HE'S DONE IT! Blake Bohannon Crowned 2026 85cc World Champion!

At just 13 years old, Blake Bohannon has solidifed his name alongside the absolute greats of Australian motocross history. Hailing from the competitive ranks of Aussie junior racing, Blake has spent years cutting his teeth on local tracks, rapidly developing a reputation for technical precision, explosive gate starts and an unmatched work ethic.

Stepping up to the hyper-competitive 85cc big-wheel class, Bohannon has been on an absolute tear. This World Championship victory in Europe isn't just a win—it's a statement. Following in the footsteps of global Aussie icons like Jett and Hunter Lawrence, Blake's flawless 1-1 performance in the Czech Republic signals the arrival of Australia's next major international motorsport superstar.

A massive victory like this doesn't happen in a vacuum. A huge shoutout goes to the core team on the ground pushing the program forward—Thomo, Matty, Ross, Scott and the absolute powerhouse tuning at @mcdracingaus for keeping that weapon of a machine dialled perfectly for European dirt. 

Behind every world champion is a network that believes in the dream. A massive congratulations to Blake, his family and the incredible lineup of partners backing Aussie talent on the global stage:
