The final round of the 2024 Australian Supercross Championship, the AUSX Open, saw Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team riders Jack Mather and Joel Evans both secure top 10 results overall.

In front of a packed Marvel Stadium, and against a world-class SX1 field, Mather wrapped up his rookie season with ninth overall, while new recruit Evans, held his own with a P10 result in the SX2 class.

After setting the eighth-fastest lap in qualifying, Mather and his Husqvarna FC 450 finished a solid P7 in race one. In the final two motos, he raced to P13 and P11 results to finish ninth overall and end his season eighth in the series.

Jack Mather: “It was a good experience to go up against some of the guys that I’ve looked up to. My first final was good and I managed to find a good rhythm, but I crashed in the second race, then had to try and come back from a bad start in the last one. Overall though, I’m pretty happy to have finished eighth in my first SX1 championship and to wrap up a good year with the Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team.”

Meanwhile, in his first appearance with the Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team, fill in rider Joel Evans set a qualifying time that was the fastest of the non-seeded SX2 racers and good enough for ninth gate pick.

He too started the night show strongly, with P7 in the first final, then logged a P9 and a P15 in the remaining two outings to claim an inspiring 10th overall onboard the Husqvarna FC 250.

Joel Evans: “It’s been great to have had the opportunity to ride for the Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team this weekend. It was my first experience with a team, and to do that at the biggest supercross race we’ve ever held in Australia is pretty awesome. My day started well and I was happy with how I rode in the first two finals, but I had a crash in the last race and it took me a while to get going again. It was disappointing to end the night like that, but I’m still stoked on the opportunity I was given this weekend.”
