Young Aussies Scoring Big on the World Stage. Yamaha’s awesome new YZF-R7 enjoyed its first FIM Superbike World Championship win with Aussie Carter Thompson winning Race Two last weekend at Cremona, in Italy’s Lombardy region, and setting a new lap record. Carter is an ex-Red Bull Rookie from Newcastle making it big in World SBK.
Meanwhile in AUS, 13-year-old wonderkid Blake Bohannon has added to his 85cc world title by winning the MX85 class of the World MXGP in Australia. The event was held 18–20 September at the Hidden Valley Motorsports Complex in Darwin, Northern Territory. Next stop for Blake is the MX of Nations BLU CRU cup on a Yamaha YZ125. This event will be held October 2 to 4, 2026, at the Circuit Raymond Demy in Ernée, France.
