Husqvarna Racing Team’s defending national MX1 champion Todd Waters has kept himself well and truly in the hunt after a hard-fought podium at round three of the 2021 ProMX Championship at Maitland, NSW, on Sunday.

Waters registered the third-fastest lap-time in qualifying and finished the day in third overall during a round that saw mixed-format racing in the premier class.

In the opening moto, Waters enjoyed a strong top five start and fended off a spirited attack from several MX1 rivals as he kept focused forward, making a valuable pass for third as the laps wound down.

Maitland saw the new back-to-back moto format for the second and third races of the day. Waters' 5-6 results from the two back-to-back races saw him register a fourth place combined moto result when the Olympic scoring was taken into account, enough for him to stand on the podium overall.

Number one plate-holder Waters is now just six points outside of the points-lead as the ProMX Championship heads to Wodonga, VIC, on 25 July.

Todd Waters: "We're stoked to be back up on the podium here in Maitland, the points were good and it was a hard day of racing with everyone up there at the front. Finishing third in that opening moto was my best result of the day and then we were battling for every position in those back-to-back sprints to end the day, so the end result there was fourth. Like I said, podiums are always good, we definitely want to win one here soon and we're still right there in the championship."
