Yamaha star Jed Beaton has produced another imperious display in round five of the 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX), this time in extremely heavy and choppy conditions at Appin on June 14.
On a wet day which tested the mental and physical endurance of riders, as well as pushing bikes to the absolute limit, Beaton checked out in both Kawasaki MX1 motos to claim the spoils ahead of Monster Energy CDR Yamaha teammate Aaron Tanti and Nathan Crawford (MotoCoach Elite Racing Honda). Beaton also dominated Superpole and set two fastest laps as he put on a motocross masterclass.
With defending champion Kyle Webster (Honda Racing Australia) scoring 4-4 finishes, clearly hampered by a shoulder complaint after crashing in a recent American Pro Motocross round, Beaton now has a vice-like grip on the MX1 standings with three rounds remaining.
Beaton’s 54pts (245 to 191) ahead of Webster, while Tanti (190pts) is now putting the squeeze on Webster as well.
In the other championship classes, Alex Larwood (Honda Racing Australia) extended his Pirelli MX2 lead over teammate Kayd Kingsford by the barest of margins – from nine to 10pts.
