Dean, 2025 AUSX Supercross Champion in the SX1 class, your second championship here in Australia. Talk us through how that feels now, to finally get that one done after the year that it has been.

Yeah, thank you very much. Man, an amazing season for me. Eight out of 10 main event wins, and four out of five round wins. I can’t complain, couldn’t really have gone much better, to be honest. P2 in Melbourne, we’re not going to beat Jett [Lawrence], you know, and I got a bit lucky with Hunter [Lawrence], so we’ll take it. But yeah, unbelievable. And I’m just very grateful to have everyone around me, and the team that I have. Just grateful at the end of the day.

Talk about that. I think Melbourne probably is the highlight for you, as you said, splitting the Lawrence Brothers. You won all these races, but you have brought up Melbourne a lot. Was that a big ticket item for you to actually compete and go, ‘Hey, like, you boys are coming here, but this is my championship.”?

I mean, I’m not silly. You know, the Lawrence Boys are another level than I am. But it was cool to race them, and obviously, they’re good friends of mine. Hunter had a rough first race, so that helped me out, but yeah to be in between them was for sure cool – especially when I’m older, being able to show Ewan that I was in between the boys, you know, that was cool. It was a good night, and, yeah, I just, I kind of put myself in good spots that night, and I was saying earlier, like, I feel like I could have actually rode a bit better, but just kind of played it smart once I got in a good position and cruised it to the finish, and got the points that I needed.

Talk about the emotion finishing. You wrapped it up in race one, but you kind of tried to keep your composure and save the celebration until this was over. When you crossed the finish line, was it as emotional as you thought after the first one, or was it more so after the second race?

I actually had zero [emotion] after the first one, because I’m not even joking, I forgot about the championship. I was thinking, there are more rounds, like I was so locked in on trying to get Luke [Clout], because I had to come through the pack, and I got him last lap. Also, the heat to the main was not long at all, and I pushed a little bit harder in the heat. I wasn’t recovered very well for the main, and then I had to come through the pack. So I used a lot of energy. Anyway, we got it done, and then they were telling me I was champion, [laughs]. But then they were trying to celebrate, giving me the t-shirts and all of that, but I was like, “No, let’s hold off, let’s get the job done tonight, and then we’ll celebrate.” So, no, for sure, it just comes in waves, you know? It’s like everything, you know, with the season – everyone’s kind of seen what I went through the first couple of rounds, and that was really, really tough. Then that hit me again. It just comes in waves, you know? But yeah, like I said, just grateful to get another championship. We don’t win much these days, so we’ll cherish it. I had a lot of fun this season – it was good.

I guess a big question to finish up is, do we see the number one back next year here in Australian Supercross?

I would love to. Yeah, I would love to. We still have to figure some things out with Yarrive [Konsky], but I would definitely love to. I love coming back here. Everyone treats me so well, and we’ll see what happens, though.

Congratulations, mate. Thank you for coming down and putting on a show.

Thank you. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it.

Ryder Kingsford, you’re the 2025 SX2 champion. It’s been a crazy year, but you got it done. Has it set in yet?

Oh, I mean, it’s still pretty fresh. I definitely made it interesting on myself tonight. I put myself in two very bad positions that I shouldn’t have been in. But, at the end of the day, I can leave knowing that I was the fastest rider out there. I just needed to fix up and clean up those few little mistakes. But, at the end of the day, we got the job done. And to be the SX2 champ, it’s unbelievable.

And again, starting the season where you were, you had pretty rough rounds one and two, and you sort of built to this point. Does that make it maybe a little more satisfying that you had to kind of do it the hard way? You didn’t just win early and win all the way through. You actually had to dig?

Yes and no. I mean, like, obviously, every time we line up in race, we want to win. And, yeah, I was definitely very angry at myself leaving Redcliffe after the doubleheader. I lost a lot of valuable points that weekend. I definitely could have made a lot easier on myself knowing that now. But, like I said, everyone wants to win, and every weekend, that’s what we want to do. So being the champ, yeah, it’s awesome. I can’t complain too much, it’s been a good season with everyone.

Standing here under the truck now, the gold plates on the bike and stuff, it’s pretty cool, right? To see all that and take it in. You’ve got your partner and family here as well. That kind of makes it a little sweeter when you have all the family support, and you get to celebrate with everyone who puts in the hard work behind the scenes too, right?

Yeah, exactly. As you said, my mum and dad got me into racing, and they’ve been taking me to the track since I was four years old. So to be here now with them winning the championship, it’s awesome. And like you said, yeah, my partner and even just the team, I mean, [Scott] Bishop has guided me for the last eight years. I’ve been under his wing since I was a junior, then into WBR, and now into Yamalube Yamaha – it’s just been unbelievable. So to finally be able to pay them back and get a championship for them, it’s awesome.

Well, congratulations mate, I’ll let you go celebrate.

Cheers, thank you.
