Team Motul Suzuki duo Matt Moss and Lawson Bopping will look to
resume their stellar form this weekend when the 2014 Australian
Supercross Championship continues at Phillip Island in
Victoria.
Staged alongside the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix annually,
rounds three and four of the national Supercross season will be
contested on 18-19 October in one of the sport's biggest events of
the season during the MotoGP weekend.
Defending champion Moss is coming off a clean-sweep at last
weekend's Bathurst double-header, leading the championship into
Phillip Island on board the 2015 model Suzuki RM-Z450 and had his
first taste of the circuit during press day this afternoon.
"The track looks really good, everything is taking shape for
tomorrow and this is always a big weekend for us at the MotoGP,"
Moss explained. "I'm feeling strong on the 2015 RM-Z450 and last
weekend at Bathurst went exactly to plan. But now we have to stay
focused, there are three rounds remaining and every one of them
will be important for us at this stage."
Bopping, who made his return to the team at Bathurst, enters
this weekend third in the standings after a spectacular debut 4-3
scorecard one week ago. He's since made further progress with Team
Motul Suzuki and hopes to continue with further podium performances
as the season progresses.
"Phillip Island is typically a tight track, but a round that
attracts massive amounts of attention and we're pumped to race
here," Bopping said. "I was happy to get that podium at Bathurst
and now the plan is to build from there, because I have the team
behind me and am loving the 2015 RM-Z450, so it's been a great
start to the season for us."
Rounds three and four of the 2014 Australian Supercross
Championship will be held alongside the Australian Motorcycle Grand
Prix at Bathurst on 18-19 October.
