Wills’ Championship Result Caps Off a Successful First Premier Class Season

Husqvarna Racing Team rider Dylan Wills has finished his rookie SX1 campaign in the Australian Supercross Championship (AUSX) fourth overall following another solid display at Wagga Wagga's final round of the 2022 season.

After qualifying in fifth position, Wills and his 2023 Husqvarna FC 450 put in an impressive performance in the heat race by leading some of the early laps and finishing with a creditable P2 result.

During the two-race finals format, Wills finished fifth overall after posting a 6-5 result in the eight-lap motos.

A small mistake in the opening final saw him slip from sixth to ninth on the third lap, but he rebounded to work his way again up to sixth position before crossing the finish-line.

Wills’ top four championship result caps off a successful first premier class season for the Sydney-based rider, who finished a career-high second overall at the previous round in Newcastle.

In addition to the success of Wills, Husqvarna FC 250-mounted Jack Mather broke through for a maiden Australian SX3 Championship victory, courtesy of consistent 4-4 results and fourth overall at the final round.

Dylan Wills: "Tonight was good, even though the track was breaking down quite a lot in the conditions. It was super-dusty out there, so fighting in the pack was really hard and I was trying to be patient. The heat race was good, but then I did twist my ankle a little bit in a crash during the first final - still salvaging sixth in that one. After that, we rode solid for P5 in the second final for fifth overall and also finished fourth in the championship. I feel like the FC 450 really suits my style, it was a good season and the Husqvarna Racing Team was unbelievable all year."
