The 2026 Yamaha Aussie Flat Track Nationals opened at Maryborough, where Cameron Dunker won Rounds 1 and 2.

What gets me is Dunker's first win. He produced a 30.945-second final lap and took Whale by 0.117 seconds. Then he handled the split sprints on Sunday's TT circuit and finished eight of nine races on the podium. Repeating that limit from turn-in to exit is what created the 18-point gap.
