Moss twins take out Sydney Monster Energy Super X event
Saturday November 27, 2010; Australia’s riding twins and Rockstar Motul Suzuki team mates, Jake and Matt Moss, both finished first in their respective classes at the penultimate round of the Monster Energy Super X series in Parramatta tonight.
Jake Moss
Jake took out a drama filled Open final whilst Matt was impressive all night for a dominant win in the Lites.
The Quad challenge format featured in the Open class with each race having a different winner.
Hansen claimed the first of the four, six lap races in a dominant performance leaving Scotland’s Billy Mackenzie in his first ever Super X and supercross race in second and Jay Marmont third.
In the second moto Dan McCoy and Jay Marmont were neck and neck for the whole race after Hansen got stuck back in the pack at the start. McCoy managed to hold on for the win with Marmont second and Daniel Reardon in third. Hansen finished eighth with a bent gear shift that forced him to race in one gear for the entire race.
Mackenzie took the third holeshot of the night with Hansen close behind and Jake Moss third. The two Kawasaki riders were neck and neck in the final lap, but the Scot held off Hansen for the win. Moss held on for third.
Mackenzie claimed the final holeshot of the night and Hansen once again got stuck back in the pack. Mackenzie, Marmont and Moss were all within a bike length of one another up front for most of the race, until Marmont took a dive in the sand section. On the same lap Mackenzie went off the side of the track allowing Moss to pass. Mackenzie and Marmont swapped second and third places numerous times throughout the race, but it was Moss who grabbed the win with Mackenzie second and Marmont third.
Moss was first overall on a count back with Mackenzie second and Marmont third.
Jake Moss (AUS)
“It was so awesome to get the win tonight especially with Matt winning too. I was riding really tight all night, but everything just came together for me in the final.”
Billy Mackenzie (SCO)
“I am really happy with my result tonight and I did so much better than I ever could have expected. I have been training supercross for a month, but the last couple of weeks have been tough after the accident with Harley Quinlan. I was with him when it happened so riding has been hard. I had some really good starts tonight which were really important on this track because it was hard to pass.”
Jay Marmont (AUS)
“It’s always good to be on the podium, but I am disappointed I went down in the sand in the last race. I was leading overall before that and in a good position for the win, but at least I finished ahead of Hansen. Mossy has been gaining points on me the last couple of rounds so I really need some wins in Brisbane.”
The unforgiving Survival format featured in the Lites final and the final five lap race of five riders was down to Matt Moss, Josh Cachia, Lawson Bopping, Kade Mosig and Ford Dale, with championship leader PJ Larsen forced to withdraw with bike troubles to finish seventh.
Team mates Lawson Bopping and Matt Moss battled for first and second at the start of the race, but shortly after Moss made the pass, Bopping collided with Mackie allowing Cachia to move into second and pushing Bopping back to third.
The Championship lead has now been passed back to Moss with PJ Larsen only five points behind going into the final round in Brisbane next weekend.
Young gun Dylan Long made it four wins from four in the Michelin Development Series with Jarrad Davis second and Luke Clout third.
The final round of the series will be held at QSAC stadium in Brisbane next Saturday December 4.
