Levi Rogers led the CMC Racing charge at Wonthaggi, taking the industry by surprise with a very impressive 6th Overall in MX1 at Wonthaggi along with making the Superpole session and looks to continue that momentum at Appin.

“I felt right at home on the YZ450 at Wonthaggi and the CMC Racing program has given me everything I need to be competitive as a privateer in MX1”, said Rogers.

“I love the sand, but I am equally strong in the ruts and hard pack conditions. Appin is a tough track but I am looking forward to going racing and posting another Top 10 result”, concluded Rogers. 

In the MX2 Class, Sam Larsen has taken the time after Wonthaggi to acclimate back into Australian racing conditions, the current Thailand MX2 National Championship Red Plate holder looking forward to stronger results at Appin.

“Both myself and Joel Evans spent the months leading up to Wonthaggi competing and training in Thailand. The conditions are far rougher in Australia and I knew Wonthaggi was going to be a rough introduction back into ProMX. I’ve had a solid few weeks on the bike and feel far more at home heading into Appin this weekend”, commented Larsen. 

CMC Racing Team development riders Adison Treeby, Hayden and Lochy Roche will focus on taking what they learned from Wonthaggi and applying it to the highly competitive MX3 Class at Appin. 

Team Green supported Joel Evans has also been logging laps since returning from Thailand and Wonthaggi, with a positive few weeks leading into Appin.

“It’s been great to be home and finally get some time on the Team Green CMC Racing KX450”, said Evans.

“We finished 12th Overall at Wonthaggi so my goal this weekend is to qualify for Superpole and lodge a Top 10 Overall”, said Evans.

Round 2 of the 2025 ProMX Championship will take place at the Macarthur Motorcycle Club and the Appin Circuit in VNSW, on Sunday April 13th. The event is broadcast across free-to-air coverage on SBS and streaming platform SBS On Demand along with the ProMX TV livestream coverage.

Moto1 Motorcycles KTM Development Team rider Darci Whalley rode to a fantastic 10th Overall in the MXW Class at the Opening Round of the 2025 ProMX Championship.

Combining domestic and international riders from the Nations competing in the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup, Whalley fought hard against some of the best female riders in the world in the rough sands of Wonthaggi.

Competing across a four moto format over the weekend, Whalley was able to log consistent laps and stay out of trouble in the highly competitive MXW and FIM field.

After claiming the Holeshot in Moto 1, Whalley would push to 9-11 finishes in the MXW class points scoring races, en route to 10th Overall for Wonthaggi.

“This was a great experience racing with some of the elite female racers in the world. In only my second year as a senior racer I learned a lot seeing the American girls ride, especailly in the opening moto when I got the holeshot and was able to run up front in the opening laps.”

“My results had me inside the top 5 for the Australian competitors which is where I should be this season, so it’s a great start to the year. Thanks to Moto1 Motorcycles for their continued support with my National racing in 2025”, commented Whalley.

Darci Whalley and the Moto1 Motorcycles KTM Development Team now focus on Round 3 of the Sunshine State Motocross Championships, taking place at Warwick on the weekend of April 5th and 6th.

WONTHAGGI, AUSTRALIA 

The Winner Triumph Racing Australia Team completed the opening round of the 2025 ProMX Championship at Wonthaggi, with valuable race experience across both MX1 and MX2 classes.As a home event for the team, support was huge from the local fans, as the All-New Triumph RC-450 hit the track with riders Jack Simpson and Seth Jackson for the first time in ProMX competition.

Jack Simpson, returning to Australian competition after years racing Off-Road in America, finished 21st Overall in the premier MX1 Class. Despite the challenging result, Simpson remains confident in his progression. Landing in 21st Overall, Jack is confident of the work ahead in regaining his speed and intensity in Motocross.

“I knew today would be tough, but I struggled across myself out there and also getting the bike where I wanted it. That’s to be expected with this being our first race, I’m not worried as I know what needs to be done before Appin and after a few more Rounds I know I can be in the mix inside the Top 10 with the other Factory riders”, commented Simpson. 

A career best for Seth Jackson in MX1 saw the young Victorian edging closer to scoring points each moto, which will be the goal for Appin in the coming weeks. 

In the MX2 Class, Thynan Kean demonstrated the potential of the Triumph TF250-X, running inside the top 10 placings in both motos on his way to 15th overall. With a day best 12th position, Kean is excited to keep things moving leaving Wonthaggi.

“I rode great in both motos but unfortunately towards the end of moto 1 we had a flat tyre, which with the big holes and square edges can happen. It was nice to rebound in moto 2 for 12th, I had a great time with the team today and we have an amazing group of people around us”, said Kean.

Connar Adams delivered consistent rides in MX2, narrowly missing out on the points scoring positions and Overall top 20, with results that did not fully reflect his speed and potential on the day.

With the Opening Round of ProMX in the books, the Winner Triumph Racing Australia Team have established a much-needed base to further test and develop the Triumph RC-450, as valuable race data will assist in progress for Appin in the coming weeks. 

The Winner Triumph Racing Australia Team now focus their attention on Round 2 of the ProMX Championship, taking place at Appin, NSW on Sunday 13th April.
