SUZUKI WINS AUSTRALIAN SX TITLE
Team Suzuki Press Office – November 21.
Motul Pirelli Suzuki’s Matt Moss clinched the 2013 Australian Supercross Championship at Toowoomba’s sixth and final round, adding it to his and the team’s Australian Motocross Championship victory earlier this season.
Moss was at his immaculate best in Queensland aboard the 2014 RM-Z450, topping timed qualifying, winning his heat race and leading all 20 laps of the Main Event on his way to the race win and championship after entering the finale five points behind the lead.
It’s been a remarkable year for Moss in his maiden full-time campaign in the premier category, sealing both the Supercross and MX Nationals Championships for Suzuki in his return to the Jay Foreman-managed Motul Pirelli Suzuki squad.
“My feeling right now is indescribable,” said 25-year-old Moss. “I just wanted to do my own thing, stay clean and that’s exactly what I was able to do. All day long I felt confident, I knew I had to do my job and get a good start in the Main, which is how it turned out.
“I’m really thankful to Jay and Jess Foreman, as well as the entire Motul Pirelli Suzuki team – now we need to come back and defend these two number one plates next year!”
It was a Suzuki sweep of the Supercross podium overall as Moss’ twin brother Jake claimed second for the round and series, while American Josh Hill salvaged third despite a DNF in the final Main Event of the season.
Motul Pirelli Suzuki team manager Jay Foreman was proud of Moss’ efforts once again, the team making the most of its tight-knit structure across the course of the season.
“This is great,” Foreman said. “Matt was never a gamble for me, we’ve worked together before and won championships together before. Once Matt is in the right place, anything is possible – he’s so determined and he’s a winner. This result is really incredible for the whole team.”
Moss and Suzuki have now won five championships together including the 2008 SX Lites title, 2009 MX and SX Lites titles and both the 2013 MX and SX Open titles.
