2016 New Zealand MX: Round 1 Results

8 years ago | Photos: Andy McGechan/BikesportNZ.com

Fresh from winning the New Zealand Motocross Grand Prix at Woodville on debut last weekend, the 25-year-old from Kyogle in NSW, Dean Ferris, has now made it two major Kiwi successes in a row after winning the opening round of the 2016 New Zealand Motocross Championship at Pleasant Point, near Timaru, on Sunday.

Runner-up was defending national MX1 champion, Honda’s Cody Cooper, finishing with a 2-3-2 scorecard. Another Australian import, Suzuki’s Todd Waters, completed the podium with a 3-2-3 result.

The win gives Ferris an 11-point buffer as the riders now prepare for round two, which will take place at the Flipp’s track at Himatangi, near Palmerston North, on February 28.

Takaka’s Hamish Harwood topped the MX2 class ahead of Reporoa’s Haleigh Knight and Australia’s Jed Beaton, while the 125cc class was won by Ngatea’s Ben Broad, ahead of Karaka’s Kurtis Lilly and Taupo’s Wyatt Chase.
