Prado joins Monster Energy Kawasaki SMX 2025 roster

Fresh off winning back-to-back FIM World MXGP Championships, Monster Energy Kawasaki welcomes four-time FIM Motocross World Champion Jorge Prado, who will join 2018 Monster Energy Supercross champion, Jason Anderson to compete on the new KX450SR for SMX 2025.

Prado, four-time FIM Motocross World Champion from Lugo, Spain is ready to take on a new challenge after his first taste of SMX in 2024, competing in the first four rounds including a Heat Race win and seventh place Main Event finish in San Francisco.

At only 23 years old and with an outstanding record of 31 MX2 victories, 18 MXGP victories, and four FIM Motocross World Championship titles, Prado continues his pursuit of greatness with goals of bringing his winning ways to SuperMotocross.

Jorge Prado

“Coming to America to race Supercross, Motocross and the Supermotocross World Championship with Monster Energy Kawasaki is an incredible opportunity. I’ve always admired the level of competition here, and I’m excited to challenge myself against some of the best riders in the world. This is a new chapter in my career, and I’m ready to give it everything I’ve got, representing a legendary factory like Kawasaki. The passion and intensity of the fans here is unmatched, and I can’t wait to experience that energy.”

Dan Fahie – Kawasaki Racing Senior Manager

“We have great confidence in our 2025 team roster and are excited to see how Jason and Jorge perform on the new KX450SR. Both riders bring unique strengths to the team, and we’re eager to see how we stack up against our competition. I’m especially excited about the expanding SMX rounds, as they offer us more opportunities to demonstrate our strengths over the course of the season. With Jason’s proven track record and the fresh energy Jorge brings, we believe this year will be a strong one for the Monster Energy Kawasaki team as we push toward new milestones.”

In the 250 Class, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki will retain its lineup of proven race winners, including Levi Kitchen, Cameron McAdoo, and Seth Hammaker, all riding the all-new 2025 KX250.

The team also welcomes back Garrett Marchbanks and Ty Masterpool to permanent positions on the team for 2025. Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green rider Drew Adams has committed to a multi-year extension with Kawasaki, ensuring he will continue his journey with the brand into the pro ranks.

Ken Roczen re-signs with Ecstar Suzuki for SMX 2025

Ken Roczen will return for 2025 to compete in the SuperMotocross World Championship with the Progressive Insurance Ecstar Suzuki Team aboard the Suzuki RM-Z450. Roczen who has had strong results with the team over the past couple years will once again compete at the highest level.

Ken Roczen

“I am very excited to continue my relationship with Suzuki and the team. We have had a pretty successful last couple of years and we are eager to continue chasing our dreams of wins and podiums.”

2025 will be Ken’s third year with the Progressive Insurance Ecstar Suzuki Team competing on the Suzuki RM-Z450. With the time he’s had on the bike and the familiarity with the team, he looks to put in some strong racing and contend for wins.

Roczen and Suzuki fans alike eagerly await the first gate drop set for January 11th in Anaheim, where the season kicks off.

2025 MXGP of Australia to feature ‘State of Origin’ MX3 and MX85 supports

The 2025 MXGP of Australia in Darwin will feature ‘State of Origin’ support classes for MX3 and MX85 competitors, with the unique format to showcase the future stars of Australian motocross at the September 19-21 world championship event.

The MX3 class will be open to riders from 14-U18, and the MX85 for 12-U16 competitors on ‘big wheel’ machines. Both classes will compete in multiple motos on the custom-built track at the Hidden Valley Motorsports Complex.

The inclusion of the state challenge for MX3 and MX85 will add to an already massive on-track schedule in Darwin, which will also include the MXGP and MX2 classes and the FIM Women’s Motocross World Championship – all featuring multiple Aussie wildcards from the ProMX Championship.

Each State Controlling Body in Australia will select two six-rider MX3 and MX85 teams via their own qualifying processes, which will include ProMX and state championship events.

In Darwin, three trophies will be awarded: to the top states in MX3 and MX85, and an overall winner. More details on the State of Origin support classes will be made available in the New Year.

2025 Australian Trial Championship heads to Queensland

The 2025 Australian Trial Championship will be held in Meringandan (Qld) on the weekend of June 7-8. The championship, to be promoted by Moto Trials Queensland with principal backing from The Hell Team and its associated brands TRS and Mecatecno, will see riders battle it out across a variety of senior and junior classes.

Connor Hogan and Jenna Lupo will be the defending champions in the top-tier men’s and women’s classes. Meringandan is located just outside of Toowoomba in south-east Queensland. The venue hosted the 2024 Queensland Trial Championship, with huge granite boulders and deep gullies proving a searching examination for all riders.

Liam Everts to Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing MX2 for 2025

With a fresh start and new race number, 26, Liam Everts is ready to make his mark in an exciting chapter of his motocross career, with Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing for the 2025 MX2 season. Everts will race alongside reigning MX2 World Champion Kay de Wolf, forming a duo that promises to take the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship by storm.

Liam Everts, aged 20, hailing from Hasselt in Belgium, carries a prestigious motocross pedigree as the son of ten-time world champion Stefan Everts and the grandson of four-time world champion Harry Everts. While his family’s legacy has undoubtedly shaped his early career, Liam’s own accomplishments are now speaking for themselves.

Liam Everts

“I’m super happy to join Nestaan Husqvarna Factory Racing – they’re a great group of people, and it’s an exciting new challenge. I’ve spent a lot of time with them in the past, so I feel really good about this move. My motivation to take on a fresh challenge is really high; I definitely needed a change. We both want to win – that’s the ultimate goal. We want to become world champions. We’ll see how everything goes with me coming back from injury, but we’ll take it step by step and see what the speed is like once I’m back on the bike. This opportunity also felt like the perfect time to change my race number – new team, new colors, new number! After the accident, a lot changed, and now it felt like the right time to start something of my own. My family has been super supportive. It feels like an exciting, fresh chapter in my career!”

Valerio Lata joins Team HRC MX2 for 2025

Valerio Lata has joined Team HRC in a multi-year deal that’ll see him ride the Honda CRF250R alongside fellow Italian Ferruccio Zanchi in the MX2 class for 2025. The 19-year-old has had a few wildcard MX2 rides so far in his career – including a third place at the 2024 MXGP of Italy – but the 2025 campaign will mark his first full season in the class and one that is filled with potential.

The season will see Lata and Zanchi in MX2, with five-time world champion Tim Gajser and Ruben Fernandez in the MXGP class, in what is the strongest squad of riders for Team HRC in a number of years.

All four riders are currently training hard, getting themselves in shape for what should be a tough, 20-round season in the World Motocross Championships, which will get underway in Cordoba, Argentina on March 1st.

Valerio Lata

“It is a great honour to be joining Team HRC for the 2025 season, in preparation for what will be my first full-time MX2 season. As a kid, you always know the history of the riders that rode for HRC and it is a privilege to be joining that list now. Last year, they re-started with the Honda CRF250R programme and they had some good results with Ferruccio (Zanchi), so I knew that I would have a good bike and a good setup and now I hope I can help them with even more top results. It is a very professional team who know how to win, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Marc-Antoine Rossi to don Red Bull KTM Factory Racing colors in 2025

Promising French youngster Marc-Antoine Rossi will wear Red Bull KTM Factory Racing colors in 2025 and is set to steer a KTM 250 SX-F in the FIM MX2 World Championship.

The 18-year-old comes into the works outfit for what will be his second attempt at the MX2 series. He has spent much of his fledgling racing career on KTM SX machinery as he ascended through EMX European Championship competition.

Marc-Antoine Rossi

“I’m really happy to be back in orange and to join this crew. I’m already excited for 2025 and will be back on a bike soon and working with Joel. I’ll give everything I have for what will be a long year. I hope I can make the podium at some point next season.”

#28 will come under the guidance of Joel Smets and the rest of the Red Bull KTM structure for the next step in his career path. He will follow in the footsteps of countrymen like Marvin Musquin, Jordi Tixier and Tom Vialle to try and excel in the orange.

The full Red Bull KTM Factory Racing line-up for 2025 in both MXGP and MX2 classes will consist of Jeffrey Herlings and Lucas Coenen riding the KTM 450 SX-F and then Andrea Adamo, Sacha Coenen, Simon Lägenfelder and Marc-Antoine Rossi with the KTM 250 SX-F.

Toni Bou claims 100th X-Trial podium in Pamplona

This weekend, the 2024 X-Trial World Championship concluded at the Navarra Arena in Pamplona. Toni Bou was the winner, with his 100th podium in the indoor discipline. Jaime Busto took the silverware, while Gabriel Marcelli rounded out the final top three.

There was a perfect end to the season for Toni Bou. The 36-time World Champion achieved victory on Saturday, his sixth of the year. In the first round, the Montesa Cota 4RT rider dominated and led the way. In round two, he qualified for the final as the pacesetter and, on the last round, with 5 points to his name, he took the win – his sixth of the year.

Despite giving his all on the remaining sections, Busto made a couple of small errors which ultimately cost him the top spot. Completing the round on 20 marks saw Jaime place third place on the night. The result secured him his sixth podium of the season, and second overall in the championship standings.

Marcelli has started the event with some difficulties and, on the first round, with 15 penalty points, placing sixth. In the second round, the Repsol Honda rider did a perfect job but, despite him cleaning the lap, it was not enough to qualify for the final. With this result, Marcelli finishes in third place in the overall standings, repeating the result of last season and closing the year with 6 podiums.

The X-Trial World Championship’s 2024 season comes to an end, but on December 21st the riders will return for a new challenge in Madrid with the start of the 2025 campaign.

Toni Bou – P1

“I’m very happy with the end of the season. I felt very comfortable on the bike. After the result in Estonia the goal was to get back to the top, and we achieved it. It’s been an almost perfect year, we finished it in the best way, and I want to thank the team for their great work. In December the 2025 season starts and we’re already focused on that. As always, the goal will be to fight for the title, so we’re ready to give it our all.”

Jaime Busto – P2

“Overall, I’m really happy with my ride! I knew going into tonight that the first and second lap were super important to make sure I got into the final to secure second in the championship. I started the night strong but unfortunately relaxed a bit too much in the final and made too many mistakes. I finished on the podium again, though, and got second in the championship which I’m super happy about. It’s been a great season full of strong results, and I can’t wait to carry this momentum into the new season in December!”

Gabriel Marcelli – P3

“Today was a difficult day, I made two mistakes on round one that I carried over into the second round and I couldn’t recover from. We finished third overall and although it’s positive, the goal was the runner-up spot, so we’re left with a bittersweet taste in our mouths. Overall it’s been a great season and I want to thank the team for the work they’ve done. On December 21st we start the 2025 X-Trial season again, so we’ll look to be at our best.”

Al-Balooshi takes crushing victory at Jordan Baja

After finishing 12th on the Prologue stage, Mohammed Al-Balooshi imposed himself on his opponents over the subsequent two stages and romped to a comfortable fourth successive win at the Jordan Baja.

Al-Balooshi (KTM) won the first two stages of 200.60km and 133.53km on Friday through the legendary Wadi Rum region in idyllic weather. The Emirati opened up a gap of more than 10 minutes on the Lebanese Rafic Eid (GasGas), while the Saudi rider Abdulhalim Al-Mogheera (KTM) took third place.

Mohammed Al-Balooshi

“It was good but very difficult navigation today, I caught the other guys after 40km and it surprised me because I was not really ready to be opening this soon. There are many notes without caps so it was a difficult task to navigate, especially when you are in front. But I am really happy to bring the bike home and to finish in the lead.”

Less fortunate, Prologue winner Abdullah Abu Aisheh suffered a swollen arm after a fall. Martin Chalmers also fell and handed in his time card before the end of the first stage. Al-Shayban was ahead of fellow Saudi Abdulaziz Al-Atawi and Al-Noumesi in the quads.

After completing the remaining 185km in the lead on Saturday, Al-Balooshi increased his advantage over Eid and Al-Mogheera, who were riding together. Abu Aisheh and the injured Abdullah Al-Shatti were not able to start the final day and Briton Steven Holt withdrew on Saturday morning after falling on Friday.

The last stage ran along the Saudi Arabian border, then turned north to finish in the Valley of the Moon in Wadi Rum. As Al-Balooshi stormed to the finish to record a fourth victory in the Hashemite Kingdom, Eid pulled away from Al-Mogheera on the run north but he missed three waypoints and was penalised.

The Jordanian trio of Abdullah Al-Batayneh, Hamza Al-Zawahreh and Tia’at Al-Shishane finished fourth, fifth and sixth with Qatar-based Australian Martin Chalmers rounding off the riders at the finish in seventh.

Mohammed Al-Balooshi

“It was amazing to open the day from the first kilometre to the finish line. It was a really fun day. I had a good rhythm and the road book was perfect. There were some moments when I thought the others maybe would catch me until I reached the first refuel. I waited three minutes, looked and no-one came. I just managed after that, calmed down and brought the bike to the finish. I would like to dedicate this win to my mother. She was worried about me even at my age. This win is for her…”

That last round of the FIM Bajas World Cup will take place in Dubai on 29th November – 1st December.

Provisional 2025 American Flat Track Schedule revealed

AMA Pro Racing has announced a 16-round schedule for the 2025 Progressive American Flat Track season, promising an exciting new era with a fresh, all-production ruleset and the #1 plate up for grabs following Jared Mees’ retirement.

That battle for supremacy will open with five consecutive bar-banging Short Tracks, starting with the series’ traditional Daytona Beach double opener during the 84th annual Daytona Bike Week. The schedule then transitions to a run through the Midwest, including a doubleheader in Lima, Ohio, and a high-speed showdown at the “Magic Mile” in DuQuoin, Illinois.

The Sturgis TT will serve as a highlight of the schedule again in ‘25, and this time around it will be joined by an all-new doubleheader – the Jackpine Gypsies Short Track I & II – which will also take place in Sturgis during the 85th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, just days ahead of Sunday’s TT.

The season’s stretch run will feature its two most iconic events – the world-famous 78th Peoria TT and a doubleheader at the legendary Springfield Mile – before returning to Lake Ozark Speedway for a season finale set during the 19th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest.

The AFT AdventureTrackers will return with an expanded schedule in ’25. Building on the class’ highly successful 2024 debut, it will be featured at all three Sturgis events, along with the Peoria TT.

The upcoming season will feature further innovation via the introduction of the Triple Challenge format that will be utilized at the Lima Half-Mile I, Jackpine Gypsies Short Track I and Springfield Mile I, in which the overall winner and final points payout will be determined by three races of increasing distance and importance.

Adding to the excitement along the way will be the inclusion of Royal Enfield’s Build. Train. Race. program at select events.

Tickets for the DAYTONA Short Track I & II are already on sale, while the remainder of the season’s slate will be made available for purchase in the weeks ahead.

Drane tops Gunnedah AFTN finale as Herrick wins title

Thomas Herrick won the 2024 Yamaha Blu Cru Aussie Flat Track Nationals Pro 450 title in an absolute thriller over the weekend, battling past Jarred Brook in the final race to claim the championship ring at Gunnedah’s Balcary Park Raceway over November 16-17.

International sensation Tom Drane took out both the Flat Track and TT rounds with some entertaining duels with Max Whale and Drane’s American Estenson Yamaha teammate Dallas Daniels.

Kristian O’Donnell again dominated Pro Twins on the oval track to wrap up the championship in that class.

In Junior Lites Cooper Archibald successfully defended his title, with Riley Nauta and Neiko Donovan taking round wins.

In Junior 85’s Lockie Duggan held off a strong challenge from Levi Layton to pick up the championship by a mere four points as well as the round wins on both days.

Herrick had to overcome a 21-point deficit to Jarred Brook over the two days of racing and said the win felt like a massive weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Thomas Herrick – AFTN Pro 450 Champion

“The anticipation was killing me, it was a month of waiting to find out how this was going to end! That was the most dramatic finish but I had to go for it. Jarred and I clashed a few times on track but that only made me more motivated, I really felt like I wanted it more. On top of that it was so much fun racing with Tom (Drane), Max (Whale) and Dallas (Daniels), they race hard and are very crafty.”

Jett fastest in France but mistake sees Webb crowned King of Paris

The annual Paris Supercross unfolded inside la Defense Arena over the weekend with six big-bore races to crown the 2024 King of Paris, while 250 cc riders competed in six separate Prince of Paris contests.

Jett Lawrence proved to be the fastest rider by far, but a collision with a lapped rider cost the Australian dearly.  Jett’s CRF450R copped some damage in the tumble and the 21-year-old limped home in 13th.

Despite winning the five other contests, that 13th-place result in the second round saw Jett eclipsed by both Cooper Webb and Malcolm Stewart in the overall standings.

Hunter Lawrence took fourth overall ahead of Dylan Ferrandis and Gregory Aranda.

Mistakes also cost Jo Shimoda in SX2, the Japanese rider’s overall result spoiled by two finishes outside the top ten.

Tom Vialle also made a mistake in the opening bout but finished the five remaining contests 1-1-2-1-1 to beat Kawasaki’s Anthony Bourdon to the Prince of Paris title.

2024 Fox Australian SX Round Four Wrap – Adelaide

See the full report here:
Honda riders dominate penultimate Aussie SX round in Adelaide

The 2024 Fox Australian Supercross Championship joined the VAILO Adelaide 500 over the weekend for the fourth round of the series. The intense Super Sprint Finals format amplified the stakes, with shorter races and rapid-fire action.

In the SX1 class, Quad Lock Honda Racing’s Joey Savatgy showcased brilliance, holding off fierce competition from team-mate Dean Wilson to take the top spot. The duo traded blows in the Sprint Finals, with Wilson pushing hard but ultimately settling for second place.

Joey Savatgy

“I had one bad race after getting caught up with Clout, but the extra point for the fastest lap worked in my favor. The track was super technical, which made it exciting for the fans but nerve-wracking for us riders. I’m happy to have extended my points lead, especially with the Lawrence brothers and Webb joining the competition in Melbourne.”

Dean Wilson

“It’s not over, but I’ve made it harder on myself by not beating Joey here. I tweaked my knee on Friday, which swelled up, causing some pain, but Joey rode great. All I can do is give it everything in Melbourne and see what happens.”

The SX1 breakthrough story came from Jed Beaton of CDR Yamaha Monster Energy, who claimed his first podium of the season with a hard-fought third-place finish in conditions that were made extra tricky by strong blustery winds.

Jed Beaton

“There was a lot going on out there over those four races and I wasn’t even thinking about the points in any race, just trying to keep it on two wheels and get the best result possible.  Starts were so important but mine were so bad that it actually worked in my favour as I was able to see what was unfolding, keep away from the trouble and pick my way through the traffic quickly. But it’s not a plan that I would like to use any time as a good start always makes things easier.  But really happy to be up on the podium and pumped to get this one for the CDR Yamaha team as we have been working away behind the scenes. It’s a shame we have one round to go, as I’m just getting warmed up.”

The SX2 category was a sea of red as Froth Honda’s Shane McElrath extended his undefeated streak, solidifying his championship lead with another flawless performance.

Brodie Connolly and Alex Larwood joined him on the SX2 podium, rounding out a dominant showing for Honda. Cole Thompson missed out on a top-three finish in Adelaide which shook things up a little in the championship standings.

The series now moves to Melbourne for the final round of the 2024 Fox Australian Supercross Championship.
