This press release has: 9 Images
KTM Racing Team riders Nathan Crawford and Noah Ferguson featured inside the top three in Round 3 of the 2025 Australian ProMX Championship at Gillman, South Australia, as teammates Kirk Gibbs and Byron Dennis also posted solid performances to claim P4 in MX1 and P6 in MX2, respectively.
Having qualified sixth-fastest in MX1 onboard his KTM 450 SX-F, Crawford led the field for the opening five laps of Moto 1 before riding a composed race to earn his second podium result in as many rounds. Gibbs finished directly behind Crawford, holding down fourth for most of the MX1 race after qualifying fourth-fastest earlier in the day.

Ferguson also found convincing form around the loamy Gillman circuit as he secured his first MX2 podium of the season. After qualifying third-quickest equipped with the KTM 250 SX-F, he featured in the thick of the action in both motos. After racing hard for a P4 result in the opening race, Ferguson fought his way forward to another fourth-place finish in Moto 2.

Emerging talent Dennis also showed plenty of promise on the weekend, as the teenager surged from a P8 start to finish third in the opening moto, and was in sight of an overall podium when he unfortunately fell in the second encounter. Dennis would eventually cross the line in P13 for sixth overall.

In the MX1 championship standings, Crawford has climbed to third overall and Gibbs sits seventh, while in MX2 Ferguson’s consistent result has seen him move up to third, with Dennis currently positioned in fifth.

KTM Racing Team-supported MX3 rider Jackson Fuller ended his day 12th overall. Fuller worked through the pack to P4 in the opening moto, but a heavy crash on the start straight in Moto 2 resulted in a DNF and a visit to the Racesafe medical unit for further evaluation. Despite that setback, Fuller remains fifth in the title-race, while KTM-backed MXW front-runner Taylor Thompson rounded her day out with 2-9 moto scores landing her third overall for the weekend.  

Kyle Blunden – KTM Group Australia Motorsport Manager: “We had strong results over the weekend, with Noah Ferguson earning a podium finish in MX2, and impressive performances from Nato Crawford and Kirk Gibbs in the first MX1 moto. However, we were also reminded - in the most heartbreaking way - of the highs and lows that come with motorsport. On behalf of everyone at the KTM Group, we extend our deepest condolences to Joel Evans’ family. The entire motocross community stands with them during this incredibly difficult time. Joel was more than just a competitor - he was a true embodiment of the spirit of motocross. His love for the sport was undeniable, his smile was infectious, and he had a rare ability to connect with everyone around him. He brought warmth, positivity, and camaraderie wherever he went, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him.”
