For the first time in its history, the coveted AUSX OPEN took place inside Geelong’s GMHBA Stadium, where more than 20,000 fans watched the sport’s best do battle on an expansive track layout for round three of the Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship. Revisit the event through our Captured feature, highlighting the defining moments from the weekend in illustrated form.

The AUSX OPEN in Geelong looked good! It marked the first time the storied event visited GMHBA Stadium, its third venue in its history following stints at Afterpay Arena [formerly Qudos Bank Arena] and Marvel Stadium. More than 20,000 fans also made for an impressive turnout.

When in Geelong! Ken Roczen enjoyed a neat crossover with the Geelong Cats, a mainstay of the Australian Football League (AFL).

Geelong marked a tough AUSX return for the internationally-based Jake Cannon, who was announced as a late fill-in for the injured Jayce Cosford at JPM 360 Kawasaki. Pictured above is he and his KX250 not in the ideal position – although there is a lot left in the tank considering his lack of supercross seat time entering round three.

He may be on an all-new machine, but you can always count on a little contact whenever Justin ‘BamBam’ Barcia is on track.

Cole Davies completed a perfect sweep across New Zealand and Geelong, and if you’re among his competition in America, you’re probably looking to raise the bar between now and 2027. The Kiwi teenager looked seriously fast.

It was a sprawling track layout for round three of the 2026 AUSX series, with lap times sitting in the high-50-second to one-minute range. There was plenty of technicality throughout the circuit, and it was great to see some of the world’s best – alongside Australia’s top talent – navigate the challenging features.

Jo Shimoda was aboard a 450 down under! Another intriguing watch, the Japanese talent posted a consistent 4-4-4 scorecard to secure third overall.

As this image suggests, Monster Energy WBR Yamaha’s Jack Deveson is on fire right now. After a perfect performance in Auckland, he carried that momentum into Geelong, delivering exactly the kind of form you want to see from a rider in the SMX Next category. Looking ahead to the professional ranks, it’s hard to imagine Deveson not being right in the mix.

We had an improved Rascal in Geelong! Joe Rascal Racing Ducati’s Dylan Wills put points on the board for the Desmo 450MX-mounted team. While still feeling the effects of the opening two rounds and some way off his full potential, it was a positive step to build on.

There was some drama in the SX2 division, with Lux Turner coming together with countryman Cameron McAdoo in the second final, sending the Quad Lock Honda rider to the ground. With Davies’ cameo now complete, McAdoo and Turner sit second and third in the standings, respectively. It sets up an intriguing showdown between the pair with two rounds remaining.
