Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team’s Liam Jackson delivered an impressive top-10 result at Round 1 of the 2026 Australian Supercross Championship on Saturday night, racing to ninth overall in the SX1 division on debut with the team.


Announced as a new recruit in the lead-up to the season-opener, the New South Welshman made his first apparance on the Husqvarna FC 450 at North Harbour Stadium, qualifying 11th on the highly technical, hard-packed circuit with a 55.544s lap.

Jackson followed that with a sixth-place finish in Heat 2, before recording a consistent 10-11-10 scorecard across the three Finals to secure ninth overall. With those results, he gained confidence following each outing.

In the end, it marked a solid first outing in the premier class with the Todd Waters-led AUSX Supercross program, with both rider and team now focused on carrying that momentum into Geelong's AUSX Open on November 7.

“My day in Auckland wasn't too bad," recalled Jackson. "We finished up with 10-11-10 individual race scores for ninth overall in what was our first hit out with the team, and the result definitely gives us something to build from for next weekend in Geelong. I'm satisfied with my result at the opener, and if I can be in the top 10 at every race, I'd be happy with that. But in the first season with a new team, we'll take it step by step and prioritise steady progress."

Next Race: November 7 – Geelong, Victoria
