GYTR Yamaha’s Wilson Todd was able to extend his advantage in the MX Nationals MXD title chase this afternoon, claiming the round win at Toowoomba.

Todd won the opening moto of the round by almost eight seconds over Jesse Madden (Suzuki), who was able to beat home Jordan Hill (Yamaha) for the runner-up position.

Fourth to finish was Jayden Rykers (KTM), who rebounded from an issue out of the start gates, and Kaleb Barham (KTM) fifth.

Second of the factory-supported YZ250Fs Mitch Evans (GYTR Yamaha) crossed the line sixth, while Billy Harth (KTM), Jaiden Corrigan (Yamaha), Tyler Bullen (Yamaha) and Lochie Latimer (Yamaha) were seventh through 10th in the moto.

The second MXD moto of the weekend saw Rykers rebound for a comfortable race victory, crossing the line six seconds ahead of Todd, who in turn took the overall round victory.

Hill was also in the podium running before he posted a DNF, resulting in Madden taking another podium result, from Evans, Coxon, Parker, Tierney, Barham, Ryan Eden (Yamaha) and Corrigan.

The round podium featured Todd from Rykers and Madden, while in the standings it’s Wilson who will carry a 22-point leading into Coolum’s 10th and final round next weekend.
