A mind-boggling 7,500 tonnes of dirt will be transported into Marvel Stadium for a showdown of epic proportions as the world\u2019s best dirt bike riders descend on the sporting capital of Australia, Melbourne, on November 24 and 25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Australian Grand Prix is the grand finale of the six-round WSX season, the world\u2019s only internationally touring supercross championship.

<\/strong>\u201cIn 2022, we had over 50,000 fans pack out Marvel stadium across two nights to watch the world\u2019s best supercross riders compete and fantastic feedback from all who attended. With momentum around the Championship growing rapidly, we\u2019re expecting even more fans to come from all over Australia and internationally to enjoy the action and a weekend in Melbourne.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cChad is an absolute legend of the sport and is now a valued member of the WSX team. We\u2019re super excited to be giving fans this once-in-a-lifetime chance to win the opportunity to ride with one of the most successful supercross athletes in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn the past, I\u2019ve been so focussed on racing that I have never been able to spend as much time with the fans as I\u2019d like.\u201d<\/p>\nChad Reed | Supercross Champion & WSX Commentator <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The World Supercross Australian GP will also feature the Grand Final of the Fox Australian Supercross Championship, with the best domestic competitors taking the spotlight on Friday night.
