American PJ Larsen has officially been declared the 2010 Monster Energy Super X, Australasian Supercross Champion, confirmed by Motorcycling Australia this morning after a number of days under review.

JDR Motorex KTM team rider Larsen has been awarded the title that originally went to Rockstar Motul Suzuki’s Matt Moss, however since Moss failed to finish 75 percent of the first final at Brisbane’s last round he has lost the six points awarded for 15th in that race.

The result sees Larsen, who is now back in the U.S, crowned the champion by four points over Moss.

“Motorcycling Australia can confirm that following further investigation from race officials, PJ Larsen has been officially declared as the Pro Lites 2010 Australian Supercross Champion,” a statement from MA said.

“A mistake was made in the compilation of results at the final round whereby Matt Moss was awarded points despite completing less than 75 per cent of one of the races – as per GCR 12.11.2.

“This was rectified by the Steward of the meeting, Paul Foster. MA, on behalf of race officials, would like to apologise to the riders and their teams who through no fault of their own were put through this uncertainty.”

Stay tuned for comments from the new champion as well as further information on the result.

MotoOnline.com.au originally broke the news story last Monday, the decision taking a week to resolve before today’s confirmation was announced.
