GOOSEN'S DOUBLE WIN AT HOLESHOT HARRY'S

Sep 202016

An on-form David Goosen dominated stop number six on the Monster Energy TRP Distributers SAMX Championships by winning both the MX1 and MX2 divisions. The KZN rider blazed his way through both divisions, beating Anthony Raynard and Sacha Naude into second and third in the MX1 division, and Joshua Mlimi and Anthony Raynard into the same minor positions in the MX2 division.


Goosen has been on a roll of late, after having an excellent ride at Thunder Valley last month for stop 5 of the SAMX Championships. He also competed in both divisions at Maritzburg and banked a 3rd place in MX1 and a win in MX2 in that event. Currently in 5th position on the MX1 ratings and 12th on the MX2 leaderboard, this double-header at Holeshot Harry's will see him climb nicely on both boards.

"I had some tough competition as always! The pace was super strong and there has been a great bunch of riders at the top this year. I must say, all 4 races were tough! Although my second moto in MX2 was the standout for me. I managed to get the holeshot and led every lap. It's always a good feeling staying clean. "

"It's a great feeling taking the win in both classes, however the bar has just been raised for the next stop and I'm hoping to reach that bar once again. My confidence has definitely had a boost from this weekends result so I'll be going into the final round in a good space. Of course the main goal is to have fun and most of the time the rest will follow. My team, Tinstwalo Out of Africa Yamaha always give me the support and tools for the job at every race!"

Tristan Purdon found the cold and wet racing conditions tough this time round, but that didn't stop him from getting his roost on. He landed two 5th's for a 5th place finish overall.

"Not what I was looking for but thanks to everyone who is behind me, I'll be coming back with a vengeance for the last round!"
