Christian Craig didnt hold back after a scintillating third moto in Australia that saw him pass Deegan and Tomac to take the lead before checking out for the win on his Quadlock Honda.
The American ended the night second overall to show that after all his injuries and issues that he can still get the job done on a 450… even if others didn’t believe in him!
Craig said: “It means a lot fot sure. I can sit here and give you a lot of stories of why I shouldn’t be racing dirt bikes. But we are here and just beat some legends, some champions and proved I could still do this. Man, that was so much fun, I have known Haiden for a long time, we are pretty close friends so to have him pacing me, I am happy for him. First win in a long time, so we will take this and head to Sweden next weekend.
“Yarrive (team owner) just believing in me. I was in some crappy situations early on but we are not going to complain. We are in a good spot, with a good team behind me and people that want me on their team. A shout out to the people that counted me out, the people that I thought were close to me… this one’s for you!
