Honda Genuine Racing’s Justin Brayton has won this weekends Rhythm X event in Australia after claiming victory in both the supercross and straight rhythm finals.
Brayton, beat home fellow American Wil Hahn and Dean Ferris to win the $30,000 prize. It ended a brilliant season for the American rider, who had spend the past few months in Australia with his family, and a trip that saw him also win the Australian Supercross championship from Australian Motocross champion Dean Ferris.
“It felt awesome, the fans were incredible,” Brayton explained. “The track was amazing, it’s a world-class track. I love doing stuff like that, I had a blast. I expected the win, but you never know and especially with Rhythm X one mistake can ruin your whole run. I hope I can come back next year, I’d love to return. It was a tough battle, only a four-lap race and an elimination race so something a little bit different, it was sure exciting and I’m thankful to get the win. I felt good all day on the track, I felt fast in practice, but the main thing was the starts.”
