Former FMX champ eyes AUS-X Open
Tom Pagès will return to Australia to contest ‘Best Trick’ at this year’s AUS-X OpenFormer Freestyle World Motocross Champion Tom Pagès (pictured) is heading Down Under, with the dirt bike maestro set to contest the AUS-X Open’s ‘Best Trick’ category in mid-November.
Held over November 12-13 at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, AUS-X will see myriad freestyle guns battle it out for a record-breaking $120,000 prize pool.
Pagès, who finished second in the event last year, says he’s thrilled to be returning for the competition.
“I have really good memories from last year’s AUS-X Open, and I really can’t wait to come back!” he said.
“I love visiting Australia at that time of the year, so it’s awesome to be able to go down there, and compete in such an awesome event.
“This year is going to be really tough – competition wise – as I know that Clinton [Moore] is working on some pretty crazy tricks, along with the other big name guys too, so I’ll go there and try do my best and we’ll see what happens.”
The supercross element to AUS-X, meanwhile, will see the likes of Ryan Villopoto, Chad Reed and Cooper Webb all lock horns.
More big name stars are expected to sign on for AUS-X Open in the following weeks.
