JDR Motorex KTM team manager Danny Ham is certain that testing carried out by the team in the lead-up to the Wodonga MX Nationals round will come as a huge boost to lone Pro Open contender Dan Reardon on Sunday.

Reardon debuted KTM’s 450 SX-F at round six of the series in Coonabarabran a fortnight ago with little preparation after riding the 350 SX-F in the early rounds, and Ham is confident we could witness the Queenslander’s best form of the year.

“The team has been testing with Dan this week and everything has been going to plan,” Ham explained. “Dan has been happy with the settings we have worked on and we are confident that we will be able to continue making progress with a good result this weekend.”

Reardon will remain the team’s lone Pro Open class rider, with teammate Ryan Marmont still out with an ankle injury.

Reardon sits 11th in the series, winning a single moto at Raymond Terrace earlier this year.

The team also leads the Pro Lites title chase with Matt Moss, while Brenden Harrison and Josh Cachia are in positions four and six respectively.
