AUS-X Open Set to Ignite in Geelong
Geelong, Victoria – The AUS-X Open returns this Saturday at GMHBA Stadium, promising to deliver a highly competitive event with an impressive track layout. As part of a series known for its challenging designs, this round marks one of the largest tracks in its history, poised to test the skills of top riders.
The event features an influx of international talent, with Ken Roczen, Cole Davies, Justin Barcia, and Jo Shimoda joining the fray. Roczen stands out as the leading contender in the 450 class, although he faces stiff competition from Christian Craig, Barcia, and Shimoda. Roczen’s performance in recent off-season races shows he will be pushed hard, especially after Craig’s close battles in Auckland last week.
In the 250 category, Davies emerges as the clear favorite following a dominant performance in Auckland’s triple crown event. His exceptional skill set is expected to translate well to the Geelong circuit, setting the stage for a possible victory. With dual championships in SX and MX secured in 2026, Davies is viewed as a rising star in supercross.
The weather may influence race dynamics, with potential rain and gusty winds forecast for race day. Temperatures are expected to hover in the 50s, presenting an additional challenge to riders.
As anticipation builds, the AUS-X Open promises a thrilling spectacle for both competitors and fans alike, showcasing some of the best talent in the sport today.
