• DANIELA GUILLEN delivers a dominant 1-1 performance at Hidden Valley, Darwin, to seal her first WMX World Championship on 233 points, 24 clear of Kiara Fontanesi.
• LUCY BARKER battles back from a mid-moto crash in race two to take fifth, securing fifth in the final championship standings on 153 points for the British KTM rider.
• GUILLEN’s title bid was boosted when KIARA FONTANESI crashed on the opening lap of race two, dropping outside the top ten and ending her championship challenge.
• SHANA VAN DER VLIST’s inability to start race two after a sighting-lap crash proved decisive, leaving BARKER 12 points clear of the Dutch rider in the final standings.
• LOTTE VAN DRUNEN and COURTNEY DUNCAN round out the championship top four with 177 and 167 points respectively, completing an all-female global podium behind GUILLEN.
