After a successful return to the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) calendar in 2025, the historic Appin track will do it all again on Sunday, June 14 as the second half of an increasingly fascinating season gets underway.
MX1: Beaton almost perfect so far
After winning seven of the eight Kawasaki MX1 motos in 2026, Beaton has hardly put a foot wrong on the YZ450F – but he can never relax thanks to the constant spectre of two-time defending champion Kyle Webster (Honda Racing Australia).
The gap between the pair widened at the last round in Toowoomba, but Webster is returning to a track where he scored a clean sweep in 2025 ahead of Beaton and Luke Clout.
That will provide motivation aplenty to the Victorian – who recently competed in round one of the 2026 Pro Motocross Championship in America – particularly as he’s also feeling the heat from 2022 MX1 champion Aaron Tanti (Monster Energy CDR Yamaha) who is only a further 9pts behind. Tanti was also an MX1 winner at Appin in 2023.
MX2: The experience vs the rookie
Overall round honours have ebbed and flowed between Honda Racing Australia teammates Alex Larwood and rookie Kayd Kingsford in the Pirelli MX2 class, but it’s the former’s superior moto-winning appetite that has him a 9pt leader at the halfway mark.
But it’s by no means a two-pronged affair at the top, with KTM Factory Racing teammates Byron Dennis and Dylan Walsh, Ryder Kingsford (Honda Racing Australia) and Noah Ferguson (Monster Energy Yamalube Racing) also circling in a championship which is becoming more gripping with every round.
