Team 2009 Tri-Sate Opener Race Report
Swan Hill MX - March 8, 2009
Australia (3/14/2009) - The 2009
Tri State opener was held in Swan Hill MX complex
on Sunday the 8th of March. With newrace teams and
a host of riders receiving support from the industry,
ATV racing is finally beingnoticed.
The Can Am X Team was in full force fielding
11 riders representing just about every ATV class;
theywere surely noticed as the best setup team
Australian ATV racing has seen.
Team MXN Can Am rider Mick Roycroft, flew in
from Newcastle to contest the production class
on astock 2009 DS 450X MX. Mick had not ridden
a production 2009 model of the DS 450 until race
day,and with no time on the bike and no time to
even remove the reflectors this bike was truly
stock.
Moto 1 was Micks chance to get a feel for the
machine and hopefully get it down pat before the
firstturn, the gate dropped and Mick was still
putting on his goggles to get ready for the race.
Not a greatstart to the season or debut for the
bike, but he did manage to slowly catch up to
another X teammember Miles Dillon and pass him.
Dillon crashed out on the whoops and Roycroft
descended on 2ndplace where he missed out by a
few seconds to end up taking 3rd.
The second moto was now his chance to make a
comeback in the class where he won the Aussie
titlein October last year. Up against Australia’s
fasted ATV rider Chris Brenton on his 450 KTM,
this wasgoing to be a challenge and a half. Once
the gates dropped Mick pinned his ears back to
take the holeshot with 1x 450 and 1 x 505 KTM
close on his heels. With little setup and time
on the machineMick struggled a little to keep
his pace and finished 3rd only 2 seconds behind
young gun RyanNoyes.
The third moto was now looking better than ever
for Mick to make a comeback, with somem suspension
changes and tyre pressure adjustments, the gates
dropped with Mick taking his secondmholeshot of
the day, Mick led the entire race without being
touched by any of the other riders tomtake a win.
