Wilson Dominates In Japan

Japanese 250 motocross champion Jay Wilson of the Yamaha Factory Innovation team has pulled off yet another victory in the All Japanese championship, but having move up from the 250cc class to the 450cc class, he is still in total control.

Wilson, a former Grand Prix racer with the Steve Dixon team has won all four rounds of the championship, taking his fourth victory of the year last weekend in Hiroshima, Japan. After dominating the 250cc class in 2022, it was his 11th straight win in Japan.

“This was my first-time racing at this venue and it’s the first time we have done the traditional two, thirty-minute motos this year,” Wilson said. “Probably been the hottest day we have had racing this year as well, so it was a good test of fitness and durability on boh me and the bike. The weekend went well, and the track was a lot of fun to ride. It had a heap of jumps and was almost like a fast supercross track, so it was a lot of fun to ride.

After not racing for a couple of weeks, the Aussie gains a lot of energy from the rest and came into last weekend with all guns blazing and produced his typical Japanese magic.

“I had a quiet couple of weeks leading into this race as I wasn’t well but feeling good now and back to working hard with Yamaha and the team during the week to be ready for upcoming events we have planned. Thanks to all the team supporters and look forward to seeing everyone at round five.”
