After a solid performances last weekend at the Aus X Open, Dean Wilson has pulled out of the World Supercross Championship (WSX) final round this Wednesday, with Fire Power Honda replacing Wilson with Aaron Tanti for the final round of the 2024 series.

“People might have seen me race over the weekend, but it was tough,” Wilson said. “I have no strength in my shoulder, it’s full of fluid, and it popped out again. Anyone who’s dealt with a shoulder injury knows there’s no stability when it’s like this. I have to be smart – I still have a long future ahead.”

Tanti who finishing fifth in the Australian Supercross Championship (AUSX) with Yarrive Konsky’s Boost Mobile Honda Racing team has spent a major part of 2024 racing in Canada

“This is an incredible opportunity to race against some of the world’s best,” commented Tanti. “I know I’m on a great bike, with an amazing team backing me, and I’m excited to close out the year with another race.”

Yarrive Konsky: “Dean is a fierce competitor who loves racing, so it’s devastating for him to sit out. What Vince did is absolutely unacceptable – his blatant disregard for other riders is appalling and sets a terrible example, especially for young fans watching. I want to thank Aaron for stepping in on such short notice, he’s a talented rider, and a true professional.”
