Josh Hill Takes His Turn At the Top of the ASX Standings with Wire to Wire Win

Hart&Huntington, InsureMyRide, Suzuki's Josh Hill has become the third rider in three rounds to stand atop of the 2013 Terex Australian Supercross Championships standings after winning round five held at Phillip Island, Victoria this afternoon.

The ASX riders returned for their second day of racing action, running along side the 2013 Australian MotoGp round, with Carlton Dry Honda's Weston Peick leading the points standings coming in to the round, after picking up the win at round four Yesterday after early series leader Matt Moss struggled to a 11th place finish after a huge crash at the start of the race.

Unfortunately for Peick, he became the second rider to suffer a big over the course of the weekend who suffered a crash that eventually lead to the loss of the championship leaders red plate. Peick crashed heading into the whoops during practice, breaking his collarbone and putting and end to his championship hopes, with just one round remaining.

When the gates dropped on the main event it was Hill who lead the field over the finish line at the conclusion of lap one and never looked back, opening up a gap of over 14 seconds last in the race before cruising around on the last lap to take a convincing Victory.

Finishing in second place was Motul Pirelli Suzuki racer Matt Moss, while DPH Motorsports Sam Martin put in the best race of his young career with the 18 year old piloting his RM-Z 450 to the final step of the podium, giving Suzuki a clean sweep over the nights proceedings.

Suzuki now also hold the top three spots in the overall standings, with Hill holding a five point lead over Matt Moss, with Campbell Mining Suzuki's Jake Moss a further two points further back in third place after finishing in sixth place today.
