Hold on to your helmets, because the speedway world just witnessed a historic moment! Jack Holder has done the unthinkable, reclaiming the Australian Speedway Championship title in 2026 with an undefeated streak across all four rounds. But here's where it gets even more impressive: this isn’t his first rodeo—Holder previously secured the national crown in 2023, proving his dominance isn’t just a fluke.
Starting his victory lap in Albury-Wodonga, Holder continued his winning streak in Mildura before sealing the deal in Gillman. What’s truly remarkable is that he clinched the title during his final qualifying ride of the last round, but he didn’t stop there. In a thrilling finale, Holder defeated the previously unbeaten Rohan Tungate, leaving no doubt about his supremacy.
And this is the part most people miss: while Tungate finished second at Gillman, it was Jaimon Lidsey who emerged as the overall runner-up with 64 points, edging out Tungate’s 61 points. King’s Lynn’s Ben Cook also made his mark, but the spotlight remained firmly on Holder’s flawless performance.
But here’s the controversial question: Is Jack Holder’s back-to-back dominance a testament to his skill, or does it highlight a lack of competition in the current Australian speedway scene? Let’s spark a debate—do you think Holder’s reign is a celebration of talent, or is it time for new challengers to step up? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
