for me. By race end I came in 5th place. I struggled a heap with my rear suspension as it wasn't working as it usually does. But no excuses, it was just one of those not so good motos."
"The 2,12,5 results put me in 5th for the day. With not the best day at Conondale, however it only makes me more hungry to train harder and get faster and fitter. Can't wait for the last 3 rounds!
"Special thanks for this round goes to; Brent and Del from Pohara Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park, Jade Thompson from Target MX Coaching, Craig Brown and the Court Family.
"Also a huge thanks to my sponsors: CMR Redbull KTM Motorex race team, Pohara Beach TOP 10 Holiday Park, Target MX Coaching, GC Excavations, Suspension Tech, LKI, Epic Decals, MTF Vehicle Finance, Paramount Nutrition, 100% Goggles, Alpinestars, Pirelli, Battery mart."
