Honda Racing Australia enters the 2026 Australian Motocross Championship with one clear objective, defend every title.

As back-to-back champions across all four classes, the Factory Honda team returns with momentum, confidence, and a strengthened program, including the defence of the Oceania Championship led by Australian Team Captain, Charli Cannon.

For 2026, Honda Racing Australia introduces a dynamic new commercial model, with title partners aligned to each of the eight championship rounds, maximising exposure, activation and engagement for its premium partners.
Team Director Yarrive Konsky has successfully implemented this model across both two- and four-wheel motorsport.

“This model has delivered success globally, particularly in NASCAR, and I’ve applied it across multiple programs here in Australia,” said Konsky.

“Our partners operate on campaign cycles , state and national and this approach allows them to activate when it matters most. At the same time, it enables us to deliver greater value while competing at the highest level.”

Joining him is multiple-time Australian Champion Wilson Todd, determined to return to the top after two injury-interrupted seasons.
“The last couple of years have been tough with injuries in Supercross impacting my preparation, but I’m in a better place now. Round one is always challenging, especially at Wonthaggi, but I’m confident we can start the season strong,” said Todd.
