The accolade caps off a big year for Gardiner, who was also inducted into the Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame earlier this year on the back of her years of success both here in Australia and internationally. In a rare weekend off, Gardiner was on hand to receive the award with her family and took the time to thank those who had helped her achieve success along the way.
For Dack, the racing days were a long time ago, but that is just part of the Craig Dack legacy. Aside from his four Mr Motocross championships and multiple Australian Championships, CDR Yamaha is now in its 33rd year and still going strong, setting a benchmark for race teams in Australia.

Eliza Dennis was recognised for her year as Junior Female Racer of the Year. Dennis notched up another great year of results, highlighted by her win in the Australian Junior Motocross Championships, which was completed with a broken collarbone.

Jo Shimoda confirmed at HRC for 2026
On the heels of his first major professional racing championship, Jo Shimoda has signed a new deal with the factory Honda HRC Progressive team. The 23-year-old turned in a breakout season in 2025, consistently fighting for wins and podium finishes, and earning the SuperMotocross 250 crown.
Jo Shimoda
“Since I was young, I’ve thought HRC is one of the most advanced teams in the whole motorsports industry,” Shimoda said. “To be a part of that is amazing. Where I grew up, they have the Suzuka Circuit, where Honda is all over the place—Honda Racing Corporation is right by my house! There’s a lot to it, and it means a lot to me.”
Jo Shimoda
Born and raised in Suzuka, Japan (where Honda has several important operations), Shimoda started riding at age 4 and, after earning early success in his home country, began honing his skills during increasingly frequent international forays. He eventually landed a spot on the Honda-supported Factory Connection amateur program, which transitioned into a pro ride near the end of the 2019 season.
He posted respectable results over the next two years, even earning the 2020 AMA Supercross Rookie of the Year Award. Shimoda moved to another manufacturer when the satellite team shut down following the 2021 season, but he returned to Honda’s factory team in 2024.
The 2025 season marked a significant step forward for him. He won the AMA Supercross 250 West opener before a fluke hand injury affected the remainder of his indoor campaign, and he finished second in AMA Pro Motocross standings, taking a pair of overall wins along the way.
Then in the three-round SuperMotocross Playoffs, Shimoda took another two overall wins and wrapped up the title, becoming the first Japanese rider to win a professional AMA championship. Shimoda was also impressive while racing a CRF450RWE for the first time with Team Japan at the season-end Motocross of Nations, posting 2-6 results in his two motos.

Tom Vialle steps up to MXGP with Honda HRC
Two-time MX2 World Champion and double-SX 250cc champion, Tom Vialle has signed for Honda HRC in a multi-year deal, which will see the Frenchman step up into the MXGP class for the foreseeable future.
Tom Vialle
Honda HRC are hoping that Vialle can hit the ground running and use this off-season to fully prepare for the rigours of the 2026 MXGP World Championship, with 20 rounds located around the globe.
Helping him adjust to the MXGP class will be returning Ruben Fernandez, who has re-signed with Honda HRC, as he attempts to better his fourth place in 2025 World Championship and add to his win and podium tally with the team. The Spaniard showed a lot of speed and consistency last year, and alongside Vialle will provide a high-level threat on their Honda CRF450Rs. Vialle made his debut with Honda last weekend in Paris.
Tom Vialle
“This is obviously a big change for me, but I felt it was the right change at this point in my career. I have a lot of experience riding in the world championships, so I’ve always kept an eye on the series and how things are going over there and when I found out that Honda HRC were interested in signing me, I knew that I wasn’t going to get a better opportunity. I’ve seen what they’ve been able to achieve on the track, and I’ve heard nothing but good things about them as a team off the track, so this just seemed like the perfect time to come back to the world championship series and try to continue my previous world championship success into the MXGP class. I know it won’t be easy, and there’ll be a big learning curve to get used to the Honda CRF450R, but I’m confident in my abilities and I can’t wait to get started!”

Jamie McCanney steps back from EnduroGP competition
After a successful debut season with the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team, Jamie McCanney has made the decision to step back from EnduroGP competition at world championship level after 14 years. The Manx racer will now move into a new role as Rider Coach for the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team, bringing his wealth of experience to support the next phase of Triumph’s enduro project.
Jamie McCanney
“After 14 years of racing at world championship level, I feel the time is right to pass the baton to the next generation and focus my energy on helping others achieve their goals. It’s never an easy decision to step away from competing in EnduroGP, but I’m proud of what I’ve achieved and incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported me throughout my career. To finish my professional racing journey representing such an iconic British brand has been a privilege, and I couldn’t think of a better way to close that chapter than with Triumph. Now, I’m excited to begin this new role as Rider Coach with the Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team. My focus will be on supporting our riders day-to-day, both in training and at the races, helping them perform at their best and continue pushing the development of our TF 250-E and TF 450-E machines. I’ve learned a lot over the years – from the highs of world titles to the challenges of injuries – and I want to use that experience to guide and support the team. A chapter has closed, but a new and exciting one has opened, and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”
Jamie McCanney
McCanney, who has enjoyed a remarkable career including two World Championship titles and victories across both British Enduro and International Six Days Enduro competition, joined Triumph at the start of 2025 to race the TF 250-E in the FIM EnduroGP World Championship. Over the course of the season, he delivered consistent results in Enduro1 and helped the team achieve several milestones during its debut year. His understanding of the demands of world-level enduro and his technical insight into the TF 250-E make him an ideal fit for his new position.
In his new role, Jamie will provide day-to-day rider support, ensuring the team’s riders have everything they need to perform at their best, both in training and throughout the racing season. He will be a key link between riders and management, helping guide them through their preparation and the unique demands of EnduroGP competition.
Alongside his coaching responsibilities, McCanney will continue test and development work with the team, specifically the ongoing race development of the new TF 450-E. He will also compete in the British Enduro Championship to defend his title aboard the TF 450-E, continuing to represent Triumph on the national stage.
Jamie’s appointment also allows Team Manager Paul Edmondson to focus more resources on the overall development of the team, while providing riders with a dedicated point of contact for performance and training. This mirrors a structure used in other racing disciplines, where experienced racers like Clément Desalle have transitioned into similar roles.
Paul Edmondson – Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team Manager
“I’m really happy to continue my journey with Jamie, both as a friend and now as our Rider Coach for next season. He brings so much knowledge, experience and passion for the sport, and that will be a huge benefit for the team and the riders as we continue to grow and push forward. Jamie has been at the highest level for many years, he understands the pressures, the preparation and what it takes to compete week-in, week-out, so having someone like that supporting our riders day-to-day will make a real difference. He’ll also continue to ride and defend his British Enduro Championship title on the TF 450-E, which is great for us in terms of ongoing development of the bike. This is a natural step in his career, and an exciting one for the team, and I’m really looking forward to working closely with him in this new role as we head into 2026.”

Romain Febvre visits Kawasaki’s Kobe offices
Romain Febvre and the KRT Team Manager Antti Pyrhonen received a hearty welcome in Japan when they visited Kawasaki’s Kobe offices and Akashi factory recently.
Romain Febvre
In the aftermath of the final MXGP in Australia and the MX of Nations in the USA, Romain and Antti faced another important trip as they flew to Japan to share vibes with all of the people who work hard far from the tracks to provide the best material to the Kawasaki Racing Team which was so successful this season.
Romain Febvre
“It was great to go there for a few days to celebrate the title, to meet some of main figures of the company, and to spend time with all the people who work in the background. We spent two days at the factory, then we had one day of testing on the factory bike that they have in Japan, and that was really interesting as it has several differences to the bike we have in Europe.”
As in 2015, when he won the world championship for the first time, Romain was enthusiastic to race the final round of the All Japan Championship which was also part of his programme during the trip.
“I had good memories from this track and we planned the trip so I could participate in this final race of the season. Everything was great and to win there with the Japanese series race bike was perfect as we learnt some points for next season and that’s important,” added the MXGP world champion, who is already fully focused on defending his title next season.
“To win this second title has given me a lot of energy for the future! With a good winter the goal will be to claim a third title for sure. I will race with the number 1 on my Kawasaki; it’s a new challenge and I know that the motivation to win races will be there again after a good winter.
“Next season many new riders will arrive in the MXGP class and many will change team and bike while I know my bike and all the people in the team perfectly. With so many changes elsewhere maybe it’s the perfect moment to try to beat them again as they will probably need time to adapt to their new bikes.”
For KRT team manager Antti Pyrhonen, the visit to Japan was another opportunity to interact with the staff and further strengthen ties with the factory at the start of their fifth season of close collaboration.
Antti Pyrhonen
“I want to thank all of the people at KMC for organising such an amazing trip and the warm welcome they gave us, also a real lifetime experience and ceremony organised by the Kawasaki Motors Company President, Mr Ito. To see all the technology Kawasaki has in Japan gives us huge confidence to know we will continue to have the best bike and support in the years to come. The cherry on the cake came when Romain won every moto of the final round of the Japanese Championship at Sugo with the support of the Kawasaki R&D team. Thank You – Arigatogozaimasu.“

Yamaha ready for AUSX Open
This weekend sees Australia’s biggest supercross, the AUSX Open at Marvel Stadium, come to life, where over 40,000 fans are expected to flood into AFL’s sacred ground and turn the pristine grass into a dirt bike rider’s dream.
The Lawrence brothers are back on home soil for a special appearance and looking to improve on last year’s performance, while the usual Australian teams and riders test themselves against the best in the world.
Friday will have the Fan Fest again, starting at 1pm, which allows the public to get up close and personal with the riders and bikes before Saturday sees a day full of action with big money and championships on the line.
SX1
Mitchell Harrison is the best placed of the Monster Energy CDR Yamaha riders, sitting in fifth after the first three rounds. Harrison took some time to get adjusted to the YZ450F and the Australian conditions, but certainly stepped up his game at round three and was on track for a podium result on the night until he fell in the last lap of the final race.
Mitchell Harrison
But that hasn’t dampened his confidence and he expects no less than to be racing up the front this weekend at Marvel and looking to get himself inside the top three for the night and in the championship.
It’s been a wild ride so far for Aaron Tanti, who has shown good bursts of speed but has been marred by crashes and costly mistakes. Tanti will be looking to put together a consistent night to elevate him from his seventh place in the current standings.
Phil Nicoletti is back, and not only will he be teaching the YZ65 Cup kids about New York street smarts, he will also be looking to make his mark on the track. Bad luck seems to have followed the popular US-based rider, but he is looking to bounce back strongly at the final two rounds and show he still has what it takes to win at the highest levels.
SX2
The Monster Energy Yamalube Yamaha Team has started the series with a bang and currently hold the top two positions in the class and three of the top five, with Lux Turner leading after round three and Ryder Kingsford sitting in second place. Jayce Cosford is in fifth.
Lux Turner
Californian-based Turner has been an unexpected surprise since landing in Australia. He has won the opening three rounds, combining good speed, early race aggression, with good starts and consistency. His early-season form sees him hold a 26-point lead in the SX2 class, but with two rounds and four races to go, he knows the work is far from done and will require the same effort and energy to finish off the championship.
Ryder Kingsford came alive in Cronulla. After a so-so start at Redcliffe, Kingsford laid his cards on the table at round three and rocketed to a 1-2 finish on the night to just miss the round win but elevate himself to second in the championship. The near miss has motivated him more, and Kingsford will be out to win the Marvel round and continue to establish his name on the world stage.
For Jayce Cosford, he is touch and go if he will be on the start line this weekend. While contesting a supercross in Germany two weeks ago, Cosford fell and injured his shoulder, and the team is hoping he will be fit for the weekend.
SX3
Ryder Malinoski isn’t here to make friends. He made that clear at Cronulla when he confronted a rival post-race and gave him a few choice words before standing on the top of the podium.
The US-based young gun returned to the US between rounds three and four and will come back with renewed confidence, knowing exactly what to expect Australia. He is less than 20 points off the lead after a rough opening weekend, but is desperate to make up the ground and willing to lay it all on the line to make it happen.
For Monster Energy WBR Yamaha team regulars, Koby Hantis and Ky Woods, it’s been a frustrating supercross season so far. Both have shown moments of excellence but have not put enough laps together to claim a top result at the opening three rounds. But things can change quickly, and both riders have been hard at it in recent weeks, looking to turn their form around and get back up the front, where they belong.
85cc
The GYTR Yamaha Junior Racing duo of Blake Bohannon and Deegan Fort claimed the top two positions at Cronulla and will be out for the same result at Melbourne this weekend.
Bohannon has turned heads as he has adjusted to supercross quickly and showed skill and maturity beyond his years. He has won the first three main events in the 85cc division, but is still trying to improve with every race.
Fort had a crash-filled night at Redcliffe but rebounded well to take a second-place finish at Cronulla. Like Bohannon, he is getting better each time he hits the track, and there is no reason to think that won’t continue this weekend.

Purvis and Draper top NZMX opener
The Yamaha Motor New Zealand Motocross Championship’s first round was a huge success for Yamaha, with Altherm JCR Yamaha riders dominating the podiums, winning both MX1 and MX2 classes.

Defending MX1 Champion, Altherm JCR Yamaha’s Mangakino legend Maximus Purvis was untouchable all day, going 1-1-1, with Josiah Natzke and Jack Symon rounding out the top three respectively.
In the MX2 class, the Altherm JCR Yamaha riders James Scott (Oparau) and new recruit Hayden Draper were the main contenders for race glory on their Yamaha machines.

Karaka’s Draper eventually took the top spot, with two wins and a fifth place on his YZ250F giving him a slim two-point lead over teammate Scott.
Draper says he was, ‘so stoked with [his] weekend,’ in what was his first New Zealand Championship round with the Altherm JCR Yamaha team.
Scott was back competing for the first time since he injured his knee seven months ago. He had surgery and recuperated over winter. Riding consistently he well and truly hit that target, with his 2-2-3 scoresheet giving him an impressive runner-up result for the first round, while Alexander Brown was just two points off in third.
Phoenix van Dusschoten topped the MX125 results, ahead of Carson Carroll and Ethan Carleton, while the MX3 Cup round win went to Dekan Harris, Dylan Marshal second and Mikalya Griffiths third.
Nixon Coppins took out the MX85 Cup win, well clear of Eli Giles and Levi McMaster.

Kevin Gallas wins Addax Rally
Ténéré Spirit Experience rider Kevin Gallas produced a strong performance to emerge victorious from the final day showdown at the Addax Rally, although it was disappointment for Ténéré Yamaha Rally Team’s Alessandro Botturi, as the Italian suffered a technical issue, ending his stage early and denying him the chance to fight for the win.
Kevin Gallas – P1 Overall – Ténéré Spirit Experience Rider
“This feeling is incredible! I feel so sorry for Alessandro, as we have enjoyed a superb battle over the last five days, and he did not deserve to end like this. He led out today’s stage, and I started second, three minutes behind, so I planned to catch him and stay with him, then try to manage the race. I knew if I did this, I would win. I had a great feeling with the bike, and despite a few mistakes, everything was going to plan. When we reached the refuelling point, I saw that Alessandro was just one minute ahead of me, but had an issue and could not continue. From there on, I decided to ride with Mike, as I was going for the overall victory, and he was pushing for the stage win. We worked well together, and even though we had some issues with the roadbook and got a bit lost, Mike managed to find the waypoint, and we got into a nice rhythm, taking turns leading, and I just enjoyed the last km. I want to thank Yamaha and the TSE for such an incredible five days. The bike was amazing the whole rally, and for my second desert rally, given that I am still learning, it was an amazing experience. I feel I have made a big step in the right direction. I am thrilled and can’t wait for my next race.”
Kevin Gallas
Stage 5 of the 2025 Addax Rally featured a 283 km timed special that would see the Ténéré Yamaha Rally Team’s Botturi, and Ténéré Spirit Experience (TSE) rider Gallas face off against each other for the win. Heading from Merzouga to Merzane over dunes, oueds, rocky tracks, and dusty trails, the scene was set for an epic showdown with only one minute and five seconds separating the duo, and with them both enjoying a fifty-minute advantage over the next rider.
Botturi led off and set a strong pace, with Gallas starting in second, three minutes behind. The German planned to try to catch the Italian on his Ténéré 700 Rally and stay with him for the rest of the stage to manage his lead. He knew if he did this, he would win.
Botturi, on the other hand, needed to claw back time, and they both arrived at the refuelling point with hardly anything to separate them. Sadly, this was where the brilliant battle would end. Botturi had noticed a technical issue with his bike, and because the team were treating this race as a test, they did not want to damage it further. He was forced to stop and could not complete the stage.
Gallas then rode with fellow TSE rider Mike Weidemann for the rest of the stage to bring it home, as he completed the timed special in second, with Weidemann securing the stage victory. This meant Gallas took the overall win, a feat all the more impressive given it was only his second desert rally.
Kevin Gallas
After 1,468 km over some of the harshest terrain known to man, Gallas had set a time of 25 hours, 17 minutes, and 53 seconds to clinch a dominant victory by a margin of one hour, 42 minutes and 46 seconds in the end.
Botturi, after incurring penalties for stopping on the final stage, ended the rally in 11th overall, while Weidemann, who sadly failed to finish Stage 2 and therefore also suffered from a raft of penalties, was 13th. His TSE teammate Bertrand Gavard finished in 23rd after the French rider was also awarded the maximum time penalty for failing to finish Stage 4.
It was a superb Addax Rally for Yamaha, not only securing the overall victory, but with a Ténéré winning four out of the five stages, and locking out four of the top five places in the Race 3 category for twin-cylinder bikes.

Honda dominate Baja 1000
In an epic conclusion to their SCORE International Desert Championship efforts, SLR Honda collected the Pro Moto Unlimited win in the Baja 1000 over the weekend, capping off an undefeated season for the team, earning them the 1X plate for 2026. It was the seventh win for SLR Honda in the legendary event, including the last two in a row.
SLR Honda top 2025 Baja 1000
This year’s 854-mile Pro loop course started in Ensenada and followed the Pacific Coast south to San Quintin before crossing the Baja Peninsula and following the Gulf Coast north, then crossing back over to finish in Ensenada.
SLR Honda’s Tyler Lynn left the start line at midnight on Thursday night and proceeded to put in a Herculean effort over the next nine hours, building a lead of 18 minutes while riding the first 450 miles (including six hours at night)! David Kamo took over and rode to mile 630, and Carter Klein then rode the final 224 miles, finishing with a winning time of 17 hours, 55 minutes, 39 seconds—over two-and-a-half hours ahead of the second-place squad (Hero Racing—another Honda-mounted effort and last year’s SCORE champion).
SLR Honda top 2025 Baja 1000
Red Riders took the top 16 positions in the motorcycle classes’ provisional overall results, and SLR’s latest victory extended a pair of records for Honda over the course of the Baja 1000’s 58-year history: most overall motorcycle wins by a manufacturer (34) and most overall motorcycle wins by a model (18, for the CRF450X).
SLR Honda top 2025 Baja 1000
Other motorcycle classes that were topped by Honda-mounted teams included Pro Moto 30 (led by Jason Alosi), Pro Moto 40 (Shane Esposito), Pro Moto 50 (Mike Prunty), Pro Moto Limited (Ana Rivas), Pro Moto Ironman (Larry Serna) and Sportsman Moto (Arnaldo Casteneda).
Honda also enjoyed success in four-wheel racing, with RaceCo Honda/Pedder Racing drivers Ricardo Torres, Chris Arreaza, Mikey Sandoval and Corey Susag topping the Pro UTV N.A. division in their Talon 1000R side-by-side for the second year in a row. In addition, Honda ATV riders won several classes, including Pro Quad (Faelly Lopez), Sportsman Quad (Gabriel Vasquez) and Pro Quad Ironman (Aaron Kosins).
Thomas Herrick has become a two-time Pro 450 Yamaha BLU CRU Aussie Flat Track Nationals champion, taking the Bunda Fine Jewels trophy ring on Sunday’s Round Seven of the AFTN at Balcary Park.
Thomas Herrick
Herrick finished a safe fifth for the round on a day where Cameron Dunker was unbeatable, the ASBK Superbike star from Kurri taking Superpole and every race win.
In Junior Lites, Jed Fyffe closed out the title with third for the round, with chief rival Neiko Donovan the victor on the TT track and Sam Drane second.
Jed Fyffe
Beau Baker regained form on Sunday to seal the Junior 85s title, but it was Flynn Beard who scored his second TT round win of the year.
Sam Hollands continued his dominance in Clubman Open, taking both the round and title in convincing style.
Sam Hollands
The Pro 450 round win for Dunker capped off an impressive season for the Townsville-based Franko’s Race Shop, which also prepared championship-winning machines for Fyffe and Baker.
Round Seven – TT Track
Cameron Dunker (Yamaha) emerged from the Gunnedah TT track undefeated, scoring four victories on Sunday to beat out local Daniel Wicks (KTM). The final round was all about the championship outcome; however, Thomas Herrick now holds a decent points lead over Wicks.
Cameron Dunker
As the rain cleared, the tireless Gunnedah Motorcycle Club crew began preparing the track, and the mood lifted with news that former points leader Tom Armstrong’s condition had improved overnight following his crash the day before.
Dunker came out firing, two seconds clear of Michael Kirkness (Honda) in the opener and backed that up with a three-second win over Wicks in the second event.
Thomas Herrick
Dunker stepped it up a notch for a five-second win over Kirkness in the third race and completed his dominant display with victory over rising star Cooper Archibald in the final race.
Dunker was a standout, showing extreme pace all day while Herrick rode an intelligent four races to come home in fifth and seal his second championship.
Thomas Herrick – Pro 450 Series Champion
“The year didn’t start out too well at Maryborough, but then to carry through all these rounds plus a trip to America, it has been a long season and I’m grateful to finish on top. Yesterday I was really happy with the way I rode..today I didn’t feel like I had enough in me but we made it work in the end and got the job done. I think if it wasn’t for Tommy Armstrong having an unfortunate crash yesterday things might be different. Big shoutout to him, he’s been riding awesoem and he’s a great mate, I hope he heals up ok. I’d also like say a massive thanks to my dad Darren for his tireless work preparing this bike, he’s developed the bike from day one and put in so much time and effort as well as my beautiful partner Zoe who is always out supporting me and all the guys at Davies Motorcycles. Maybe a three-peat next year!”
Thomas Herrick
Cameron Dunker – Pro 450 Round Winner
“Today was nothing short of perfect for me, really! Superpole and four race wins which is pretty cool, that’s the first time I’ve ever done that in flat track. I can’t thank Franko, Adam and Fyffey enough for getting this bike set up awesome. Also the guys prepping the track, they did an incredible job all weekend and to be on tracks like this definitely creates great racing. Big thanks also to Dave for running an amazing series. I look forward to coming back next year and seeing if we can go a few places better.”
Strong results on Saturday’s flat track round set Jed Fyffe (KTM) up for the Junior Lites title, eventually winning by 40 points over TT round winner Neiko Donovan.
Jed Fyffe – Junior Lites Champion
“It feels awesome,” Fyffe said. “We’ve worked hard for this but I’ve been consistent. I’ve been training all week, every week, going out riding and making sure I get enough bike time. Neiko rode well all year and made it tough for me, but we got there in the end.”
Jed Fyffe
Donovan shared two wins apiece with pole sitter Sam Drane, with Fyffe on the podium in every race to top off an exciting year-long rivalry.
Beau Baker
Beau Baker (KTM) recaptured form on the TT track at Gunnedah to take third for the round and a 101-point victory in the title race.
Beau Baker
“I don’t feel like I rode my best this year, but it does feel good to finish of 85s with an Aussie title,” Baker said. “I struggled on oil at Griffith so I knew this weekend would be challenging but I managed to get enough points up to keep my lead.”
Beau Baker
Flynn Beard took out the round with two race wins with Brody Ford and Lucy Heaton-New the other winners on the TT track.
Sam Hollands
Sam Hollands (Honda) continued his triumphant return to racing by sealing the Clubman Open title with second place at the Gunnedah TT round.
Sam Hollands – Clubman Open Champion
“It’s been a good year but I didn’t think I was going to get on the podium, let alone win it!” Hollands admitted. “I was talking to Tom Armstrong before the first round and I said I’d be happy with a top five. I’d like to thank my mum and dad, Nathan Reece and also Tom. We were riding nearly every weekend back home…I’m really glad to hear he is going to be alright. Like Tom, I didn’t race for twelve years and I hadn’t raced on a 450. We’ll definitely come back next year and go up a class.”
Sam Hollands
Rhys Irvin and Cooper Carnie were also stand-outs, with Irvin grabbing every race win on the TT track.
Dave Maddock – Series Organiser
“Firstly, I’m relieved to say that Tom Armstrong’s injuries, while serious, aren’t as bad as we initially feared. It was a heavy crash but it looks like he will be able to make a gradual recovery. The racing certainly didn’t disappoint and I’d like to offer some huge congratulations to Tom Herrick on winning his second ring. He showed great speed on the flat track on Saturday and is always a fierce competitor. Junior Lites showed the younger generation are coming for the older guys! Jed Fyffe and Neiko Donovan put on an awesome display with Sam Drane as a perfect international level yardstick. In Junior 85s it was great to see Beau Baker find form on Sunday. He’s been so strong all year and we are looking forward to see how that whole field progresses in the coming years, particularly Lucy Heaton-New who really stuck it to the boys. Sam Hollands was in a class of his own in Clubman Open this year, but we’ve unearthed some exciting new talent in Rhys Irvin and Cooper Carnie. Cooper needed an age exemption to race this season, he will be one to look out for in the coming seasons. We’ve been very proud this year to take the AFTN series to some new areas and the response from the Maryborough, Albury and Griffith regions has been amazing. The clubs that are involved have gone above and beyond at every round, especially Gunnedah this year when the weather really threatened to derail the weekend! The planning for the 2026 season is well underway and what I can say is the locations and dates will be similar to this year and we look forward to sharing the details with everyone in due course.”
The organisers of the Yamaha BLU CRU Aussie Flat Track Nationals series thanked all supporters, clubs, volunteers, and competitors for making this another successful year of flat track racing, inviting everyone back for the 2026 season.
The penultimate round of the 2025 Aussie Flat Track Nationals took place on Saturday, with Round Six marking the final Flat Track layout of the year, ahead of Sunday’s Round Seven TT final. It was Thomas Herrick topping the leaderboard after championship leader Tom Armstrong crashed heavily in the opening race, ruling him out of further participation over the weekend.

Herrick took two race wins to seal the round ahead of Michael Kirkness, with Cameron Dunker in third after taking victory in the opening race.
Sam Drane showed the benefit of his international experience by taking out a close battle with Jed Fyffe in Junior Lites, while George Holmkvist showed consistency to grab the Junior 85s round win.
Ashley Wilesmith secured the first-ever Pro Twins Australian Flat Track Championship this afternoon, coming out on top after three rounds and nine races across the series.

Luke Gough put on a show for the crowd today, riding an Indian FTR 750 to three victories in what is believed to be the first ever time this model has raced in Australia.
Round 6 – Flat Track Layout
Current Pro 450 champion Thomas Herrick (Husq) had his best form on show on the tricky Balcary Park flat track, starting the day with five points to take out Superpole. ASBK Superbike star Cam Dunker (Yamaha) took out the opening race after a restart following a serious crash to points leader Tom Armstrong (Honda).
Thomas Herrick – 2025 AFTN Round Six, Gunnedah – Image by RbMotoLens
Herrick then showed impeccable lines and speed to clinch the second bout ahead of former champion Michael Kirkness (Honda). Kirkness was determined, however, and made his pass stick in the third race on the final lap to leave Cooper Archibald (Husq) in second and a frustrated Herrick in third.
Herrick showed grit in the final race, withstanding a fierce attack from Kirkness. “The track was very tricky today,” Kirkness said. “In the first turn, there was one big bump that I kept on hitting but if I went inside that, it felt like the front would tuck.”
With Armstrong now ruled out of action for the weekend, Herrick moved ahead in the points with the TT round to be held tomorrow.
Thomas Herrick
“It was a day of firsts for me, first time winning Superpole and first time for the round win. It’s unfortunate what happened this morning with one of my mates, Tommy (Armstrong). I hope he’s resting up and that he’s going to be alright. Hopefully the weather holds off tomorrow and we can have some great racing.”

Sam Drane (Yamaha) and Jed Fyffe (KTM) shared the spoils in Junior Lites to take two wins and two second placings each, with Drane the fastest qualifier. “It’s been a really good day, starting with pole. The bike’s been handling well and I’ve had some fun battles,” Drane said.
Sam Drane – 2025 AFTN Round Six, Gunnedah – Image by RbMotoLens
The pair put on a real show with both displaying clean lines and a high level of racecraft, making passes with ease.
Nate Jaeger (Husq) broke through for three podiums while Neiko Donovan (Husq) struggled on the Balcary Park surface, taking a best of third place in the opening race. Fyffe now has one hand on the year-end trophy with a 62-point lead heading into the final round.
Junior 85s Round Podium 1) George Holmkvist, 2) Lucy Heaton-New, 3) Hugo Holmes – 2025 AFTN Round Six, Gunnedah – Image by RbMotoLens
In Junior 85s George Holmkvist (KTM) backed up his round win at Griffith with another round win on the Gunnedah flat track, consistently mounting the podium as well as one race win. “It was a fun day, I quite like the surface,” Holmkvist said on the podium. “I haven’t been here before and the oil track is a bit different. I figured out the lines in the second qualifying session.”
Lucy Heaton-New (KTM) was another stand out, taking two race wins and moving into second place in the overall points. Championship leader Beau Baker (KTM) languished on the oil surface but still holds a commanding lead heading into the final day of competition.
Former American Flat Track competitor Luke Gough was handed the enviable task of riding Matt Drane’s Indian FTR 750 in the Pro Twins class and Gough said the goal was to simply look after one of the most unique flat track machines in the world and have some fun.
Luke Gough
“It was an absolute pleasure to ride. Thanks so much to Matt for giving me the opportunity to ride it. I had to keep it somewhat smooth and not destroy the damn thing! I’d like to thank my brother for supporting me and putting me on this bike, even though I thought it was a bad idea! I’ve raced against some great guys at great locations, all I can say is bring on next year!”
Luke Gough – 2025 AFTN Round Six, Gunnedah – Image by RbMotoLens
Gough took out all three Pro Twins races while Ashley Wilesmith (Ducati) wrapped up the first ever Pro Twins title with another consistent performance.
The 2025 Yamaha BLU CRU Aussie Flat Track Nationals season concludes tomorrow, November 16, with round seven of the series being held on the Balcary Park TT layout.
Dave Maddock – Series Organiser
“Nobody likes seeing a serious incident in any form of racing, and our thoughts are with Tom and his family. As for the racing today, the competitors showed the class that they have in dealing with changing weather conditions and putting on a great show for race fans. There were many lead changes and new faces on the podium throughout the round, which sets up an impressive showdown tomorrow on the TT track.”

2025 FIM World Supercross Round Two – Vancouver Report
The second round of the 2025 FIM World Supercross Championship was contested in Vancouver’s BC Stadium on Saturday night.
The dirt was a point of consternation among the riders, who complained about the inconsistency and rocks that appeared through the surface as it quickly broke down. It was also more technical than the opening round in Argentina.
Unfortunately, the sole Australian entrant in WSX, Matt Moss, aggravated a pelvic injury during practice that forced him to withdraw from the event. The 37-year-old hopes to be fit enough to race round three in Australia late this month.
Eli Tomac and Jason Anderson were side by side down the first rhythm section, but it was the Suzuki man that got the early run to start stretching away up front as Vince Friese challenged Tomac on the opening lap before slipping down the order.
FIM WSX 2025 Round Two – Vancouver, Canada
Tomac reeled in Anderson across laps two and three before taking the lead halfway through the eight-lap contest. The Coloradan went on to take the chequered flag two seconds clear of Anderson.
Ken Roczen had to recover from a poor start to work his way up through the field and recorded the fastest lap of the race on his way up to third place. The German finished less than a second behind his Pipes Suzuki team-mate Anderson.
Christian Craig took fourth for Quad Lock Honda ahead of Justin Cooper and Joey Savatgy.
Justin Cooper scored the holeshot ahead of Ken Roczen and Eli Tomac when the second Sprint got underway. Cooper and Roczen broke away early as Jason Anderson took it up to Tomac in a battle for third.
FIM WSX 2025 Round Two – Vancouver, Canada
Cooper managed to fend off the advances of Roczen for the first couple of laps before the Suzuki man nosed ahead on lap three. Tomac had broken away from Anderson and then made short work of Cooper as the race broached the halfway point.
FIM WSX 2025 Round Two – Vancouver, Canada
Ultimately, Roczen had the speed to keep Tomac at bay and stretched away to a two-second victory over the KTM man.
Jason Anderson completed the podium a further nine seconds behind. A few bike lengths further back, Joey Savatgy claimed fourth, well clear of Quad Lock Honda team-mate Christian Craig.
The 12-lap main started with Eli Tomac out front, and the KTM man was never headed from there.
FIM WSX 2025 Round Two – Vancouver, Canada
Ken Roczen was mired mid-pack in the early stages of the contest but wasted no time marching his way forward, blitzing past rider after rider to take second place by lap three.
Tomac showed the speed to maintain his advantage up front, preventing Roczen from ever managing to get within striking distance of his KTM.
Justin Cooper had been second early on before being usurped by Roczen and didn’t have the speed to run with the German. Taking the chequered flag thirteen seconds behind Roczen.
Jason Anderson took fourth ahead of Christian Craig and Joey Savatgy.
Eli Tomac won the round overall on 44 points to complete a successful debut with KTM.
Pipes Suzuki riders Ken Roczen and Jason Anderson completed the podium
Malcolm Stewart dominated the opening night of the 2025 Paris Supercross, winning all three SX1 finals at the Paris La Défense Arena to take a strong early lead in the chase for the King of Paris title. The packed venue witnessed competitive racing across SX1, SX2 and Junior classes.
Malcolm Stewart
The evening began with Hunter Lawrence winning Superpole ahead of Stewart, after Jett Lawrence went down early on. It was a sign of things to come on what was a difficult opening night for the Australian brothers; however, an Aussie was on top in SX2…
The Lawrence Brothers
In Final 1, Cooper Webb grabbed the holeshot ahead of Malcolm Stewart, while incidents early on dented the charges of the Australians.
Cooper Webb
Hunter Lawrence got caught up in a turn one pile-up while Jett Lawrence tangled with Tom Vialle in the second as the 25-year-old Frenchman made his Honda debut on home soil.
Stewart passed Webb mid-race after blitzing through the whoops to march away to the win.
Cooper Webb second ahead of Cédric Soubeyras.

Jett Lawrence crashed on lap seven and retired.
Hunter Lawrence also withdrew several laps later after a fall in the whoops.
Cooper Webb
Webb finished second, ahead of Tom Vialle.
Tom Vialle
Cedric Soubeyras’ consistency placed him third on the night after he took a fourth place result in the third final.
Australia’s Luke Clout (Kawasaki) claimed the opening night of SX2, securing the overall after a win and a second in the first two motos, which placed him level on points with Anthony Bourdon (Honda) heading into the final.
Luke Clout
A strong start in the last race allowed Clout to pull clear, while Bourdon recovered to second but could not close the gap. Calvin Fonvieille took third place, further extending his lead in the French SX2 championship.
Luke Clout
The single Junior moto was won by championship leader Yannis Lopez (Husqvarna) ahead of Mas (Yamaha) and Ferrer (KTM).
Sunday
The second night of the 2025 Paris Supercross confirmed Malcolm Stewart as the new King of Paris, 17 years after his brother James last claimed the title in 2008.
2025 King of Paris Podium – 1) Stewart, 2) Webb, 3) Lawrence J.
Stewart’s consistent results across both nights and supremacy through the big whoops secured the overall ahead of Cooper Webb and Jett Lawrence.
Malcom Stewart
After a difficult opening night, Jett Lawrence responded with wins in both Heat 1 and Heat 2.

The final race was led early by Tom Vialle in his first 450 appearance before Stewart moved to the front.
Tom Vialle
Jett Lawrence recovered from a poor start to challenge Webb for second before losing time behind a lapped rider. Stewart held firm to take the final victory and the overall crown.
SX1 Start
Hunter Lawrence was pretty beaten up from a crash on Saturday, which dented his potential on Sunday.
Hunter Lawrence
Both Lawrence brothers were running on standard engines, which left them down on power compared to most of their competitors.
That’s not to take away anything from Stewart’s win, which was widely lauded by his rivals, who admitted that Mookie was on fire and had their measure around the Paris La Défense Arena layout.
SX2 Start
In SX2, Anthony Bourdon claimed the Prince of Paris title after a strong and steady night, finishing ahead of Australia’s Luke Clout, who won two of the evening’s three races but was hampered by a costly crash in the second moto that cost him outright honours.
