A solid points haul at Round 3 of the 2011 MX Nationals at Raymond Terrace today has seen Carlton Dry Honda Thor Racing's Cheyne Boyd and Michael Phillips move up the Pro Open Championship order.

Boyd was fifth overall for the round and now sits fourth in championship and just nine points behind former teammate Jay Marmont.

Teammate Michael Phillips finished the day seventh overall and is tied with Ryan Marmont on 163points for seventh spot on the ladder.

While Boyd had a consistent day, finishing the four fifteen-minute Pro Open moto's - sixth, fifth, fourth and fourth, he said his starts were still letting him down.

"I had a better day today but I still wasn't feeling 100 per cent," Boyd said.

"My starts were shocking. Each race I had to come through, I really don't know why I am having so much trouble. On the plus side I was consistent, I came through the first corner and moved forward through each race.

"For me, the priority right now is to get on top of my energy. It is time to reset. I want to be winning more than anything and I have the motivation I just need to hone my energy," Boyd explained.

Teammate Michael Phillips had a tumultuous day but never gave up. He endured a clutch problem on the start for Race 1 and fought back from first turn incidents in Motos 2 & 3.

Finishing ninth, 11th and 13th in the first three races Phillips regrouped and gave his best performance in the last race of the day where he enjoyed a clean start and finished third.
