The curtains have closed on another incredible year of the Penrite ProMX Championship, presented by AMX Superstores, with Kyle Webster capturing headlines by successfully defending his Kawasaki MX1 Class crown at Queensland Moto Park (QMP).

The final round of the 2025 championship proved to be a red-wash, with the Honda Racing team winning four of the major titles – Kawasaki MX1, Pirelli MX2, MAXXIS MX3, and EZILIFT MXW – for the second consecutive year.

It wasn’t all red, though, as KTM rider Archie Black added a dash of orange to the winners’ circle by claiming the KTM Group MX65 Futures title, while KTM Racing Team’s Noah Ferguson broke through for his first Pirelli MX2 round win of the season.

A thrilling day of Kawasaki MX1 racing culminated in Boost Mobile Honda's Kyle Webster successfully defending his title, and ensuring he enters 2026 as a two-time champion. However, it was his Honda Racing teammate, Wilson Todd, who claimed the QMP round victory and finished his year off on a high note.

The day’s action began early, when a scorching AMX Pole Shootout lap saw Kirk Gibbs (KTM Racing Team) take a fairytale pole position at his final ProMX event. Gibbs’ fastest lap of 1:49.880 beat yesterday’s top qualifier, Todd, by 0.2s, with Nathan Crawford (KTM Racing Team) in third.

Crawford ensured the Kawasaki MX1 Class title fight went down to the last moto by tearing to a start-to-finish victory in the opening race.

A spectacular crash on the start straight claimed Gibbs, Luke Clout (Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki), and Todd Waters (Raceline Husqvarna TDub Racing), however, Crawford stayed clear of any drama and sailed to his first moto win of 2025.

Six seconds adrift, Todd and Webster were under no team orders as they battled hard to finish second and third, respectively. Zachary Watson (Triumph) and Aaron Tanti (Monster Energy CDR Yamaha) filled the remaining top five positions.

In race two, a stunning last-corner pass saw Todd steal the race and round win from his teammate, Webster, in dramatic fashion.

Todd holeshot and led the first half of the final Kawasaki MX1 Class race before coming unstuck in the increasingly rutted conditions, allowing Webster to inherit the lead. Then in the final corner, it was Webster’s turn to make a small error, and Todd quickly pounced to take the last-gasp win by 1.14 seconds, while Levi Rogers (Yamaha) rode the best race of his year to finish a solid P3. Crawford struggled to find a flow on the choppy circuit and settled for fourth position, ahead of Watson in P5.

Todd, Crawford, and Webster claimed the round podium placings, while in the final championship standings, Webster stood triumphant with 315pts, ahead of Crawford (300) and Todd (264).

The top qualifier of the Pirelli MX2 division, Noah Ferguson, ended his season on the highest-possible note by breaking through for his first overall win of the year.

The Queensland-based rider got the better of a spirited duel with newly-crowned Pirelli MX2 Class champion Brodie Connolly (Polyflor Honda Racing) to take a hard-fought win in the opening moto.

Connolly notched the holeshot, but Ferguson pushed the New Zealander throughout the opening laps, before the pair collided when two lines came together. Connolly came off second-best, while Ferguson charged to his first win of the year, beating Ryder Kingsford (Monster Energy Yamalube Yamaha) by 10.85s, with NFAL Honda’s Alex Larwood in third.

Connolly bounced back to win the second MX2 moto of the event, pushing Ferguson wide to get the holeshot, and then controlling a handy gap to the finish. Kingsford finished 5.1 seconds behind, while Ferguson focused on a measured ride to claim his first MX2 round victory of the year. Dennis and Kaleb Barham (Kawasaki) took P4 and P5.

The final Pirelli MX2 Class round podium of 2025 was filled by Ferguson, Kingsford, and Connolly, as Brodie ended the year with 378pts to Kingsford’s 329 and Ferguson’s 304.

Another perfect day for Honda Racing’s Kayd Kingsford saw him continue his dominance in the MAXXIS MX3 Class and take home the silverware.

Kingsford successfully wrapped up the title with a race left to run, after securing a clear holeshot and coasting to a 15.9-second win in the opening moto. With his nearest rival, Jet Alsop (JPM Race Team Honda) struggling to 12th, Kingsford’s victory was enough to claim the 2025 MAXXIS MX3 championship.

Monster Energy WBR Yamaha’s Koby Hantis finished second, with Jackson Fuller (KTM) a lonely third. Kiwi Hayden Draper (JCR Altherm Yamaha) recovered well from a mid-pack start to finish fourth, and Seth Shackleton (KTM) was fifth.

Yet another commanding ride by Kingsford in the second MX3 race saw him claim a perfect day, to complete a hugely successful season of racing. Husqvarna rider Jake Rumens secured the holeshot, but Kingsford hit the front within seconds and never looked back. Hantis recovered well from a P8 start to finish 14.6 seconds behind Kingsford, with Alsop a hard-fought P3.

Hantis and Fuller flanked Kingsford on the round podium, while Kingsford convincingly won the title (381pts) over Alsop (316) and Monster Energy WBR Yamaha’s Ky Woods (251).

Having wrapped up her fourth EZILIFT MXW championship on Saturday, there was one goal left for Charli Cannon to tick off on Sunday – complete a perfect season.

The SCT Logistics Honda Racing rider did just that during the second moto, quickly working her way past holeshot winner Taylor Thompson (KTM) in the initial corners, then coasting to a huge 45.4-second lead by the time she took the checkered flag.

Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki’s Taylah McCutcheon finished the moto in P2, with Thompson third. Madi Simpson (Monster Energy WBR Yamaha) and Darci Whalley (KTM) finished fourth and fifth.

Cannon, McCutcheon, and Thompson stood on both the round and championship podiums, with Cannon amassing a perfect 200pts, McCutcheon on 152, and Thompson on 145.

KTM rider Archie Black wrapped up the KTM Group MX65 Futures Class courtesy of a steady third-place performance in the final race of the weekend. The moto – and round – win went to holeshot winner Mason Ezergailis (KTM), although Yamaha rider Kye Sproule held the lead for most of the race.

It was only a late-race pass in the final corners that sealed the victory for Ezergailis, as Black finished a distant third. Ezergailis (1-1), Sproule (2-2), and Black (4-3) stood on the round podium, as Black, Ezergailis, and Ryder Madafiglio took the top spots in the championship standings.
