Team Kawasaki Motivated for Moree

Cody Mackie - KRT

Kawasaki Racing Team riders, Billy Mackenzie, Cody Mackie and Luke Arbon head to the 7^th round of the 2010 Australian Motocross Championship at Moree, NSW, full of confidence and optimism. With Mackenzie currently sitting in 2^nd place in the Championship in the Opens class and Mackie in 3^rd place in the Pro Lites class, both riders will be riding for valuable Championship points as they strive for Championship Titles. Under 19s rider Luke Arbon makes a sooner than expected return to racing, lining up this weekend after breaking his wrist at the previous round. Currently sitting in 5^th, Luke is striving for a top three finish to the series.

With more moto wins and pole position qualifications this season than any other Opens rider, KRT’s Billy Mackenzie has been the rider to beat throughout the season. An unfortunate crash early in the day at Canberra affected his overall points haul and places him second on the leader-board, however his current speed and form stands him well in his chase for Championship glory.

Billy says, “I’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain over the next two weekends. I’ll just go out there and race the race-track and whatever happens happens.”

Sitting 3^rd in the Pro Lites class and only two points shy of 2^nd place is KRT’s Cody Mackie. Showing his best form so far in the series at the last round (finishing 2^nd overall) Cody heads to Moree confident of further success.

Cody says, “I’m really excited about this weekend. It’s a new track and I haven’t ridden there so I’m really looking forward to getting into it. I want to finish these last few rounds on a high. I had my best round last round and want to improve on that this weekend.”

Striving for a top three Championship finish in the Under 19s’ class, Luke Arbon will amazingly line up at Moree this weekend on his KX250F after injuring his wrist last round. Luke’s earlier than expected come-back shows his high level of fitness and gritty determination to represent both himself and his team as best he can.

KRT Manager Troy Carroll is very happy with the team’s preparation heading into Moree, saying, “It’s been another great 3 weeks. Both Billy and Cody’s preparation has been great. It’s been unfortunate that Luke hasn’t been able to ride since injuring his wrist at Wodonga but he will be racing this weekend.”

“I think myself and the mechanics have worked really hard the last few weeks. We haven’t left any stone unturned so that the riders have the best possible opportunities to win over the next two weekends”.

KRT will be racing for precious Championship points at Moree this Sunday 18 July before the season wraps up the following weekend at Coolum QLD.

Billy Mackenzie's Red Plate

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”.
