2014 ASX: Round 5 Brisbane Results

Team Motul Suzuki’s Matt Moss created history at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre over the weekend, becoming the first rider to take a clean sweep of the Australian Supercross Championship’s SX1 class.

Moss won all five rounds of the series, securing back-to-back supercross titles and his fourth consecutive Australian title. Despite securing the championship by just making the 20-lap final, the tight indoor track threatened to derail Moss’s plans of a clean sweep. A first turn hustle dropped the defending champion down the order to ninth, but he worked his way forward and into the lead by Lap 14. Moss won the final race ahead of NPS Monster Energy Kawasaki rider, Adam Monea, and Victorian Privateer, Sam Martin.

“I want to say thanks to the Brisbane fans for coming out tonight,” Moss said. “It’s been a great year and I can’t ask for any better than a clean-sweep. I got hit in the first corner, but then I could see the leaders so I put the hammer down and got going. People have questioned if I could win without the holeshot so tonight proved them all wrong which was pretty sweet. I am overwhelmed at the moment. Winning the way we did is a huge feat and it hasn’t really sunk in yet.”

In the SX1 championship standings, Adam Monea and Moss’s teammate, Lawson Bopping, rounded out the top three.

Penrite Oil Honda Racing rider, Gavin Faith, claimed his second SX2 title, a second place finish behind Boardstix Motorsports Taylor Potter on the tight indoor track securing him the 2014 crown. The American scored the holeshot in the final but went down on the opening lap. Faith pushed forward and worked his way back to second but ran out of time to challenge Potter for the win.

“I got out of shape a couple of times and went down on the first lap,” Faith said. “I’m super-pumped to wrap it up for Penrite Honda and for all the fans who came out tonight,” Faith said. “Last year was pretty rough. I learnt a lot and bought it into this year and I feel like I rode a lot smarter this year. I will head to Germany now to do the four-round German series before returning to the USA for the AMA Supercross Championship.”

Potter’s win elevated him to second in the championship behind Faith with Kyle Peters (Wilson’s Jet Pilot Honda) third, giving Honda a clean sweep of the SX2 class.

KTM rider, Dylan Wills secured both the SXD round and championship, while in the Junior Lites, Jordan Hill took both round and championship spoils.
