KTM Racing Team’s Dylan Walsh and Luke Clout delivered top-five results at Saturday’s coveted AUSX Open at Geelong’s GMHBA Stadium, with both riders earning valuable points towards their respective Australian Supercross Championship (AUSX) campaigns in Round 2 of the 2026 season.
Equipped with the KTM 250 SX-F, Walsh quickly found his rhythm around the expansive Geelong circuit, recording a 1:00.306s lap-time to qualify sixth overall in the SX2 division on one of the largest layouts in AUSX history.
