CHAD REED WINS ROUND TWO IN GEELONG:
PLUS, A FOUR-MOTO FORMULA FOR THE 450 CLASS

Monster Energy Kawasaki rider, Chad Reed won three out of a possible four motos in the Australian Supercross Quad Challenge final, at the second round of the Monster Energy Super X Championship at the Skilled Stadium in Geelong.

Reed took the lead early and dominated for three of the four, five-lap finals leaving other championship front runners to fight it out for second and third. A bad start in the second moto of the night left Reed to fight his way through the pack to clinch second at the finish line, behind Woodstock Honda Thor Racing’s Daniel Reardon.

Reardon was impressive in all four motos and got off to a great start and led early in nearly every race as well as claiming the holeshot in two. In the fourth and final race, Reardon was only one point behind Reed and a win would have given him first overall on a count back.

However, Reed was too fast and determined and got off to an early lead for a dominant win. “I have been sick all week so I am just really happy to be standing up here on the podium. The track made for great racing and Reed was just too strong,” said Reardon.

17-year-old Tye Simmonds proved why he is one to watch with a solid performance in all motos resulting in third overall for the Motorex KTM rider.

“It was a great track today and I was really motivated to race this week,” said Reed. “We had a lot of work to do last week for the first round in Launceston, but we worked our booty off even harder to get the bike right for this round and I have to say it felt awesome. It was great to go racing today and I’m glad the fans got to enjoy it.”ÿ

Matt Moss won the 15 lap 250 class final. Moss took the holeshot and never looked back to finish way ahead of JDR Motorsport MX Rad’s Ryan Marmont, who claimed second with American rider Kyle Cunningham coming in third.

The Monster Energy Super X championship will now head across the country for its first ever indoor race at the Burswood Dome in Perth.
