2015 MX NATIONALS: ROUND 10 RESULTS
After close to 70mls of rain fell at the Coolum Pines circuit the night before race day, the riders arrived early sunday morning walking into unknown track conditions. Despite the rain however, the sun was well and truly shining when bikes hit the track at 9am, setting the stage for what would be an epic day of racing for the final round of the championship.
In the premier MX1 class, KTM Motocross Racing Team’s Kirk Gibbs collected his first ever Monster MX1 Championship win, wrapping up this year’s title in spectacular celebratory fashion. When the 450 machines lined up for moto one, Gibbs was armed with the knowledge that if Mosig won the first moto, that he would only need to finish 20th in order to wrap up the championship. With that known, when the premier MX1 class rolled up to the grid, all eyes were on the number five KTM machine, and anticipation in awarding the 2015 title cranked up to a hole new level.
When the chequered flag flew in moto one, the top four riders switched positions, with Townley edging out Styke to take the race win, followed by KTM’s Gibbs in third. Despite Townley’s win, the man of the moment was KTM’s Gibbs – third place in moto one being more than enough for him and the KTM Motocross Racing Team to deservingly wrap up the 2015 MX1 championship title after ten rounds.
In the second moto it was Monea who crossed the line victorious, followed by Townley in second and Dylan Long in third. With the championship well and truly already wrapped up, Gibbs raced to seventh place in moto two, enjoying a far more leisurely pace.
It’s been such a long time coming, and it’s so hard to explain because you put so much time and effort into it, and this year has felt so long for me,” said Gibbs.

When moto one concluded it was Jay Wilson who crossed the line victorious, ahead of former teammate Clout, followed by Coolum local Nathan Crawford (Husqvarna) who put in a solid charge to conclude moto one in third. With the win in moto one, Wilson looked to line up in moto two to wrap up his first ever MX2 championship and sure enough when the chequered flag flew in moto two, Wilson celebrated across the line, taking the race two win ahead of Crawford and GYTR’s Beaton, ad wrapping up his first ever Motul MX2 championship win.
