Moss’ twin brother Jake took his National Pump Monster Energy Kawasaki bike to back-to-back second placings to finish second outright on the day.

And completing the mirror of results from moto one to moto two, KTM Motocross Race Team rider Kirk Gibbs finished both races in third position.

The format for round two changed to the two-moto format (30 minutes + 1 lap per moto) meaning standings in each race carried significant importance in contributing to the outright results.

In the opening MX1 race, reigning champion Moss again proved that he is the rider to beat in 2014, charging straight to the holeshot and dominating from start to finish.

Moss was never threatened taking all 35 points on offer in the race - finishing nearly 8 seconds clear of his brother Jake in second.

Jake was impressive in the early stages of the race as he initially challenged for the lead, before doing enough to finish ahead of Gibbs in third, and Billy Mackenzie (CDR Yamaha) in fourth.

The second moto of the day nearly saw chaos at the first turn as Matt Moss had a case of the shakes and made contact with Jake.

He managed to regain his composure and stay upright, but not before Honda rider Alex Snow could sneak through to take the holeshot.

His lead lasted less than two corners before Matt Moss, followed by Jake, passed and took control of the race, and the pair spent the next 30 minutes riding as though they were having fun in their backyard.

In the overall championship standings, Matt Moss already has a huge buffer with 173 points – 20 points clear of Gibbs with Monea a further 13 behind.

Matt Moss said “I am looking forward to the next couple of rounds.  Jake will be looking to beat me, and I am looking forward to that sort of challenge.  I’d be happy for him to beat me as long as we are battling and if this is anything to show this weekend it’s going to be a good season.”
