Ken Roczen produced a perfect performance at the AUSX round in Auckland, New Zealand, sweeping all three features to collect maximum points. The German rider scored 75 points at North Harbour Stadium, underlining his form just days after confirming he will return to Pipes Motorsports in 2027 to defend his Monster Energy Supercross title.

Roczen holds off Craig

Roczen avoided a first-corner crash in the opening feature before settling into a strong rhythm that carried him through the meeting. Christian Craig applied consistent pressure and finished second in all three races, but he could not find a way past the leader. Australia's Luke Clout completed the podium, finishing third in every feature for a consistent and well-earned overall third place.

Davies stars at home in SX2

New Zealand's Cole Davies gave the home crowd plenty to celebrate by also sweeping all three features in SX2, likewise earning a maximum 75 points. The result was a welcome morale boost after a modest start to his SuperMotocross World Championship campaign, where he finished tenth in round one and fourteenth in round two. Racing in front of home supporters, Davies looked confident and controlled throughout.

McAdoo impresses despite illness

Cameron McAdoo finished second overall in SX2 despite racing while ill, taking second place in all three features. He will switch teams next year to race for Quad Lock Honda and made a promising start to that association. Ryder Kingsford completed the SX2 podium with finishes of third, fifth and third, an encouraging return just one month after a collarbone injury.
