German rider Ken Roczen is the new WSX champion after finishing second in a dramatic WSX Australian Grand Prix. The WSX title ends a championship drought for the Genuine Honda rider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would do it over and over again, I\u2019ve had such an amazing experience. It\u2019s been a tough ride the last few years that\u2019s why I did this. I don\u2019t regret it. I\u2019ve had so much fun here, I love coming to Australia and I can\u2019t wait to come back again. Finally getting a title again, especially the first one for my team, is nothing short of amazing.\u201d<\/p>\nKen Roczen

American Joey Savatgy won the WSX race with Roczen second and America\u2019s Justin Brayton in third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In SX2 American Shane McElrath was crowned world champion after winning the Australian Grand Prix from Genuine Honda\u2019s Max Anstie and Craig Dack Racing\u2019s Aaron Tanti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world championship is the first mayor title for McElrath, who rides for the Rick Ware Racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cA win is a win, it\u2019s never easy. These guys made it tough. We had minimal prep time but Rick Ware Racing, we literally didn\u2019t stop working. To come out on top, and to really get better every single time on the track, that\u2019s really what we worked for. Number one baby. I am proud of this team and what they\u2019ve done in a few short weeks.\u201d<\/p>\nShane McElrath

MotoConcepts won the Teams Champions and Honda took out the Manufacturer\u2019s Championship after strong performances from its riders in Cardiff and Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot WSX season featured 10 international teams including NASCAR and IndyCar team owner, Rick Ware and two Australian teams \u2013 Honda Genuine and Craig Dack Racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 50,000 fans filled Marvel Stadium for the WSX Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SX Global President Tony Cochrane AM, who pioneered the Australian V8 Supercar championship, said fans across the world were hungry to see supercross racing,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

 \u201cWe knew there was a global market out there for supercross. You need the courage of your convictions to take these things on. We really believe in the product of world supercross. We really do believe there is a global audience out there. These athletes are so talented, we really believe the world wants to see that. We\u2019re prepared to put that to the test. You\u2019re going to see, in my humble belief, this championship grow enormously in the next two to four years.\u201d<\/p>\nTony Cochrane
