Nunn takes race win at Foxhill

MVR-D Suzuki rider, Carl Nunn, climbed onto the top step of the podium once again at the weekend as the RM-Z450 rider took a great second race win at round six of the Maxxis British Motocross Championship, held at Foxhill in Wiltshire.

Qualifying third fastest, Nunn was slow to get into his stride in the first race of day, but steadily began to move through the pack before a clash with Bryan Mackenzie forced him to restart his race. A late pass on third placed rider Dougan, momentarily gave Nunn a potential podium, before Dougan came back holding it the flag to leave Nunn in fourth.

By race two, Nunn was quick from the gate, before being hit going into the first corner, forcing him restart his attack once again. However, this time Nunn would come back even stronger, catching leader Anderson to take the lead with less than two laps to go, holding it to the flag to take another great win and setting the fastest lap of the race by over two seconds.

Carl Nunn: "Naturally I'm over the moon with another win, but slightly disappointed by my first race. A podium would have been great in the first race, but Dougan was strong in the final lap and I had to settle for fourth. The positive news is that we're sitting third in the series standings with just two rounds to go and I can't wait to get back out on the bike in Scotland."

In MX2 Mattis Karro had a weekend to forget. Qualifying well in fifth spot, the young Latvian retired from the first race while sitting in sixth spot after a bad landing damaged his RM-Z250. Karro's determination to put it behind him in race two was short lived, after a heavy crash on the second lap forced him to retire again.

Mattis Karro: "Foxhill is certainly a round for me to forget. The crash in the second race was a big one, and I beat myself up quite a bit. Thankfully it was nothing too serious and I'll be fine for the next round of the World Championship at Lommel this weekend."

Team manager, Mark Chamberlain: Big congratulations to Carl once again. He rode extremely well in both races, but was just a little unlucky in the first race. In the second, he rode fantastically and showed what he and the RM-Z450 are really capable of. Mattis on the other hand had one of those weekends that we all get from time to time. Thankfully that big crash doesn't seem to have caused any major issues, allowing him to look forward to Lommel this weekend."
