Dean Ferris could be the dark horse.

I know it's only qualifying, but, the two women are fast enough for mid pack MX2.

4-5 hours between those sessions, track would be a lot different

I thought he was done racing. It's nice to see him running with the young bloods.

I always wondered why KTM sent him back to Europe (and on a husky) midway thru the US SX season in 2014. If I remember correctly, he had gone back to AUS during the SX break and got hurt and then boom, DeCoster said get ur ass over to Europe lol

Offer a swap for one of yours 😂

Moto 1  Beaton was very strong, Ferris hunh in there, and Webster can't buy a start but bulldogged his way into 3rd.

Track is awsome.

La la won the the  2nd moto, thus the overall.

The championship has been running for decades, but has had the current branding/ format for about five years.

The day is as good as an AMA National.

Yes, the feild,s not as strong, the factory bikes are just as flash, its easy to get merch or autographs, wow a great day.

And just like the AMA leaving the carpark was a nightmare.

I’d say Webster gets another year at mxon but cannons p2 in emx250 was impressive

Beaton was straight up the fastest, Webster’s mistakes cost him, and Ferris’s second return from retirement was impressive.

Long way until MXdN time, but Beaton’s looking good like he was last year until injury, although they’d be hard pressed to go past Webster after he’s done the job the last two years. 
I hope Cannon keeps progressing, MX1 currently has a lot of older guys kicking young guys asses.

I’d reward Webster with mxon for sure, until they don’t defend the title and while they are all Honda, you would be mad to change the team. Pick and stick.

Wonthaggi - a track with Dark Soil, that an Old Man like me, would love to get out on.

But only when it's fresh  as a daisy - that place cuts up Big Time. 

The SBS transmission started up right after the finish of Birmingham - perfect timing!

Cannon is actually riding for a french team for 2 years now (Bud Racing Kawasaki). And he knows the french tracks (riding the french national championship too). This could be a factor for this year MXoN selection (race will be in Ernée, France). Wait and see...

I would love to see what Beaton could do on a factory 250F at the Nations. CDR would have a good hook up. He was the class of the field this weekend for sure.

Surely you have to give him that opportunity if he's the best rider in the country.

Webster has been solid at nations the past couple of years no doubt. But arguably Beaton has been equal if not the faster rider of the two over that time too. 2024 they both finished on equal points but Webster won on a win count back, and 2025 Jed had the red plate coming into the final round and broke his femur mid week. So some shitty luck on his part, but it's a good problem to have for Australia in terms of rider choice
