Justin Brayton, Wil Hahn Finish 1-2 at Round 2 of Australian Supercross Championship
American rider, Justin Brayton, captured a second consecutive win to begin the 2016 Australian Supercross Championship Friday at Toowoomba Showgrounds.
Brayton won the 20-lap main event over fellow American Wil Hahn. American riders made up three of the top-four, with Kyle Peters finishing fourth behind Australian Dean Ferris.
“Stoked to get the win tonight!! Huge thanks to everyone at American Honda, and The Honda Genuine team here in Aus for making this all possible,” Brayton wrote on Instagram after the main event.
Popular American privateer Adam Enticknap finished seventh overall.
It was a tough night for American riders Gavin Faith and Jimmy Decotis in the SX2 (250) class. Decotis, the defending SX2 champion, crashed hard in his heat race and did not line up for the main event.
Decotis wrote on Instagram that he’s “sore and banged up” but lucky to avoid further injury.
Faith, a two-time champion of the class, was leading the main event before crashing heavily on the opening lap. He finished 20th.
U.S.-based Australian riders Jackson Richardson and Hayden Mellross finished 1-2, with Richardson picking up his first win of the season. Australian privateer Geran Stapleton rounded out the podium.
