This two man team from New Zealand had a stellar performance at the second round of the CMRC Canadian Motocross Nationals in Nanaimo. Mason Phillips and Kieran Leigh thoroughly enjoyed the Nanaimo track and weather this weekend.
With a great first moto under his belt, Mason went to work in moto 2 charging hard to give him 4th overall for the weekend. The tight and technical track came as a huge advantage for Mason and his KTM 350 SX-F as well as all of his pre season training, which combined with the mild weather, launched Mason into his riding groove. “Nanaimo was a big confidence booster for me. My KTM 350 SX-F was working amazing and I'm looking forward to making more points back this weekend in Calgary” explains Mason after the races. His fill-in mechanic, Ryan Lockhart, did a great job prepping the 350 and ensuring Mason had everything he needed all weekend.
Kieran, in his second race in Canada, made his Dunlop tires hook up to bring his KTM 250 SX-F to the 9th overall position this weekend. “I worked hard for both finishes at Nanaimo. I'm getting more comfortable with racing over here and excited to race Calgary this weekend. I've heard it's one of the best tracks” said with a huge confident smile. With the help of Rob Munro from Valley Speed Performance to guarantee that his KTM 250 SX-F was in tip top shape all weekend Keiran finished round 2 with a solid ride and consistency which will be the key to the young rider’s success for the remainder of the series. Rob will also be on hand for both riders in Calgary, so look out for some spectacularly prepped bikes and both riders eager to build on their wicked start to 2011.
