2026 Yamaha Australian Enduro Championship
Rounds 5 & 6 – QLD Moto Park
The 2026 Yamaha Australian Enduro Championship presented by MXstore reached the halfway point at Queensland Moto Park, where Rounds 5 and 6 delivered a demanding mix of hard-pack, dust, rocks, deepening ruts and rapidly deteriorating test conditions.
QMP gave the field a properly Australian bushland examination. Visibility became a factor as dust hung in the air, grip was not always easy to find, and the tracks became rougher with each passing test. A brief shower late on Saturday helped settle the dust momentarily, but the forecast rain never fully arrived on Sunday, leaving competitors to manage a second day on increasingly worn terrain rather than receive a full reset from the weather.
At the front, Wil Ruprecht continued his perfect start to the season with another Pro Enduro and E2 double, but the results alone do not tell the full story. Jye Dickson was closer to the Shop Yamaha Off-Road Racing rider than at earlier rounds, while Korey McMahon again made sure KTM DM31 Racing Team had a serious presence in the outright fight.
Yamaha had plenty to celebrate, with Ruprecht unbeaten in Pro Enduro and E2, Cooper Sheidow winning E1 on both days, Madi Simpson and Jessica Gardiner splitting the EW victories, and Marcus Nowland and Kai Austin sharing EJ honours. KTM’s weekend was led by Dickson and McMahon, who finished second and third outright on both days, while McMahon remained perfect in E3.
The next stop is Casterton in Victoria on June 20-21, where sandier conditions should provide a very different test for the championship contenders.
AusEnduro Pro Enduro
The Pro Enduro outright battle remains the headline act in the AEC, and QMP again showed why. Ruprecht still looks the rider to beat, but Dickson and McMahon were close enough across the weekend to keep genuine pressure on the Yamaha rider.
Saturday began with a clear statement from Dickson. Despite a small crash late in the opening lap, the KTM DM31 Racing Team rider still managed to take the first test win, immediately putting Ruprecht under pressure. McMahon was also right in the mix early, with the E2 and E3 riders setting the outright pace.
Through the middle of the day Ruprecht and Dickson traded blows, with very little between them. The decisive moment came in the fifth test, where Dickson lost valuable time after spending much of the day within striking distance. Ruprecht then had enough breathing room to control the run home and extend his unbeaten sequence.
Ruprecht’s Saturday winning margin was 21.702 seconds over Dickson after more than 73 minutes of timed competition, while McMahon completed the podium in third. Cooper Sheidow was the leading E1 rider in fourth outright, and Kogan Lock edged Deegan Graham by just 0.203 seconds for fifth overall.
Sunday followed a similar pattern, although Ruprecht started more sharply. He won the opening four tests and gave himself the margin to manage the back end of the day. Dickson again kept the pressure on and finally broke through for a test win late in the round, while McMahon grew stronger as the day progressed and topped the final test.
Ruprecht still had the job done by that stage, winning Round 6 by 19.674 seconds over Dickson. McMahon was third again, with Sheidow fourth outright and Lock fifth.
Ruprecht now leads the Pro Enduro standings on 125 points, with Dickson second on 106 and McMahon third on 104. The points picture still favours Ruprecht, but QMP suggested the two KTM riders are closing the performance gap on hard-pack terrain.
Ruprecht said the Queensland Moto Park conditions shared similarities with the previous round at Dungog, with hard-packed dirt, tricky traction and extra rock making the tests technical. He also noted that his rivals had clearly improved, saying he and the Yamaha team could not afford to lose focus despite the perfect start to the season.
Dickson was also encouraged by the weekend, particularly given hard-pack is not normally his strongest terrain. He said he was happy to be in the battle for the outright win all weekend and felt he was taking solid steps forward in those conditions.

E1
With defending champion Jonte Rynders sidelined, E1 has become one of the most competitive classes in the championship. At QMP, however, Cooper Sheidow made the biggest statement with a clean sweep of the weekend.
Saturday began with Sheidow, Deegan Graham, Maximus Purvis and Jeremy Carpentier all locked into a tight battle. Only seconds separated the lead group after the opening test, and the early stages suggested E1 might again be decided by small margins.
Purvis was enjoying one of his strongest starts of the season, running inside the top three in class across the opening tests, but his weekend changed dramatically in test four. The Shop Yamaha Off-Road Racing rider crashed heavily after striking a rock and was left with rib and mid-section pain. He attempted to continue, but later withdrew from the day and sat out Sunday.
Sheidow took control from that point. He maintained a strong pace through the closing tests to claim Saturday’s E1 win by 1:01.303 over Graham, with Carpentier third. Fraser Higlett finished fourth, Stefan Granquist fifth, and Jackson Versteegen seventh on his return to competition for KTM DM31 Racing Team.
Sunday again belonged to Sheidow, although the fight behind him changed shape. Carpentier started strongly and established himself as the closest early challenger, while Graham had to recover from a heavy opening-test crash that cost him almost a minute.
Granquist and Higlett both pushed into the podium fight as the day developed, but Graham worked his way back to third. Sheidow went on to complete the double by 50.578 seconds over Carpentier, with Graham third, Granquist fourth and Higlett fifth.
Sheidow now leads the E1 standings on 117 points, ahead of Carpentier on 103 and Graham on 98. After several injury-interrupted seasons, Sheidow said finally getting on top of his wrist issues has allowed him to ride and race pain-free again, and that he is now enjoying his racing as much as he has for some time.
Cooper Sheidow
“The last couple of seasons, I have had some injuries, and it’s taken me a long time to get back to where I was. I have finally got on top of my wrist issues and can now ride and race pain free and it’s allowing me to get back to full speed. It’s nice to get some good results again on the weekend and I’m really enjoying racing at the moment. The first few rounds have been a lot of fun and I’m really looking forward to racing in some sandy conditions in the next few rounds.”
For KTM, Versteegen’s return was a useful step after missing the previous rounds through injury. He finished seventh on Saturday and eighth on Sunday, using QMP to rebuild race rhythm before the series moves to Victoria.
Jackson Versteegen
“The tracks were definitely challenging and tricky, but the team nailed it again with the bike – it was really good on both days. I’ve got a few things to work on before the next rounds, so we’ll get back to work and come out swinging at Casterton!”
Maximus Purvis
“After Dungog I was pretty disappointed and wanted to bounce back here at QMP. I was feeling pretty good and had some top three in class in the first couple of tests and not far away from the lead. I just needed a couple of seconds, and it would have put me at the top of E1 and inside the top five in Pro Enduro, but I got pretty loose in the fourth test and went down hard. I feel like I have some damage to my ribs and it just made it too difficult to ride. The movement on the bike and then taking big deep breathes was tough, so we elected to sit it out and I will go and get checked out to find out exactly what’s up. Thanks to the team for a big effort. The season hasn’t gone as we had hoped so far, but I will do what I can to be back for the next round and get some decent results in the back half of the year.”

E2
The E2 class again doubled as the outright fight, with Ruprecht and Dickson taking their Pro Enduro battle directly into class competition. Ruprecht remains unbeaten, but Dickson made him work for both wins.
Saturday started with Dickson taking the opening test, before Ruprecht responded in test two. From there the pair continued to match each other across much of the day. Dickson’s pace was good enough to keep the Yamaha rider honest, but his lost time in test five ultimately proved decisive.
Ruprecht won Saturday’s E2 contest by 21.702 seconds over Dickson, with Kogan Lock third. Lock’s ride was also strong enough for fifth outright, underlining the strength of the E2 field at QMP.
Behind the podium, the class battle was tight. Oliver Paterno, Will McInnes and Scott Keegan finished fourth, fifth and sixth on Saturday, covered by only 7.415 seconds after a long day of racing.
Sunday again revolved around Ruprecht and Dickson. Ruprecht made the sharper start, won the first four tests and then managed the margin. Dickson continued to chip away and took a late test win, but Ruprecht’s early work was enough to secure another E2 victory.
The final Sunday margin was 19.674 seconds, with Lock again third. McInnes was fourth, while Brock Nichols produced one of his stronger rides late in the day to finish fifth. Nichols, Paterno, Jake Henderson and Keegan were all packed closely together, with fifth through eighth separated by just 14.199 seconds.
Ruprecht now leads the E2 standings on 125 points, ahead of Dickson on 110 and Lock on 100. The numbers confirm Ruprecht’s control of the class, but Dickson’s pace at QMP showed he is becoming a more persistent threat.
Wil Ruprecht
“The weekend went well and the conditions were good. There were a lot of similarities between the terrain here and QMP and what we raced at Dungog at the last round in that the dirt is quite hard packed and finding traction can be tricky at times. There is also more rock here at QMP which makes it more technical but overall, I enjoyed the weekend and the conditions. The team and the bike were working well and it’s good to keep the momentum rolling after starting the championship so well. I can see our rivals have been putting in a big effort and made some improvements, so we need to keep our foot on the gas and continue to work hard as we still have a long way to go and we can’t afford to lose focus.”
Jye Dickson
“Rounds 5 and 6 were good to me this weekend. We were in the battle for the outright win all weekend long, which was good. We were close, but just a little bit off here and there, but it was another solid weekend. We’re taking some solid steps forward in this hard-packed dirt, which I’m definitely not the most comfortable with.”

E3
Korey McMahon continued to set the standard in E3, winning both days and finishing third outright in Pro Enduro on Saturday and Sunday. It was another strong weekend for the KTM 500 EXC-F rider, even if McMahon felt he left time on the table through mistakes.
Saturday was effectively McMahon’s from the opening test. While Ruprecht and Dickson fought over the outright lead, McMahon established control of E3 and then built a margin that none of his class rivals could threaten.
The main battle was behind him. Max Midwinter had to recover from an early mechanical issue during the sight lap, while Broc Grabham, Max Rikys and Jack Conlan were all part of the early podium fight. As the day unfolded, Midwinter and Grabham emerged as the strongest challengers.
McMahon’s Saturday winning margin was emphatic. He finished 5:10.138 ahead of Midwinter, with Grabham third.
Sunday produced the same winner, but a different order behind him. Grabham’s opening result was compromised by a timing issue, but he quickly returned to the sort of pace expected of him and recovered to second. Midwinter maintained consistent top-three speed to finish third, while Conlan showed flashes of pace just outside the podium places.
McMahon won Round 6 by 3:37.221 over Grabham, with Midwinter third. He now leads the E3 standings on 125 points, ahead of Midwinter on 106 and Grabham on 104.
McMahon admitted he made a few too many mistakes across the weekend, but said the speed was there and enjoyed the intensity of battling near the outright front with Ruprecht and Dickson. He is now looking forward to the sandier Casterton conditions.
Korey McMahon
“A few too many mistakes this weekend, which is a little frustrating, but our speed is there, and we battled at the front all weekend long. It’s really cool to be battling with Jye [Dickson] and Wil [Ruprecht], being within seconds of each other after tests that are over eight minutes long. It was a really good weekend for the team and I – they were amazing and the bike was awesome again. We’re happy to get out of here at QMP and into the sand at Casterton.”

EJ
The EJ class remains one of the most open and interesting fights in the championship, and QMP added another layer to that contest. Marcus Nowland won Saturday, Kai Austin responded on Sunday, and Beau Tripcony left Queensland only two points off the series lead.
Saturday’s contest was lively from the first test. Nowland narrowly led Tripcony early, with Austin and Oscar Harris also in the frame. Tripcony answered in test two, while Mason Phillips also worked his way into the front group as Austin lost time after an issue.
The rough QMP conditions made consistency crucial. Nowland had to overcome mistakes and pressure, but he kept returning to the top of the timing sheets when it counted. Harris also built momentum and briefly tightened the fight with a test five win.
Nowland’s final two tests proved decisive. He won Saturday by 50.213 seconds over Tripcony, with Harris third, Austin fourth and Phillips fifth. Harris and Austin were split by only 1.684 seconds at the finish.
Sunday started with a strong statement from Austin, who opened a 10-second lead in the first test. Nowland, Harris and Callum Gutke were all in the early podium mix, before Tripcony became the major threat late in the day.
Tripcony won tests four, five and six to close rapidly on Austin, but Austin held his nerve to win by 7.267 seconds. Tripcony finished second, with Nowland third, Bjorn Cardenas fourth and Harris fifth.
Nowland now leads the EJ standings on 111 points, but Tripcony is only two points behind on 109. Austin remains well in the hunt on 103, while Phillips and Harris are separated by only a single point in the battle for fourth and fifth.

EW
EW delivered one of the most dramatic storylines of the QMP weekend, with Madi Simpson ending Jessica Gardiner’s Saturday charge before Gardiner responded in commanding fashion on Sunday.
Gardiner looked on course to continue her strong season when she opened Saturday with a solid early advantage. Simpson settled into second, while Emi Ruprecht and Emelie Granquist began their own contest for the final podium place.
The race shifted through tests three and four, where mistakes from Gardiner allowed Simpson to capitalise. Simpson then produced a major gain in test six to keep the pressure high heading into the final test.
The final stage delivered the decisive twist. Simpson charged, Gardiner made another costly mistake, and Simpson secured her first win of the 2026 season by just 3.567 seconds. Emi Ruprecht finished third, only 4.962 seconds ahead of Granquist.
Gardiner’s Sunday response was emphatic. Starting behind Simpson on the road, she caught her by the end of the opening test and immediately took control. From there, Gardiner built a margin that Simpson could not claw back.
Gardiner won Round 6 by 1:52.541 over Simpson, with Madison Healey returning to the podium in third. Healey’s margin over Granquist was 25.455 seconds, while Emi Ruprecht completed the top five.
Gardiner continues to lead the EW standings on 122 points, with Simpson second on 113. Granquist holds third on 92, but Ruprecht and Healey remain close enough to keep that podium fight alive.

The 2026 Yamaha Australian Enduro Championship presented by MXstore now heads to Casterton in Victoria, with Rounds 7 and 8 scheduled for June 20-21. After QMP’s hard-pack, dust and rock, the shift toward sandier terrain could change the complexion of several class battles as the second half of the season begins.
