Australian Chad Reed has won the opening night of the 2016 AUS-X Open in Sydney.

Current Australian Supercross points leader Justin Brayton led for the majority of the race, with Reed right there. On lap 16, Brayton made a mistake which allowed Reed to get the lead. Reed would go on to take the win on the first night of two.

With his second place finish, Brayton clinched the SX1 Australian Supercross Championship.

Australian Jay Marmont took third ahead of Cooper Webb. The out-of-retirement Ryan Villopoto finished sixth.

Gavin Faith won the SX2 Class over Jackson Richardson and Hayden Mellross. Mellross still holds a six-point lead over Richardson heading into the final round on Sunday.
