The results in Qualifying almost mirrored practice, with Tomac crucially maintaining his pace at the head of the field and outpacing his closest title rival, Roczen, who was only sixth.
Per quanto riguarda i tempi, Savatgy è rimasto il rivale più vicino di Tomac, con il secondo posto. Mitch Oldenburg si è aggiudicato la sua posizione in SuperPole stabilendo il terzo tempo più veloce, a soli 0,023 secondi da Savatgy, mentre Aranda ha continuato il suo impressionante inizio al GP d’Australia WSX 2024 in quarta posizione, con altri 0,030 secondi di ritardo.

| Position | Rider | Team | Time |
| 1 | Eli Tomac | CDR Yamaha Supported by Star Racing | 53.988 |
| 2 | Joey Savatgy | Fire Power Honda | 54.624 |
| 3 | Mitch Oldenburg | Rick Ware Racing | 54.647 |
| 4 | Greg Aranda | Team GSM | 54.677 |
SuperPole
Dopo essere stato dietro a Tomac per gran parte della serata, Savatgy ha messo in scena una prestazione da urlo nella SuperPole, con l’americano che è uscito vincitore nella battaglia per la scelta del cancello n. 1.
Sulla strada per la testa del gruppo, Savatgy ha superato Aranda e Oldenburg con il suo giro da 52.919 secondi, lasciando Tomac come suo unico sfidante. Ma quando il pilota del CDR Yamaha Supported by Star Racing è sceso di tre decimi, è stato Savatgy a trarre vantaggio. Dietro Tomac, Oldenburg ha superato Aranda, con la coppia che si è piazzata al terzo e quarto posto.
WSX GP Race 01
Il pilota WSX Wildcard, Kyle Webster, ha vinto l’holeshot in GP Race 1 con Vince Friese, Luke Clout e Tomac che hanno inseguito l’australiano dal primo giro in poi. Il vincitore della SuperPole, Savatgy, nel frattempo ha avuto una partenza lenta in settima posizione, con Roczen appena davanti in sesta.
Mentre Webster ha tenuto duro in testa, Tomac, che ha avuto una partenza insolitamente lenta, ha ripreso i suoi sforzi e si è rapidamente fatto strada attraverso il gruppo per prendere il comando a metà gara.
WSX GP Race 02
Tomac ha ottenuto una vittoria dominante in GP Race 2 dopo aver vinto l’holeshot e preso il comando alla prima opportunità. L’otto volte campione AMA Motocross e Supercross è stato incontrastato per tutto il tempo, anche se la battaglia per il secondo posto è stata feroce.
Il podio di GP Race 1, Clout, è stato il contendente più vicino a Tomac prima di essere superato da Savatgy al terzo giro e, mentre lottava con Roczen, è caduto dalla sua moto Rick Ware Racing all’uscita della sezione ritmica.
Con Roczen sul podio, il tedesco ha inseguito Savatgy ma non è riuscito a sorpassarlo mentre Tomac, 10 secondi avanti, ha ottenuto la sua quinta vittoria della stagione 2024. Dopo il suo incidente, Clout si è ripreso fino al quarto posto mentre Oldenburg ha completato la top five.
WSX GP Race 03
Nel GP Race 3, Tomac ha ripreso la sua offensiva della notte vincendo l’holeshot per la seconda manche di fila, con Clout che seguiva di nuovo l’americano al primo giro.
Mentre Clout si è mantenuto secondo, la battaglia per il terzo posto è infuriata dietro di lui, con Friese, Savatgy e Roczen che si sono dati battaglia all’HBF Park.
Quando Savatgy e Roczen hanno entrambi superato il pilota della MotoConcepts Racing e hanno superato Clout al quarto giro, la loro lotta era per il secondo posto e, con una mossa in tuffo all’ultimo giro, è stato Roczen ad arrivare primo.
Il pilota della PMG è arrivato secondo dietro a Tomac che era a quattro secondi dalla pista, con Savatgy terzo. Clout è riuscito a resistere e a finire quarto, mentre Aranda ha completato la top five, convertendo il suo ritmo in precedenza in risultati.
SuperFinal
Nella SuperFinal multi-classe del FIM World Supercross Championship, si sono affrontati i primi otto piloti delle classi WSX e SX2, con Tomac, Savatgy, Roczen, Clout, Wilson, Oldenburg, Colt Nichols e Friese a rappresentare la griglia 450cc.
Dopo essere stato intoccabile in ogni gara precedente, è stato Tomac a vincere l’holeshot, nonostante una partenza veloce per Ken Roczen, ma il leader dei punti WSX è stato subito sotto pressione.
Mentre il pilota PMG incalzava il suo rivale per il titolo, un errore al quarto giro è costato caro a Roczen e ha permesso alla Tomac di andare avanti e aggiudicarsi la vittoria, eseguendo una serata perfetta dopo essere andato 1-1-1-1.
Dopo l’errore, Roczen è stato costretto a una rapida ripresa ma ha mantenuto il secondo posto, con Dean Wilson che ha conquistato il suo primo podio individuale della stagione 2024 al terzo posto. Savatgy è arrivato quarto, mentre Clout ha completato la top five.

| 4 | Greg Aranda | Team GSM | 54.677 |
SuperPole
After trailing Tomac for most of the night, Savatgy staged an upstart performance in SuperPole, with the American coming out on top in the battle for the #1 gate pick.
On his way to the head of the field, Savatgy outpaced Aranda and Oldenburg with his 52.919s lap, leaving Tomac as his sole challenger. But when the CDR Yamaha Supported by Star Racing rider fell three-tenths short, it was advantage Savatgy. Behind Tomac, Oldenburg edged out Aranda, with the pair placing third and fourth.
WSX GP Race 01
WSX Wildcard rider, Kyle Webster, won the holeshot in GP Race 1 with Vince Friese, Luke Clout, and Tomac chasing the Aussie from the first lap onwards. SuperPole winner, Savatgy, meanwhile had a sluggish start in seventh, with Roczen just ahead in sixth.
While Webster held his own at the front, Tomac – who had an uncharacteristically slow getaway – rallied his efforts and quickly sliced his way through the pack to take the lead at mid-race distance.
The American opened a six-second advantage to claim victory at the flag, with Roczen claiming second after battling forward late in the race. Clout finished third to claim his first GP Race podium in the premier WSX 450cc class, with Savatgy and Fire Power Honda team-mate, Dean Wilson, completing the top five.
WSX GP Race 02
Tomac cruised to a dominant victory in GP Race 2 after winning the holeshot and taking the lead at the first opportunity. The eight-time AMA Motocross and Supercross champion was unchallenged throughout, although the battle for the runner-up spot was fierce.
GP Race 1 podium finisher, Clout, was Tomac’s closest contender before being overtaken by Savatgy on lap three, and while battling Roczen, came off his Rick Ware Racing bike when exiting the rhythm section.
With Roczen in the podium places, the German chased after Savatgy but was unable to overtake while Tomac, 10 seconds ahead, took his fifth win of the 2024 season. After his accident, Clout recovered to fourth while Oldenburg completed the top five.
WSX GP Race 03
In GP Race 3, Tomac resumed his offensive of the night by winning the holeshot for a second moto in a row, with Clout trailing the American once again on the first lap.
While Clout held his own in second, the battle for third raged behind him, with Friese, Savatgy, and Roczen scrapping it out at HBF Park.
When Savatgy and Roczen both overtook the MotoConcepts Racing rider and breezed past Clout on lap four, their fight was for second place, and with a diving move on the final lap, it was Roczen who came out on top.
The PMG rider finished as the runner-up behind Tomac who was four seconds up the track, with Savatgy in third. Clout was able to hold on to finish fourth, while Aranda completed the top five, converting his pace earlier in the evening into results.
SuperFinal
In the FIM World Supercross Championship’s multi-class SuperFinal, the top eight riders from both the WSX and SX2 classes faced off, with Tomac, Savatgy, Roczen, Clout, Wilson, Oldenburg, Colt Nichols, and Friese representing the 450cc grid.
After being untouchable in every race prior, it was Tomac who won the holeshot although a quick start for Ken Roczen but the WSX points leader under immediate pressure.
While the PMG rider harried his title rival, a mistake on lap four cost Roczen dearly, and allowed the Tomac to streak ahead and claim the victory, executing a perfect evening after going 1-1-1-1.
Following the mistake, Roczen was forced into a quick recovery but held on for second place, with Dean Wilson claiming his first individual race podium of the 2024 season in third. Savatgy was fourth, while Clout completed the top five.
