The series opener will take place in a weeks time at Adelaide on 7 October, this time inside the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, instead of the Showgrounds. It’s going to be interesting to see how this event plays out, because the last time the series raced indoors was in 2019 at Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and it’s no secret that the venues are on the verge of being just too tight.
Less than two weeks from the opening race, 125 gates are confirmed to drop at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre across the SX1, SX2, SX3 and 85cc classes, with waitlists for the latter, which will be the largest volume of riders per round in recent history for the Championship.
Last year’s SX1 title again went to Brayton for the fifth time, finishing only a single point ahead of Moss in second and Tanti back in third, while Anstie wrapped up the SX2 championship comfortably, with final-round winner Thompson finishing second and Crawford in third.
