Verdict:
It was an action-packed SX1 main event that saw multiple lead changes and plenty of back-and-forth action throughout the field. The muddy conditions caused havoc for a number of riders, including early leader Dan Reardon who made his way back to fourth position after making a number of errors. In the end it was the battle between Wilson Coolair Motul Suzuki’s Nick Schmidt and Mega Fuels Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Nathan Crawford that stole the show. Although Crawford crossed the line first and began to celebrate his first premier class victory, it was America’s Schmidt who was eventually credited with the win due to a penalty placed on Crawford following an off-track excursion through the whoops section whilst battling for the top spot. Making his way quietly around the track two laps down on the leaders, defending champion Justin Brayton crossed the line in fifth to capture back-to-back SX1 titles in what was a nail-biting round for the experienced American and his Penrite Honda Racing team.

Verdict:
Raceline Pirelli KTM’s Jay Wilson was unstoppable at Jimboomba’s final round in the SX2 category – he was just too comfortable and confident on the mud-soaked circuit. After dominating his heat, Wilson jumped out to the lead right off the start and rode consistent laps to capture the victory and jump up to third overall in points tied with DPH Motorsport Yamaha’s Wilson Todd – who went down early – in second position. Jackson Richardson rode a conservative and smart race to ensure he claimed his second-consecutive class title, the Serco Yamaha rider crossed the line in fourth place behind Chris Blose (Penrite Honda Racing) and the injured Dylan Wills (Dyson Motorsports Husqvarna) to again take home the number one plate in 2017.
