CDR/Nokia/Yamaha’s Matt Moss has broken through for his firstever round win as a premier class rider in difficult conditions at
Toowoomba’s Echo Valley today.
The teenage sensation, who 7 days ago was laying in a hospital
bed following a horrific crash, bounced back and blasted his way
to the front in a comprehensive display of riding.
Confusion surrounding the 30-second board at the start of the race
saw Moss start on the back foot, unprepared as the gates dropped.
He still managed to find his way into 5th in the opening turn, but
would later fall from the bike and re-join the field in 10th.
He struggled initially, but began to find his rhythm and slowly started
to pick off the riders in front one by one.
By race end, Moss had rebounded back to 3rd position, an amazing
feat, and just the start of a great weekend to come.
Some minor shock adjustments had him primed for moto 2, and he
took off in tow of the leaders. Despite stalling and losing around
300metres on the leader during the race, he forged on and blazed
past Daryl Hurley on the penultimate lap to take an ecstatic and
deserved win.
“This has been a long time coming,” said an elated Moss. “Craig Dack
and the team have put everything behind me and I am so pleased
to repay their faith win a win.” “This has been a long time coming,”
