Pozniak, who races with the support of Newcastle KTM, has been the class act of this year‰Ûªs Junior Lites Australian Supercross Championship, winning the first three of the four rounds of the Championships staged to date ‰ÛÒ with only a broken chain at round four at Jimboomba, Queensland, derailing his hopes of making a clean sweep of the series.
With a 13 point advantage, Pozniak leads fellow KTM rider Jake McGlashan (366 to 353) going into this weekend‰Ûªs Junior Lites Championship decider at Knight‰Ûªs Stadium, with Joel Cigliano (CRF Honda Racing) third with 316 points.
‰ÛÏThe points are close, so the pressure is going to be on at the final round this weekend,‰Û
