Motocross Champion Jay Wilson celebrates Title at Taupo “I was just in a daze when I crossed the finish line, and I was offered a victory lap which was unreal,” said Wilson. “I just don’t know what to say about winning the World Championship, I’m thrilled and speechless. “The track at Taupo was unbelievable despite the weather, and my KTM was running perfect over here in the tough conditions. “I was really pleased with qualifying, and went into race one pretty confident. I got a great start, and knew I had to be really aggressive to get to the lead early. By turn four I was in the lead, and built a comfortable buffer to take the win. “In race two there was a little bit more pressure to hold it together for the title, and I had a really tough battle with Samuele Bernadini from Italy. We came into contact quite a few times, and I crashed at one stage, but once I got back up I knew I just had to work on holding a top three spot. “Michaboy de Waal from the Netherlands was also riding hard, so I settled in third, and knew that it was enough to hold the points lead. “I really want to thank Motorcycling Australia and their support team, GMR Motorex KTM, and their associated sponsors as well as my family for all of the support. It is an unbelievable feeling, and I am just so proud to be Australia’s first World Motocross Champion.” |
