Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cole Davies continued his unbeaten form at the AUSX OPEN in Geelong, completing another clean-sweep of the SX2 finals at GMHBA Stadium. In this Debrief feature, the world-class New Zealander reflected on his perfect night, the benefits of making two AUSX appearances this off-season, and his growing ambitions for next year.

Geelong AUSX Open

No, it was another good day. Obviously having another perfect sweep is unreal. I feel like I haven’t really been riding supercross too much, but I feel amazing right now. Honestly, I could go into A1 tomorrow and be feeling good. So yeah, back into boot camp now, make some gains and come into 2027 swinging.

Preparation for 2027

I feel like, for me, I can almost be racing, get some gate drops, but also have a little bit of a holiday when I’m here. So it’s cool to see family, it’s cool to see friends. I definitely enjoyed these two races, but now it’s back to the US, back to boot camp.

Motocross or supercross

I would say, with the way I ride, I feel like I have a very good variety where I can kind of be good in all areas. Very versatile, I’d say. But I definitely enjoy supercross a lot more. I wouldn’t really say I’m better at one or the other. I’d say I’m very precise in supercross, which definitely helps, but I definitely enjoy supercross more. Definitely nowhere near the peak in supercross or motocross where I know I can be.

That ceiling

You know, I want to get into the 450 class and break records, so that’s the plan. That’s what I’m going to set out to do. All up from here.

Goals for 2027

I have high hopes for next season. I’ve set high expectations for myself, so I’m going to try to achieve what I set out to do. Hopefully next year I can have an unreal season. Obviously, it was a good year this year, but I’m striving for more next year and having to get ready for the 450 in 2028, so I’m excited for it.

Time in Geelong

Yeah, I had a little run down the beach, not bad… The stadium’s definitely sick, so I had a fun time here. It was nice to have a pretty open, sick track here, so I definitely enjoyed it.
