Wilson Coolair Motul Factory Suzuki returning to two rider line up for Broadford

Wilson’s Coolair Motul Factory Suzuki press release:

With only days remaining until the next instalment of the Motul MX Nationals, Wilson Coolair Motul Factory Suzuki’s Todd Waters and Luke Wilson are preparing to head to the iconic State Motorcycle Complex in Broadford for round three of the championship this weekend.

With the Factory Suzuki backed team returning to a two rider line up for racing this Sunday, both Waters and Wilson are in good spirits, and the pair are looking forward to adding to the rich history that Broadford is well known for this weekend.

Waters, who achieved his first podium finish in the Thor MX1 class at Appin two weeks ago, is feeling relaxed ahead of round three, and shared that the priority is putting in consistent rides aboard his Suzuki machine.

“We got a podium at Appin which we were happy with, and since then we’ve continued to work on the bike and the setup throughout the break, and we’ve got me feeling even more comfortable,” he said.

“I last raced at Broadford in 2013, and I have to say it’s not my favourite track, but if we get a bit of rain, and it’s prepped right it should form up to be rutty and get some pretty cool lines out there.

“For me I want to keep consistent for these first few rounds, and then we obviously have a couple of sand races coming up which I’m really excited about, but by the second half of the season, the goal is to be in contention for the championship, so we’re working towards that.”

Wilson, who has absent from round two of the Motul MX Nationals after sustaining an injury at round one, will make his return to racing at the State Motorcycle Complex at Broadford this weekend.

“I can’t wait for this weekend; I am very happy to be able to swing my leg back over the bike at Broadford for round three,” Wilson shared.

“After to a visit to the specialist for an MRI, I was told there was nothing majorly wrong, so jumped back on the bike last Sunday, and my back actually felt a lot better after the ride! It loosened me up a lot, and since then I’ve had some of the best rides I’ve had all year.

“I am really looking forward to going to Broadford this year, I was going into last year dreading it, but ended up getting one of my best results, so it will be good to get back there – I have to say, these days Broadford is counted as one of my favourite tracks!”

The Wilson Coolair Motul Factory Suzuki race team will now head to Round 3 of the Motul MX Nationals at the State Motorcycle Complex in Broadford, Victoria this Sunday May 1.
