New Zealand’s Levi Townley nabs EMX125 berth for 2025

Yamaha Motor Europe has announced that the 2024 World 85cc Motocross Champion Levi Townley has agreed to terms with the MJC Yamaha EMX125 Team for the next two seasons. Townley is part of a four-rider team to contest the championship that also includes Dutch sensation Dani Heitink, French rising star Mano Faure, and Belgian standout Jarne Bervoets.

Levi Townley

“Yamaha in Europe supported me at the world junior championships back in August and when I won the 85cc class, we started talking about racing in Europe for 2025. They were happy with my results and asked if I was interested in contesting the EMX 125 championship. We came home from the event, and I rode a YZ125 for the first time and I loved it. So, once we were able to get a plan together and we felt I could ride the 125 at a good level, we decided to do it and it was finalised at the Motocross of Nations.

“It has been an awesome year and at the start of the season I was just hoping to get some experience racing in Australia as well as try and win the New Zealand Championships. It’s all happened pretty fast, and I can’t believe that I’m going to be racing the EMX125 championship next year. Everyone at Yamaha in Europe has been so good and at the Motocross of Nations I got a chance to meet and work with the MJC Yamaha team and that went really well, so I can’t wait to get over there early next year and start racing.”

Levi will have some familiar faces around him as his younger brother Jaggar will also receive support via Yamaha Motor Europe, as will Nixon Coppins, son of former GP racer and NZ Motorsport Manager, Josh Coppins. Both will race their YZ85cc machines as their path to the MXGP circuit begins.

Josh Coppins

“It’s a very exciting time for the Townley family and an opportunity Levi and the family deserve. Levi is an incredibility talented and determined racer while Ben and wife Lucy have done a great job in keeping him grounded. I’m sure the continued guidance from Ben and the support of the MJC Yamaha team will take Levi’s riding to another level. We are extremely proud his achievements so far and also the pathways Yamaha have created via their bLU cRU support that shows no matter where a rider lives, they will be noticed and rewarded if they have what it takes,”

Australian Speedway U21 & U16’s 250cc Championship cancelled

The Australian Speedway Championships has announced the cancellation of the U21s and U16s, quoting a lack of nominations as the cause. See the statement below:

“Unfortunately, due to a lack of nominations, the decision has been made to cancel the 2024 Australian Speedway U21 & U16’s 250cc Championship, originally slated for Saturday, November 23 – Sunday, November 24 at Bowen. Thank you to those who showed interest and we hope to see the event return in 2025.”

AusProMX wildcards expected to play big role in MXGP of Australia

The countdown is on for the Australian return of the FIM Motocross World Championship in 2025, with the MXGP of Australia to be held in Darwin from September 19-21.

As well as the global superstars of the MXGP paddock, the grids in all three classes – MXGP, MX2 and the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship – will be strengthened by the inclusion of multiple wildcards from the Penrite Australian Motocross Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) ranks.

Motorcycling Australia is currently in discussions with MXGP promoter, Infront Moto Racing, on the depth of local representation at the 2025 MXGP of Australia, as well as additional support for selected riders to compete in the MXGP of Turkiye (September 5-7) and the MXGP of China (September 12-14) preceding the Darwin round.

Wildcard opportunities for the 2025 MXGP of Australia will be open to riders from the MX1, MX2, MX3 and MXW (women’s) categories of the ProMX Championship.

Local wildcards featured at both the 2000 and 2001 rounds of the FIM Motocross World Championship in Broadford (Vic), with scintillating breakout performances by the late Andrew McFarlane and Michael Byrne – the team manager during Australia’s recent Motocross of Nations triumph – in the 500cc class opening up opportunities to become global superstars.

By 2001, McFarlane was a factory Yamaha rider in the 500cc world motocross title, while Byrne continued his dazzling career in America where he would soon be joined by the precocious Chad Reed.

More information on the 2025 MXGP of Australia wildcard structure will be announced shortly, as well as details on the national support classes which will compete in Darwin.

Qatar Baja returns to Sealine region this weekend

67 motorcycle and quad riders of multiple nationalities will pass mandatory checks at the Lusail International Circuit before battling it out across Qatar’s sandy tracks, kicking off at the end of this week.

Dubai’s Mohammed Al-Balooshi (KTM) tops the standings on 47 points in the FIM Bajas World Cup, tied with closest rival, Portuguese rider David Megre (Kawasaki), while countryman Pedro Bianchi Prata (Honda) has 43.

After the administration and technical checks, riders will head to a 9.9 km Prologue, which will take place approximately 32 km from Lusail and then move on to the Katara amphitheatre – the jewel of the Katara Cultural Village – for the start ceremony.

Friday (November 1st) will feature two special stages for a total of 245 km, while Saturday’s action heads into the south of the country to the stunning Sealine region and its sand dunes by the sea for the remaining two special stages, totalling 249 km.

Riders will need to complete a total of 504 km of selective sections and 383 km in liaison before returning to the Katara amphitheatre for the prize-giving ceremony.

Of the 67 registered riders, there are 62 motorcycles and five quads. Polish rider Joanna Modrzewska and the Indian Sarak Kashyap will compete for honours in the FIM Women’s category.

Another Pole, Filip Grot (GasGas) is leading the Junior standings with 61 points and will have to compete against Alex McInnes (Husqvarna) and Loris Terrell (Honda).

Twenty-one Veterans will be in the running but it is a safe bet that the experienced Pedro Bianchi Prata (Honda) will be able to pull off a masterstroke and ensure his leadership in the FIM Bajas World Cup standings in the Veteran category. He currently has 91 points.

Ben Grabham wins Kalgoorlie Desert Race

Ben Grabham has taken the Kalgoorlie Desert Race win, leading Brodie Waters across the line by 38.74, with third placed Luke Hayes 4m40.08 off the leader in third.

Of the E3 riders, Grabham topped the class, followed by Luke Hayes and Kent Collins. Waters topped E2, followed by Jackson Versteegen and Mark Richards. Top E1 rider was Zach Seinor in 12th overall, with Darryl Seinor the top Masters in 10th.

Purvis tops New Zealand’s MX Fest from Gibbs

Maximus Purvis has wrapped up the MX1 class at MX Fest, on 122-points for victory ahead of Kirk Gibbs and Luke Maitland. MX2 was won by Cody Cooper, Jared Hannon second and Flynn Watts taking the final podium position.

Maximus Purvis

“Overall, I was pretty happy with my weekend. I’m starting to get back into the groove of things and can’t wait for the season ahead, I’m definitely not up to 100% fitness yet but I’m on track to get there and my knee is feeling back to normal.”

Kirk Gibbs did however claim the Nicky Smith Memorial trophy, winning the Sunday shoot-out and being the last rider left standing.

Kirk Gibbs

“It has been a while since I was last in New Zealand… 2020. Shayne King, from New Plymouth, hit me up about halfway through this year and said he love to kit me out and get me over to race in New Zealand again. I told him I was interested and then it all just happened. There is talk that I may be able to come back over to race the New Zealand nationals in February and March, but we just have to see how it all pans out for me as regards dates in both countries.”

In MX125 Hayden Draper narrowly took the win from Jack Ellingham, Maz Parkes rounding out the podium. Jayden McKenzie won the MX3 category, ahead of Callum Dudson and Jacob Beal. Darrin Capill well clear of Richard Furze in the Vet 45+ class, Dwayne Ramkea third.

Of the Juniors, Levi Townley won the 12-14 125 cc class, Jaggar Townley the 12-16 85 cc/150 cc victor. Hayden Draper made another appearance as 15-16 125 cc winner, Nico Verhoeven narrowing claiming the 8-11 85 cc class from Levi Rodgers. Karaitiana Horne took out the Women’s class, ahead of Miayla Griffiths and Breanna Rodgers.

Hayden Draper

“It was my first time back on a 125cc bike in about 12 months, because I’ve been concentrating on the 250cc class lately. In the first race on the junior day, both me and Jack (Ellingham) crashed in the first corner and we re-joined the race in last position. We both charged through traffic and he got the race win in the end, with me settling for second. That set the tone for the weekend really. With me winning the next two races, it gave me the overall win for the day. I only managed to qualify third fastest in the 125cc class on Sunday’s senior day, with Jack fourth, and I was sort of surprised with that.”

2024 MX Fest Results

Kellett extends Sand Races World Cup lead in France

Defending champion and 2024 FIM Sand Races World Cup series leader in the premier Moto class, Todd Kellett – claimed maximum points from round three of the series – Ronde des Sables de Loon-Plage – the 27-year-old, who led for virtually the full duration of the event, ended the race in second behind Belgian sand specialist Cyril Genot – Honda who is not registered for the series.

The two-and-a-half-hour race was staged on the coast of the English Channel midway between Dunkirk and Calais where Kellett stormed into an early lead in the tough and unforgiving French sand.

After claiming outright victory in the Enduropale du Touquet Pas-de-Calais in France and the Enduro del Verano in Argentina that got the series under way in February, the British rider was looking to extend his seventeen-point advantage over second-placed Dutchman Lars Van Berkel – Honda.

As the race hit the halfway mark, Kellett looked comfortable at the front of the field and although by this point Van Berkel was up to fourth he had slipped to over two-and-a-half minutes behind the leader and while Hauquier was the next registered rider in eighth, he was five minutes adrift of Kellett.

With the seven-kilometre circuit getting increasingly challenging as the race wore on, lap times began to lengthen and on the twenty-second and penultimate lap Genot managed to make a pass stick for the lead.

However, in terms of the series standings the Belgian’s last-gasp effort had no effect and Kellett grew his advantage by another five points from Van Berkel who was the second registered rider across the line in third, although he was over six minutes further back.

Another win for Honda RTL ELECTRIC & Fujinami

Takahisa Fujinami, competing again aboard the Honda RTL ELECTRIC, continued to demonstrate his world champion skills by securing a second consecutive victory at SUGO, Miyagi Prefecture.

He also climbed to 8th place in the overall standings in the MFJ All Japan Trial Championship, securing entry to the upcoming City Trial Japan event, allowing fans to witness his and the RTL ELECTRIC’s prowess for another round.

Takahisa Fujinami

“I aimed for an all-clean run but knew it wouldn’t be easy. In section 3, I took an unplanned step after hitting a rock, which was a big misstep, especially since a single point could decide the outcome. After that, I regained my focus and was able to find my rhythm. Winning two consecutive events was great, especially after having quality time with the RTL ELECTRIC these past two weeks. I’ll give my all at City Trial Japan.”

Connor Hogan wins 2024 GASGAS Australian Trial Championship

GASGAS-supported Connor Hogan has clinched a first-career Trial 1 title onboard his TXT GP 300 in the 2024 GASGAS Australian Trial Championship, recently contested in Ravenswood, Victoria.

After finishing runner-up one year ago, Hogan was able to bring the heat this time around on his GASGAS TXT GP 300 at the epic ‘Ravenswood Run’ location, with this year’s event promoted by the Trials Club of Victoria and attracting a class field of 130 riders.

Following a stint in Europe earlier this year and after representing Team Australia in last month’s FIM Trial des Nations in Spain, experienced South Australian Hogan brought home RED-hot form and managed to capture a well-deserved championship against the country’s best domestic trial riders.

Connor Hogan

“What an awesome event hosted by the Trials Club of Victoria – the section-setter, Tom Scott, built some great sections as he always does. I felt fairly consistent on the bike over the entire weekend, which I like to think helped me get the job done. I’m over the moon to come away with my first Australian title after so many years of working towards it! I’d like to thank everyone this year who has made it possible and GASGAS for providing such a strong, competitive bike!”

GASGAS also featured on the Women’s category podium with Michelle Coleman on her GASGAS TXT GP 250. In total, GASGAS-equipped riders claimed six titles, including young ripper Jack Walling in the Junior (7 to Under 13) category, whose success came courtesy of a clean ride across both Saturday and Sunday riding his GASGAS TXT Racing 125 model.

YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup SuperFinale a huge success

2024 was a monumental year for the YZ bLU cRU FIM Europe Cup, with Yamaha launching its first-ever global SuperFinale. This exciting event, held at the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations in Matterley Basin, Great Britain, brought together young riders from across the globe, including competitors from the USA, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Japan, Argentina, and Brazil.

The cup is no longer just a European event—it has truly become a global platform for the next generation of motocross stars!

Since its launch in 2016, the YZ bLU cRU Cup has become the top gateway for young motocross talents aiming to progress into top-tier teams within the European Motocross Championship.

This program provides a clear path for aspiring riders to climb through Yamaha’s racing structure and ultimately compete at the highest levels. Over the years, Yamaha has nurtured multiple champions, with over half of the current Monster Energy Yamaha Factory riders emerging from this development pipeline.

The SuperFinale brings together the top YZ bLU cRU Cup riders from around the globe in the YZ65, YZ85, and YZ125 classes, giving them a taste of what it’s like to compete at the highest level. After months of intense training and national races, earning a spot in the SuperFinale is the ultimate reward for their hard work and dedication.

2024 Australian Speedway Sidecar Championship wrap

Darrin Treloar is now a 12-time Australian Speedway Sidecar champion after he and passenger Blake Cox triumphed in the delayed 2024 title meeting hosted by the Tamworth Motorcycle Club at their Oakburn Park track last weekend.

On Friday night 16 teams fought it out for the eight berths available in the Championship meeting alongside the eight seeded teams.

This time the Qualifying Meeting did not produce any major surprises as far as who progressed and who did not, but it did throw up a few teams that loomed as far more than nuisance value on the big night.

The main features were Zac Campbell / Jason Williams topping the scorechart after the unbeaten Jack Summerling / Nathan McFadden did not take their last ride while Rick Stephens / Nick O’Brien was always in some good battles.

Stephen Saunders / Isaac Mitchell (tape exclusion), Haydon Bond / Tom Glover (passenger fell in one heat) and former champion rider Trent Headland / Jaxon Rayner (blown motor and broken chain) all overcame setbacks to comfortably make the cut.

Josh Pascoe / Greg Black did not need points from their last ride but Jackson Bond / Marty Wild did need to win Heat 20 to seal his progression.

The racing on Friday night was good but it really turned out be an entrée for the big names to dominate on Saturday night as the would-be-contenders were again reminded the level they need to reach to challenge for a championship victory.

After the 20 heats Darrin Treloar / Blake Cox were unbeaten, along the way inflicting the only defeat on Justin Plaisted / Damian Egan whose gating was perhaps not quite as sharp.

Mark Plaisted / Ben Pitt had won the three previous championships and they too lost to Treloar / Cox before terminal machine problems after winning their fourth heat forced them to use Brodie Cohen’s spare bike in their last heat and the decider.

Those three teams waited for the B Final where the only other former champion Trent Headland / Jaxon Rayner romped away to a clear win ahead of Rick Stephens / Nick O’Brien, Max Howse / Riley Commons and Jack Summerling / Nathan McFadden.

Not far adrift of making the B Final Josh Pascoe / Greg Black, Shane Hudson / Jack Spear, Zac Campbell / Jason Williams and Byren Gates / Mick O’Loughlin were next in line and were all involved in some exciting battles on what was a superbly prepared track that enabled all to be seen at their best.
The only previous champion riders all progressed to the decider, and clearly were the top quartet on the night, setting the scene for a fitting finale.

Treloar / Cox again were best off the start, from the very most inside point on the starting grid, while Headland / Rayner came off the outside gate before cutting back and going under both the Plaisted brothers before they hit the back straight.

Headland did not look to be bridging the gap on the leader but he lost second when he overcooked it on lap three allowing both Justin Plaisted / Damian Egan and then Mark Plaisted / Ben Pitt through to chase Treloar / Cox home.

2024 Trackmasters preview

The 2024 staging of the annual Trackmasters motorcycle meeting will be staged as a one-day meeting at the Barleigh Ranch Raceway this Saturday (November 2).

After first being staged at the Newcastle Showground in 1989 the Trackmasters has become a feature on the race calendar and in recent years the awarding of several significant trophies has added to the importance of the meeting.

While numbers are down in some classes the Hunter Motor Cycle Club has been able to fit the 74–event programme in to a big day of racing on Saturday.

The quality of the entry list is evident which should ensure some great battles in all classes of racing.

Riders in the Trackmasters Unlimited class will be competing for the Rod Allen Memorial Trophy, awarded in memory of the man who was for many years the voice of dirt track and speedway commentary across the state.

Cody Lewis is the only previous winner racing on Saturday, and he is likely to face his toughest opposition from the likes of Luke Bush Connor Ryan, Brayden Gay and youngsters  Thoren Openshaw and  Cody and Blake Wilby.

The top four from the Unlimited class, plus one additional rider nominated by the club, will then contest a series of match races for the Max Toth Golden Helmet, a trophy previously won by Luke Bush.

The Golden Helmet honours a life member of the Wallsend Motor Cycle Club and was first awarded in 1965.

The Junior Trackmasters will be staged for the first time for the oldest of the junior age divisions , the 13 to Under 16 year olds and it has attracted an evenly matched line-up with riders from Sydney, Gunnedah, the Central Coast and Albury coming to take on the locals.

The younger age groups have among them plenty of talented youngsters, including several who have championship wins on the board.

The ATVs will be an additional feature on Saturday’s programme with multiple championship winner Joshua Griffiths heading the entry list.

Barleigh Ranch is a great venue where fans can take in the entire track and they can see the action for a $20 admission charge per car. Practice starts at 10am on Saturday.

Ironman GNCC Motorcycle Race Report – Season Final

The 2024 Progressive Grand National Cross Country (GNCC Racing) Series presented by Specialized, an AMA National Championship, concluded its season on Sunday, October 27, with the Yamaha Racing Ironman GNCC in Crawfordsville, Indiana.

As the green flag flew and the XC1 Open Pro class took off into the woods, it would be Babbitt’s Online/Monster Energy/Kawasaki Team Green’s Lyndon Snodgrass emerging as the early leader when the pack came through timing and scoring on lap one. Snodgrass would continue to lead the way for the next couple of laps before Craig Delong could make the pass stick for the number one spot.

Delong would push forward for the remainder of the race, finishing with almost a minute lead over the rest of the field. Snodgrass would ensue in a battle with AmPro Yamaha’s Liam Draper for the second place position, with Draper being able to take that position over on the fourth lap of the race. Snodgrass would continue to push and would hold onto third overall to round out the podium at the season finale.

Evan Smith would put in his best ride of the year to end the season with a fourth overall and in the XC1 Open Pro class. Smith would start back in sixth and work his way up as he continued to push himself forward.

After a mid-pack start, Ricky Russell would only be able to work his way up to fifth overall to end the season. Jordan Ashburn also suffered from a bad start and was only able to make his way up to sixth in XC1 and ninth overall on the day.

Finishing seventh in XC1 was Ruy Barbosa after a rollercoaster day of back-and-forth inside the top 10. Benjamin Kelley would battle his way towards the front, but he would experience some trouble with his rear tire near the end of the race. Kelley would still finish the race in eighth.

JS7 Beta Racing’s Josh Strang would end the season with a ninth in XC1, while Michael Witkowski rounded out the top 10 in the class.

XC2 250 Pro

In the XC2 250 Pro class, Bells Electric Race Team’s Toby Cleveland would get a good jump off the line and lead the way for the majority of the race.

Cleveland would continue to push himself at the front of the pack, as the rest of the class was trying to close in on him. When the white flag flew, Cleveland would push himself the rest of the way to take the class win.

Phoenix Racing Honda’s Cody Barnes would come back to take second in the XC2 class after working his way up from a top five start to the day.

FMF KTM Factory Racing Lander’s Angus Riordan would have his work cut out for him as he came through seventh on the opening lap.

FMF XC3 125 Pro-Am

As the FMF XC3 125 Pro-Am class got underway it was Jhak Walker holding the early lead but would fall victim to a mechanical issue that would take him out of the race on the third lap and putting him sixth in the class and out of the championship contention.

Dakoda Devore would take over the lead on lap two, and he would continue to push himself at the front of the class. Raley Messer would make the pass for second on the last lap and continue to hold that position until the checkered flag flew. Jayson Crawford would be unable to hold off Messer on the last lap but would continue to push and finish third in the class.

Jaime Busto wins X-Trial of Estonia

Securing his best result of the series so far, GASGAS Factory Racing’s Jaime Busto has won the penultimate round of the 2024 FIM X-Trial World Championship in Estonia. In a super-close evening of competition at Tallinn’s Unibet Arena, Jaime delivered a stunning performance to clinch the overall victory at round six.

Starting as he meant to go on in Estonia, Busto put in a strong ride in the first round, receiving just one five on a particularly tricky section. Ending the round tied with Toni Bou and Gabriel Marcelli, it was all to play for in round two for Jaime to ensure his spot in the final.

Though the second round wasn’t as technically challenging for riders, the difficulty came from the low scores and minimal mistakes made by Jaime’s competitors. However, the TXT GP 300 rider rose to the occasion and confidently cleaned every section to take the overall lead and secure a coveted place in the final.

Carrying his confidence and momentum into the three-rider final, Jaime demonstrated his skill and experience on the technical course in front of a packed stadium to claim the victory with just five marks to Gabriel Marcelli’s six. The Spaniard’s win marks his best result of the 2024 X-Trial series so far, a result he will look to repeat at his home round for the season finale in three weeks’ time.

Heading into this penultimate round of the 2024 series, both Jaime Busto and rival Gabriel Marcelli were tied for second place in the overall standings with 68 points. Claiming 21 valuable championship points in Estonia, Jaime’s victory widens the gap to Marcelli to six important points.

Jaime Busto – P1

“It’s been an incredible day today! Right from the first section I felt really good on the bike, and on the second lap I was so happy to clean it as the scores were already so close. Going into the final it was really tight so I knew I couldn’t afford many mistakes. To take the win is amazing, and I’m super happy with the bike and it’s a very important win for us as a team. I can’t wait for the final in Spain!”

Gabriel Marcelli – P2

“I felt good on the bike throughout the day, but perhaps I wasn’t as sharp as I was in Andorra. We were fighting for the victory until the end and it slipped away by just one point. The positive thing is that with each race I am closer to winning, so we will continue to fight in the same way. We are six points behind Jaime in the standings, so it will be important to give 100% in Pamplona to have a chance of getting the runner-up spot.”

Toni Bou – P4

“We missed out on the final due to a small mistake at Zone 3 on Lap 2. With the simpler trials, any small detail puts you out of contention, and these are things that can happen. We tried to salvage it, but it wasn’t possible. We take away the fact that we were lucky enough to win the world title at the previous round in Andorra and we had nothing at stake here. We are looking forward to the last round in Pamplona with a lot of enthusiasm and we will try to improve and not make these mistakes in order to return to the top.”

Aussie Flat Track Nationals – Appin, Rounds 3 & 4 Wrap

Images by RbMotoLens

It was a fitting homecoming for Tom Drane as he blitzed the Yamaha Blu Cru Aussie Flat Track Nationals Pro 450 field to take five wins over two days of racing at Appin, grabbing both the Flat Track and TT round victories from fellow returning international Max Whale.

Kristian O’Donnell took a clean sweep in the Saturday-only Pro Twins action while Sam Drane and Cooper Archibald took the round wins in Junior Lites with Lockie Duggan and Levi Layton dominating the Junior 85 class.

Dave Maddock – Series Organiser

“It was great to bring the AFTN back to Appin after being washed out earlier in the year – the wait meant we were able to showcase some of the best flat track talent in the world right now. Tom Drane and Max Whale were a standout for pace all weekend but what we also saw is that Tom Herrick can rise to the level of those around him, he rode brilliantly to snatch a win in that company, while Cam Dunker continues show his talent on a motorcycle, regardless of the discipline. Mick Kirkness gave us a possible glimpse into the future and set the fastest lap on Saturday when he debuted the Stark Varg, comparing the experience to when he switched from carburetted engines to fuel injection! Jarrod Brook still leads the standings after a strong weekend but showed he favours the low grip surfaces more. Cooper Archibald had a great weekend in Junior Lites, racing with minimal mistakes and having some great battles with Sam Drane. In the Junior 85’s Levi Layton and Lockie Duggan were brilliant, showing we’ve got some talent that will progress. I think the riders enjoyed the weekend of racing, the club prepare an amazing surface, and now we are looking forward to the title deciding rounds at Gunnedah in a few weeks’ time.”

The Yamaha bLU cRU Aussie Flat Track Nationals season finale will be held at Gunnedah in north-west NSW for the fifth and sixth rounds of the Australian Flat Track Championship on November 16/17 for another two action-packed rounds of racing.

Round 3

Appin provided a treat for flat track fans with two of the quickest riders in the world in Max Whale (KTM) and Tom Drane (Yamaha) returning from their American Flat Track campaigns to compete in the Pro 450 class.

Whale found a good setting early on to take Superpole, but it was West Wyalong’s Tom Herrick (Husqvarna) that led from the flag and stunned the seasoned internationals for the opening race win.

Whale struck back for race two before Drane found his groove to snatch the final two races and the round win with Whale and Herrick on the podium beside him. Series leader Jarrod Brook (Husqvarna) struggled to find a decent setup but still figured in the points to finish fourth for the day.

Sam Drane (Yamaha) has also recently returned from competing in America and his experience was put to good use, taking out three of the four races with Jed Fyffe (KTM) picking up the other victory.

In Junior 85’s Lockie Duggan (Husqvarna) took the round with three race wins as well as the bonus points for being the fastest qualifier while in Clubman John McLean (Husqvarna) took two wins to seal the round.

As the Pro Twins class continues to gain momentum, Matt Davies was once again the fastest on track but ineligible for points on his custom frame Kawasaki – Kristian O’Donnell (CF Moto) was the official winner from Kenny Angel (Ducati).

Round 4

The switch to the TT track on Sunday for the Australian Flat Track Championship saw Tom Drane (Yamaha) start hard, topping practice and taking out a crucial Superpole. Max Whale (KTM) responded with a win first up before Drane hit form, taking full advantage of his better start position as the day progressed.

Three straight wins handed him the round win over Whale and while Tom Herrick (Husqvarna) found the podium twice, ASBK Superbike rider Cam Dunker (Yamaha) also impressed with his smooth style, hitting the podium and taking third for the round.

Tom Drane

“It’s always nice to come back to Australia and be able to race, especially when I see how many riders are here, and how the Flat Track Nationals have been working. The team were good enough to let me bring a fair amount of stuff home with me from the US so I could race and prepare for next season, so nice to be home and just as nice to get the win.”

Cameron Dunker

“It’s a lot different to road racing and the riding is a lot more aggressive but I love doing it and I think it helps me for racing the ASBK, so I will keep coming. Each round its almost like I need a race or two to get things rolling and then I come good, so maybe for the last round, I might just start racing by myself on Friday and see if that helps me on the weekend.”

In Junior Lites the rivalry between Cooper Archibald (Husqvarna) and Sam Drane (Yamaha) continued, with Archibald posting three race wins to take the round.

Riley Nauta (KTM) impressed with the other race win and was also fastest qualifier.

In Junior 85’s nobody could get close to TT specialist Levi Layton (KTM), taking a clean sweep from Lockie Duggan (Husqvarna) while Lucy Heaton-New (KTM) also visited the podium, another rider to benefit from racing in America.

In the Clubman class Rhys Sandow (Honda) took the round with two race wins after John McLean (Husqvarna) had qualified quickest. McLean took one race win but his challenge faltered after having to start the opening race from the penalty line.

2024 Hixpania Hard Enduro Wrap

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Manuel Lettenbichler has won the 2024 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship at the Hixpania Hard Enduro. Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Billy Bolt took the season final victory.

Lettenbichler finished third in Spain after an incredibly tough race in the rocky terrain close to Aguilar de Campoo. Securing the title on the final day of racing of the hard enduro season, he ended the season 18-points clear of Wade Young, who took silver by a point over Mario Roman.

With Sunday marking the culmination of the weekend’s racing with a two-hour, multi-lap race, Billy Bolt took pole position on his TE 300 as the top 10 qualifiers all lined up inside a cave to start.

Immediately taking control of the race, the Husqvarna rider put in a series of fast laps to try and distance himself from the chasing pack. With the rain continuing to fall, and the course becoming increasingly slippery, Bolt remained unfazed. Building his advantage to almost seven minutes, he skilfully scaled the final hillclimb to win the Hixpania Hard Enduro in dominant fashion.

Billy Bolt (Husqvarna)

“I’m beyond words with this victory. To win here like this, means so much to me. It’s been a tough year with injury, and a long and difficult comeback to get to this point. I knew Sea To Sky was about getting back to racing, and I felt that if I rode like I could here, then winning was possible. All weekend I felt so good on the bike. Like my old self. Saturday went perfect, but Sunday was what it was really all about. I’ve lost out at this race in the past, so I knew how important the opening laps are here. I knew I had to stay in the fight in the early laps. I got tired in the middle of the race, but when the track started to clear out, I found my pace again and rode for the win. I’m so happy to have made it happen today.”

Starting in the second row for Sunday’s main race, which promised to be even more challenging due to the non-stop rain, Lettenbichler fought hard from the start and quickly climbed into second place.

A costly crash mid-race injured his ankle, causing him to slip back into third, but he battled on to confidently maintain his position for the remainder of the race. Despite being in pain, and after close to two and a half hours of intense hard enduro action, the KTM star crossed the line to secure his sixth podium finish of the year and, with it, the 2024 Hard Enduro world title.

Lettenbichler has had a commanding year, opening his outdoor season with wins at the Valleys Hard Enduro and Red Bull Erzbergrodeo. Forced to sit out Serbia’s Xross Hard Enduro Rally due to a knee injury, the 26-year-old bounced back quickly to emerge victorious at rounds four, five, and six.

Mani then fought through the pain barrier in Spain at Hixpania Hard Enduro to finish on the podium and clinch the 2024 Hard Enduro crown in style.

Manuel Lettenbichler (KTM) – 2024 HEWC Champion

“I’m so stoked to have won the championship for the third time in a row! And to get another podium is pretty cool after such a tough race! I had a massive crash in the middle of the race which hurt, so I’m glad to have had such a strong finish anyway. It’s been an incredible season with plenty of ups and downs, but it has all paid off in the end!”

2024 FIM WSX Championship – Round 1 Wrap from Canada

Without the likes of exciting youngsters such as the Lawrence brothers or Haiden Deegan, and not one single KTM, Husqvarna, GASGAS, or Triumph rider on the permanent entry list, it certainly looks, sounds and feels like a distinctly second-rate series in comparison to America’s Monster Energy Supercross.

Going into the season opener, it was fair to say that Eli Tomac was the firm 450 class favourite lining up for CDR Yamaha, and the American proved that form guide true. 

Defending champ Ken Roczen showed early on, though, that he was going to take it up to Tomac with the German winning Superpole and the opening race of the night.

In the 250 ranks, 2023 champ Max Anstie was making his debut with Monster Energy Star Yamaha, but taking top honours in the opening round was Shane McElrath, riding for the Firepower Honda squad that Anstie recently parted ways with.

Craig Dack – CDR Yamaha Team Manager

“Like every championship opening round, there were some good things to take from it and also some lessons to be learnt, so the team and riders will get to work again this week and see if we can make some gains forward for Perth. It was the first major international event for both Ryder and Caleb so they were a bit nervous going in and it took them some time to adjust to the intensity of racing but both showed they are capable of doing well here. Ryder had a great start to the night and his second place finish in race one was a highlight, as was Kaleb’s fifth in race three as he found his place in the SX2 field. For Matt, the results just aren’t coming for him yet but he has been putting on the work, so hopefully it won’t be too long before we see him back up the front. Eli and the Star Racing Team were a pleasure to work with and the unity among the teams and riders involved for this series is obvious.”

WSX Superpole

Ken Roczen took the first five-points of the season with the quickest time in Superpole ahead of Eli Tomac and Joey Savatgy while Luke Clout made a promising start in fourth.

WSX Race One

Vince Friese took the holeshot ahead of Ken Roczen. Matt Moss got a great start but a wide line into the opening turn cost him position and Eli Tomac moved up to third.   

Luke Clout had some problems early on with signage banners caught up in his front wheel that resulted in the Australian failing to finish.

Tomac and Roczen squeezed past Friese on lap two as Joey Savatgy took the battle up for Friese for third place.

Roczen and Tomac traded fastest laps, the American outright quickest but the German with track position and Tomac was unable to find a way through.

Savatgy had way too much speed for Friese and pulled away from his countryman to secure third.

Tomac’s quickest lap a 53.416, half-a-second quicker than Roczen’s best, and 1.4-seconds better than Savatgy’s best. The rest of the field more than two-seconds slower than Tomac.

Matt Moss the highest finishing Australian in sixth place.

WSX Race Two

Eli Tomac got the holeshot ahead of Dean Wilson, Vince Friese and Matt Moss. Roczen was just outside the top ten early on. Wilson went down late on the opening lap.

Joey Savatgy again displayed good speed, working his way quickly up to second place but a mistake in the whoops cost him some a handful of those hard earned positions.

Ken Roczen inherited second place from Savatgy but by this halfway stage of the race Tomac led by 17-seconds.

Roczen then went down on lap six, rejoining well outside the top ten.

Luke Clout had worked his way up to fifth place, while Savatgy had clawed his way back up to second ahead of Colt Nichols and Mitch Oldenburg, and those riders took the chequered flag in those positions,

Tomac again carding the fastest lap of the race on his way to a victory margin of 22-seconds. Only Savatgy got within 1.2-seconds of Tomac’s marker. The rest of the field were more than two-seconds slower than Tomac.

WSX Race Three

Eli Tomac got into turn one in front but Ken Roczen and Vince Friese sneaked past him in the middle of the turn to push Tomac back to third.

Roczen escaped to a clear 2.5-second lead on the opening lap and looked to have it under control. However, Tomac steadily reeled the German in and took the lead as they started lap five then pulled away with ease. Stretching his lead over Roczen to more than ten-seconds by the chequered flag.

Joey Savatgy completing the podium ahead of Colt Nichols and Dean Wilson.

Luke Clout had gone down at turn one when the race got underway. After working his way forward to challenge Matt Moss for tenth position Clout went down again on the challenging track.

Roczen the only rider to lap within a second of Tomac in that bout, the rest of the field more than two-seconds a lap slower.

SuperFinal

The final contest of the night was the 12-lap Super Final which saw the top eight from the 450 class going head to head with the top eight 250 riders.

Eli Tomac pulled the pin from gate drop to sprint away from the field, leading by over three-seconds by the end of the opening lap.

Tomac was never headed on his way to a 16-second victory over Ken Roczen.

Colt Nichols rounded out the podium ahead of Vince Friese and Joey Savatgy.

Shane McElrath the first 250 machine home in sixth.

WSX Standings

SX2 Race One

Max Anstie was never headed in the opening 250 bout, taking the win by five-seconds after eight laps of the indoor layout.

Aussie teenager Ryder Kingsford took a brilliant second place for CDR Yamaha ahead of Canadian Cole Thompson (Firepower Honda).

SX2 Race Two

It was a quick turnaround for SX2 competitors as they were soon back around to the gates for the second contest of the night.

Kyle Chisholm scored the holeshot by a nose over Shane McElrath but not for long as McElrath hit the front.

Max Anstie steadily worked his way through the field and got the better of Chisholm for second place on lap two, but by that juncture McElrath had already built a four-second lead.

Anstie reeled McElrath in and challenged for the lead on the penultimate lap only to have a slide that lost him much of the ground that he had made on McElrath which meant the Brit had to settle for second.

Chisholm steadily lost positions as the race wore on, slipping to seventh by the chequered flag.

Third place went to Coty Schock ahead of Cole Thompson and Enzo Lopes.

Kaleb Barham was the highest finishing Australian in tenth as Kingsford couldn’t match the pace he showed in race one.

SX2 Race Three

Shane McElrath escaped to an early lead in the third 250 bout. Max Anstie was well outside the top ten early on after a lap one crash. Ryder Kingsford an early faller and lost a lot of time caught up in a tough block cover.

McElrath was never headed on his way to 1.8-second victory over Enzo Lopes. Cole Thompson rounded out the podium a further three-seconds back.

Kyle Chisholm a distant fourth ahead of Kaleb Barham.

Coty Shock finished sixth after a crash cost the Rick Ware Racing rider plenty of time. Shock recorded the fastest lap of the race and was in a podium position before his crash, ruing what could have been.

Defending champ Max Anstie finished ninth after struggling through his race without a lens in his goggles. Another crash on lap eight stunted his charge.
