Adelaide, SA — Yamaha Racing celebrated a championship double over the weekend as Ryder Kingsford and Blake Bohannon secured national titles at a dramatic fifth and final round of the 2025 AUSX Supercross Championship. Press YMAMonster Energy Yamalube Yamaha’s Kingsford claimed the SX2 crown, while GYTR Yamaha Junior Racing’s Bohannon wrapped up the 85cc championship—both riders enduring tense, incident-filled finales that kept fans and teams on edge until the last lap.Kingsford Makes History With SX2 Triumph:

Kingsford arrived in Adelaide with a comfortable twelve-point buffer over nearest rival Alex Larwood. The equation was clear: stay within a couple of positions of Larwood across the two finals and the championship would be his. But on Adelaide’s tight and unforgiving layout, nothing came easy.

After topping practice and qualifying to secure P1, Kingsford’s opening final unravelled when an early crash dropped him outside the top ten. Showing championship poise, he carved through the pack to finish third—right behind Larwood—and limited the damage to reduce his lead to ten points.Race two brought more drama. A poor start and another fall left Kingsford scrambling as Larwood hit the front and applied maximum pressure. Composure prevailed, however, and with a late surge Kingsford climbed to fourth, sealing the 2025 SX2 championship.The victory marks the first time an Australian has claimed the SX2 title since Jay Wilson in 2018—also aboard a Yamalube Yamaha.

“Well, I made that a lot harder than it needed to be,” Kingsford laughed from the podium. “My starts were terrible, and on a track like this it doesn’t matter how fast you are—bad starts make life tough. But I knew what I needed to do and even with a few hiccups, we got it done.”

“The team have done a great job all year. Second in ProMX, now an AUSX title—2025 has been amazing. I’m grateful for everyone who supported me and I’ll look back on this year with great memories.”

Bohannon Survives Wild Night to Secure 85cc Title:

After dominating the first four rounds, Bohannon arrived with a hefty thirty-point lead and appeared set for a stress-free championship victory. But supercross delivered its trademark unpredictability.After a strong start to the day, including a heat race win, Bohannon’s opening final spiralled quickly. A first-turn crash and a second heavy fall left him riding with no helmet peak, a sore wrist, and a bent bike. He salvaged twelfth, but the points gap narrowed sharply heading into the final moto.

Race two brought yet another twist. A fall in the second corner dropped him to the back once more, leaving him needing a top-ten finish to claim the championship. With grit and determination, Bohannon clawed his way to ninth, securing Yamaha’s second title of the night.“I’m glad to get that one out of the way,” Bohannon admitted. “Everything that could go wrong did. My wrist hurt, the bike needed work, and I just needed to stay upright—but then I crashed again.

But I’m so happy to win the series. I hadn’t spent much time on supercross before round one, but I love it now. Huge thanks to GYTR Yamaha Junior Racing, my Mum and Dad, and all the riders for an awesome season.”

Yamaha Racing leaves Adelaide with two national champions and a night of heart-stopping moments that will long be remembered in the AUSX paddock.
