Moto1 Motorcycles owner Shane Fretwell commented following Round 2;

“After a challenging Opening Round, it was nice to see so many of our riders find their flow and ride like they know they are capable of at SSMX Round 2. Obviously Rowdy taking the Overall Win was fantastic progress, Joe and Darci also landed on the Overall podium.”

“As a Development program it’s not all about results and all of our team members and their families put their best foot forward at Round 2 and that’s what this program is all about, with these young riders chasing their racing aspirations in the very competitive SSMX Championship”, concluded Mr Fretwell. 

Darci Whally now heads to Wonthaggi, for the Opening Round of the ProMX Championship and the FIM Women’s Oceania Motocross Cup, whilst the Moto1 Motorcycles KTM Junior Development Team looks forward to visiting Warwick on April 5th / 6th for SSMX Round 3.
