After an electrifying start to the FOX Australian Supercross Championship with two action-packed rounds in Redcliffe, Queensland, the series made its way to the stunning coastal city of Wollongong, NSW, for Round 3. Set against the picturesque beach backdrop, the event unfolded at the iconic WIN Stadium, which hosted close to 12,000 eager fans, 60% of whom travelled from outside the region to witness the spectacle. Despite light rain adding extra moisture to the track, the ProTraxx team delivered an exceptional build that set the stage for an adrenaline-fueled night of racing.

With high stakes established in the opening rounds, tensions among contenders Joey Savatgy, Luke Clout, and defending champion Dean Wilson were palpable as they lined up in Wollongong. The 450cc class roared to life with Luke Clout capturing the holeshot, chased by Aussie Aaron Tanti. Dean Wilson surged into third with series leader Savatgy slipping to fourth after an early misstep. Wilson made an assertive pass to overtake Tanti and set his sights on Clout, who held strong for a hard-fought win in the first main event.

In the second race, Joey Savatgy found his stride, seizing the lead ahead of Wilson. Although Clout managed to climb into third, Savatgy demonstrated his skill with a decisive victory despite a late fall.

The final race saw Tanti take an early lead with Savatgy and Wilson close behind. Savatgy quickly powered to the front and, despite relentless pressure from Wilson in the closing laps, claimed the overall win. Wilson finished second overall, with Clout taking third to cap off an intense night of racing.

Despite an off-track moment in race one and a crash in race two, Savatgy’s relentless determination earned him the top spot and extended his points lead.

“It was tough tonight," said Savatgy in a team statement. "Going off track in race one hurt, and crashing in race two didn’t help, but I managed to remount and win. Race three was tricky with all the lapped traffic but another win gave me the overall. I’m happy with my riding, but we need to clean some things up."

Wilson put in a strong performance with three second-place finishes, earning him second overall, though he was visibly frustrated with the result. “I lost points on Joey tonight," Wilson said in a team statement. "It was a tough track to pass on, and there weren’t many areas where I could push harder. We’ve got two rounds left, and I need to be smart, but I can’t let Joey get away."
