What's the buzz about MX2 ?

I read on Facebook where Davi Fisher said; "‎14 people I counted in MX2 that have won National races."

So who has entered ?  45 riders have. So, under MNZ's new rule of a 30 start-gate (that somebody came up with sometime since last Sunday lunchtime) means 15 riders won't qualify and move to MX3.

Here is the entry list, the second number is their race number.  The first two are from Australia so they get to use an international alpha:

1. M   Daniel McCoy
2. C   Cody Mackie - question was asked in our house - "is he a good rider?"  Check out this pic off his Facebook profile.
