After a tough start to the championship season for MVR-D Suzuki rider Matiss Karro, the Latvian rider has notched up a number of strong rides to move back up the standings.

At the Scottish Duns track, the racer recently rode to sixth, second and fourth place in each of the races, moving from tenth to sixth in the series and just four points short of fourth place.

Karro commented that he was pleased with the results: "While I'd prefer to be challenging for the podium in every race, I'm happy because I felt comfortable with the pace again."

Team manager Mark Chamberlain said the young rider has "looked like his old self" during the event.

"He's moved himself right back up the championship standings and given himself a great launch pad for the remainder of the season," Mr Chamberlain added.

Meanwhile, teammate Carl Nunn struggled in the MX1 class achieving positions outside the top ten, but said he thinks his performance will be stronger during the next round.

Last month, Nunn had a challenging time at Landrake in Cornwall at the Red Bull Pro Nationals but managed to climb back up the leaderboard by the end of the event.
