DPH Motorsport press release:
With the Supercross season set to get underway this weekend in Brisbane, the DPH Motorsport Husqvarna Factory Racing team is primed for a strong opener, despite SX1 racer Todd Waters having limited time on the FC450 due to an off-season hand injury. Wilson Todd, aboard the FC250 will once more race the SX2 class as he looks to improve on his fourth place 2018 supercross season finish.
Dale Hocking, DPH Husqvarna team owner: “Both Todd and Wilson got injured in the lead-up which isn’t ideal, but both are confident of strong results this weekend. They still carry a lot of confidence after winning their respective titles, but know full-well that they are on the back foot, however, I think they will both do well this weekend. They don’t have any pressure, and both have the speed and ability to get the job done, so I guess we’ll see what happens when the gate drops.”
Todd Waters, SX1 – FC450: “Day in the Dirt was awesome fun, but I’ve been paying for it, after hurting my hand there. It’s meant I’ve had to hold off on too much riding, but I’ve been getting into it over the last week. If anything, I feel fresh and the time off the bike has just made me want to ride all that much more. My goal for 2019 has always been to win races, and it’s no different heading into supercross. I’m going to give it everything to take the points this weekend.”
Wilson Todd, SX2 – FC250: “I decided to spend some time in Europe after hurting my rib and shoulder in training, but I’m confident heading into this weekend. The FC250 is an unbelievable bike, and DPH have a package that really works for me, so I can’t see why I won’t be able to pick up where I left off. I managed to get some laps in this week in Melbourne despite the rain, and although I am a little sore, I feel good, so I’m looking forward to lining up on Saturday and getting into it.”
