Marmont continues form with second MX Nationals win in a row at Wodonga



CDR Rockstar Energy Yamaha’s
three-time Australian Motocross Champion Jay Marmont has taken a second
consecutive win in round seven of the 2011 Rockstar Energy Drink MX
Nationals series.


The 28-year-old from Wollongong in New South Wales was again
performing at his very best during the Wodonga round on Sunday, 3 July,
finishing with 1-3-7-1 finishes across the day’s four-moto
format.


Marmont proved the
man to beat from the first race of the weekend, dominating the first moto
before going on to score third in moto two after working his way through
the field.


Later that
afternoon in the final pair of back-to-back motos for the round, Marmont
had to settle for seventh in moto three after clashing with teammate Josh
Coppins in wet conditions, but managed to bounce back for a stunning win in
the final outing.


“The weekend was good for me again and I was able to come
out with a win,” Marmont reflected. “In that last race, to get
the overall, I just had the eye of the tiger and I only had one vision.


“I
didn’t care who was in front of me, I just wanted to get through
them. I got to the front and as it turned out, I got the overall. I’m
very happy with where I am right now, so I’ll try and keep this
momentum into Moree.


“The team has been working really hard together and
I’m just really happy with where we are at right now with the YZ450F,
so I have to thank them for all that effort.”


Marmont now sits fourth in the
standings, narrowing the gap from the series leader to 32 points with just
two rounds remaining.


The series will continue at Moree in New South Wales on Sunday,
24 July.
