Lachlan Turner Captures Australian MXW Title with Perfect Season
The reigning back-to-back WMX Champion captured her first international title with a dominant season down under, going a perfect 8-0 in motos during the four-round season.
A new bunch of Australian motocross champions was crowned at Queensland Moto Park (QMP) on August 1-2 as the 2026 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) came to a thrilling conclusion, with Lachlan Turner able to wrap up the Ezilift MXW title.
For Turner (Monster Energy Yamalube Yamaha), her path to championship success was straightforward, as she completed a perfect season.
Ezilift MXW
Turner has been a colossus in the Ezilift MXW class from start to finish, and QMP was more of the same as the 19-year-old finished the season on maximum points (200) ahead of Taylah McCutcheon (JPM 360 Kawasaki, 156pts) and ousted defending champion Charli Cannon (Honda Racing Australia, 154pts).
Turner is now the first American to win an Australian motocross title since PJ Larsen (Pro Lites) in 2010 – when Turner was three years old! – and before that you’d have to go back to 1999 when the legendary Eddie Warren claimed the 250cc and 500ccc double.
Turner was challenged by both McCutcheon (who scored both holeshots) and Cannon (who led the second moto before crashing) at QMP, but ultimately her poise and speed were again the key drivers to success.
Cannon (2-2) and McCutcheon (3-3) were second and third overall at QMP from Madi Simpson (Yamaha, 5-4), Emma Milesevic (Honda, 4-5) and Darci Whalley(Honda, 7-6).
Milesevic was fourth in the championship from Whalley and Simpson.
