“I’m ready to go at Marvel stadium. I was able to win here last year to finish the season strong and the build up we have had this year with Empire Kawasaki with bike development, the speed we have shown across AUSX and WSX, I’m extremely proud of where we are at and can’t wait to finish the season strong”, commented Clout.
For Reid Taylor, the Final Round allows another opportunity to rebound back on the SX2 podium for the first time since Round 1 at Redcliffe. With the emerging SX2 star fielding consistent results all season long, Marvel Stadium is the perfect setting for a late season push.
“We have had solid speed for all of the AUSX Championship, but I haven’t executed to the best of my ability since Redcliffe. The track at Marvel will allow me to showcase my speed and racecraft and I can’t wait to give the Empire Kawasaki Team a shot at another podium to finish out what has been a great 2024”, said Taylor.
Brett Metcalfe will make the transition from full time racer into retirement after the chequered flag flies in Melbourne. Finishing up his “24 in 24” tour, Metty brings to an end his illustrious career across domestic and international competition on Saturday night.
“Obviously it’s going to be emotional when it’s all said and done. Racing at Adelaide a few weeks ago in front of my Hometown crowd, it began to set in. I also showed some results that for me were unexpected and it showed I still have some speed. My goal is to stay safe at Marvel, but I’m also motivated to show what I’ve got one last time”, commented Metcalfe.
Across the Team Green support program, Powersports Kawasaki mounted Zane Mackintosh will push through a shoulder dislocation in Adelaide to line up in SX2, as he is joined by GO24’s Mitch Norris and Joel Cigliano in SX1 to fly the Team Green flag in Melbourne.
Round 5 of the 2024 Australian Supercross Championship takes place at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Saturday 30th November. The event will be broadcast across free-to-air coverage on KAYO Streaming in Australia and MAVTV for international audiences.

The Empire Kawasaki Team have arrived for their hometown Round of the Australian Supercross Championship (AUSX) at Melbourne and the infamous Marvel Stadium. The Final Round of AUSX presents Luke Clout with the potential to still challenge for the SX1 Championship as he currently sits in 3rd, with Reid Taylor looking to finish strong sitting in 4th in the SX2 Championship.
After navigating through the intense Supercross Sprint Round at Adelaide 2 weeks ago, claiming Superpole Victory and showing incredible speed, Clout backed up that performance with the latest Round of the World Supercross Championship (WSX) in Perth on a Rick Ware Racing backed KX450 where he would claim 4th and 5th overall respectively against the world's best riders.“I’m ready to go at Marvel stadium.
