Tri State Triumph for GYTR YJR

The final round of the Queensland Motocross Championships hit the picturesque Echo Valley circuit in Toowoomba on the weekend but the team were a rider down as Jake Cannon suffered a wrist injury a week prior and was unable to race on the weekend.

That left Levi Rogers as the lone ranger and he did exactly what he needed to do secure two more championships to his name. Rogers won five out of the six motos contested over the weekend across the 15 years 125 and 15 years 250cc classes and only a spectacular fall in moto two on his YZ125 prevented a clean sweep of the round and the series.

Rogers, as the highest junior point scorer in the championship, retains the number 1 plate for the second year in a row and keeps it in the possession of YJR riders for the fifth year running.

Other Yamaha riders also competed well in the state championships included Jackson Camilleri pulling down two class wins in the 13-14 years 125 and 250cc races as well as a third place in the 14-15 years 85cc division in an ironman effort.

Zac Watson claimed two podium finishes for the championship with a second place finish in the 14-15 years 85cc as well as a third place in the 13-14 years 125cc. In fact, four of the top five riders in the 13-14 years 125cc were Yamaha mounted with Jesse Holding and Charli Cannon doing well.

Holding also took second place in the 13-14 years 250cc and Cannon a third place finish in the 12-U14 years 85cc.
