Max Teague Crowned U15 Australian National Champion at Mt Buller

Max Teague Crowned U15 Australian National Champion at Mt Buller

Mackay Cycles is incredibly proud to celebrate an outstanding week of racing for Max Teague at the 2026 GWM Mountain Bike National Championships in Mt Buller, Victoria.

Max has already delivered a massive start to the championships, helping his team claim gold in the Junior Team Relay before backing it up with a brilliant ride to win the U15 Men’s XCC and secure the Australian National Champion title.

Gold in the Junior Team Relay

Thursday’s opening cross-country action saw Max line up in the XCR – Junior Team alongside Benjamin Swan, Sylvia Dagg and Austin Trotter. The team delivered a dominant performance to take the win and open the championships in style.

It was the perfect way to start the week and showed the strength, composure and form Max has brought into nationals.

U15 Men’s XCC National Champion

Max backed up again on Friday morning in the U15 Men’s XCC, riding strongly to take the win and pull on the green and gold as Australian National Champion.

It’s an outstanding result on the national stage and a reward for the hard work, commitment and consistency he has shown all season.

A Huge Ride at Nationals

To win at a championship like this takes far more than speed. It takes preparation, confidence, race craft and the ability to deliver when it matters most.

Max has done exactly that at Mt Buller, racing with confidence and composure against the best young riders in the country.

Still More to Come

And he’s not done yet.

Max is also set to line up in the U15 Men’s XCO, with that race scheduled for Saturday at lunchtime. After already taking national gold in the relay and XCC, all eyes will be on what he can do next.

Everyone at Mackay Cycles is proud to support Max and we’re excited to keep following his ride through the rest of the championships.

From All of Us at Mackay Cycles

Congratulations Max. What a performance.

To win on the national stage is special. To do it with more racing still to come makes it even more exciting. We’re proud to see a young rider from our region racing with such strength, class and determination.

Go Max!
