TM Racing Australia’s Daniel McCoy showed glimpses of both his and his TM MX 250

two strokes potential at the opening round of the 2014 Monster Energy MX Nationals held

at Broadford on the weekend.

With the MX2 class first out on track after a morning of persistent rain, McCoy posted a

very respectable 8th fastest time in qualifying out of the 47 entered riders in the tricky and

very muddy conditions.

When the gates dropped on moto number one, McCoy and his TM blasted through the first

turn and quickly settled in to fourth position, holding that position until the end of the

moto.

After getting tangled up in turn two in the second moto, McCoy put on a charge moving his

way from mid pack to finish the race in ninth.

Things were looking great in the third moto, with McCoy jumping out to another great

start. He held strong in 5th position, before his day come unraveled near the end of the final

moto for the day.

“The result in the first moto was a great start for the series, I finished fourth and rode

consistent during that moto. McCoy explained.

“The second moto my start was not as good as the first one, then in the second turn I got hit

from behind which in turn knocked me into Clouts bike which was already on the ground

from a crash he had.

“I made my way back from 16th at the end of lap one to 9th, that was the best I could do in

that race, which was a bit of a disappointment.

“In the third race I was sitting comfortably in fifth,” McCoy continued. “There were some

square edges going up the hill, I knew they were there, I knew how the bike was going to

react on them for some reason I got caught off guard and was thrown over the front.
