In one of the deepest MX2 fields in recent years, Complete Parts Kawasaki Racing team’s Aaron Tanti has caught a heavy field by surprise, storming to an overall victory, closely followed by Serco Yamaha’s newest signing, Nathan Crawford.
In the opening moto Harwood took over the early lead, but was reeled in by Crawford midway through. Tanti, who claimed the hole-shot but fell soon afterwards, rode strong to third, ahead of a hard-charging Richie Evans (Yamalube Yamaha Racing) and defending champion Egan Mastin (KTM Motocross Racing Team).
In the second race Tanti grabbed another strong start and was never headed, while Kyle Webster (Penrite Pirelli CRF Honda Racing) and Wilson Todd (Serco Yamaha) rounded out the top three. Crawford and Harwood finished fourth and fifth respectively.
