Australia hasn’t enjoyed a full-time presence in the MX2 class of the FIM Motocross World Championship since 2021, but now we’re trying to make up for lost time!

Congrats to Byron Dennis and Liam Owens, who are graduating to world championship action in 2027, which will include MXGP of Australia action from September 17-19.

Both will remain KTM pilots for Dutch teams: Dennis with Van Venrooy Racing after finishing fourth in the MX2 class of ProMX in 2026 and subsequent eye-catching cameos in the EMX250 title and several MXGP events, while Owens continues his association with CAT Moto Bauerschmidt after building his stocks in Europe over the last three seasons.

Before he left for Europe, 19-year-old Owens won the blue-chip upper-age class at the 2023 KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship in Darwin, setting the scene for his transition into the senior ranks.

Australia’s best result in the MX2 world title remains the late Andrew McFarlane’s second place in 2005.
