Jay Marmont went into the 4th round of the Monster Energy MX Nationals at Wanneroo on the back foot after aggravating a knee injury that has affected him throughout the series.
Although he was not 100% physically, with support and training advice from friend and Perth local Danny Green, Marmont lined up at Wanneroo in a healthy state of mind. Riding through immense pain, Marmont managed to hole-shot all three races and take his first race win of the series.
A small crash in the opening stages of the first moto put Jay to the back of the pack, forcing him to ride through for an 8th place finish. Marmont was then flawless in the second race, overtaking the series leader Josh Coppins to take his first win on board the Monster Energy Kawasaki KX450F.
‰ÛÏI have Mixed emotions today." said Marmont "I hole-shot the first race and think I could‰Ûªve won it. I felt my pace was good and went from almost dead last back up to 8th."
"I got the hole-shot in the second race then Coppins got me. I played a bit of cat and mouse with him and worked out where I was faster and was able to pass him for a race win which was awesome for myself and the team." he explained.
