MX1 PREVIEW
The premier Kawasaki MX1 Class has seen both Monster Energy CDR Yamaha’s Jed Beaton (Vic) and Boost Mobile Honda’s Kyle Webster (Vic) go back and forth this season, with time running out for defending champion Webster to close the gap at the front of the field. He sits 15pts behind Beaton entering Canberra, and is in a must-win situation at this point of the championship.
Third-placed KTM Racing Team rider Nathan Crawford (QLD) showed improvements at the fifth round in Warwick, posting a 2-3 moto scorecard for third overall, and was all around closer to the front duo. Completing the top five is the resurgent Honda Racing rider Wilson Todd (Vic), and privateer revelation Zachary Watson (QLD), who will do what they can to challenge at the pointy end.

MX2 PREVIEW
Defending champion Brodie Connolly (Vic) has started to inch away from the rest of the Pirelli MX2 field, winning the last three of four motos, and showcasing why he wears the number one plate. Monster Energy Yamalube Yamaha’s Ryder Kingsford trails by 17pts, and will need to strike back to remain in contention for the title.
Claiming four of the five podiums in 2025, KTM Racing Team’s Noah Ferguson (QLD) remains strong in P3, however, previous round winner Alex Larwood (SA) has closed to within 3pts of the final position on the podium, and this promises to be a fight until the end. The second Factory KTM of Byron Dennis (NSW) is a further 10pts behind Lawrood, with third overall in the standings still wide open.
Knocking on the door of the top five are Jayce Cosford (NSW), Cobie Bourke (NSW), Rhys Budd (NSW), and Deacon Paice (WA), with each rider looking for a standout performance of the 2025 season after a consistent front half.
