Venue: Sharks Stadium, Cronulla, NSW
The third round of the Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship unfolded Saturday night at Sharks Stadium, showcasing continued dominance from Quad Lock Honda’s Dean Wilson. Following an emotionally charged double-header in Moreton Bay, where Wilson claimed victory shortly after the passing of his mother, he maintained his unbeaten streak in a race filled with drama.
Race Summary:
In the first heat of the SX1 class, Wilson faced a challenging start. Entering a bowl turn on lap one, he collided with race leader Dylan Walsh, resulting in a crash that left him at the back of the pack. Demonstrating tenacity, Wilson recovered to finish third, while his teammate Cedric Soubeyras secured the heat win. The second heat was led by Luke Clout of Empire Kawasaki, who demonstrated strong form, topping the qualifying times.
The first main event saw Wilson surge to an early lead, ultimately securing victory. Clout trailed closely but could not close the gap. CDR Yamaha’s Phil Nicoletti held a solid third for most of the race; however, a post-finish line incident with teammate Aaron Tanti resulted in Tanti exiting the event prematurely. Nicoletti’s performance waned in the latter stages, allowing both Mitchell Harrison and Soubeyras to overtake him, finishing fifth and fourth, respectively.
