Monster Energy MX Nationals rider Jed Beaton is looking forward to heading back to familiar territory when round three of the 2014 Monster Energy MX Nationals makes its way to Wonthaggi this Sunday.

Born in Tasmania, Beaton moved to Wonthaggi when he was 12 years old and has spent the last five years riding at the local club.

While he moved to Churchill three months ago, Beaton is very much looking forward to returning to his ‘home club’ when round three makes its way back to Victoria.

“I can’t wait – it should be great,” Beaton said. “There will be a few of my mates there so to have the local support and get a few people there to cheer me on will be great.

“I hope the track is in good condition, and it will be great to be back riding on the track. I used to ride every practice day at the club and be part of every event there so there definitely will be an advantage for me.”

Beaton dominated the opening round of the Series taking outright honours at Broadford on 30 March.
