Maitland hosts 2025 NSW Motocross Championship round three on weekend
Maitland will host round three of the NSW Motocross Championships this weekend after a huge effort to get the track in order. Maitland District Motorcycle Club president Andrew Tipper is confident the track will be in top order for the third and final round of the NSW series on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, Tipper said a 30mm fall on Monday had set back their efforts of drying out the track, but they were committed to having everything in order for the start of racing on Saturday morning. "We've got the gear to make the track happen. It's just how quickly we can get it to dry out. We were looking good, and then that 30mm Monday night really didn't help," he said. Tipper said they were on track to match competitor numbers from the first two rounds with 230 riders already registered. However, he wasn't sure if the MX1 series leader Dylan Wills will return in time from bike testing in Italy. "They correlate points across the three rounds. And then this final round, you obviously get your champions or your title holders," he said.

Some of the best riders from NSW, the ACT, Queensland and Victoria are expected to take part in the the round, which is set to feature more than 230 riders.

The club has a number of top 10 riders in the various categories including 30+veterans No.1 Aaron Parker, MX2 No.2 Cayden Gray, and MX3 No.3 Riley Burgess. Burgess and Brody Collins are second and third respectively in the 125cc 15-u17 series.

Thomas leads the 85cc big wheel 14-u16, while Thomas is second and Ellis third in the 12-u14 division.

Mahindra Thar Roxx Waiting Period Reduced- Check Updated Timeline
Introduced on August 15, 2024, Mahindra's Thar Roxx, a five-door SUV, has noticed a decline in its waiting period. Customers who previously faced a waiting period of up to 18 months now only have to wait a maximum of six months, as of May 2025. It is to be noted that the waiting period differs for different variants depending on trim, and powertrain options. The Thar Roxx comes in six trim levels: MX1, MX3, MX5, AX3 L, AX5 L, and AX7 L. It offers both petrol and diesel engines, along with options for manual or automatic transmissions. Customers can choose between rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) versions. The prices of these variants range from Rs 12.99 lakh to Rs 23.39 lakh (ex-showroom). Also Read: Tata Altroz Facelift Mileage Revealed; Check Details Mahindra Thar Roxx Waiting Period List: For petrol 2WD models, the manual MX1 has a wait of up to 6 months, while the MX5 is at 4 months. The automatic MX3 and MX5 variants have a waiting period of up to 4 months. The petrol AX7 L automatic has the longest wait time at up to 6 months. In the diesel 2WD category, the MX1, MX3, MX5, AX5 L, and AX7 L have waiting times of 4 to 6 months, with the AX7 L also taking up to 6 months. For diesel 4WD models, the available variants are the MX5 (manual), AX5 L (automatic), and AX7 L (both manual and automatic), all with a waiting period of up to 6 months. Overall, the AX7 L and MX1 have the longest delivery times for both fuel types and drivetrain options. Mahindra's increased production capacity has helped reduce these waiting times, making the Thar Roxx more accessible to customers. However, despite the general decrease in waiting times, some models, such as the entry-level MX1 and high-end AX7 L, still experience waits of up to six months. In contrast, models like the MX3, AX3 L, and AX5 L typically have shorter waiting periods of around four months.

Motocross rider Joel Evans' fiancee Michaela Hurt reveals pregnancy in gut-wrenching tribute after his death
The fiancee of motocross rider Joel Evans has revealed 'our silver lining' that she is pregnant, penning a gut-wrenching tribute following his death on Sunday. Evans, 30, crashed in the top-level MX1 race at the ProMX Championship event in South Australia and later died in hospital. Tributes flowed from around the sport on Monday before his partner Michaela Hurt shared that 'the hardest day of our lives has been made easier knowing a piece of you lives on'. 'Yesterday we lost the most incredible person on this earth,' Michaela wrote. 'The most authentic, loved and kind-hearted soul. He loved and devoted his life to this sport which brought him so much joy and he rode it out right till the end. 'We are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support for our beautiful man. 'He is such a loved partner, uncle, brother, friend and son but most proudly a father to our adored little boy who is joining us in October. 'Please share his name, share his legacy, this incredible man deserves to be remembered across the generations. We love you so much Joely.' The long-time couple were engaged in October last year. Evans' family shared their heartbreak and vowed to support Michaela and their unborn child. 'I am lost for words, but I'll try,' sister Alex wrote. 'On Sunday I lost so much more than a brother. You were my best friend, the godfather to my babies, it felt like twins, you were such a piece to my puzzle. My boys were so lucky to have you. 'To our best friend Michaela I wish I could take your heartache and pain. I promise to support, care and love for you and my gorgeous boy coming as best I can. The way Joely would want me to. 'To my family I'm sure people get through this, it will take time for us to navigate that. 'You are suppose to still be here, this was not the way it was meant to be, I don't want to believe it and in this moment I honestly am not sure how to do it without you.' Alex married Evans' fellow professional motocross rider Luke Reardon, and the couple became parents for the second time in February. 'We were meant to do this together,' Alex wrote on a photo of Evans with Michaela's pregnancy test. 'Your little man will be so loved I can't explain. I'll make you proud and I guarantee Luke will step up like you did when he couldn't be there.' Luke said he was 'speechless and hurting'. 'But looking back on our memories and what a hell of a time we have had over the years,' he wrote. 'From our racing days to training days to our little getaways, just the four of us, soon to be our extended family of seven. I'm going to miss it all. 'You left us far too soon mate, but I can tell you one thing! Your little man is going to grow up and make you so damn proud & his little cousins are going to be right there by his side.' Evans' sister Renae had earlier described him as 'the best brother a girl could ask for and an even greater uncle for my girls'. Evans, who also raced in Asia, had previously overcome a serious crash in 2015 that nearly left him paralysed. After a week-long induced coma he learned how to walk again and returned to riding within a year.

Australian motocross rider Joel Evans dies following crash at ProMX Championship
Credits: Instagram @joelevans_81 Australian motocross rider Joel Evans has died following a crash during a top-level race at the 2025 ProMX Championship in Gillman, South Australia . The 30-year-old Queenslander suffered serious injuries during a single-bike incident in the MX1 category on Sunday afternoon. Despite emergency efforts and being rushed to hospital, Evans passed away later that evening. While the precise cause of the crash has not been detailed, Motorcycling Australia confirmed it was a single-bike incident during the MX1 race that required the full attention of medical crews. The event was immediately abandoned, and South Australian Police are now investigating, urging anyone with footage or information to contact Crime Stoppers. Tributes Flow for Resilient and Passionate Racer Evans' death has sent shockwaves through the motocross community, with an outpouring of grief from fans, fellow riders, and loved ones. His sister, Renae Ferris, shared a deeply emotional tribute: Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold 2021 Cars Now Almost Free - Prices May Surprise You Unsold Cars | Search Ads Learn More Undo "I could never have imagined that it was going to be the day that my little brother took his final breath. Joel was doing what he loved and was in one of the happiest eras of his life, but that doesn't make saying goodbye any easier. He used to joke about not wanting to get old — now he never has to." Joel leaves behind his fiancée Michaela Hurt and a family known for their close bond. Renae called him 'the best brother a girl could ask for and an even greater uncle for my girls.' A Life Defined by Comebacks and Commitment Joel Evans was a true privateer — a rider who raced not for fame or financial gain but for sheer passion. Introduced to motocross as a child on a 50cc bike, he committed his life to the sport. His journey was documented through his YouTube channel, where he shared insights into the struggles and triumphs of competing independently. In 2015, Evans suffered a devastating crash at Murray Bridge that nearly left him paralysed. He broke two vertebrae in his neck and was placed in a week-long induced coma. Defying medical odds, he learned to walk again and returned to racing within a year , despite regaining only partial strength in his left arm. 'Joel lived for the dream,' said Honda Racing Australia Director Yarrive Konsky. 'Every dollar earned, every sacrifice made was simply to make it to the next race.' Remembered by Friends and the Motocross Family Evans' competitors and friends expressed their shock and sorrow. Race winner Kyle Webster called him 'an absolute legend,' while fellow rider Regan Duffy reflected on their last conversation: 'Joel was telling me of plans to go race in America and just seemed so happy beforehand. One minute you're talking s*** on the line and the next they are gone.' Other tributes came from riders Nathan Crawford, Luke Clout, and Brandon Steel, who each highlighted Evans' love for the sport and his kind spirit. Longtime friend Stephen Smith described him as 'one of the best humans on this planet.' MXRP Motorcycle Performance added, 'You will be missed by many & forgotten by none, you're flying high now, mate.'
