CLASS DESCRIPTIONS WHAT IS THOR MX1?

The THOR MX1 class is the elite category in the ProMX Championship and sees factory-backed teams fielded by all major Japanese and European OEM manufacturers.

Riders compete mainly on state of the art 450cc four stroke machines (and some privately entered 255cc and over two stroke machines.) If you have made it to the THOR MX1, you are simply competing with the best riders in the nation- alongside many international riders who may compete in one off rounds or entire championships, further boosting the depth and star power in THOR MX1.

The current superstars of the THOR MX1 class includes reigning 2021 THOR MX1 Champion Luke Clout, the return of former three time champion Dean Ferris, former MXGP and AMA competitor and your 2019 Champion Todd Waters, Pirelli MX2 Champion Kyle Webster who debuts in the THOR MX1 class for 2022 along with Australian Motocross legend Brett Metcalfe, young guns Aaron Tant and Hayden Mellrossi, former 2015 Champion Kirk Gibbs and a whole lot more! THOR MX1 has the most talent, the best funded team programs and the fastest bikes in anon track in a display of raw speed and intensity that is sure to excite casual fans and industry members alike!

WHAT IS PIRELLI MX2?

The Pirelli MX2 class is the official transition into the professional classes in the ProMX Championship and allows riders at 15 years old to compete on 122cc to 150cc 2-Stroke & 200cc to 250cc 4-Stroke machines.

Although the smaller bore class to THOR MX1, the Pirelli MX2 category often provides the most exhilarating racing of the series with young professional riders making their

debut- and eager to impress the manufacturers and to forge their futures in the sport. Former class Champion Wilson Todd returns to the class and domestic racing after his MXGP international run and will square off against old rivals Nathan Crawford, Jesse Dobson and Maxxis MX3 graduating Champion Blake Fox.

WHAT IS MAXXIS MX3?

The Maxxis MX3 class provides a safe and competitive environment for juniors to graduate into the senior ranks at a National level. The class age structure is for riders from 14 to under 18 to compete on 122cc to 150cc 2-Stroke & 200cc to 250cc 4-Stroke capacity machines.

The new MX3 class structure also allows unique opportunities for riders with exceptional talent and speed to then graduate early into the Pirelli MX2 category at 15, to be more in line with FIM international age groupings.

Formerly known as “MXD”, this development class is fundamentally a way for both privateer racers and manufacturer backed team riders to enter the ProMX series and learn the style of racing, schedules and track conditions of the professional racing circuit. The goal of the Maxxis MX3 class is to prepare riders for a successful transition and career into the Pirelli MX2 and THOR MX1 pro classes, or for an accelerated.

WHAT IS THE BLU CRU YZ65 CUP? The bLU cRU YZ65 Cup is an initiative by Yamaha Motor Australia to give young Yamaha bLU cRU riders and their families a once in a lifetime experience to race alongside their professional racing heroes at the Penrite ProMX Championship, presented by AMX Superstores.

This invitation only experience sees riders aged between 9 and 12 compete at selected rounds of the ProMX Championship racing Yamaha YZ 65cc machines.

Riders and their families will enjoy a full day itinerary on Saturday inclusive of track walk, including Yamaha Factory Team truck tours and meet and greets with their racing heroes. On Sunday the bLU cRU YZ65 Cup riders will have a free practice session and two races throughout the day, to see who will be crowned the bLU cRU YZ65 Cup Champion at round five at Maitland, of the Penrite ProMX Championship.

2022 SEASON SO FAR ...

Season 2022 of the Penrite ProMX Championship, presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) has thrown up some interesting and difficult scenarios. With 2021 THOR MX1 champion Luke Clout (CDR Yamaha) out for the season, it appeared that Honda’s Kyle Webster was in the box seat, only to have him out injured after a training accident post round two.

To look forward, let’s first look back on the season to date…

ROUND ONE - WONTHAGGI, VICTORIA

Webster would mount an inedible charge through the field to close up to the rear of race leader Clout, but with two laps to go, Webster would push the front wheel in a turn leaving Luke clout clear to take the moto win ahead of Kyle Webster in 2nd, Arron Tanti in 3rd, Todd Waters 4th and Brett Metcalfe in 5th.

Moto 2 would again see blistering pace from Kyle Webster throughout the opening laps, as Arron Tanti ran 2nd followed by a fierce battle of Metcalfe, Factory KTM’s Kirk Gibbs and Todd Waters rounding out the top 5 spots.

THOR MX1 A huge crowd of 5000 spectators lined the fences to witness the incredible THOR MX1 class action at the sandy Wonthaggi track in Victoria, for the opening round of the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores.

The highly anticipated debut of Team HRC Honda Racing’s Kyle Webster did not disappoint, as Webster would set a blistering time in THOR MX1 qualifying, backing that up with setting the fastest time in the AMX Superstores Top 10 Pole Shootout.

With pole position, Webster would holeshot moto one and lead early, before going down and handing the lead to the defending champion, Luke Clout on his CDR Yamaha Monster Energy machine.

CDR teammate Aaron Tanti would move to 2nd, with Todd Waters in 3rd aboard the Husqvarna Australia FC450.

12

As the race progressed, Clout would charge from outside the top 5 through to 2nd and take advantage of a late race crash by Kyle Webster to take maximum points from Round 1 with the second moto win. Tanti would finish 2nd, Waters

2022 SEASON SO FAR ...

In MX2 moto 1, it was Team HRC Honda Racing’s Wilson Todd who would find his way to the lead after early race leader, Gas Gas mounted Noah Ferguson would crash out of proceedings early.

Todd would extend a small lead early, only to be challenged for the entire moto by Yamalube Yamaha Racing’s Alex Larwood. Larwood would match the pace of Todd but remain several bike lengths behind throughout the moto, as the pair would finish 1st and 2nd at the flag. Serco Yamaha’s Jesse Dobson rode a constant moto to finish 3rd, with his team mate Bailey Malkiewic in 4th and Haruki Yokohama rounding out the top 5 on his Empire Kawasaki.

3rd, with Kirk Gibbs in 4th and Kyle Webster remounting to finish 5th.

1st - Luke Clout

2nd - Aaron Tanti

3rd - Todd Waters

Pirelli MX2 The Pirelli MX2 Class had seen much pre-season hype and speculation over who would lead the charge in the 2022 Penrite ProMx Championship (ProMX) presented by AMX Superstores.The riders did not take long to show this was hype justified with incredible on track action in front of a sold out crowd and perfect racing conditions at the sandy Wonthaggi track.

Moto 2 was a familiar affair, with Wilson Todd leading from the early stages and Alex Larwood charging from a poor start to close in and match the lap times of the leader in second, trailing the previous MX2 champion for multiple laps around the sandy Wonthaggi track. Late in the moto, Todd was too strong and would take the chequered flag, ahead of Larwood in 2nd and Bailey Malkiewicz in 3rd, Jesse Dobson 4th and Ryder Kingsford 5th.

Maxxis MX3

The EZILIFT MXW

An incredible 80 Maxxis MX3 riders entered for the opening round of the 2022 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores.

With two groups of qualifying, the riders were trimmed to an elite gate of 40 ready to do battle on the fast and sandy Wonthaggi track in Victoria.

The EZILIFT MXW class and women’s national Motocross racing made a spectacular return at Wonthaggi Round 1 to the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores.

With competitors coming from all over the country to reignite the national level of women’s competition, all eyes were on the stars of the sport to witness the next generation of talent take on the established competitors in the MXW field.

With tremendous weather throughout the weekend and a large crowd lining the fences, it was Ride Red Honda’s Cambell Williams who would dominate proceedings with 1-1 Moto scores on his way to taking out the opening round overall.

Moto 1 would see Williams lead from the front, as Gas Gas Australia mounted Byron Dennis would finish 2nd with WA young gun and KTM Australia mounted Kayden Minear in 3rd.

The overall podium for Wonthaggi from Maxxis MX3

Ride Red Honda’s Emma Millesevic took the qualifying pole position in EZILIFT MXW and set the pace early, becoming the one to beat heading into the races during the day. Moto 1 saw new Factory Yamaha signing and Yamalube team rider Charli Cannon take the holeshot and stretch a lead from the front. First lap chaos ensued behind Cannon with several contenders going down in the first section of the track including Maddy Healey and Ebony Harris. Cannon would take the moto win, ahead of Millesevic in 2nd and Ride Red Honda teammate Maddy Brown in 3rd.

Moto 2 would see Cannon again lead early, however this time Millesevic and Brown would battle late in the race, with Cannon taking the moto win and Millesevic maintaining 2nd to the flag ahead of Brown in 3rd.

THOR MX1

CDR Yamaha Monster Energy and THOR MX1 Red Plate Holder Luke Clout would assume the lead position, where it appeared to be business as usual as Clout began to put together solid laps at the front of the field. However things would soon take a drastic turn for Clout, as a dramatic crash on the backside of the race track would see the defending Champion post a DNF and end his day at Mackay after a trip to the RaceSafe medical unit and subsequently being transported to local Hospital by Ambulance for further evaluation.

A spectacular Mackay Gum Valley track presented riders, teams and a huge crowd attendance from the region with an incredible location for Round 2 of the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX)

It would be Aaron Tanti on the CDR Yamaha Monster Energy YZ450f who would inherit the lead position from team mate Clout’s misfortune.

Tanti sprinted at the front of the field but would eventually succumb to the charge of class Rookie Kyle Webster on the Factory Honda Racing machine, securing the lead position with 9 minutes to go.

In THOR MX1, it did not take long for the hype and anticipation that followed Round 1 of the Championship, to ignite onto the Gum Valley race track. In what can only be described as a frantic opening moto, it would be Factory Honda Racing Australia’s Dean Ferris who would lead the

At the chequered flag for Moto 1, it would be Webster taking the win from Tanti in 2nd, whilst a freight train of veteran experience battled for the final podium spot. Todd Waters finished in 3rd on the Husqvarna Racing Australia machine, fending off charges from both GO24 KTM’s Brett Metcalfe who would finish 4th and Dean Ferris who claimed 5th position.

2022 SEASON SO FAR ...

Moto 2 saw multi time THOR MX1 Champion Dean Ferris take a commanding holeshot ahead of Aaron Tanti, Kirk Gibbs, Brett Metcalfe and Kyle Webster as the field battled for track position early. Kyle Webster began his charge to the front, first passing Metcalfe for 4th and then a mistake from Gibbs opened the door for Webster to move into 3rd.

spring away from the field in the opening laps.

Yamalube Yamaha’s Rhys Budd would mount a charge to attempt to stay with Todd in 2nd position early. A cluster of riders battling for 3rd position early would include WBR Bulk Nutrients Yamaha’s Brodie Connolly, Husqvarna Racing Australia’s Dylan Wills and Gas Gas Australia’s Noah Ferguson.

As the moto continued, it was Dean Ferris who used the 25 minutes plus one lap moto to return to race winning form after just his fourth gate drop back from retirement. Ferris was simply too strong maintaining track position and his trademark strong riding style to take the moto

As the laps continued, it would be Yamalube Yamaha’s Alex Larwood who would mount a charge to the front of the field, first passing Wills for 3rd, then team mate Budd for 2nd. At the finish, Todd would take the win, followed by Larwood in 2nd and Rhys Budd in 3rd. Dylan Wills and Noah Ferguson would round out 4th and 5th position respectively.

In Moto 2, Serco Yamaha’s Jesse Dobson would rebound after a fall in moto 1 to holeshot and lead early. Dobson showed great speed after being fastest qualifier in the morning session, but would again fall in a turn early in the moto. Wilson Todd assumed the lead position, with Serco Yamaha’s Bailey Malkiewicz securing 2nd position from Dylan Wills and Alex Larwood. Jesse Dobson would rebound to charge through the field, coming back to 3rd by the latter stages of the moto.

At the chequered flag, it was Wilson Todd maintaining his perfect streak in Pirelli MX2 with another moto win, with the Serco Yamaha tram mates of Bailey Malkiewicz and Jesse Dobson battling on the final laps, with Dobson returning the favour from Round 1 and edging out his team mate to take 2nd position, ahead of Malkiewicz in 3rd.

MAXXIS MX3 The next generation of Australian Motocross talent put on a fantastic display of speed and skill in Maxxis MX3. In Moto1, it was KTM mounted Ryan Alexanderson who would execute a holeshot and a perfect race, leading every lap on his way to claiming the chequered flag. KTM Racing Australia’s Kayden Minear would battle with Connor Towill and Maxxis MX3 red plate holder Campbell Williams on his Honda Racing Australia CRF250r to secure 2nd place. Late race falls from Towill and Williams would match with a late charge from Jack Mather who would claim 3rd place at the flag.

In THOR MX1, it was time for the challengers to assert dominance over the field. Following the unprecedented turn of events that saw both Round 1 Red Plate holder, CDR Yamaha Monster Energy’s Luke Clout and Round 2 Red Plate holder, HRC Honda Racing Australia’s Kyle Webster, both exit the Championship with injuries within the same week, the Championship was now thrown wide open.

CDR Yamaha Monster Energy’s Aaron Tanti would answer the call first thing, setting the fastest time in the THOR MX1 qualifying session. However it was Kirk Gibbs, riding for the KTM Australia Racing Team that would claim the top spot and set the fastest time in the AMX Superstores Top Ten Pole Shootout.

Moto 2 would see a dominant display from Kayden Minear, who would maintain a small margin over Miles Gilmore at the finish as the pair claimed 1st and 2nd in the moto. Campbell Williams would ride to a consistent 3rd in the moto.

2022 SEASON SO FAR ...

In the opening THOR MX1 moto, HRC Honda Racing Australia’s Dean Ferris would assert himself early on lap 1 to the front of the field. The first lap would also see Kirk Gibbs crash out of contention with Aaron Tanti colliding with the downed KTM rider’s bike, leaving both riders on the floor and at the back of the pack. Husqvarna Racing Australia’s Todd Waters latched onto the back of Ferris and the pair ran in their all too familiar 1st and 2nd positions that we have seen so many times before.

To make things even more interesting, GO24 KTM’s Brett Metcalfe joined the veteran freight train out front, the trio sprinting away from the rest of the field.

Waters would pass Ferris temporarily 8 minutes in, however Ferris would return the favour in exactly the same spot 5 minutes later. Ferris would lead the trio of Australian Motocross legends to the chequered flag in an epic last lap battle, with Todd Waters in 2nd, Brett Metcalfe in 3rd, GAS GAS Australia’s Hayden Mellross 4th and a hard charging Aaron Tanti in 5th.

For the first time in the 2022 ProMX Championship, the back to back motos factored into race day proceedings for THOR MX1 in the afternoon. In back to back part 1, Ferris would execute the holeshot with Metcalfe in 2nd, Tanti in 3rd and Gibbs in 4th. The short moto format would see the riders stay in this formation until late in the moto when Metcalfe would cross rut and crash following the first turn area, leaving the door open for Tanti and Gibbs to move forward.

At the chequered flag it was Ferris taking the win from Tanti in 2nd and Gibbs in 3rd. Todd Waters put on an incredible charge from a first turn crash all the way back to 5th in the short back to back moto format.

In the 2nd back to back moto, it was again Ferris who executed a perfect holeshot. Aaron Tanti pushed his way to the lead spot for the majority of the moto, however down the stretch Ferris was too strong, passing Tanti back with a few minutes to go. At the chequered flag it was Ferris claiming a perfect day with another 1st, with Tanti in 2nd, Waters in 3rd, Metcalfe 4th and Mellross 5th.

Dean Ferris would close up a huge points margin

18

to just 11 points out of the Championship lead with the THOR MX1 overall victory at Wodonga. New Red Plate holder Todd Waters was 2nd overall and Aaron Tanti was 3rd overall, sitting just 1 point out of the Red Plate.

PIRELLI MX2 In Pirelli MX2, it appeared to be business as usual after HRC Honda Racing Australia’s Wilson Todd jumped to the front of the field early in lap 1, passing holeshot winner Husqvarna Australia’s Dylan Wills. However on lap 3, Todd would uncharacteristically crash out of the lead, passing the number 1 spot to Serco Yamaha’s Jesse Dobson. A procession of Yamaha’s battled for the podium placings throughout the moto with Yamalube Yamaha’s Rhys Budd, Serco Yamaha’s Bailey Malkiewicz and WBR Bulk Nutrients Yamaha’s Ryder Kingsford all in tow. At the end of moto 1, it was Malkiewicz who emerged victorious, ahead of Ryder Kingsford and Rhys Budd. Wilson Todd would charge from 14th back to 4th and Jesse Dobson would crash out sustaining a dislocated shoulder at the mid point of the race.

Moto 2 was more of a familiar affair, with Todd holeshotting and after a brief battle with GAS

GAS Australia’s Noah Ferguson, beginning his trademark inching away from the field of Pirelli MX2 riders. Malkiewicz and Larwood would battle for 2nd position with Larwood eventually pulling away from his bLU cRU counterpart. At

the chequered flag, it was Todd taking 1st with Larwood in 2nd and Malkiewicz in 3rd. Liam Andrews on the Ride Red Honda would place a season best 4th with Ryder Kingsford placing 6th.

With 1-3 Moto scores, Malkiewicz would claim his first career Pirelli MX2 overall win, with Wilson Todd in 2nd and Ryder Kingsford in 3rd.

In the Championship points, Wilson Todd maintains a healthy points lead as Red Plate holder ahead of Bailey Malkiewicz in 2nd and Alex Larwood in 3rd.

At the chequered flag of Maxxis MX3 Moto 1, it was Ryan Alexanderson taking the Victory, ahead of Williams in 2nd and Mather in 3rd. Moto 2 would see KTM Newcastle mounted youngster Connor

Towill holeshot and lead early.

At the halfway mark, Campbell Williams would mount his attack to take 1st position. Ryan Alexanderson mounted a huge charge from outside the top 5 to challenge Alexanderson down the stretch of the moto, culminating in a last lap battle for the top spot. At the finish, Williams would take the moto win ahead of Alexanderson in 2nd and Jack Mather in 3rd.

In the Championship, Williams extends his points lead with the Red plate, ahead of Alexanderson in 2nd and KTM Racing Australia’s Kayden Minear in 3rd.

ROUND FOUR – GILLMAN, SOUTH AUSTRALIA For the first time in 3 years, South Australia and the Gillman MRA Club welcomed professional Motocross racing back to the incredible venue, hosting Round Four of the 2022 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores.

In what can only be described as a rider’s dream racetrack, the rain leading into the event combined with the sandy surface to create incredible conditions, allowing close battles and amazing on track action.

THOR MX1 Once again, the THOR MX1 field came into Round 4 with everything to play for with just 1 point separating the Red Plate holder of Husqvarna Australia’s Todd Waters and CDR Yamaha Monster Energy’s Aaron Tanti. Tanti would send a message to the field in the morning claiming the fastest time in the AMX Superstores Top Ten Pole Shootout.

out front, Ferris and Metcalfe would run in formation for 15 minutes with Metcalfe mounting attack after attack on Ferris without success. With 6 minutes to go, Metcalfe would finally make the pass stick on Ferris into 2nd and set his sights on Tanti. A lap later Kirk Gibbs made the pass on Ferris into 3rd and joined the battle for the lead.

A game of cat and mouse would ensue in the final 2 laps as Metcalfe would attack Tanti and then Gibbs would try to counter Metcalfe. Down the stretch it was Tanti who rode flawlessly and did not crack under relentless pressure to take the win with Metcalfe in 2nd and Gibbs in 3rd. Dean Ferris and Todd Waters round out the top 5 positions.

Aaron Tanti took the overall win for the Round with 2-1 Moto scores and the coveted THOR MX1 Red Plate. Brett Metcalfe would match points with Tanti but claim 2nd overall on the count back with Kirk Gibbs in 3rd overall.

Pirelli MX2

In the opening THOR MX1 Moto, it was South Australian Motocross legend Brett Metcalfe on the GO24 KTM who took the holeshot to the delight of the hometown fans.

Dean Ferris on the HRC Honda Factory Racing machine would quickly mount an attack passing into the lead in turn 3 of the opening lap. As the field settled into track position, Metcalfe made his intentions to the hometown crowd clear, passing Ferris back for 1st place. Metcalfe from here would proceed to shift another gear and check out from the THOR MX1 field. Ferris would begin to shuffle back through the field, with Tanti moving to 2nd, KTM Australia’s Kirk Gibbs moving to 3rd and setting his sights on Tanti. The cluster of THOR MX1 superstars would stay in this procession with Ferris in 4th and Waters in 5th for the majority of the opening moto.

Towards the end, Waters would pass Ferris for 4th as Metcalfe took the win at the chequered flag, with Tanti 2nd and Gibbs in 3rd.

Dean Ferris rocketed out of the gate to the holeshot in Moto 2 before Aaron Tanti would pass for the lead in the opening lap. As Tanti established a strong track position

Wilson Todd had a point to prove at Gillman after conceding his first loss of the season at the previous Round in Wodonga and this was evident from the very first time Pirelli MX2 hit the track. Taking out the fastest qualifying time in the Pirelli MX2 qualifying session, Todd would capitalise on great track position in Moto 1 to dominate every lap of the moto en route to the chequered flag and the Moto win. Behind Todd, Empire Kawasaki’s Haruki Yokoyama would battle up front early as Serco Yamaha’s Bailey Malkiewicz would crash out of the moto at the end of lap 1 in spectacular fashion. The Yamalube Yamaha mounted teammates of Alex Larwood and Rhys Budd moved consistently towards the front, with SA local Larwood in 2nd and Budd in 3rd at the finish. Ride Red Honda’s Liam Andrews rode to another impressive performance in 4th position with the WBR Bulk Nutrients Yamaha Rider Ryder Kingsford charging from a bad start back to 5th position.

Moto 2 would see Yokoyama Holeshot and lead on lap 1 before a freight train of Rhys Budd and Gas Gas Australia’s Noah Ferguson would battle past Yokoyama, as the pair fought hard for the lead position in the opening laps. Wilson Todd mounted a clinical attack on the Pirelli MX2 field, clawing through from a bad start to pass into the lead position at the halfway point. As the race progressed, Todd would decimate the field by extending a huge lead by the chequered flag. Rhys Budd and Noah Ferguson would continue their epic battle all the way to

2022 SEASON SO FAR ... the finish, with Budd just pinching 2nd position at the flag.

Ferguson would finish 3rd, with Ryder Kingsford in 4th and Jesse Dobson on the Serco Yamaha in 5th.

In the overall standings, Wilson Todd would take maximum points to the overall win with Rhys Budd in 2nd and Ryder Kingsford in 3rd, who would capitalise on a chain issue for Alex Larwood in the closing laps to lock in the final podium overall spot.

The EziLift MXW class returned for their 2nd Round of the season at Gillman to the delight of the South Australian fans. It was Yamalube Yamaha’s Charli Cannon who picked up right where she left off at Wonthaggi for Round 1, absolutely dominating the field from the very first laps on the track, setting the fastest time in EziLift MXW qualifying.

Maxxis MX3 In Maxxis MX3, the next generation of Australian Motocross talent again put on a display of speed and youthful intensity on the sandy Gillman track. In Moto 1 it was Connor Towill on the KTM Newcastle machine who would holeshot and lead the first half of the race, however at the halfway mark a small error in passing a lapped rider would allow KTM Australia mounted youngster Kayden Minear to take lead track position.

At the same time, Maxxis MX3 Red Plate holder Cambell Williams on the HRC Honda Racing Australia would crash battling with Jack Mather and fall from outside the top 3. At the chequered flag it would be Minear in 1st, with Towill rebounding for 2nd and Jack Mather in 3rd.

Moto 2 would again see Minear lead early and establish a strong track position ahead of the rest of the Maxxis MX3 field. The Husqvarna mounted duo of Jack Mather

In Moto 1, Cannon would holeshot and begin to pull ground on the field. Ride Red Honda’s Emma Milesevic would try her best to maintain vision of Cannon whilst riding strong in 2nd. Taylor Thompson rode in 3rd until the very last lap of Moto 1, falling from position and handing Ride Red Honda’s Maddy Brown the podium spot.

Moto 2 would see a repeat with Cannon and Milesevic running 1st and 2nd to the chequered flag, with Maddy Brown a strong 3rd.

and Brock Flynn would battle early in the top 3 spots as Ride Red Honda mounted rider Ty Kean would mount a tremendous charge through to 2nd position by the end of the moto, with Minear taking out a perfect 1-1 day and Jack Mather rounding out 3rd position in the moto.

In the overall standings, Minear took the overall win and made up a huge 20 points margin in the Championship

MX1 CLASS The THOR MX1 class has earned a reputation as being one of the premier domestic championships in the world.

Over the years the class has attracted not only Australia’s best, but international stars from Europe and America and has seen many great Champions and contenders go on to launch international careers overseas.

The last two years have been interrupted seasons with events cancelled and seasons severely curtailed. In 2021, just four motos decided the title with Luke Clout taking the number one spot narrowly over Regan Duffy with Todd Waters also close second- and the title!

The full effect of the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020,with no Championship rounds completed.

The last full season was in 2019, and it was Todd Waters vs Luke Clout plus Hayden Mellross (prior to an ACL injury removing him from the championship battle with a few rounds remaining!)

AARON TANTI

The final rounds of the season at Coolum decided who would take the #1 plate and Waters was simply too strong in the sand, defeating Clout over the weekend taking the title. Many Championship runs have led to the final rounds and even last motos in the THOR MX1 class and you will see this as a pattern throughout the brief history outlined in this article.

Call it a throwback, call it a tribute, or just call it a classic. This ’04 Limited Edition graphic has not lost an ounce of style. All the vibe of ’04 and all the performance of ’22 in one package.

MX2 CLASS The Pirelli MX2 class has a long established history as a proving ground for many great Champions of the sport both domestically and for those who have gone on to international success. The list of past champions of the class shows how important the Pirelli MX2 Championship can be to the future of a riders career.

For riders with international aspirations for either MXGP or AMA Motocross and Supercross, a Pirelli MX2 Class championship (or being a championship contender) is a minimum requisite that many teams will require before signing a rider to an international team and championship.

Most recently past champions and title contenders such as Jed Beaton, Luke Clout and Mitch Evans have gone onto international success and factory rides upon graduating from the MX2 class. The Pirelli MX2 class title Honda Factory Racing’s Kyle Webster was crowned the 2021 Pirelli MX2 class Champion in the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX), after a dominant display of riding that saw Webster finish off the #1 position in only one race throughout the season. Behind Webster, the Yamaha duo of Serco Yamaha’s Jesse Dobson would finish 2nd overall in the Championship with Yamalube Yamaha’s Rhys Budd in 3rd.

JESSE DOBSON

With Webster looking ahead towards his transition to 450 machinery, the 2022 crown will be up for grabs.

MX3 CLASS The Maxxis MX3 class holds a special place in the ProMX series - and the industry itself. As the graduating class from the junior ranks, the class sees a permanent rotating roster of graduating talent, where Australian Junior Motocross Champions and contenders face off against second year veterans of the class, all chasing their racing dreams of a Maxxis MX3 Championship and professional racing contract in the Pirelli MX2 class. Formerly known as “MXD”, this development class is now fundamentally a way for both privateer racers and manufacturer backed team riders to enter the ProMX series and learn the style of racing, schedules and track conditions of the professional racing circuit.

In the last full season of the series 2019 it was a two man battle for the title as Regan Duffy would square off against wild New Zealander Maximus Purvis.

Purvis would provide nothing short of incredible speed and excitement every time he was on track, however down the stretch Duffy was too strong and stayed calm to win his first championship as a senior rider. Perhaps a strong indicator of the raw speed of this class is the fact that Regan Duffy was selected as the MX3 open class representative for Australia at the Motocross of Nations that same year.

The class age structure has been modified to riders from 14 to under 18 to be able to compete on 122cc to 150cc 2-Stroke & 200cc to 250cc 4-Stroke capacity machines. The new MX3 class structure also allows unique opportunities for riders with exceptional talent and speed to then graduate early into the Pirelli MX2 category at 15, to be more in line with FIM international age groupings.

In 2021, the heavily curtailed season would see Blake Fox take the title after a dominant and consistently brilliant season. Ryder Kingsford did everything he could to stay in touch with the leader, but fell short in what was a heavily reduced season. Kayden Minear was third aboard a KTM. In 2020, no races were run.

In 2018 it was a WBR Yamaha dominating year as Bailey Malkiewicz and Hugh Mckay from Tasmania would finish first and second in the championship respectively.

Malkiewicz would also win the Junior World Motocross Championship in the same year that would eventually lead to a MXGP campaign in 2020 in the MX2 class. 2017 saw Victorian Cody Dyce battle hard against Jy Roberts.

Perhaps the most iconic moment of this battle came at Murray Bridge where Roberts and Dyce clashed battling for the lead, with Dyce coming off second best and being ejected from his bike and the track.

Ultimately this battle was over prematurely when Roberts was injured in practice at the final round, handing Dyce the title in what would have been a massive battle to the series title over the last two gate drops. The 2016 Championship was clinched by Mitch Evans over Western Australia’s Connor Tierney, Cooper Pozniak and Tasmanian Wade.
