PJ Larsen Wins Australian MX Round 5

Raymond
Terrace, NSW – JDR Motorsports/Motorex/KTM rider PJ Larsen swept
all three motos at the fifth round of the Australian Motocross Series
to take the overall win and increase his points lead.

With
heavy rains the week prior to the race, all participants thought they
would have a mud race on their hands. Although, the track had some
rough mud sections the track was in better condition than expected.

Larsen
practiced early in the day and was able to get his lines dialed in.
He started ticking off fast lap times and would eventually qualify
first into the main event with a 0.4 second faster lap time than the
next fastest qualifier.

Larsen
started on the outside of the gate for moto one to avoid some of the
mud that was in the middle of the start straight. Larsen garnered a
5^th
place start and patiently made his passes, careful not to push too
hard and slide out in the mud. Soon Larsen found himself in the lead
position right around the halfway mark. He continued to pull a
sizable lead and settled into a good pace to take the first moto win.

In the
second moto he lined up one gate inside of where he started in the
first moto and pulled another good start. Larsen was again in 5^th
place around the first corner and used the same game plan to get
around the lead riders. Once out front, he again pulled a good lead
and another moto win for the day.

The
third moto was his best start of the day as he came around the first
turn in 2^nd
position behind his teammate Ryan Marmont. By the second turn, Larsen
had moved into the lead. He sprinted right away and settled into a
good pace at front to win the final moto of the day and walk away
with a perfect score and an overall victory. Larsen is 1^st
in the point standings with a 55 point lead.
