Speedway as a career?
Speedway is easy to romanticise: four laps, no brakes, steel shoe and chaos at 130 km/h. What’s less visible is the big picture behind it, the planning, logistics, financial risk and technical precision required to build a career at the top level.
In our in-depth chat, Max Fricke breaks down what “going pro” actually looks like in 2026, from global travel schedules and running costs to engine and staffing spend, track-specific set-up decisions, and how contracts and sponsorships work across multiple leagues. It’s a rare, practical look at speedway as both an elite sport and a business. Check out the yarn below to see what it takes…
Whittle and Peacock to lead Team Australia at 2026 Trial des Nations in Spain
Motorcycling Australia has appointed Chloe Whittle and Ella Peacock to share Team Australia’s management duties for the 2026 FIM Trial des Nations, to be held in Arteixo, Spain, on September 26–27.
Following a competitive application process, Whittle and Peacock will succeed the late Phil (Philip) Whittle, who served as Australia’s Trial des Nations team manager from 2011 to 2025.
Both bring experience across stakeholder communication, logistics, planning, administration and event operations, along with first-hand familiarity with the Trial des Nations environment after attending the event previously.
Motorcycling Australia will again field men’s and women’s teams, with rider applications set to open shortly. Team Australia is also expected to assemble for a pre-event training camp in Spain before travelling to Arteixo in Galicia (A Coruña), a venue known for its technical terrain and changeable conditions, which has previously hosted major Spanish and world championship trials events.
Maxxis renew MX3 sponsorship
MAXXIS will again hold naming rights for the MX3 class in the 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores, extending a partnership that has been in place since the category was introduced in 2021.
The MAXXIS MX3 category remains ProMX’s key junior-to-senior pathway, catering for riders aged 14 to under 18 on 122cc to 150cc two-stroke and 250cc four-stroke machinery. The class structure also allows riders with exceptional results to step up to MX2 from age 15, aligning with FIM age groupings.
Previously known as MXD, the development class has produced a steady pipeline of riders into the senior ranks, with recent champions including Byron Dennis (2023), Jake Cannon (2024) and Kayd Kingsford (2025).
MAXXIS’ motocross range includes the MAXXCROSS MX-ST, with the brand distributed in Australia by A1 Accessory Imports
2026 East Coast MX Series Round Two Cancelled
Round Two of the East Coast MX Series, scheduled for this weekend, March 7-8, has been cancelled and will proceed straight to Goulburn, with the season to run across three rounds.
“Due to circumstances out of our control we are unable to conduct Round 2 of the East Coast MX Series on 7-8 March. We will focus on the next date 16-17 May at Goulburn Motorcycle Club. At this point we have decided not to re-run the postponed rounds and just go to Goulburn for the first round of East Coast MX Series and run at least a three round championship in 2026. Thank you for your patience and continued support.”
Wonthaggi ProMX kick off looms
The 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) is set for a blockbuster season launch, with the Victorian Government confirming its support for the opening round via its Significant Sporting Events Program (SSEP).
Scheduled for 21-22 March, the two-day 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship season opener returns to the iconic Wonthaggi Motocross Track for the sixth consecutive year, continuing a partnership with host club, the Dandenong Motorcycle Club.
The 2026 season opener will feature five classes — Kawasaki MX1, Pirelli MX2, Maxxis MX3, MX85 and Ezilift MXW — alongside the highly anticipated FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup. The international Cup will draw elite female competitors from Australia, New Zealand, the United States and FIM Asia, cementing the event’s reputation as a truly global motocross destination.


Kawasaki secures ProMX MX1 naming rights
Kawasaki Motors Australia has reaffirmed its commitment to the pinnacle of Australian motocross, securing the Naming Rights Partnership for the premier MX1 division for the upcoming season.

Dean Wilson defends UK SX title
Dean Wilson has claimed back-to-back UK Arenacross Tour titles, winning all nine main events across the three-round indoor series.

The championship began at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham on January 31, where Wilson qualified quickest and completed a perfect night by taking all three mains.
A Belfast double-header at the SSE Arena on February 13 and 14 produced the same result, with Wilson again topping qualifying and sweeping the three mains on each night to lock up the title with a clean 9-from-9 record.

Dean Wilson
“So good, the feeling was incredible. To do it again for the team, Armour Vision, St Blazey MX, and the Quad Lock Honda crew is really special. Coming off our win in Australia, it’s been a dream run, and I’m hoping to carry that momentum into Costa Rica. Costa Rica is such a beautiful country, and to be invited to race here is a real honour. A big thanks to Pasión MX, Honda Costa Rica, and the Quad Lock Honda Team. Also, shoutout to my guy at SKDA for the Costa Rica-inspired graphics, he nailed it. I’m excited to get in front of the fans, put on a show, and have some fun.”

Zanchi injured in training
After riding the new Desmo250 MX to the podium in the first round of the Internazionali d’Italia in Alghero and completing his winter preparation, Ferruccio Zanchi suffered a training accident that will keep him off the bike for several weeks, forcing him to miss the first round of the FIM Motocross World Championship, taking place this weekend in Bariloche, Argentina.
In his place, the Beddini Racing Ducati Factory MX2 Team will field Simone Mancini, who will make his first appearance at the world championship and debut the Desmo250 MX in the MX2 World Championship.
Mancini will then take part, as already planned in his program, in the first round of the 2026 EMX250, scheduled for Almonte in Spain on March 22.

American Flat Track to kick off at Daytona March 5-6
Following months of planning, preparation, and testing, the rubber is finally about to hit the dirt. The 2026 Grand National Championship will officially get underway when the stars of American Flat Track kick off a brand-new campaign with the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA I & II at the DAYTONA Flat Track on Thursday, March 5, and Friday, March 6.
More than two dozen of the world’s most elite motorcycle dirt trackers representing eight different brands will compete in the spotlight as a half-million enthusiasts flock to Daytona Beach, Florida, for the 85th annual Bike Week.
For the first time since 2020, a Mission AFT SuperTwins pilot will be brandishing the #1 plate in the premier class for the very first time. Defending champion Dallas Daniels (No. 1 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07) has long imagined this day and admitted to putting considerable thought into crafting just the right look for his new number display.

Piloted by two-time Grand National Champion Briar Bauman (No. 3 RWR/Jacob Construction/ Parts Plus Harley-Davidson XG750R) and perennial contender Brandon Robinson (No. 44 Mission Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R), Harley led the manufacturers with nine wins a year ago. Bauman alone claimed a class-leading eight while Robinson at last scored the XG win he first set his sights on back in 2017.
The two finished second and third in the title fight and closed out the ‘25 campaign with a rousing 1-2 at the Lake Ozark finale, repeating the coup they pulled off while giving the bike its first victory earlier in the season on Yamaha’s home turf in Senoia. Bauman and Robinson are armed with Harley-Davidsons again in 2026, and they’re bringing reinforcements.
Triple KICKER AFT Singles king Kody Kopp (No. 12 Latus Motors Racing Harley-Davison XG750R) is back in the series full time and at last making his Mission AFT SuperTwins debut. Supported by an all-star crew, Kopp has everything he needs to fight his way into the mix early and often.
Meanwhile, two-and four-wheel dirt track ace Aidan RoosEvans (No. 26 FRA Trust Advisors Harley-Davidson XG750R) will also graduate to premier-class competition in 2026 aboard a Harley-Davidson XG750R.
Trent Lowe (No. 48 American Honda/Mission Foods Honda CB750 Hornet) powered Honda to its first twin-cylinder premier-class victory in more than a quarter century in 2025. That performance both marked the bike’s arrival as a full-blown SuperTwins threat and provided the team with added motivation to make the most of the offseason in order to prepare for bigger and better things in ‘26.
Davis Fisher (No. 67 Rackley Racing/Bob Lanphere’s BMC Racing KTM 790 Duke), meanwhile, collected multiple podiums in his debut season on the KTM en route to yet another top-five championship ranking. Fisher is well-positioned to build on what was originally expected to be a learning season, returning to pilot the Rackley Racing KTM alongside Ben Lowe (No. 25 Rackley Racing/Roof Systems KTM 790 Duke).
Brandon Price (No. 92 Memphis Shades/Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07) and Declan Bender (No. 70 Memphis Shades/Vinson Construction Yamaha MT-07) have each notched up podium finishes for On The Box Racing in recent seasons. This year, they’ll be looking to do so as teammates, as the outfit expands to bring a 1-2 punch to the premier class in ‘26.
Nine-time premier-class Short Track Main Event winner Henry Wiles (No. 911 J&M Logging/Ray C’s Harley-Davidson Kawasaki Ninja 650) is back on the Kawasaki Ninja 650 that he hustled to the podium in last year’s season opener.
And don’t forget about Bike Week legend Sammy Halbert (No. 69 Martin Trucking/OnlyFans/ Castrol Yamaha MT-07), who is tied with Robinson and trails only Daniels and Jake Johnson for most career DAYTONA ST victories with four prior wins.
2023 Nicky Hayden AMA Flat Track Horizon Award and 2024 Progressive AFT Rookie of the Year Evan Renshaw (No. 95 Moto Anatomy X Powered by Royal Enfield 650) has been drafted up to the premier class to contend aboard the official Royal Enfield entry.
And we know that bike is capable of finishing on the box because it did so a couple years ago in the capable of hands of Dalton Gauthier (No. 79 Parts Bros/D&D Cycles/Fairway Ford Aprilia Tuareg 660). Gauthier will now look to turn a similar trick on the Fairway/JMC Motorsports-developed Aprilia.
Dan Bromley (No. 62 Memphis Shades/Lisa Niner Racing Suzuki GSX-8S) repeatedly demonstrated that Suzuki can run inside the top five a year ago – a performance that seemingly tempted the talented Billy Ross (No. 29 Digitrace/Mission Foods/John Franklin Suzuki GSX-8S) to make a go on a GSX-8S as well.
And Yamaha further adds to its combined strength with the entries of Chad Cose (No. 49 Parker Racing/Pro Roofing Yamaha MT-07) and Cameron Smith (No. 34 Fredericktown Yamaha/Thee Kathy Gray Yamaha MT-07).
The 2026 Mission AFT SuperTwins title fight will open with all the usual fanfare and in its standard race format on Thursday night. Friday will then mix things up with the return of the Mission Triple Challenge, which first debuted at last season’s Lima Half-Mile.
The Triple Challenge format, which features three Main Events of increasing length, pressure, and stakes to determine the final results, is destined to deliver an incredibly tense and exciting night of racing when paired with the close confines of the DAYTONA Flat Track.

KTM DM31 Racing 2026 lineup
The title-winning KTM DM31 Racing Team is prepared and READY TO RACE at Rounds 1 and 2 of the 2026 Australian Enduro Championship in Roma, Queensland, next weekend, as the anticipated new off-road season officially takes off between March 7-8.

After an exceptional campaign for the Daniel Milner-led team last year – sweeping the three major AUS Enduro categories and ProEnduro title outright – a new-look trio of Korey McMahon (E3), Jye Dickson (E2), and Jackson Versteegen (E1) are aiming to repeat that type of winning success.
Defending E3 Class champion McMahon is looking to pick up where he left off in the division last year, while also challenging for a first-career ProEnduro crown in 2026 onboard his KTM 500 EXC-F.
McMahon has remained focused throughout the pre-season, spending much time on the bike and further strengthening his skillset across a variety of surfaces, continuing to learn from decorated team owner Milner after he retired from full-time competition at the conclusion of last season.

Korey McMahon
“I’m looking forward to 2026 and being back on the KTM 500 EXC-F, as we have learnt a lot about the bike and about myself in 2025. We’re always looking to progress, so we’ll pick up where we left off last year and continue to build throughout the season, but it all starts at Rounds 1 and 2. I’ve put in a lot of work since the final round last year, and I feel like I’m in a good spot.”
New to the KTM DM31 Racing Team this year is Dickson, another former national motocross talent who recorded a standout season off-road in 2025, highlighted by a P2 finish in the E3 Class standings. Coupled with fifth in ProEnduro, he will pilot the KTM 450 XC-F as he transitions to the E2 ranks.

Jye Dickson
“I’m really excited to be joining the KTM DM31 Racing Team for this upcoming season – it was fun to be able to race Daniel Milner for the last few seasons, and now to have him as a team manager passing on all the years of experience is really cool. I’m excited to get underway at Rounds 1 and 2, where it’ll be important to begin with some solid points to start the season, and it’s as much about consistency as it is speed in Roma next weekend.”
Also, a fresh addition to the official KTM AUS Enduro program is the capable young Western Australian, Jackson Versteegen, who embarks on his first full season of professional racing in the E1 division, equipped with the KTM 250 SX-F. Working with Milner will be certain to fast-track his learning curve, while ensuring experience naturally builds throughout the 12-round series.

Jackson Versteegen
“I’m looking forward to the 2026 season with the DM31 KTM Racing Team! I’m really excited to be working alongside Daniel Milner, as his guidance will be second to none. I’ve already learnt so much this pre-season, and I’m looking forward to carrying this into the season-opening rounds in Queensland next weekend!”
Daniel Milner – KTM DM31 Racing Team Manager
“It’s been a really exciting pre-season this year. I’ve never been in this position personally, so sitting back and watching the boys while helping develop them through testing and bike setup has been really rewarding. At the same time, I’m still able to get out on track with them, put them through special tests and motos, and share what I know it takes to reach the top level. Being a team manager is one side of it, but also acting as a mentor and trainer has been really enjoyable for me. Korey didn’t really have much of a break since the last round, so he’s riding really well right now. He’s super-fit and comfortable on the bike, and because he’s on the same package as last year, we didn’t need to change much – just a few final adjustments to fine-tune things. From where he’s at, I think he’s going to be a real force this season. The same goes for Jye. I’ve always liked his riding style and he’s really gelling with the bike so far. He’s fit, he’s been working hard, and I’m looking forward to seeing how he stacks up in the field – the goal is to have him up there battling Korey or whoever is at the front. It might take a round or two to get fully comfortable racing the KTM, but I think he’ll adapt quickly. And then there’s young Jacko, who is a strong sand rider coming over from WA, but it’ll be a bit of an eye-opener getting thrown straight into E1 after racing as a junior last year! We’ve been working hard with him on hardpack and rocky terrain over here on the east coast – especially rocks, which he wasn’t as comfortable with. The aim has been to build that confidence, so he’s ready to attack Round 1. We’re definitely READY TO RACE in 2026!”

Febvre & Herlings share preseason glory at Dutch International
Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP’s Romain Febvre rounded out his build-up to the defence of his MXGP crown with a 1–2 result at the Dutch International at Lierop, sharing moto wins with local favourite Jeffrey Herlings on the deep sand circuit

Febvre worked his way to the front in the opening moto and controlled the race to take the win, with Herlings second at the flag.
The pair were straight into it again in race two, running at the head of the field and trading positions as lapped traffic came into play. Febvre led for several laps before Herlings edged back in front late in the moto to take the win. With both riders ending the day level on points, Febvre was classified second overall on the tie-break courtesy of the second moto result.

Romain Febvre
“I’m happy with my speed here today as I didn’t have any race since Pernes three weeks ago; you never know if you have a good racing speed or not until you are on the track together with your rivals. My start was not so great in the first moto but I passed everyone to win even if I was still riding a little tense. I was leading in the straight line at the second start but drifted wide in the first corner and both Herlings and Nagl nipped inside me. I got back past Nagl straight away, then I passed Jeffrey too to lead the race but there was so much traffic that I lost time when a lapper got in my way. Jeffrey took the lead again and I lost more time with the lappers but I’m happy with the results and I’m ready for Argentina.”

In other Kawasaki Racing Team MXGP news, Pauls Jonass showed early speed by qualifying second-fastest, but falls in the opening laps of both motos left the Latvian 10th and 9th
Pauls Jonass
“It was quite a challenging day. I was fast in Qualifying but I made stupid errors in the early stages of both motos. I came back from almost last to tenth in the first race but it was difficult to find my rhythm coming through the pack. I crashed again over a jump on the first lap of moto two and had to wait for the entire field to pass before I could rejoin the race. I also stopped in pitlane to straighten the levers before coming back to ninth. Of course I’m disappointed with the results today but now I’m looking forward to Argentina next weekend.”
Over in MX2, KRT newcomer Mathis Valin qualified second on his first visit to Lierop and was running P2 in the opening moto before a heavy fall (no injury) dropped him to sixth. The French teenager recovered to fifth in race two and took fifth overall.
Mathis Valin
“This is a pretty special track; it was a new experience to me and I only had one short practice to learn it this morning. My start was OK in the first race, but it’s difficult to pass here and when I was second I had a crash. It was a spectacular one but I didn’t hurt myself or damage the bike. I didn’t start so well in the second moto and I didn’t find a good feeling with the track so I didn’t take any risks and just took it as a new experience.”
DRT Kawasaki’s Kay Karssemakers also opened his season solidly with 3rd and 6th in the motos, landing third overall.
Next stop is the MXGP season-opener in Patagonia, Argentina, this weekend (March 7–8), the first of 19 rounds on the 2026 calendar.

Garcia takes double win as Cannon makes strong start to MX2 Elite campaign
The Venum Bud Racing Kawasaki pairing of Francisco Garcia and Jake Cannon opened their French MX2 Elite Championship season in style at Castelnau-de-Lévis in south-western France, completing a 1–2 finish in both motos.

The duo showed their pace early by topping their respective qualifying groups in morning practice. As the circuit dried in warm, sunny conditions, they converted that speed into results when the gates dropped.
Garcia moved into the lead in race one and controlled the moto to take the win by almost 15 seconds from Cannon. The Spaniard repeated the performance in the afternoon, securing a second moto victory for a maximum points weekend.
Cannon underlined the KX250’s starting strength with the holeshot in race two, and his 2–2 scorecard left him second overall behind only Garcia.
The meeting also served as a strong hit-out ahead of the EMX250 European Championship, which is contested over the same format: two motos of 25 minutes plus two laps.

Jake Cannon
“This was our first race this year on hardpack so I had a little arm-pump but we are moving forward from my first season in Europe last year. After taking the holeshot I even led for a few laps in the second moto until I made a few mistakes with line-choice, but we’re ready for EMX so let’s see how it goes in Spain in a few weeks.”

2026 Wild Boar GNCC Motorcycle Report
The Moose Racing Wild Boar in Palatka, Florida – round two of the GNCC Series served up a tough, fast-paced afternoon Pro race with fierce battles through the sand, trail and wooded terrain. Top riders would push themselves through the conditions for every position.

Coming through to take the overall win and overtake the points lead was FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Ben Kelley. Kelley would ride a smart, consistent race to take the overall win, leading much of the race and handling the challenging Florida course with precision.
Kelley’s teammate, FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Grant Davis, was hot on his heels for the majority of the day, making a pass at one point for the lead position, but falling back on the last lap. Davis would come through to cross the line second overall and in the XC1 Open Pro class, as he continues to showcase his speed from the front row.
Liqui Moly Factory Beta Racing’s Cody Barnes delivered a breakthrough performance at the Wild Boar GNCC, earning his first-career overall podium in the premier XC1 Open Pro class with a hard-fought third-place finish.
As the Florida sand whoops and tight wooded sections began to take their toll, the former XC2 front-runner maintained a smooth, calculated pace, capitalising on clean lines and minimising mistakes while others faltered. Battling seasoned veterans throughout the three-hour grind, Barnes held steady under pressure to secure the final podium spot.

Just outside of the podium, Phoenix Racing Honda’s Michael Witkowski claimed fourth overall on the day with an aggressive pace, while Liqui Moly Factory Beta Racing’s Josh Strang worked his way to fifth overall in Florida in a hard-fought effort.
AmPro Yamaha’s Kailub Russell continued his charge with a solid sixth overall through the sandy Florida terrain, and Liqui Moly Factory Beta Racing’s Jhak Walker impressed with a seventh overall and a class-leading ride in the XC2 250 Pro class. Walker would celebrate a major career milestone as he earned his first career XC2 250 Pro class win, after putting together a composed and aggressive ride from the drop of the green flag.
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Craig Delong would battle throughout the duration of the race to take eighth overall at round two, while Phoenix Racing Honda’s Jordan Ashburn grabbed ninth overall through the rough Florida course. Rocky Mountain/Red Bear/Kawasaki’s Grant Baylor rounded out the top 10 overall finishers after a gritty performance throughout the three-hour race.

Rounding out the top three XC2 250 Pro class finishers were Race Craft Off-Road/Husqvarna’s Brody Johnson and Kari Resources/Triumph Racing’s Jack Edmondson. Both Johnson and Edmondson would continue to push throughout the race, making the necessary moves through the pack to put themselves in contention for the podium as the checkered flag flew.

NZ MX 2026 titles wrap up with Round Four
Round Four of the 2026 Yamaha New Zealand Motocross Championship at Rotorua wrapped up the season with Maximus Purvis taking the overall MX1 round win on 72 points, three clear of Kyle Webster (69), with Josiah Natzke third on 58.
That result also sealed the MX1 championship, with Purvis finishing the series on 297 points, 49 ahead of Natzke (248), while Jack Symon completed the final podium spot on 216.

Maximus Purvis
“Good feeling and I’m happy as to get the job done again for Josh and the team, finished the season off with winning the championship and winning the round. I felt pretty good on the bike all day and was pretty happy with my riding apart from dropping the bike in the first race.”
In MX2, James Scott claimed the round win on 72 points from teammate Hayden Draper (69), with Madoc Dixon third (49).
Draper still secured the MX2 title, topping the standings on 253 points, eight ahead of Scott (245), with Caleb Ward third on 229

Hayden Draper
“A great round for me, wrapping up the championship with 1-2-2 moto scores. I’m stoked with my season and the whole team. I couldn’t have done it without them. Winning the championship is just starting to kick in now. I’m so stoked.”
MXW honours at Rotorua went to Courtney Duncan with a perfect day on 75 points, ahead of Karaitiana Horne (66) and Amie Roberts (58).
Across the season, Horne clinched the MXW championship on 141 points, with Roberts second (117) and Hannah Perris third (105).

Billy Bolt clinches 2026 FIM SuperEnduro title on home soil
The sixth and penultimate round of the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship saw Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt crowned world champion in Newcastle, United Kingdom. There was further celebration with Poland’s Wojtek Walczak (KTM) winning the FIM Youth SuperEnduro World Cup title.

A 10,000 strong crowd filled Newcastle’s Utilita Arena for the sixth and penultimate round of the 2025/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship in the United Kingdom to witness Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt crowned world champion.
With a strong points cushion built up, Bolt clinched the title in Final 2, before going on to win the SuperEnduro GP of United Kingdom. Earning his sixth world title, Bolt now ties with Poland’s Taddy Błażusiak on the all-time win list.
While Bolt further cemented his status as one of SuperEnduro’s greatest riders, the SuperEnduro GP of United Kingdom marked the beginning of 15-year-old Wojtek Walczak (KTM) sporting journey.
The rising Polish star won the FIM Youth SuperEnduro World Cup thanks to his overall victory in Newcastle. Britain’s Toby Shaw (GASGAS) took the overall win in the Junior class.
Prestige – Superpole
Determined to put his best foot forward to begin his home round of the championship in Newcastle, Bolt was hot off the mark for SuperPole. Despite X-Grip Racing’s Mitch Brightmore setting a strong benchmark time to beat, Bolt made short work of the course under the lights of the Utilita Arena to top the time sheets by a healthy 0.453 seconds.

Beaten only by Bolt, Mitch Brightmore could be pleased by second. Triumph Factory Racing Enduro Team’s Jonny Walker collected the final SuperPole point on offer with the third fastest time.
Making it four Brits in the top four, Ashton Brightmore was fourth, with the Stark Future pairing of Eddie Karlsson and Toby Martyn in fifth and sixth, respectively. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Manuel Lettenbichler completed SuperPole in seventh.
Prestige Final 1
With the Prestige class lined up for the first race of the night, Mitch Brightmore judged the start to perfection and took the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot.

Immediately the fight for first was on, with Brightmore leading Bolt and Walker on lap one. With the support of his hometown of Newcastle behind him, Bolt found a way past Mitch Brightmore in the rock garden and took over the race lead to the delight of the Utilita Arena.
However, Mitch Brightmore maintained pressure, only allowing Bolt to open a three-second lead. But, the X-Grip Racing rider hit trouble, crashing twice within the space of a lap. Capitalising on Brightmore’s mistakes, Walker inherited second position. With Bolt winning Final 1, Walker took second, leaving Mitch Brightmore to pay the price for his mistakes with third.
Prestige Final 2
For Prestige Final 2, it was Fast Eddy Racing’s Harry Edmondson who took the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot in front of his home crowd. Quickly, Walker took up the race lead and built a four-second gap. Bolt gave chase and worked hard to reel the Triumph rider back in.

With the crowd on their feet, Bolt closed the gap. However, Walker held firm and managed to pull away as Bolt crashed numerous times.
Ultimately, Walker went on to claim a deserved race victory over Mitch Brightmore in second, with Bolt forced to settle for third. But third was enough for the Husqvarna rider to clinch the 2025/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship. Crossing the finish line, Bolt celebrated in style with team, family and friends.
Prestige Final 3
With the world title settled, attention turned to who would win the SuperEnduro GP of United Kingdom when the Prestige class lined up for Final 3.

Both Walker and freshly crowned world champion Bolt were tied on points, setting up a winner-takes-all scenario in Newcastle. With emotions still high, Bolt was determined to end his night on the top step of the podium.
Grabbing the Diverse Extreme Team holeshot, he immediately put himself into the lead. Executing a perfect race, he won Final 3 by four seconds.
Behind him, a race-long battle between Walker and Mitch Brightmore resulted in Brightmore taking second, with Walker third. Ashton Brightmore held off Karlsson to end Final 3 in fourth.
Prestige – Overall
Bouncing back in style to win Final 3, Bolt took the SuperEnduro GP of United Kingdom overall victory, capping off an incredible night on home soil in Newcastle.

Thanks to his Final 2 race win, Walker ended his night as runner-up ahead of Mitch Brightmore in third. A strong ride by Ashton Brightmore saw him finish fourth overall in what is only his second outing having returned from injury last weekend in Serbia. Karlsson completed the top five.

Juniors
The SuperEnduro GP of United Kingdom saw Britain’s Toby Shaw (GASGAS) enjoy his best performance of the season to date by winning all three races to win the Junior class overall and with it take the championship lead.
Rising to the pressure of a home round, Shaw began his night in dominant fashion. Taking control of the race lead on the opening lap of Final 1, the young Brit led the entire 11 laps to win by a very comfortable 21 seconds. Behind him, Britain’s Fraiser Lampkin (Beta) put in a solid ride to take second over the United States’ Niko Piazza (Triumph).

Romania’s Marius Popovici (KTM) led early in Final 2, but a hard-charging Shaw was quickly up to speed and pushed his way to the front on lap two. Never headed, he went on to win by almost 13 seconds over Germany’s Henry Strauss (KTM), with Lampkin following him across the finish line in third.
With confidence high, Shaw was eager to end his night in style in Newcastle. Once again, he grabbed the lead on lap one and never looked back. Securing a start-to-finish victory over Spain’s Manuel Gómez (Stark) in second and Lampkin third, Shaw made it three wins to top the overall Junior class podium.
With just the final round of the season remaining in France next weekend, Shaw also becomes the new holder of the 24MX leader plate. With a 2-3-3 scorecard, Lampkin made it a British 1-2 in Newcastle. Improving in Final 3, Gómez completed the podium in third. Strauss and Piazza rounded out the top five in fourth and fifth, respectively.
Youth
Poland’s Wojtek Walczak (KTM) claimed the FIM Youth SuperEnduro World Cup title with a winning performance at the SuperEnduro GP of United Kingdom. As the 24MX points leader from round one in Poland, the 15-year-old put the finishing touches to an incredible championship campaign in Newcastle.

Locked in a battle for the Youth Cup title with Britain’s Connor Watson (Sherco), Walczak needed to deliver a strong ride if he wished to walk away from Newcastle as the overall winner before next weekend’s season finale in France.
Putting up a fight, Watson applied the pressure with a dominant win in Final 1. Recovering from a crash, Walczak battled his way back to second, with Austria’s Luca Kropitsch (KTM) third.
Focusing hard on Final 2, Walczak emerged from the first corner in the lead and set about clinching the overall series win. A crash by Watson put him behind, and despite his best efforts charging through the pack, could only reach as high as second position.
With Walczak winning, the FIM Youth SuperEnduro World Cup title was his, along with the overall win on the night. With Watson runner-up, Kropitsch took third. Spain’s Eneko Martinez (Beta) took fourth overall with two fourth-place finishes, while Germany’s Max Eppelmann (KTM) completed the top five.
The 2025/2026 FIM SuperEnduro World Championship is set to conclude with the season finale next Saturday, March 7, in Douai, France.


2026 AMA Supercross Round Eight – Daytona Wrap
To see extended results see:
Supercross title tightens again after Daytona – Round Eight Recap
The eighth round of the 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship landed at Daytona International Speedway overnight and delivered a little of everything: a landmark win for Eli Tomac, a tightening 450 title fight, a statement ride in 250 East from Seth Hammaker, and even an odd post-race moment that sent Tomac off the podium to get his teeth checked.

Before the gate even dropped, the field was already shaped by injuries, with Chase Sexton and Jason Anderson both missing Daytona. Jorge Prado also remained sidelined, with the 25-year-old continuing rehabilitation and recovery from a right shoulder injury sustained in Seattle. The continuing absence of SMX champ Jett Lawrence remains keenly felt.
Despite the somewhat diminished field, the 450 main still stacked up as a heavyweight scrap, with points leader Hunter Lawrence, veteran charger Ken Roczen, defending champion Cooper Webb, and Tomac all in the mix.
And once it was done, Tomac’s night didn’t end cleanly: on the podium, the trophy came apart as he lifted it, with a large and solid part of it smacking him hard in the teeth, prompting Tomac to leave the podium to have them looked at.

Tomac’s win was significant beyond the championship implications. With his eighth Daytona Supercross victory, the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider became the most decorated winner in Daytona International Speedway history.
That’s the headline. The way Tomac got there was just as telling.
450
Daytona’s 450 main played out on what’s become the venue’s trademark Supercross surface: sandy, technical and constantly evolving, with deepening ruts and line choices changing lap to lap.

Tomac didn’t start at the front. He began the main event in fourth, tucked in behind all of the key players in the championship story.

Hunter Lawrence launched to the holeshot and initially set the pace, but he wasn’t out front for long before Ken Roczen moved through and took control. Cooper Webb settled into third, and Tomac sat just behind, watching how the top three were managing the shifting rhythms and the rutted entries through the sand.

Tomac’s first move came early, when he went after Webb and picked off third. From there, the race hit a phase that Daytona often produces: the leaders compress, because everyone is searching for the same thing, cleaner, faster lines that don’t collapse mid-corner. With about 14 minutes remaining, the front three were running within about 1.5 seconds of each other, and it looked poised for a late-race fight.
Tomac made sure it didn’t get that far.

As the race edged toward the halfway point, Tomac began to capitalise through the sections where he was strongest to move past Lawrence for second, then, on the very next lap, he committed to a high-reward line choice, railing the outside of an option lane, and used it to drive past Roczen in the run to the finish line jump.
With around 12:30 left on the clock, Tomac was in front.
From there, the complexion changed quickly. Once he had a clean track, Tomac opened a multi-second buffer, and the pressure shifted to the riders behind.

Roczen stayed strong in second for much of the remaining laps, but as the race moved into the final five minutes, Lawrence’s persistence paid off. The Australian was patient, kept his laps clean, and took second from Roczen late in the day to hold on to the red plate.
Lawrence was within roughly three seconds of Tomac in the closing stages but couldn’t make meaningful inroads as the clock ticked down. Tomac was methodical once he hit the lead: no drama, no over-riding, just controlled laps to the chequered flag.
Tomac ultimately won by 1.3 seconds over Lawrence, with Roczen third.

Webb rode a relatively solitary race in fourth once Tomac cleared him early, and Joey Savatgy completed the top five.
Tomac’s victory pulled him to within a single point of championship leader Hunter Lawrence.
Roczen and Webb are now tied for third, 20 points off the lead.

Quotes
Eli Tomac – P1
“Somehow, I have won eight Daytona Supercrosses! I just go out there and roost the berms like I’m at my home track – I love this dirt and the way it develops. Of course, I had to work for it there tonight, I went through all my main competition and just had a great time on my motorcycle. I love spraying these sand turns, I’m so thankful to get it done with Red Bull KTM, and to make up some championship points this weekend.”

Hunter Lawrence – P2
“It was a tough [Main Event] on a really tough track. I was figuring out where to compensate with the bike and it just took me too long to do that. In the end, I was kind of making it work, but it was too late, and Eli [Tomac] got his eighth win here. I really wanted to stop that tonight, but I couldn’t make up the difference.”
Ken Roczen – P3
“I gave it my best out there and led for a bunch. I had a really good start too, and in the Main Event that really counts. I was searching a little bit in the beginning; it was a tricky track and a lot faster than what we’ve seen the past few years here. Once I got passed, I knew those guys were maybe a little bit faster, so I tried to hang on and follow some lines. I was right there until the end, and just got messed up by some lappers, and those guys got away a little bit. I just wasn’t the best tonight, but I’m happy with a podium.”

Aaron Plessinger – P6
“Daytona was okay, I just need to focus on myself and continue to improve. Sixth place is not bad, but I expect more out of myself – I know the team expects more out of me and I would like to do better. So I need to go back to work this week and also work at putting myself in better positions. I chose the wrong gate tonight and I got the best jump that I could, although with the gate that I chose, it didn’t do me any favors. I was in the top 10 after the first corner, and then just pushed and made a few passes, but I think if I were in a better position, I would have been fighting for either a podium or a smooth P5. The team is working hard for me – we’ll look at bringing some momentum into Indy next weekend.”
Malcolm Stewart – P10
“Daytona is always a fun race for me. Being at home is nice and yeah, tonight’s Heat Race was good – I had an opening lap that was pretty awesome, so it was cool hearing the crowd cheer for me! In the Main Event, we had a good start, but I got shuffled back a bit after a few mistakes. Daytona is the type of track where if you’re not flowing, it can bite you, and tonight we didn’t have the best flow in the Main. Overall, the positives are that we had good starts and we showed a bit of speed, but we need to improve on maintaining that pace. We’ll keep moving forward and look forward to the next round.”

250 Main
The second round of the Eastern Divisional 250SMX championship produced a very different kind of story: one rider up front in control, and a couple of pivotal moments behind him that reshuffled the podium.

Seth Hammaker came into the night banged up after a heavy crash in afternoon qualifying, but once the gate dropped, he looked anything but tentative. The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider grabbed the holeshot and immediately put himself in the best position possible at Daytona, out of the chaos, with clean lines and free to manage the race.

Jo Shimoda slotted into second early, with a tightly packed chase group behind that included Nate Thrasher, Drew Adams and Pierce Brown.
Key mid-race developments
As Hammaker and Shimoda established themselves at the front, Drew Adams continued what the release framed as a potential breakout ride, making a pass into third.
Behind that, the ride that caught the eye was Cole Davies. The New Zealander started ninth, but quickly became the fastest mover on the track. He picked off riders, passed through his own Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing stablemates, and set about hunting the podium.
Davies made the pass on Adams for third with around six minutes remaining, but Adams then hit the ground not long after, which promoted Pierce Brown into fourth.
The late turning point
With just over a minute remaining, Shimoda went down in the sand at the exact moment he was trying to do two things at once: close on Hammaker and protect second from the hard-charging Davies. Shimoda remounted quickly, but the fall opened the door; Davies and Brown both got through, turning the final minute into damage limitation for Shimoda.
Up front, Hammaker never blinked. He completed a wire-to-wire win by 4.2 seconds over Davies, with Brown taking third. A great bounce back for Hammaker after a hefty tumble earlier in the day.
It was also significant for the season narrative: Hammaker’s win ended the early-season run of Star Yamaha dominance in the class (Yamaha had won every 250 race prior to Daytona).
Luke Clout was 18th quickest in 250 Qualifying and was running seventh in his Heat until misfortune cost him more than 10 positions, ultimately forcing him to the LCQ. Clout was running fifth early on in the LCQ but failed to make the cut after dropping down the order.

250 Quotes
Seth Hammaker – P1
“Today was unreal,” said Hammaker. “The day didn’t start how we wanted. I was fastest in the first qualifying session, but then I had a big crash, and that really tests you mentally — how you respond and come back from something like that. I’m proud of the effort tonight, and the team crushed it. Getting a win at Daytona is super cool. It’s an unreal feeling. Doing a burnout in front of that crowd is something I’ll never forget. Huge shoutout to Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki — the bikes looked awesome this weekend — and to my whole team, my family, my mom and dad, my sisters, everyone who supports me, and Mitch for sticking behind me. It feels really good to get this win and keep the momentum rolling. We’re only two points out of the lead heading into Indy.”
Cole Davies – P2
“They didn’t prep the gates all day, so I didn’t get good traction out the gate and was buried off the start. It was a good comeback. I did what I could. I wanted that win, but still a good ride.”
Pierce Brown – P3
“It was a battle. Not the best start. I took a gamble with my gate, and we chose the wrong one. It happens. We battled and were there late when other riders made mistakes to salvage a third. I can’t be too mad about it. We’re in good shape [in points] and will keep doing our thing.”

Daxton Bennick – P5
“It’s good to wrap up here in Daytona with a P5. I struggled a little bit in Q1, but I really found a flow and got some speed together for Q2 and finished up in third place. My Heat Race was good – we made some improvements in the whoops in between rounds and I think that showed tonight, but we will keep working on that. Then, for the Main Event, I pushed a little wide off the start, which made it hard on myself. I came from around 11th to fifth, so we salvaged good points on what could have been a bad night, which I am happy with.”

SMX Next
Daytona also hosted the third round of SMX Next – Supercross, featuring 22 top A- and B-class amateur prospects. The trend continued: three races, three different winners.
Deacon Denno (Triumph Racing) started strongly, exchanged the lead early with Kade Johnson (Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green), then fought back to regain control and take the win.

Denno won by 4.4 seconds over Landen Gordon (Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing), with Vincent Wey (Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green) third.

Western Australian Kayden Minear claimed fifth.
Denno’s victory was notable as it was his first SMX Next win, and the first for Triumph’s emerging amateur program in the series.
Deacon Denno – P1
“I got the start but then jumped the whoops for the first time after skimming all day and lost the lead. It was a dumb move by me, but I made the pass back. Last year here in Daytona I finished 14th. There’s a lot that’s been done since then and just proves that if you work your butt off you can be up here like I am. I knew I could do it and I put the track together. I’m so stoked.”
