ADAM CIANCIARULO TO MAKE AUSX DEBUT IN SYDNEY

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — One of the biggest personalities and most popular riders in global motocross and supercross, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo will make his long-awaited Australian debut this October, joining the 2025 Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship in Sydney as a special guest both on and off the track.

A multiple AMA Pro Motocross race winner and the 2019 Pro Motocross 250MX Champion, Cianciarulo has built a massive international following for his skill, charisma, and fan-first approach. He’s also a regular contributor to the SMX World championship broadcast Race Day Live, adding expert analysis and insight that connects fans to the heart of the sport. Now, for the first time, Australian fans will get to experience his star power in person.

On October 25 at Sharks Stadium, Cianciarulo will bring his trademark humour, sharp insight, and world-class race knowledge to the live AUSX broadcast — giving fans both in the stands and watching at home an insider’s perspective from the commentary booth.

But he’s not just here to talk. In a special one-off on-track exhibition, Cianciarulo will suit up for an exhibition race on a Kawasaki, showcasing the same flair, style, and precision that’s made him a global fan favourite. Fans can expect surprises yet to be revealed.

“I’ve heard the stories, seen the footage, and now I finally get to see what AUSX is all about,” Cianciarulo said. “It’s an honour to be part of this 10-year celebration — and I couldn’t resist jumping in and giving the Aussie fans something special. Now… if only I can convince a certain fellow host to dust off his boots and do the same. Guess we’ll have to wait and see”

In addition to his commentary role and exhibition laps, Cianciarulo will join fan meet-and-greet sessions, autograph signings, and behind-the-scenes content — bringing his infectious energy to the AUSX experience all weekend.

“We’ve built an incredible international reputation over the past decade, and Adam’s involvement is a huge statement,” said Kelly Bailey, AUSX Managing Director. “He’s a natural showman, a genuine global star, and Sydney fans are in for something they won’t forget.”

Cianciarulo’s Sydney ride will be a rare chance for Australian fans to see one of the sport’s most recognisable names in action — right in the heart of the Shire.

The 2025 AUSX Championship is celebrating 10 years of Australian Supercross with its biggest line-up yet.

Tickets for Sydney are on sale today at 12:00pm at Ticketek.com.au— lock yours in and don’t miss the action on October 25th.

JPM Motorsports Honda Conclude Debut ProMX Season With 2nd In MX3 Class Championship

The JPM Motorsports Honda Team wrapped up their debut ProMX Championship with an incredible 2nd in the MX3 Class Championship, with Ride Red Honda JPM Rider Jet Alsop delivering a clutch performance at the Final Round at QMP.

In a weekend that kept the JPM technicians on their A game all weekend, both team riders Jet Alsop and Haruki Yokoyama would have big crashes on track, which would require major bike work across the weekend.

In the MX3 Class, Jet Alsop went down hard in Saturday’s Qualifying session after hitting the top of the leader board in his MX3 Group. A badly bruised back would test Alsop’s resilience as he toughed out 12-3 Moto finishes for 6th Overall, locking down 2nd in the 2025 MX3 Class Championship.

“My lower back pain made it almost impossible to ride at speed this morning and that was frustrating in Moto 1. 

“I knew I had to lock down 2nd in the Championship in the Opening Moto and with a 12th position we got the job done.”

“With that weight off my shoulders I was almost done for the day thinking about sitting out Moto 2. I decided I wasn’t going out like that after my comeback this season, so I geared up and toughed out a 3rd position to finish the Championship strong.”

“I want to thank Honda Australia and the JPM Motorsports Team, I couldn’t have done it this year with the help of Jed Parsons and Craig Brown”, said Alsop.

Haruki Yokoyama once again proved himself as one of the fastest Privateers in the highly competitive MX2 field, rebounding from a heavy crash in the Opening Moto to finish a very impressive 6th in Moto 2 to finish the season strong.

JPM MX Development Owner Jed Parsons commented on the 2025 ProMX Championship.

“This year has been a great journey and we were almost not going racing at the start of the season. I’m so glad we decided to put this Privateer effort together and showcase what we are capable of, giving our riders the platform via our bikes to compete against the Factory Teams”. 

The JPM Motorsports Honda Team now shift their focus to the upcoming Australian Supercross Championship. 

 

Darci Whalley 6th in ProMX MXW Class Championship For Moto1 Motorcycles KTM

Moto1 Motorcycles KTM Development Team rider Darci Whalley secured 6th in the 2025 MXW Class ProMX Championship at QMP, with a standout performance in the Opening Moto that saw her lead laps and compete with the elite riders at the front of the MXW field.

After achieving back-to-back SSMX MXW Class Championships in 2025, Whalley was determined to show her speed at the Pro level of MXW racing in Australia in the Championship Finale. Taking the Holeshot in the Opening Moto on Saturday, Whalley made her intentions clear, leading laps and looking comfortable out front.

A late race crash would hinder her podium chances, forcing Whalley to rebound in Moto 2 with a 5th position to secure 6th in the MXW Class Championship.

“It felt great to run up front and lead laps in the Opening Moto”. 

“It’s the first time I’ve been able to showcase my speed at ProMX and I felt at home battling out front. I’m disappointed I made that mistake, but I’m continuing to learn racing at this level and it’s a great way to finish 2025 and know what I’m capable of next year”, said Whalley. 

In the KTM Group 65 Futures, Moto1 Motorcycles KTM Junior Development Team riders  Joe Thurlby and Rowdy Rabjones both had strong showings at QMP, with Thurlby taking out 7th Overall at QMP and Rabjones 8th Overall.

With his performance at QMP, Rabjones was able to secure 8th in the 2025 KTM Group 65 Futures Championship.
