This past weekend, Round 4 of the 2026 Triple Crown Series headed to Gopher Dunes and what many claim to be the toughest national of the year. With deep sand and muggy weather, racing two long motos is always challenging for the riders and their machines, and this year was no different. As they sometimes say, only the strong survive, and on Sunday that was certainly the case. In the WMX class, Jordan Jarvis proved why she is the title favourite this summer by excitingly winning both motos. The 250 Pro/Am class saw Ryder Malinoski and Dylan Rempel trade moto wins with entertaining battles in both races. Finally, the 450 class featured some excellent racing with Harri Kullas taking the overall win after Dylan Wright ran into some bike troubles while leading the second moto. It was a great day of racing at Gopher Dunes, and now the series moves to its furthest Easterly location and Round 5 at Riverglade Raceway in New Brunswick. But before we look ahead to this coming weekend, let’s take a look at some incredible Max Dobie photos from Gopher Dunes!
Dylan Wright didn’t get a great start in either moto, but he charged forward very quickly.These two battled hard in both 250 Pro/Am motos! Harri Kullas has been riding well this summer and it was only a matter of time until he got a win. The series new trackside reporter Ciel Ferguson has been doing a great job so far this summer. It was good of Jordan Jarvis to see that the fans were thirsty at the Gopher Dunes podium. Kullas holeshotted both 450 motos and was able to remain clean for at least a few laps. Harri Kullas is a proud family man and now he’s a Triple Crown Series winner. Harri cools off his new Team Manager Kaven Benoit. Ryder Malinoski shows perfect style as he raced to the overall win at Round 4. This kid is focused and has been gaining confidence with each race in 2026. Malinoski trained for weeks on the ClubMX sand track and those laps clearly helped him on Sunday. Brandy McLarty rode great on her home track and finished second overall in the WMX class. After two hard WMX motos Brandy celebrates at the Gopher Dunes podium. American sand specialist Kyle Murdoch rode well at Round 4!With cooler temperatures than normal on Sunday, the riders still had plenty of energy on the Gopher Dunes podium. Racing in his first-ever pro national at Gopher Dunes AVL Husqvarna rider Ayrton Pomeroy rode well, but also felt the wrath of the tough track. Prior to the motos it’s cool to see the riders so focused and calm. Noah Porter is proving to be a very special rider and the future looks very bright for him in the 450 class. Sebastien Racine tries to cool down after a challenging 450 moto. After two tough 450 races Racine would end up third overall. Coming into Round 4 Dylan Rempel really needed to win both motos to get back into the 250 title fight. Jayden Riley has been having a solid summer so far in 2026. The start and first turn at Gopher Dunes is always exciting to watch. The Gopher Dunes crew went all out of making some very cool trophies. Noah Viney is still trying to get comfortable in the 450 class. Thankfully, he’s been getting better with each moto. Although he missed the podium in the 450 class, Tanner Ward rode great on the rough Gopher Dunes track. It’s always fun to watch Dylan Wright ride the challenging Gopher Dunes track whenever the Triple Crown Series come to town. There is never a dull moment when Dylan Wright is racing! See everyone in Riverglade.
