Back on Australian soil, the Unit team hit the 2nd round of the Monster Energy MX Nationals for 2012.

Unit x Monster Kawasaki rider Kade Mosig secured 3rd place in the Pro Lites class despite getting caught up in the start gates in the third and final moto. Mosig raced to 2-5-6 results in his first podium for Kawasaki.

His team mate and defending four-time champion Jay Marmont proved he’s already gaining momentum and shrugging off a pre-season knee injury, scoring a 4th place overall, and just 2 points shy of 2nd place. This result now puts Jay in a solid 3rd place in the series.

We are stoked to announce that Unit's newest team rider Josh Grant has just had the ride of his life to stomp 2nd place at the New Orleans round of the AMA Supercross, right behind 2012 series champion Ryan Villopoto.

Grant is fresh off injury, and after a few hard years, team changes and the birth of his son, Grant has a fresh outlook on racing, and a new motivation to succeed. We would like to congratulate Josh, his family and team on the result, and hope there is many more to come!

In other Unit team news from New Orleans, up and coming privateer Austin Politelli scored his best result ever with a 9th place in the main event, and Kyle Chisholm also scored one of his best results for 2012 with an 8th place overall.
