MotoOnline.com.au highlights three standout performances from Saturday night’s opening round of the 2016 Australian Supercross Championship at Jimboomba in Queensland. Radar isn’t strictly about the winners, it’s about the unsung racers that we spot performing above expectations on any given race weekend.

Luke Wilson (Wilson’s Coolair Motul Suzuki) – SX1, seventh:
Wilson’s Coolair Motul Suzuki rider Luke Wilson broke through for an impressive top ten finish at Jimboomba, completing the main event in seventh. After making a switch to the 450 for 2016 and enduring a challenging year outdoors, it’s evident Wilson feels at home on a supercross circuit.

Geran Stapleton (Honda) – SX2, fifth:
Victorian privateer Geran Stapleton started the night strong finishing his heat in third, to then back up his result in the 15-lap main event. After sitting in the top three for a third of the main, 24-year-old Stapleton dropped two positions as the race wore on to record a respectable fifth place finish.

Josh Cachia (Penrite Honda Racing) – SX2, sixth:
There was a lot of anticipation of where Josh Cachia would sit amongst the field after two years off racing, and a second place finish in the first heat of the night was a clear indicator that he still has the pace. The colourful character put together a sensible race to collect sixth position in the main, narrowly missing out on the top five.
