Super X 2
Well it’s that time of year again. The Australian Super X series starts this weekend with the opening round in Melbourne. The series is lacking the usual promise of top US riders taking on some of the best in Australia. No mention of the main draw card of the previous series with Chad Reed nowhere to be seen.
Broken Promises
I’ve been to the Brisbane rounds each year for the last three and been disappointed because the first year the head to head battle between James Stewart
The Venues
Some of the venues have moved away from the major city centers and there are no rounds outside of main land Australia. Not that I’d be traveling to New Zealand anyway but it seems the promise of a high profile supercross series in Australia is not going to be.
Television Coverage
There will be no live television coverage as the rounds will be aired on Speed TV a week after each event.
Outdated Conent
The web site at superx.com.au has information on it that was put up in 29. In the Race formats section it refers to “In 29” and later in the same text block “this year”. I just clicked on a link to the TV coverage and its broken too…
So what’s there to look forward to this year?
Well there are still some talented riders based in Australia that will be lining up to race.
Daniel Reardon and Ryan Marmont – 45 KTM
Jay Marmont and Jake Moss – 45 Yamaha
Daniel MCoy and Cody Cooper – 45 Suzuki
