Raceline Pirelli KTM press release:

Fresh off collecting their first round win in the Pirelli MXD class at Round 6, Raceline Pirelli KTM are heading to Conondale in Queensland for Round 7 of the 2016 Motul MX Nationals with both Dylan Wills and Wade Kirkland optimistic of positive results.

With the track at Conondale famous for it’s fast natural terrain, steep hills, and grassy surface, MX2 pilot Wills and MXD rider Kirkland, have been putting in hard work throughout the last two weeks, in the hope to keep their momentum rolling.

Kirkland, who snatched up his first ever round victory for his senior racing career at Nowra, says that he’s looking forward to heading to Conondale for the first time this Sunday, at that he’d love to repeat his performance from two weeks ago.

“I’m really excited about heading to Conondale this weekend. I’ve never raced there before but I’ve heard lots about it, so it should be good,” Kirkland said.

“After taking my first round win at Nowra, the plan now is to just keep focussed every weekend and do the best I can every time I get on the bike.

“I’m still learning a lot, and many of the tracks we go to it’s the first time for me, so hopefully this weekend I can learn the layout quickly and hopefully get another good result for the team.”

Wills, who has had some experience at the iconic Green Park venue, say’s he’s had a solid week preparing for Round 7, and that additional testing with the team has been beneficial.

“I’ve had a pretty productive two weeks since Nowra, I had the chance to try a couple of new fork and shock settings with the team, so it was good to develop the bike a bit more again,” Wills shared.

“I also got the chance to do a bit of riding with Chad Reed while he is over here out at Craig Anderson’s place which was pretty cool!

“I’m looking forward to the weekend, the track is fast and we have fast bikes so I’m excited to get out there, I haven’t been to Connondale since 2012 so it should be fun.”

Raceline Pirelli KTM, will now head to round seven of the 2016 MX Nationals at Conondale in Queensland, being held this Sunday July 17.
