Popular Australian Hayden Mellross has expressed his satisfaction in finishing 10th in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX West Championship which concluded at the weekend in Las Vegas.

Despite a shoulder injury marring his campaign, Mellross pushed through the adversity as he clocked up a number of top 10 results, rounding out the season with a 10th place finish in the East/West Shootout on Saturday night.

“Ending the season with a top 10 is huge for me,” Mellross commented. “I really liked the track today and felt like I was on it during practice and qualifying. Chiz and I put the 51Fifty Energy Drink Yamaha YZ’s back to back in qualifying and the heat, which was super cool, and I was able to come through the pack pretty well in the main.

“I knew I had to be up there to get the top 10 overall in points so I kept my head down and kept charging. Another solid year with the team and happy to end it on a high note.”

Mellross’ plans for the remainder of the year are yet to be determined, however its anticipated he’ll line-up for the Australian Supercross Championship in an attempt to redeem himself after being denied of the SX2 title on consecutive occasions.
