2023 ProMX Championship
Australian Motocross Competition in 2023
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2023 ProMX Motocross Championship season (known for sponsorship reasons as the Penrite ProMX Motocross Championship), was the third Australian Motocross Championship season under the ProMX moniker.[1]
The series included eight rounds across four different states. All events except the fourth round and the final round were a one-day format.
Aaron Tanti was the reigning champion in the MX1 class, after winning his maiden title in 2022.[2] Ultimately, Tanti was not able to defend his title, which was won instead by veteran Dean Ferris. This was Ferris' fourth MX1 title and one he picked up after coming out of retirement in the lead up to the start of the season.
In the MX2 class, Wilson Todd was the defending champion, after he won his third class title in the previous season.[3] Todd was able to once again successfully defend his title, after a season long battle with Nathan Crawford.
The start of the season was marred by the fatal crash of Brayden Erbacher at the opening round.[4] The remaining races at Wonthaggi were cancelled as a result.
