Every single class in the latest round of the Monster Energy MX Nationals have been taken out by Yamaha riders, with Scotsman Billy Mackenzie taking his first win for the manufacturer in the premier MX1 division and Luke Styke extending his Championship lead in MX2 at Hervey Bay.
Mackenzie took the GoPro Superpole and a pair of thirds in the motos saw him end the round with 65 points, just a single point ahead of the Suzuki mounted Moss twins – Jake and Matt.
Crucially from a Championship perspective, the Moss brothers were six points ahead of early Championship leader, KTM’s Todd Waters and has seen Matt Moss take the Championship lead by two points with seven of the 10 rounds complete.
Carlton Dry Honda’s South African newcomer, Gareth Swanepoel took victory in the opening moto with Matt Moss winning the second one.
Styke took his sixth round win of the season thus far aboard his Serco Yamaha beating home Kale Makeham and Kade Mosig. Jay Wilson won the Pirelli MXD category aboard his Yamaha – Kiwi Hamish Harwood continues to lead the Championship. In the Rookies class, Nathan Crawford took that out – completing a momentous day for the blue and white Japanese manufacturer.
