Wilson Wins Australian Supercross Finale
I
t was a doubleheader weekend
for Supercross fans in Australia
as the fifth and final round of the
Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross
Championship wrapped up over
the November 28-29 weekend
in Adelaide, South Australia. A
little more than 1000 miles away
from the FIM WSX round that
was being simultaneously held
on the Gold Coast, the Australian
Championship concluded with
Dean Wilson claiming the overall
win for the fourth time this sea
-
son. With the win, Wilson also
wrapped up the series title in the
SX1 division.
Round five of the series saw
the Scotsman dominate, sweep-
ing both wins on Saturday night.
Wilson only lost two races out of
the 10 gate drops this season,
both of those to Jett Lawrence
at round four's AUSX Open in
Melbourne. The Quad Lock
Honda rider bounced back at the
season finale and ended the year
on top. Wilson, the 2023 Aus
-
tralian champ, lost his mother
earlier in the year and dedicated
the championship to her.
"I went [won] eight out of 10
finals; it was amazing," said
Wilson. "I am so stoked to win,
especially after everything I went
through. I don't win like I used to,
so I cherish the wins we do get."
CDR Yamaha's Aaron Tanti
earned his best result of the sea
-
son by finishing second overall,
narrowly beating out the Kawa-
saki of Luke Clout.
In the series points, French
rider Cedric Soubeyras finished
second to Wilson to make it
a Quad Lock Honda 1-2 in the
championship. Privateer KTM
rider Hayden Mellross had the
comeback story of the year and
rounded out the season in third
overall.
