Scott , Tauranga ’ s Madoc Dixon and Clevedon ’ s Cobie Bourke completing the top five .
HARWOOD UNSTOPPABLE IN 125 Also a dual class superman , Harwood was unstoppable in his charge for 125cc class glory this year and , like Cooper , he clinched the title with a race to spare and so he too sat out his final 125cc race of the series so that he could conserve his strength for the last MX1 class race . Runner-up to Harwood in the 125cc class this season was Taupo ’ s Cody Griffiths , with Kerikeri ’ s Logan Denize , Dairy Flats rider Cole Davies and
Bombay ’ s Reuben Smith rounding out the top five .
UNDER 19s The race-within-a-race in the MX2 class for under-19 honours was won by Dixon , with Bourke and New Plymouth ’ s Rian King completing the podium here , followed by Te Puke ’ s Flynn Watts and Pukekawa ’ s Tyler Brown . The motocross nationals did not go ahead at all last season because of restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic , adding further significance to this year ’ s contest .
