United States Emerges Victorious at 2026 FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup

Lachlan Turner leads the way for the Americans’ inaugural victory at the event

I’m extremely proud of how they represented not only themselves, but our country.”

While Turner led the way for the Americans, several other riders were monumental in the team’s success. Mayla Herrick — racing at just 16 years old — went 3-3-3 in motos while Jordan Jarvis (4-4-4) and Jamie Astudillo (5-7-6) added quick performances to push the United States to the runaway victory.

The United States avenged its second-place finish at the 2025 FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup, where the team fell just two points shy of Australia for the championship.
