KTM Factory Junior Racing Team rider Blake Fox has ensured his name will forever be first on a page of Australian motorcycle racing history, as the winner of the first-ever Official Australian 85cc/150cc supercross title.
KTM 85 SX-mounted Fox sealed the deal at last weekend‰Ûªs muddy final round of the Australian Supercross Championship at Jimboomba, in Queensland, where he finished in equal second on points behind KTM-mounted runaway Kiwi winner Brodie Connolly, who reveled in the conditions.
Finishing with 2, 3, 4 race finishes, Fox was awarded fourth on countback for the night, behind Zack Watson and Jake Kowall.
Making the achievement even more impressive is the fact that the 13-year-old from Dubbo was competing in his first-ever season of supercross racing - a detail which didn‰Ûªt stop him winning 7 of the 12 races.
In his last ride on the KTM 85 SX he‰Ûªs all but outgrown, Fox entered the round with a 27-point lead and encountered the wettest and muddiest supercross racing conditions seen in Australia in many a year.
