The third round of the 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship in Gillman saw the early-season picture continue to unfold, with contenders beginning to emerge as the series enters its middle stages. Our Captured content feature from Foremost Media revisits the South Australian weekend in illustrated form.

Honda Racing’s Kyle Webster returned to the top step in Gillman, recording a 1-2 scorecard for the top step in MX1, and, importantly, gained two championship points on series leader Jed Beaton. The gap is now 12 after three rounds and six motos.

Additionally, Honda Racing duo Alex Larwood and Ryder Kingsford stood on the MX2 podium. Larwood – the South Australian local – posted a convincing 1-1 performance, although there were signs of life out of Ryder in moto two, as he earned P2 and third overall. Gillman also marks his first podium with the team, and we know there is much more in the tank as he continues to build back to form from a pre-season injury.

In news that everyone can be stoked about, Berry Sweet Yamaha’s Regan Duffy delivered a standout round, capturing 6-7 results for sixth overall. It’s a feel-good story for sure, as we all know how much potential the Western Australian has – and perhaps this close-knit team can help extract his best.

Wilson Todd was third in MX1, highlighted by P2 in race one. It was an eventful day for the Queenslander, who was also under the weather.

It was a return serve in MX1 moto two for Beaton. He toppled Webster by 14.682s, with his fastest lap nearly a full second clear of the next best. He even threw a shakka post-race for good measure.

Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki rider Dean Ferris’ results don’t tell the full story of his day. He spent the majority of moto one out front, successfully fending both Beaton and Webster off for a portion of the encounter. A late-race bike malfunction – as well as a crash in race two – impacted the end score, but the four-time MX1 champion was in fast-form nonetheless.

Levi Rogers returned at round three after missing the first two due to a dislocated shoulder and an upper arm injury that required surgery. Last year’s MX1 number seven was solid on return – claiming ninth via 9-10 moto scores.

We confirmed the day of Gillman that Kayd Kingsford – who was the red plate holder entering the round – sustained a broken collarbone in a practice crash on Wednesday, and underwent surgery that night for repairs. He also mentioned that the cause of the crash was ‘contact with another rider’, so read into that what you will. Anyhow, he put in a mega performance to end the day sixth overall, undoubtedly in immense pain, and salvaged critical points towards his MX2 championship. The problem is, there isn’t a lot of time between now and round four, with Toowoomba taking place in two weeks’ time.

The consensus was that this was a different Gillman from the previous year’s, ripped less deeply and featuring a harder base. This led some of the riders to label it one-lined, although from the outside, the dirt looked like it shaped up quite well.

That’s three consecutive podium finishes for KTM Racing Team’s Byron Dennis, and that sees him only 10 points out of the series lead. Is the teenager launching a sneaky championship assault here?
