Woods MX Snapes Logistics Race Team rider Lewis Woods and SD3 Husqvarna’s Luke Aron have extended their leads in their respective classes in the 2014 South Cup at the Monster Energy MX Nationals.

Woods earned 32 out of a possible 35 points at the Murray Bridge round of the championship, to extend his lead in the Motul MX1 class.

The win has Woods on 102 points in the overall standings, now eight points clear of his nearest rival Matt Ginders (Suzuki), who is a further 31 points ahead of third placed rider James Booth-Elliott (Suzuki). Booth-Elliott topped the SA round.

In the Pirelli MX2 class, Arbon took maximum points in the South Cup after finishing the event in first place outright.

Only 20 points separates the top four riders in the class, with Joel Milesevic (TM) and Riley Graham (KTM) coming second and third at Murray Bridge, placing them second and third respectively in the overall points.

Only one more round of the series will contribute points to the South Cup, and that is at round six to be held at Swan Hill on 28 June.
