METCALFE WINS IN AUSTRALIA
B
rett Metcalfe captured the
overall win in round four of
the 2018 Australian Supercross
Championship in Port Adelaide,
Australia, October 20.
In the three-race format, Luke
Clout was the first across the
finish line but was penalized four
positions for passing under the
caution flag. This ended up giv-
ing points leader Justin Brayton
(Honda) the win, followed by
Jace Owen, Dan Reardon, Clout
and Metcalfe.
Metcalfe came back with a
vengeance and won the next
two races, giving him the overall
victory and putting an end to
Brayton's three-race win streak.
Brayton fell in the second race
and took third in the final race.
He still managed to take second
overall by one point over Owen.
Dylan Long and Reardon
rounded out the top five overall.
Brayton is still atop the cham-
pionship leaderboard but by only
six points over Metcalfe with one
round—the AUS-X Open in Syd-
ney—left to go. Owen is third in
the champion. He trails Metcalfe
by 19 points.
In the SX2 class, Jay Wilson
leads the championship with
88 points, followed by Hayden
Mellross with 77, Wilson Todd
and Jacob Hayes both with 75
points. Dakota Alix is sixth with
61 points. CN
