Hurley Claims 2nd In Mackay -ozzy go- SuzukiMotorcycle.com.au

Team Shift Motul Suzuki’s Daryl Hurley claimed second place in
round seven of 2007 Australian Motocross Championship at Gum
Valley near Mackay (QLD), this weekend.

Battling a severe head cold, Hurley delivered superb
performances under difficult circumstances, making the holeshot
in race one before being passed by series leader, Daniel Reardon
in the early stages of the moto.

With fellow Suzuki rider, Troy Carroll hot on his heels in third
place, Hurley eventually managed to pull a gap and wrapped up
the first 30-minute moto in second spot with an 8.049s advantage
over Carroll.

The 31-year-old dug deep in moto two, launching into second
place out of the start gates, Hurley passed Jay Marmont to
assume the lead on lap one. Further shuffling of positions saw
Reardon take the lead ahead of Marmont with Hurley in third
as the trio completed the opening lap. Exhausted, Hurley came
under supreme pressure as race two wore on and was forced
to use all his resources to hold on to third place, securing
second overall for the round.

Carroll piloted his Suzuki RM-Z450 to fourth overall at Gum
Valley.

Again stepping up from the U19 Australian Motocross
Championship category to represent Team Shift Motul Suzuki,
Lawson Bopping’s fortunes were less favourable in the Pro Lites
class. Qualifying second fastest, Bopping again proved his
outstanding raw speed on the RM-Z250... click on ozzy go to the full story
