PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayJTC came out on top at the opening round of the 2026 SuperMotocross Playoffs in Columbus, Ohio, with 199 points. The muddy conditions made the round especially difficult to predict, with both classes seeing major swings throughout the day. In the 250 class, Daxton Bennick took the opening moto win, while Levi Kitchen’s consistent 2-2 finishes were enough to secure the overall victory. Cole Davies rebounded to win moto two, but Kitchen left Columbus with the overall and strong momentum heading into the next playoff round.
The 450 class delivered one of the biggest storylines of the weekend as Haiden Deegan swept both motos to earn his first premier-class overall victory. Ken Roczen finished second with 2-2 scores, while Jorge Prado rounded out the podium. Hunter Lawrence had a difficult opening playoff round, finishing 15th overall after struggling through the wet and technical conditions. With Columbus complete, the SMX Playoffs now move on with the championship picture already beginning to shift.
