Southwick MX Wrap
Monday 30 August 2010
Photo: Matt Goerke rode amazingly in his first race back after injury, to score a 3rd overall in the Opens class. All photos by SImon Makker for Unit. For a full race report and news from the event, visit Racer X.
We were lucky enough to attend the weekends MX racing in Southwick, all of the Unit team rode solid for some great results. Unfortunately though, young Unit Motoconcepts team rider Travis Baker was hit by another rider, coming off the track with a broken foot. He will miss the last 2 rounds, but will back with plenty of time for the Supercross season.
Fellow Unit team rider, Aussie Dan Reardon has been gaining momentum after a very rocky path since A1 and a horrible crash. He managed a great 10th place overall, after 2 solid motos saw him ride more like his former self.
Another rider coming back to strength was #20 Broc Tickle. Broc crashed out and broke his collarbone a little over 3 weeks ago, and thanks to surgery, Broc was able to hit the track again for the first time in Southwick. You wouldn't know he missed a beat though, as Broc battled his way through the toughest track of the year, to post a really solid 10th overall. There is no doubt Broc will improve on this each week in the last few rounds.
Another great success for Team Motoconcepts was #55 Kyle Chisholm, who started the day as 2nd fastest qualifier and caried his momentum through to the end to walk away with a 4th overall. That gave Motoconcepts Racing the best team results in their short history. Fellow MCR rider Ryan Sipes also fought hard in the final Opens moto, to take home the Muscle Milk award, which rewards the rider with the best recovery throughout the races.
In the end the Unit MX team saw 4 top 10 overalls, and plenty of potential for future success. We would also like to wish Travis Baker the best in his recovery.
