Kade Mosig ready to fight for 2012 MX Nats Lite title

Having put a couple of injury plagued years behind him, Mosig is now looking forward to achieving some of his goals in 2012 and will be one of the riders to beat in Australian Lites racing. Kade's fast and flowing style combined with his ability to consistently start well should serve him well in the MX2 class in 2012.

Mosig says, "I feel fit and prepared. My KX250F is running perfectly. I just can't wait to get out there and race this weekend."

Monster Energy Kawasaki's MX1 and MX2 riders will be joined at the first round by the new Axis Motorsports Kawasaki Race Team. Representing Kawasaki in the Under 19's class, team riders Ben George (brother of 2008 Kawasaki Lites MX Champion Luke George) and Mitch Norris will compete for podium positions on board Kawasaki KX250F motorcycles.

Current Australian Women's MX Champion, Meghan Rutledge, will also compete at the 2012 Monster Energy MX Nationals as the only female entrant on board her Kawasaki Australia prepared KX250F in the MXD (Under 19's) class.

"We're really excited to race this weekend," Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Manager Troy Carroll said ahead of the season opener at Conondale in Queensland. "I'd like to give a big thank you to all the mechanics, riders and Monster Energy Kawasaki staff for all their efforts so far. I'm really excited to be back at the track again this weekend."

Monster Energy Kawasaki, Axis Motorsports Kawasaki, Meghan Rutledge and an army of Kawasaki-mounted privateers look forward with anticipation to the first round of the 2012 Monster Energy MX Nationals at Conondale this Sunday, April 1st.
