RACE FLAGS & BOARDS

victory for the day, while Minear secured his first Maxxis MX3 Championship title with a 3rd overall finish. The Maxxis MX3 overall podium saw Flynn in 1st, Minear in 2nd, and Gilmore in 3rd. The Maxxis MX3 Championship standings saw Minear in 1st, Ryan Alexanderson in 2nd, and Jack Mather in 3rd.

The final round of the 2022 ProMX in the EZILIFT MXW class at Coolum, Qld saw Charli Cannon of Yamalube Yamaha emerge as the dominant force, facing off against the returning Taylah McCutcheon from injury on the HRC Honda Racing Australia machine. In the first Moto, McCutcheon grabbed the holeshot, but Cannon quickly fought her way through traffic to reach 2nd place by the end of lap two. The lead duo battled until lap five when Cannon’s speed and fitness eventually overpowered McCutcheon, resulting in a comfortable win for Cannon. Emma Milesevic claimed 3rd place in a return from injury, with Megan Rutledge in 4th and Maddy Brown in 5th.

For the 2023 season, Minear will likely be a favourite to defend his championship title, given his impressive performance in the previous season. The competition is expected to be intense with other incoming and second season riders looking to dethrone Minear and claim the championship for themselves.

In the second Moto, Cannon was determined to end the season on a high note and took control of the race after a brief challenge from McCutcheon. Cannon opened up a substantial lead to claim the final Moto win of the season, with McCutcheon finishing 2nd and Maddy Brown in 3rd.

Charli Cannon took the EZILIFT MXW championship title with a 1-1 Moto score and was crowned the overall winner of the day. Emma Milesevic finished 2nd in the championship standings, followed by Maddy Brown in 3rd.

Looking ahead to the 2023 season, the EZILIFT MXW class promises to be exciting, with the return of several strong competitors from injury and the possibility of new talent emerging. Charli Cannon will be a force to be reckoned with- though the number of rounds she will contend remains unknown- and the battle for the championship title will be highly competitive.
