Honda has delivered its strongest performance of the 2026 ProMX Championship so far, sweeping all three classes at Gillman as the Honda Racing team stamped its authority on round three in Adelaide.
The historic Gillman Motocross Track served up a very different challenge this year, with a firmer and more technical surface replacing the deep sand the venue is traditionally known for. Even reigning MX1 champion Kyle Webster admitted the conditions caught riders out.
“I can’t remember it being this hard and slippery underneath,” Webster said. “It was definitely not the usual Gillman track we are used to.”
Despite the tricky conditions, Honda’s six-rider line-up fired from the outset.
In MX1, Webster returned to the top step of the podium with a race win and second-place finish securing the overall victory. The Honda rider admitted he still wasn’t fully satisfied with his riding despite getting the result done.
“The speed has been there all season, but mistakes have hurt me,” Webster explained. “I probably rode too conservatively this weekend trying not to make errors.”
Teammate Wilson Todd also returned to the podium for the first time this season with third overall as he continues rebuilding form following injury.
But the standout performance of the weekend arguably came in MX2.
Alex Larwood dominated both motos to complete a perfect weekend in his home state and reclaim the championship red plate. Larwood won the opening moto by more than 15 seconds before backing it up again in race two after teammate Ryder Kingsford grabbed the holeshot early.
“It was a perfect weekend in my home state,” Larwood said. “There have been plenty of highs and lows, and to do it on Mother’s Day with Mum there made it even more meaningful.”
Ryder Kingsford continued his improvement with one of his strongest rounds of the season, while brother Kayd Kingsford delivered one of the gutsiest rides of the weekend.
Just days after suffering a broken collarbone that required surgery, the MX2 championship leader still lined up to race at Gillman and salvaged crucial points despite obvious pain.
“This weekend tested me,” Kayd admitted. “Honestly, I learned a lot about myself.”
In MX3, Heath Fisher announced himself as a genuine championship threat with a breakout overall victory after dominating both motos.
After battling injuries over the past two seasons while racing overseas, Fisher entered 2026 in rebuilding mode, with the team initially targeting Gillman as a potential podium round rather than a must-win weekend.
Instead, Fisher delivered a statement performance.
“We still aren’t where we want to be physically,” Fisher said. “But I’m happy with the direction we’re heading.”
Honda Racing Team Director Yarrive Konsky praised the effort across the entire program but made it clear the team still sees room for improvement despite sweeping all three categories.
“Winning all three classes is something we should be proud of, but none of it came easily,” Konsky said.
The 2026 ProMX Championship now heads to Toowoomba in two weeks for round four.
