Kawasaki - KRT Takes Red Plate to Canberra

Thanks to a sensational opening round by KRT’s newest signing Billy Mackenzie, the green team takes the coveted Opens class Red Plate with them to the second round of the Australian Motocross Championship in Canberra this Sunday 18 April where the team plans to exceed its Championship lead even further.

Finding much success previously in both Europe and Japan, Scottish rider Billy Mackenzie added to his already impressive resume at the opening round of the Australian Motocross Championship at Horsham setting extremely fast lap times, qualifying in pole and taking the overall round win in convincing fashion.

KRT hopes to add another Red Plate to its arsenal at the second round of the series with Pro Lites rider Cody Mackie showing great form and sitting just 5 points shy of the series leader.

Kawasaki Racing Team Principal, Kevin Crutcher says, “We enjoyed a great start to the season at Canberra but the season has only just begun and there is still a lot more work to be done. Our goal is to gather all three red plates and with the speed both Cody Mackie and Luke Arbon are showing, that’s very achievable.”

“We’re all looking forward to Canberra and are confident of further success. I encourage everybody to make their way over to the Kawasaki pits where we’ll have our brand new KRT posters available with rider signings throughout the day”.
