While the action in the SX2 class has already been hard fought in the opening three rounds, it promises to get even fiercer at the GoPro round four of the 2015 Australian Supercross Championship presented by Penrite Oils when reigning MX Nationals MX2 champion Jay Wilson joins the fray at Jimboomba X Stadium, Queensland, on November 21.
Wilson, 21, who rides for the JCR Yamaha team, has been sidelined from racing for seven weeks after crashing while training in Europe on the eve of representing Australia in the prestigious Motocross of Nations world teams championship in France and suffering a stomach injury.
