Still-injured Dean Wilson felt like a ‘fish out of water’ on his return to the Monster Energy Supercross fray at the weekend but still pulled out a 12th place main event finish in Orlando.

In 450SX heat one, he started around 13th and he made a nice charge up to 10th but it wasnā€™t enough to secure a direct transfer into the Main Event.

Wilson lined up for the LCQ where he grabbed a second-place start and quickly overtook the lead on lap two. With a steady ride, Wilson won the LCQ and a main event spot.

He put together 25 solid laps in the main, fighting his way back from a rough start to ultimately finish just outside the top 10 with 12th

ā€œMy night was very difficult but it feels really good to be back at the races,ā€ said Wilson.

ā€œI think the hardest part for me was not being on the bike for almost three weeks, I felt like a fish out of water.

“Iā€™m happy to get through the night, I know 12th isn’t really what we want but I could see ninth right there and with a good start, I think I’ll be pretty good.ā€
