Motorcycling Australia (MA) has moved to clarify that all remaining rounds of the Penrite ProMX Championship are currently on hold, as it continues ‘to work tirelessly’ on contingency plans to enable the series to resume.

The announcement comes due to the ongoing covid-19 state border restrictions, which have already impacted the contour of the 2021 season with multiple rounds postponed.

“ProMX Management Team has today made the disappointing and necessary decision to announce that all ProMX events are currently on hold due to the current national landscape around covid-19 state border restrictions,” a statement read.

“ProMX management continues to work tirelessly on plans to ensure that the remaining rounds of the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores are run as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.

“ProMX management would also like to further acknowledge how difficult this period is for teams, competitors, and host clubs. We thank them for their patience and understanding during this difficult time.

“The ProMX Championship remains committed to resuming racing again in 2021, whilst creating a safe environment for its competitors and teams.”

Further information is expected to be released in the coming weeks to outline plans for the series remainder. It’s anticipated that any form of resumption wouldn’t be until the later stages of October, casting the Australian Supercross Championship into doubt.

As previously outlined, the minimum requirements have been met to crown series winners, meaning Luke Clout (MX1) and Kyle Webster (MX2) and Blake Fox (MX3) would be this year’s champions respectively in the unlikely case that the championship is unable to restart.
