A podium result in the final main event at Wollongong has confirmed Regan Duffy is heading in the right direction, according to the SX2 class rookie.

Duffy, 17, has made a strong start in his supercross career just three races in, scoring a maiden race podium on Saturday night for round three of the Australian Supercross Championship.

Overcoming a heavy fall in qualifying, the youthful Western Australian recorded a 13-11 scorecard in the opening two encounters before putting on a stellar display in the finale, finishing third for ninth overall.

“Tonight was rough,” Duffy admitted. “I got strapped up after my fall in qualifying and I felt so tight I struggled to ride like I know I can. For the last race we figured it out and I’m pumped to have a podium finish in a main event race – battling with my teammate was huge.

“Thanks to the team, we are going in the right direction and I’m excited to see what we can do in New Zealand and Melbourne in the coming weeks.”

The Raceline KTM Thor rider is ranked ninth SX2 standing ahead of this weekend’s penultimate round in New Zealand.
