Penrite Honda Wilson MX press release:

Penrite Honda Wilson MX are putting the finishing touches on it’s preparation for a double podium championship result, when the 2015 Australian Supercross Series comes to a close in Melbourne, Victoria this weekend.

After an action packed round five of the championship in Sydney last weekend which left SX2 pilots Geran Stapleton and Jackson Richardson in second and third places in the SX2 championship standings, both riders will put in a final charge when racing kicks off tomorrow night at Knights Stadium in Sunshine.

Despite returning to a three rider lineup this weekend, due to Luke Wilson being sidelined with a broken wrist, the Honda backed Wilson MX team is looking forward to it’s final appearance before the Australian racing season officially wraps up for the year.

“I’m really looking forward to this weekend, I’m sitting in a second in the championship and if I can ride smart and stay safe we should be able to put Wilson MX on the SX2 Championship podium,” he said.

“The track last weekend was a lot of fun, and I think the little extras like the ramp and the tricky rhythm section made racing interesting – so we’re hoping the track will be something similar this weekend.

“It’s been an awesome experience being a part of Wilson MX for the 2015 Supercross season, so I’m going to be putting in one final charge so I can put the team on the box at the end of it.”

“It’s going to be good having the final round at home – we haven’t had a Supercross in Victoria yet this season so to have my family and friends coming out to support me this weekend is going to be awesome,” he said.

“There are a lot of guys in our class who are out injured, so the plan this weekend is just to keep it on two wheels, and maintain that third place in the championship.

“It’s been an awesome year with the Wilson MX team, and if Richo (Jackson Richardson) can hold second and I can finish third it will be a real reward for everyone after all their hard work.”

“It’s been a bit of a tough week, I’ve been sick since Sydney so I haven’t had the chance to ride or train much,” he said.

“With the last round being in Melbourne though, it will be good to have a bit of a home crowd behind me.

“The plan for me is always just to keep off the ground and have fun, so fingers crossed that all goes to plan this weekend and we can finish the year off on a high.”

The Wilson MX Team will now head to Melbourne in Victoria on December 5 for the final round of the Australian Supercross Series.
