The 2024 FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) season resumes on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th as the series heads to Perth, Australia, for its first-ever double-header event.
The WSX Australian GP is finally here, and as the final race weekend before the FIM World Supercross Championship’s 2024 finale in Abu Dhabi, marks one of the most important events of the current season.
As a double-header round – WSX’s first in history – there’ll be twice as much action and twice as many races taking place in Perth, but that also means that there are twice as many points available.
Tomac left the WSX Canadian GP as the clear winner after executing a near-perfect evening, going 2-1-1-1 to propel himself to the top of the WSX Riders’ Standings with 100 points. Roczen is coming into the WSX Australian GP with a 16-point deficit to Tomac, while Joey Savatgy sits third with a 21-point deficit.

McElrath is still undoubtedly the rider to beat in the SX2 class.
In Vancouver, Max Anstie was McElrath’s closest challenger and holds second in the SX2 points standings, but as a Wildcard rider, the Briton won’t be back in Perth, and that means McElrath´s teammate Coty Shock is his closest rival in the standings by 10 points.
