Honda Racing’s Joey Savatgy has broken through to claim the SX1 overall victory in Redcliffe’s second round of the 2024 Fox Australian Supercross Championship.
The opening final was a thrilling affair that saw Savatgy involved in a battle alongside Luke Clout (Empire Kawasaki) and night one winner Dean Wilson (Honda Racing). Clout initially led the field before Wilson made his move, however a mistake by the reigning champion in the opening laps saw him relinquish the lead.
Clout regained control while under pressure from Savatgy – the duo battling it out as Wilson reentered the fight for the lead. It came down to the final lap, but it was Clout who prevailed ahead of Savatgy and Wilson.
CDR Yamaha Monster Energy duo Matt Moss and Jed Beaton completed the top five ahead of Aaron Tanti (Honda Racing), Hayden Mellross (KTM), Dylan Wills (GasGas Racing Team), Jack Mather (Raceline Husqvarna Tdub Racing), and Luke Zielinski (Yamaha).
The second final was a relatively uneventful encounter, with Clout initially leading before Savatgy made his move, going onto secure victory by 2.706s over Wilson, as Clout settled for third position.
Beaton and Wills were fourth and fifth respectively, followed by Brett Metcalfe (Penrite GO24), Mellross, Tanti, Joel Wightman (Yamaha), and Zielinski. Overall, it was Savatgy from Clout and Wilson – the defending champion holding a one-point lead in the championship standings.
Wollongong will host round three of the Australian Supercross Championship, scheduled for 2 November in New South Wales.
