A thrilling day of racing in the Kawasaki MX1 class culminated in Boost Mobile Honda’s Kyle Webster successfully defending his title, winning the 2025 ProMX MX1 championship and ensuring he enters 2026 as a two-time champion.

However, it was his Honda Racing teammate, Wilson Todd, who claimed the QMP round victory and finished his year off on a high note.

The day’s action began early, when a scorching AMX Pole Shootout lap saw Kirk Gibbs (KTM Racing Team) take a fairytale pole position at his final ProMX event. Gibbs’ fastest lap of 1:49.880 beat yesterday’s top qualifier, Todd, by 0.2s, with Nathan Crawford (KTM Racing Team) in third.

Crawford ensured the Kawasaki MX1 Class title fight went down to the last moto by tearing to a start-to-finish victory in the opening race.

A spectacular crash on the start straight claimed Gibbs, Luke Clout (Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki), and Todd Waters (Raceline Husqvarna TDub Racing), however, Crawford stayed clear of any drama and sailed to his first moto win of 2025.

Six seconds adrift, Todd and Webster were under no team orders as they battled hard to finish second and third, respectively. Zachary Watson (Triumph) and Aaron Tanti (Monster Energy CDR Yamaha) filled the remaining top five positions.

In race two, a stunning last-corner pass saw Todd steal the race and round win from his teammate, Webster, in dramatic fashion.

Todd holeshot and led the first half of the final Kawasaki MX1 Class race before coming unstuck in the increasingly rutted conditions, allowing Webster to inherit the lead. Then in the final corner, it was Webster’s turn to make a small error, and Todd quickly pounced to take the last-gasp win by 1.14 seconds, while Levi Rogers (Yamaha) rode the best race of his year to finish a solid P3.

Crawford struggled to find a flow on the choppy circuit and settled for fourth position, ahead of Watson in P5.

Todd, Crawford, and Webster claimed the round podium placings, while in the final championship standings, Webster stood triumphant with 315pts, ahead of Crawford (300) and Todd (264).
