Yamaha star Jed Beaton has tightened his grip on the 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) after yet another clean sweep, this time in Toowoomba on May 24.
Motivated by two years of near misses and heartache, Beaton’s unrelenting form on the Monster Energy CDR Yamaha continued in the Kawasaki MX1 class as he won both 25-minute plus a motos in challenging, heavy conditions at the historic Echo Valley track – the first over teammate Aaron Tanti and the second after a spirited battle with defending champion Kyle Webster (Honda Racing Australia). Nathan Crawford (MotoCoach Racing Team Honda) scored a pair of excellent third places.
With Webster caught up as an innocent victim of a crash at the start of moto one – Dean Ferris (Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki) and Wilson Todd (Honda Racing Australia) were others to go down – Beaton has now extended his MX1 lead to 40pts (195 to 155) over Webster at the halfway mark in the ProMX Championship.
Not an impregnable margin by any stretch in a discipline where fortunes can turn in the blink of an eye, but the DNF could prove costly for Webster’s defence aspirations by season’s end.
MX2: Kayd Kingsford take the win!
The MX2 class inducted a third moto winner for 2026 in Toowoomba, with Ferguson winning moto two after bolting away from the pack.
Points leader Larwood also performed a similarly flavoured front-running feat in the opener, but it was Kingsford who made the biggest inroads in round four after his consistent 2-2 results.
With Larwood crashing early in moto two and nursing a sore shoulder to the finish, Kingsford – who only had collarbone surgery three weeks ago – closed the championship gap to 11pts (164 to 155), while KTM Factory Racing duo Byron Dennis (151pts) and Dylan Walsh (147pts) are also lurking.
Walsh went 4-3 at Echo Valley for second overall from Ryder Kingsford (Honda Racing Australia, 3-5), Larwood (1-12) and Ferguson (14-1), who went down twice in the opener before his blazing comeback in the second moto.
