Todd Waters and Regan Duffy inside MX1 top 10 at halfway point of the series
Former national champion Waters was able to improve from a mid-pack start to finish eighth in the opening Moto, then recovered well from an early fall in the second race.
Onboard the Husqvarna FC 450, he charged from near the back of the field to work his way up to seventh and finish the round in P7 overall. As the season hits the halfway mark, Waters currently sits in ninth overall.
“It was a good weekend, but I’m a bit disappointed because I could’ve got some good results if I’d stayed upright," commented Waters. "The first Moto, I got a bad start, and as I was coming through the pack, I hit neutral in a corner and fell over. The second Moto, I came out of the first turn in the top-five and was feeling good. Unfortunately, I crashed into another rider and was on the ground again. I picked it up and rode well to finish seventh. Result-wise, it wasn’t what I wanted, but my riding wasn’t bad – I came through the pack well and made good passes and rode strong the whole Moto.”
Meanwhile, Duffy’s two races got off to a strong start with his Husqvarna FC 450. After rounding the first turn inside the top-five, Duffy came home in ninth place. Despite working his way from outside the top 20 in Moto 2, he earned another P9 finish, which was enough to earn eighth overall, and retain 10th in the MX1 standings.
“There were some good signs for us out there today," reflected Duffy. "Crashing early in the second moto was frustrating, but I’m happy with how I was able to bounce back, especially with how gnarly the track was at the end of the day. I feel we’re making progress little by little, and I’m excited to head into the second half of the championship.”
Recent MX2 recruit Jack Kukas ended a challenging day in 17th overall, with the young Queenslander finishing with an 18-14 scorecard to pick up 10 points onboard his Husqvarna FC 250.
“It was a pretty tough day for me," commented Kukas. "The track changed constantly, so it was a matter of always trying to adapt and find new lines during the races. I’m looking forward to the next round at Warwick now.”
The fifth round of the 2025 Australian ProMX Championship will be held at Warwick, Queensland, on 22 June.
