Jay Wilson of Crankt Protein Honda Racing Team has wrapped up the third instalment of the 2016 Australian Supercross Championship with yet another consistent top ten result.

With the team's fill in rider Chris Alldredge remaining sidelined at Round 3, Wilson flew the flag for Factory Honda at Wayville in South Australia over the weekend.

Despite beginning the round with a disappointing 12th in SX1 qualifying, Wilson was determined to turn things around.

The team made significant improvements to the Honda CRF450R before the first heat and Wilson took an impressive holeshot and led for a good portion of the race, eventually crossed the line in 5th.

In the main event Wilson once again got to another flying start and was third through the first turn battling with some of the fastest riders in the country.

Eventually finishing the 20 lap race in 9th position, Wilson commented on the night's performance; "The weekend had its highs and lows. We started the morning off on the wrong foot and really struggled with our set up all day but when it mattered we managed to iron everything out and put together a solid heat race and main event,"
 
"We tried something different with our starts last night and it really paid off. In the heat I got the holeshot and in the main I was third through the first turn so now it's just about getting used to that pace at the front – a lot of Supercross has to do with your start." He added.
 
Wilson is determined to finish the last two round of the championship in a stronger position and sees team unity as the way to ensure success; "At the moment I'm nowhere near where I know I can be so these last two rounds are going to be about the whole team pulling together to finish off the year strong and show what we're capable of." Said Wilson.
 
"Next weekend is a home round for us and with back to back weekends of racing it will be nice to have less time in airports and more time on the bike preparing – I'm excited to finish off this series with some good results." Wilson said.

The Crankt Protein Honda Racing Team will now begin preparations for round four of the Australian Supercross Championship being held in Melbourne, Victoria on November 5, 2016.
