Dunlop-supported athletes have proved they will be a force to be reckoned with in 2015, owning the entire MX1 podium at Horsham over the weekend.

KTM Factory Racing’s Kirk Gibbs took a clean sweep for the team and Dunlop – winning both motos and kicking off his season in spectacular fashion.

For Gibbs, the win was a testament to his support network – paying credit to his team, and the reliability of his Dunlop tyres.

“It feels good, I was only one point off being perfect for the day,” he said

“I got a good start and put myself in good positions to lead some laps and ride my own lines, which was nice.

“I was really comfortable with the track and everything and my bike was awesome.

“The predictability of my Dunlops gave me the confidence to push them right to the limit. The more I rode on them the more comfortable I felt, so I’m really happy.”

To top off Gibbs’ win, second place was owned by Dunlop athlete Kade Mosig (CDR Yamaha), and third place was claimed by fellow Dunlop supported rider Luke Styke (KTM Factory Racing).

Dunlop’s National Sales Manager Sabastian Mincone, shared his excitement when speaking of the weekend’s results.

“These are excellent results for Dunlop tyres,” he said.

“This just proves that our Geomax range tyres offer race winning performance at every level and in every condition.

“My congratulations to Kirk, Kade and Luke for their fantastic results. What a way to start the season.”
