Ken Roczen and Cole Davies dominated Round 2 of the 2026 Boost Mobile Australian Supercross Championship, delivering perfect 1-1-1 sweeps in their respective classes at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand.
Both riders remained unbeaten throughout the three main events, putting together commanding performances in front of the Auckland crowd.
SX1 FINAL 1: Roczen vs Craig
Ken Roczen claimed the opening SX1 final after surviving a near-crash in the first corner. The German kept it on two wheels and quickly charged forward, taking the lead on the opening lap from holeshot winner Luke Clout.
Just behind them, Christian Craig was on the move and wasted no time getting into second. The Quad Lock Honda rider was on fire, closing in on Roczen and putting the Suzuki rider under pressure for almost ten laps.
However, a mistake eventually broke the battle, allowing Roczen to pull clear and secure the victory. Craig finished second, followed by Clout, Cedric Soubeyras and Aaron Tanti in fifth.
SX1 FINAL 2: Roczen makes it two in a row
Ken Roczen continued his dominance in Auckland, taking his second consecutive SX1 final victory after getting a much better start this time around.
Christian Craig applied some pressure during the opening laps, but Roczen gradually pulled clear to secure another comfortable win. Luke Clout once again crossed the line in third, while Aaron Tanti was the rider on the move, charging through the field to claim fourth ahead of Cedric Soubeyras in fifth.
SX1 FINAL 3: Roczen completes the sweep!
Ken Roczen was untouchable in the third and final SX1 race, leading from the gate drop to the chequered flag to complete a perfect 1-1-1 scorecard.
The HEP Suzuki rider controlled the race from the front, while Christian Craig recovered from a poor start to secure second place. However, the Honda rider ran out of time to mount a serious challenge for the win.
Luke Clout delivered another consistent performance to finish third, completing an identical podium to the first two finals.
SX2 FINAL 1: Davies dominates
Cole Davies delivered a commanding performance in the opening SX2 final, taking the holeshot and leading every lap to secure an impressive victory on home soil.
Cameron McAdoo finished second after an entertaining back-and-forth battle with reigning champion Kayd Kingsford, who had to settle for third.
Meanwhile, Max Anstie produced one of the strongest rides of the race. Despite having to qualify through the LCQ and getting a terrible start, the British rider charged through the field to finish fourth.
SX2 FINAL 2: Davies fights back after poor start
Cole Davies made it two wins from two in Auckland, despite getting a poor start in the second SX2 final. The New Zealander needed just one lap to take the lead and, once out front, quickly pulled away from the chasing pack.
Behind him, Cameron McAdoo found himself in the middle of an intense battle involving Lux Turner and the Kingsford brothers, Kayd and Ryder. All four riders traded positions and pushed each other for several laps before McAdoo eventually secured second place. Turner finished third, ahead of Kayd and Ryder Kingsford.
SX2 FINAL 3: Davies makes it three from three
The final SX2 race followed a similar pattern to the previous two, with Cole Davies completing the sweep after another dominant performance from the start.
The New Zealander controlled the race to secure his third consecutive victory on home soil. Cameron McAdoo once again finished second, leading a strong Quad Lock Honda presence ahead of Ryder Kingsford and Kayd Kingsford.
McAdoo’s consistent 2-2-2 results secured second overall, while Ryder Kingsford completed the podium with a 3-5-3 scorecard.
