The 10th anniversary Boost Mobile AUSX Open delivered one of the biggest nights in Australian supercross history, with more than 30,000 fans packing Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium to watch World Champion Jett Lawrence finally claim the one trophy missing from his resume.
Racing on home soil for the first time since securing his third straight SuperMotocross World Championship — and helping Australia clinch back-to-back Motocross of Nations titles — Jett put last year’s chaos behind him to take a convincing SX1 victory on the biggest supercross track ever built outside the United States. Marvel Stadium was transformed with 6,500 tonnes of dirt, creating a layout worthy of the event’s 10-year milestone.
The win meant more than just another trophy for the 21-year-old.
“Third time’s the charm,” Jett said. “To finally get it on my third attempt was unreal. I’m super stoked to do it in front of the Aussie crowd. The atmosphere was electric — these are the kind of core memories I’ll carry through my whole career.”
Wilson Steady in Second, Hunter Salvages Podium
Behind him, Dean Wilson delivered one of the smartest rides of the night, avoiding trouble to secure second place and strengthen his SX1 championship lead heading into next weekend’s finale. Hunter Lawrence — last year’s AUSX Open winner — fought his way to a gritty third, giving Melbourne a flash of the relentless pace that has defined his season.
The SX1 field was stacked with international and local talent including Cédric Soubeyras, Phil Nicoletti, Luke Clout, Aaron Tanti, Dylan Walsh, Matt Moss and Hayden Mellross.
Thompson Tops SX2 as McElrath Returns
SX2 saw a shake-up as Cole Thompson out-rode defending champion Shane McElrath to take the overall. Thompson claimed the first final, then backed it up with a third in the second race to edge McElrath and Ryder Kingsford for the round win.
It wasn’t a night to remember for Lux Turner, who came in with strong momentum but crashed during qualifying, injuring his wrist and withdrawing before the night show.
Malinoski Perfect in SX3
Ryder Malinoski dominated the SX3 final with a wire-to-wire performance as carnage unfolded behind him. Jack Deveson crossed the line in second, followed by Koby Hantis in third.
Fans were also treated to racing from the 85cc category and the Yamaha 65cc Cup, along with FMX shows, live music, and a packed schedule of fan activations that helped push the event into true stadium-spectacle territory.
Stadium Salutes Australia’s MXoN Heroes
One of the most memorable moments of the night came when Marvel Stadium lit up for Australia’s Motocross of Nations champions. Thousands of fans raised their phone lights as Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence and Kyle Webster rolled out in their green and gold kit for a lap of honour, celebrating Australia’s historic back-to-back MXoN victory.
Event Director Kelly Bailey said the moment capped off a milestone night.
“Their success on the world stage inspires the next generation. We set out to deliver a world-class event for the 10-year milestone — and tonight exceeded every expectation.”
