This weekend marks the third edition of the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup in Wonthaggi, Australia. Two of the three races will count towards the 2026 Australian Championship, making this event particularly significant for the riders.
Four-time Australian champion Charli Cannon is aiming for a fifth title this season. Lachlan Turner, competing in all rounds this year, is determined to take the championship for herself and Yamaha. The Honda rider promises a strong challenge, ensuring a thrilling battle.
We must also watch Taylah McCutcheon, the Australian runner-up and one of the few riders to have beaten Cannon in a previous round. Other riders to keep an eye on for the podium include Madi Simpson, Taylor Thompson, and Darci Whalley. From New Zealand, Karaitiana Horne, fourth last year, looks to continue her upward trajectory.
Finally, the return of Emma Milesevic after a year’s absence adds extra excitement. With her previous podium finishes, she is sure to be a contender this weekend.
