“We are already in the processes of planning
next year’s Rise of the Queens event.”
Meanwhile, Rotorua Husqvarna rider Bradley
Lauder claimed the top spot in AA grade
(formerly known as the expert grade) at
Masterton on Saturday, becoming the fifth
different winner in as many races this season.
Helensville’s Tom Buxton (KTM 350EXC-F) won
round one of the series near Whangamata
in March, Cambridge rider Dylan Yearbury
(Husqvarna FE250) clinched the win at round two
near Porirua in April, Thames rider Chris Birch
(KTM 300EXC) topped the podium at round three
near Tokoroa two weeks later and Whanganui’s
Seth Reardon (Yamaha YZ250FX) won round four
near Martinborough three weeks ago.
Reardon finished runner-up to Lauder at
Masterton on Saturday, with Wainuiomata’s
Jake Whitaker (KTM 350EXC-F) finishing third,
and Reardon leads the AA grade championship
standings.
The double-header final weekend of the enduro
nationals, rounds six and seven of the series, are
set for Hokitika on July 19 and 20.
