With 29 days to go until the 2026 MXGP of Australia gets underway in Darwin, the final team is locked in for the MA Motocross State Challenge - the Northern Territory.
Congratulations to all the riders who have been selected.
Those returning this year are Banjo Williamson, Mackenzie Woodhill, Rhys Gwynne, Aiden Blowers, Brodie Holmes and Blake McVeigh, while the debutantes will all have a point to prove under the watchful eye of international onlookers in Darwin.
Despite being the 'home side', the clear objective for the squad will be to finish much higher up the ladder after bringing up the tail in 2025.

Fire up lads💪😎
Who’s ready to fight fire with fire in the MA Motocross State Challenge at the 2026 MXGP of Australia? Defending champion Team Queensland, that’s who!
The state has selected a 12-rider team as it looks to go back-to-back, featuring two riders who produced powerful performances in the 2025 event: Sidney Stephenson in MX85 and Hayden Downie in MX3.
The balance of the team will be making their first appearances in Darwin, with racing to be held over Friday and Saturday in front of the FIM Motocross World Championship paddock.
Congratulations to all the riders selected.
Queensland’s overall victory in 2025 was underpinned by a superior spread of speedsters across both classes, which eventually broke the resistance of its fellow states and territory.
The final 2026 MA Motocross State Challenge team, Northern Territory, will be announced on August 20 ahead of what’s expected to be another sizzling showcase of the nation’s elite junior talent.
