Gillard keen for more.

 

 

Motocrosser Blake Gillard has only tried Supermoto the once. That was in the recent 2 hour meeting at Taupo where he teamed up with (fellow) KTM hotshot (Stephen Briggs) on a stock KTM525 and managed a fine third place overall.

That KTM525 was the same bike that we here at SMNZ raced at Cemetery Circuit this summer. The bikes only change from absolute stock was a SX exhaust, moto front brake and a set of 17 inch wheels.

Gillard said " I felt we were down a bit on power compared to a few of the bikes there but am more than happy with how I went." The Auckland motocrosser was rumoured to be within 1 second a lap of Husaberg mounted Paul Brown who won the event.

"I'm keen to do the three round national championship that starts at the end of the month" Gillard went on to say. " I think KTM might be gettting the 525 set up on some proper Supermoto suspension which would be great"

Blake Gillard talking to SMNZ at the Ardmore MX track recently.
