LANDSBOROUGH-BORN supercross superstars, Jett and Hunter Lawrence, are set to compete at the AUSX Open this year.
The supercross competition will be held at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on November 30.
This will be the first time the brothers have competed in Australia in five years.
AUSX hasn’t been held since 2019, and was on hold indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The AUSX Open this year will run as the fifth and final round of the FOX Australian Supercross Championships.
20-year-old Jett Lawrence has had a whirlwind of success since making his professional supercross debut at just 16 years old.
Jett said he was excited to come back home to compete after years of living overseas.
“I’m very excited to come back with all the things I’ve done, my stats are a lot higher since then, so excited to come back to see my local fans, and give back to them a bit,” he said.
His older brother, 24-year-old Hunter, is also a legend of the sport, with various supercross titles under his belt from the last few years.
Hunter said it was an opportunity of a lifetime to bring this event back to the country, as it had not run for several years.
“It’s unreal we can have so many great athletes from all over the world come to our backyard, in the one place at the same time is pretty special,” he said.
