The 2016 AUS-X Open will mark the first time Villopoto has raced since retiring from professional racing in early 2015 after dominating the 2014 AMA Supercross Championship.
Following his retirement, the 27-year-old from Poulsbo, Washington, has not competed in a single supercross race since.
Villopoto will face off against two-time World Champion, Chad Reed, during both nights of competition, along with a whole host of fast Australian supercross racers and more.
“I’m really excited to announce that I’ll be lining up behind a supercross gate again in Sydney, Australia, this November for the second AUS-X Open event!” said Villopoto.
“Racing (against) Chad will be awesome. I think that not only will Australian fans be tuning in, but the world also.
“It’s a unique opportunity for supercross fans – it’ll be a thing like, ‘cool, Chad’s there and so is Ryan – lets see how this pans out’ – which will be exciting.
“I’ve chosen the AUS-X Open event (to race at) because of the vibe. Obviously there are other races that are similar, however I generally looked at those as ‘headache’ events.
“The AUS-X Open seems a bit different; a lot more laid back and just a hell of a time”, finished Villopoto.
