The 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) continues at the much-loved Gillman track on Sunday, May 10, with a major focus on Jed Beaton after his blazing early-season form in the Kawasaki MX1 class.
Beaton (Monster Energy CDR Yamaha) has won all four MX1 motos in a clinical start to the 2026 championship, leaving defending champion Kyle Webster (Honda Racing Australia) with plenty to think about heading into Gillman’s round three.
MX1 PREVIEW
Beaton (100pts) and Webster (86pts) are already beginning to skip clear of the pack in Kawasaki MX1, although 2022 champion Aaron Tanti (Monster Energy CDR Yamaha, 72pts) produced a double podium at Canberra’s round two to keep them in sight.
Webster’s recent Gillman credentials are impeccable – he’s currently on a three-moto winning streak – so Sunday’s action will be an intersection between the Victorian’s pace and flair around the Adelaide track and the high-flying form of Beaton, who is desperate to succeed his great rival as MX1 champion.
Aside from Beaton, Webster and Tanti, Dean Ferris (Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki, 66pts) is the only other rider to finish in the top three so far this season, and the returning four-time champion is fourth in the standings ahead of fellow seasoned campaigner Todd Waters (Raceline Husqvarna TDUB, 64pts) and Wilson Todd (Honda Racing Australia, 63pts).
MX2 PREVIEW
While Alex Larwood (Honda Racing Australia) leads the Pirelli MX2 ledger in terms of victories in 2026 – three out of four – it’s boom rookie Kingsford who leads the standings thanks to greater consistency.
Mind you, there’s only 3pts in it (83 to 80), with KTM Australia duo Byron Dennis (78pts) and Dylan Walsh (78pts) also lurking in a logjammed leaderboard after multiple podium finishes of their own.
It’s a home round for Larwood on Sunday, so with raucous local support he’ll be determined to make his way back to the top of the MX2 standings in the 20-minute plus a lap motos.
