In front of a crowd of just under 18,000 at Auckland’s North Harbour Stadium, Ken Roczen enjoyed a perfect evening of racing. The US Supercross Champion won all three SX1 finals at the second round of the Australian Supercross Championship, thereby securing overall victory in commanding fashion.
The Thuringian had already set the fastest time in qualifying with a lap time of 50.246 seconds. After winning the second heat, the Suzuki rider also claimed victory in the Superpole. His time of 50.085 seconds remained unmatched.
Roczen with a perfect record
The race was held in the Triple Crown format. After the first start, Roczen just managed to avoid a crash, then went on to win all three final races ahead of Christian Craig (Honda) and Luke Clout (KTM).
Cole Davies dominates the SX2
Cole Davies also put in a flawless performance in front of his home crowd in New Zealand. The Yamaha rider was fastest in qualifying and went on to win all three SX2 final races. Cameron McAdoo (Honda) finished second overall with three second-place finishes. Reigning Australian SX2 champion Ryder Kingsford (Honda) completed the podium.
The AUSX Championship continues on 7 November with the AUSX Open at the GMHBA Stadium in Geelong.
