Race report

Christian Craig strengthened his SX1 championship position with victory in Perth, while Max Anstie edged Cameron McAdoo by just 0.155 seconds in a dramatic SX2 final at round four of the 2026 Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship.

The penultimate round at HBF Park featured single main events for the premier categories, with Craig taking maximum points across 20 laps and Anstie producing a last-lap turnaround in the 15-lap SX2 decider.

Craig (Quad Lock Honda) set the SX1 qualifying benchmark with a 52.022s lap, finishing 0.861s clear of Luke Clout (KTM Racing Team). Aaron Tanti (Monster Energy CDR Yamaha) was third, followed by Jo Shimoda (Honda HRC Progressive) and Austin Politelli (Quad Lock Honda).

Lux Turner (Monster Energy Yamalube Yamaha) led SX2 qualifying with a 52.782s lap, edging MXRP Yamaha’s Anstie by 0.161s. Dylan Walsh (KTM Racing Team), McAdoo (Quad Lock Honda) and Ryder Kingsford (SCT Logistics Honda Racing) completed the top five.

Shimoda and Craig split the SX1 heat victories, while Kayd Kingsford (SCT Logistics Honda Racing) and Walsh won the SX2 heats. Turner failed to finish his heat and did not make the main event, costing the title contender a chance to add to his points tally in Perth.

Craig backed up his qualifying pace by topping SX1 Superpole with a 52.091s lap. Shimoda was second, 0.360s behind, ahead of Tanti, Politelli, Clout and Cedric Soubeyras (Penrite Empire Kawasaki).

The SX2 final featured multiple changes at the front. Walsh led the opening two laps before Michael Hicks (Stark Factory Racing) took control, with McAdoo working forward to take over on lap eight.

Anstie had been 12th at the end of the opening lap, but charged through to second by lap 10 and kept the pressure on McAdoo. The Briton moved ahead on the final lap to take the chequered flag just 0.155s in front, with Hicks completing the podium.

Reid Taylor (JPM 360 Kawasaki) was the leading Australian in fourth ahead of Brodie Connolly (Quad Lock Honda). Jayce Cosford, Alex Larwood, Seth Burchell, Ryder Kingsford and Brian Hsu rounded out the top 10. Walsh and Kayd Kingsford were among the non-finishers.

McAdoo leaves Perth on 174 AUSX points, ahead of the absent Cole Davies on 150. Connolly sits third on 145, just one point ahead of Anstie, while Turner remains on 138 following his non-qualification.

Craig led the early stages of the SX1 final before Shimoda moved to the front on lap nine. The Japanese rider held the position for three laps, but Craig was back ahead on lap 12 and went on to win by 8.562s.

Soubeyras secured second ahead of Politelli, with Hayden Mellross (Wood Motorsport KTM) the highest-placed Australian in fourth. Clout completed the top five, followed by Jorge Zaragoza, Vince Friese, Ryan Alexanderson, Dylan Wills and Zac Watson.

Shimoda eventually retired after completing 17 laps, while Monster Energy CDR Yamaha teammates Tanti and Jed Beaton also recorded DNFs. Craig now holds 207 AUSX points, with Clout second on 163 and Soubeyras third on 159.

Jack Deveson (Monster Energy WBR Yamaha) continued his winning run in SMX Next, taking the 10-lap final by 4.897s over Cooper Rowe (MXRP Yamaha). Dylan Gromball (Stark) completed the podium.

Nico Verhoeven (KTM) won the SX85 final ahead of Mason Ezergailis (KTM) and Koby Binnion (GASGAS), while the BLU CRU YZ65 Cup also featured on the Perth program.

The championship concludes at Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium on November 28.
