Reflections Reflections Reflections 01 Where control ends and commitment begins. 04

The 2024 season felt surreal. Eight championships. Complete domination of the Australian Pro Motocross Championship, sweeping all four classes outright. First and second overall in the premier 450 Supercross Championship. Australian and World Supercross titles in the 250 class. Overall World Team Champions. 05

ra It was a season where preparation met opportunity and dreams became reality. But racing has a way of reminding you that success is never owned, it is only borrowed. And when reality strikes as hard as it did in 2024, the following season becomes infinitely more difficult. 2025 began with heightened expectations, internal, external, unavoidable. Expectations that at times felt “fair dinkum” impossible. Anxiety crept in, not from doubt in effort, but from respect for how unforgiving this sport truly is. Motorcycle racing offers no guarantees. Championships can be taken in an instant. Seasons can unravel in a single corner. We hope for injury-free years, yet we operate every day with full awareness of the risks we cannot control. A motorcycle is a living system, frames flexing, suspension compressing and rebounding independently, thousands of moving parts working under extreme load. Tracks evolve lap by lap. Conditions change. Margins disappear. Every time our team lines up on a start gate, every rider, every lap, I am intrinsically locked in. Watching wheels spin. Chains drive. Feeling 6

every bump. Racing and winning are not simply a pursuit of milliseconds. They are the sum of human psychology, mechanical precision, physical resilience, and emotional control. Behind every gate drop lies complexity: • The mental state of riders carrying expectation and fear in equal measure • Technicians chasing perfection in environments that never allow it • Trainers balancing peak performance against longevity • Team owners managing politics, governance, sponsors, budgets, and belief • Partners who trust us with their brands • Fans who invest emotionally in every result Racing is responsibility layered upon risk. 2024 set the benchmark. 2025 tested our conviction, our ability to meet, and potentially exceed, our own standards. Preparation for 2024 began in December 2023. Preparation for 2025 followed immediately. For more than 750 days we have been locked onto the same pursuit: finding ways to be better. In racing, there are no pauses. Seasons do not wait for readiness. You are publicly exposed. Scrutinised.

Measured relentlessly. You must accept expectation. You must be disciplined, accountable, responsible, every single day. Improvement is not optional. It is required. One of my greatest lessons in 2025 was deepening my understanding of the psychology of this sport, of people. I learned that hiding behind partial truths or convenient narratives never delivers the clarity needed to unlock real potential. Growth demands honesty, even when it is uncomfortable.

acing

Did we surpass our 2024 season? You can be the judge. What I know for certain is this: in a racer’s mind, there is no chequered flag until the final one falls on your career, and that includes mine. The drive to win is not fuelled by past success, but by the belief that tomorrow presents another opportunity to be better than today. That is racing.

Gratitude Honour Purpose 02 Thank you to our family. 8

In 2002, I walked into the offices of Honda Australia in Campbellfield, Victoria. I was 27 years old. I arrived with a dream, yes, but also with a plan: dive in deep, swim fast, and never look back. I had no entitlement to be there. No guarantees. What I did have was an unshakeable love for the sport, a deep respect for people, an active imagination, and a belief that I could contribute to making motorcycle racing better. Above all, I carried a genuine affection for Honda. Across a career spanning more than four decades in the sport, I have raced on Honda machinery for

37 of those 42 years. That loyalty is not accidental. I love this brand, what it stands for, what it was built upon, and what it continues to represent. Honda believes in the joy of motorsport. It is a place where boundaries are defined by your own limits, where effort is rewarded, and where daring to dream is encouraged. We began as a satellite team and in 2008 we became the Factory Honda Team, its an honour I have never taken lightly. What we do is a privilege, not a promise, not a right. Every season, every race, every opportunity must be earned.

“That loyalty is not accidental. I love this brand, what it stands for, what it was built upon, and what it continues to represent”

Teams do not exist without people. They simply don’t. Our team is not just aligned with Honda we consider ourselves an extension of it. An arm of a global organisation that employs more than 200,000 people, supports over 30,000 dealers worldwide, and brings joy to millions of riders, drivers and fans every day. I have the privilege of leading and supporting people across the world, riders, technicians, managers, creatives, and partners. Together, through racing and storytelling, we encourage participation, inspire belief, and promote hope. We stand firmly for inclusion, diversity, and equality, not as slogans, but as principles we live by. Honda gives us the platform to drive change. Our sponsors and partners provide the resources, financial, technical, and intellectual that allow us to pursue excellence. Together, we strive to be better, not just faster. This year alone, more than forty people worked together across multiple continents. We provided opportunities to over thirty riders and delivered on our commitments. Beyond racing, we executed Honda campaigns, contributed to the development and design of protective equipment, produced more than 200 pieces of content, and took fleets of motorcycles to communities so people could experience the joy of riding Honda motorcycles firsthand. We hosted corporate hospitality and partner engagements for more than 1,500 people, staged a Supercross Champions Dinner to celebrate excellence, and competed in over 60 race events across seven championships and multiple classes. None of this happens alone. To our riders, sponsors, volunteers, governing bodies, organisers, and partners thank you. And to Honda: it is an honour to represent you, to serve you, and to carry your values onto race tracks around the world.

A race for change. The Oceania Women’s Championship brought together women from around the world not just to race one another, but to stand together in pursuit of change.

The FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Championship unites international competitors across three race events, where national teams contest overall honours while individual riders also battle for outright victories. It is a championship built on pride, representation, and progress.

“For the second year in succession, Charli Cannon led Australia to victory, but more importantly, she helped lead a movement”

At Wonthaggi, Australia successfully defended its Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup, narrowly overcoming a determined Team USA in a contest that remained undecided until the final laps. Led by SCT Logistics Honda Charli Cannon, Team Australia was forced to fight back with composure and resolve, ultimately retaining the trophy they first claimed in 2024. The margin was razor-thin, Australia prevailing by just two points in a thrilling 79–77 result. Team New Zealand completed the podium, with Team Africa finishing fourth. As Australia’s captain, Charli Cannon delivered a performance of authority and intent, winning all three motos. Her closest margin of victory was 28 seconds; her largest exceeded a full minute. But

beyond the numbers, her leadership set the tone for the entire team. Full gates of women lined up not only to race for medals, but to race for their countries, for personal belief, and for a future where women’s motorsport is seen, valued, and respected. The racing was fierce, uncompromising, and deeply meaningful. For the second year in succession, Charli Cannon led Australia to victory, but more importantly, she helped lead a movement. One built on equality, opportunity, and the shared belief that the next generation of women in motorsport deserves more.

What was once considered unthinkable became reality once again. In 2025, Honda Australia achieved a feat so rare it now sits firmly in the history books, claiming all four national motocross championships for the second consecutive year. MX1, MX2, MX3 and MXW. Every class. Every title. Again. 21

This was not luck, timing, or circumstance. It was the result of showing up every race, every weekend, every gate drop, with the same intent: to compete, to commit, and to never give in. Consistency wins championships, and Honda Racing Australia proved that excellence is not a moment, it’s a habit. To dominate a national championship once is special. To do it twice, back-to-back, across all classes, is extraordinary. It speaks to depth, discipline, resilience, and an unwavering belief that every lap matters, even when no one is watching. Honda secured championships in the MX1, MX2, MX3 and MXW categories, repeating the

unprecedented clean sweep first achieved in 2024 and cementing Honda’s position as the benchmark in Australian motocross. Honda Australia Vice President Peter Singleton reflected on the magnitude of the achievement: “For Honda Racing, repeating last year’s historic clean sweep and winning all four championships again is something truly special. It reflects the unwavering commitment of our riders and crew, and the dedication of our team owner, Yarrive, and our sponsors who bring the dream to life. Four championships across four classes, it’s an incredible team effort and a moment of pride for everyone at Honda Racing.”

“After round one, I wasn’t sure I’d make round two. The crash hurt, then I broke bones in my back before Warwick. I didn’t know how I’d bounce back. But they say you’ve got to be in it to win it and it couldn’t be more true. I’m so proud of the team and thankful to our sponsors. This victory proves the power of perseverance.” - Kyle Webster

In the premier MX1 class, Kyle Webster delivered a season defined by courage and resilience. Injured early, battling broken bones and physical setbacks, simply lining up became a victory in itself. Yet he never missed what mattered, presence, effort, belief. Webster’s determination carried him to a successful title defence, while teammate Wilson Todd, aboard the Berry Sweet Honda CRF450RWE, secured his first MX1 championship podium in third overall. Honda won 10 of 15 races in the premier class proof that consistency

across the season outweighs any single moment. In MX2, Brodie Connolly was relentless. Calm, composed, and clinical, he sealed the championship with a round to spare aboard the Polyflor Honda CRF250RWE, then closed the season with authority by winning the final moto. Teammate Alex Larwood, supported by National Finance and Loans, delivered multiple podiums and a round win, finishing fourth overall and strengthening Honda’s hold on the class.

The MX3 category was nothing short of dominant. Kayd Kingsford claimed the title in commanding fashion, winning 11 of 16 races and six of eight overall rounds. Alongside him, Jett Alsop embodied grit, pushing through injury in the final round to secure second overall, adding two race wins and an overall victory across the season. In Women’s Motocross, Charli Cannon delivered one of the most flawless campaigns the sport has seen. Fastest qualifier at every round. Winner of every race. Champion again. Her season was a statement, not just of speed, but of preparation, belief, and the power of consistency when excellence becomes routine.

Honda Racing Australia’s back-to-back sweep of all four championships is more than a statistic, it is an era-defining achievement. Built on showing up, never quitting, and treating every gate drop as if it matters, because it does.

“No single person can achieve this alone. It’s the strength of the group, the riders, the mechanics, our sponsors, our supporters, that makes results like this possible. With great people and great motorcycles, anything is achievable. I’m grateful to be part of it.” - Yarrive Konsky summed ups the season

AMA Supercross Supercross 05 Quad Lock Honda: David vs Goliath 28

The 2025 AMA Supercross Championship was a test of belief, resolve, and resilience. For Quad Lock Honda, it marked the team’s sixth consecutive season competing in the most competitive supercross championship in the world, lining up not as giants, but against them. Quad Lock Honda raced head-to-head with eight full factory teams in 2025, a number that will grow to ten next season. Budgets ten times larger. Deeper resources. Armies of personnel. And yet, when the gates dropped, none of that mattered. What mattered was preparation, efficiency, trust in the process, and an unshakeable belief that a well-run privateer team could stand on the same podiums, sometimes higher than manufacturers who, in the premier class, failed to do so. Armed with focus, discipline, and the continued support of American Honda, the Quad Lock Honda team lined up every weekend determined to punch above its weight. The roster of Joey Savatgy and Carson Mumford was strengthened just days before the opening round with the addition of Shane McElrath. Dean Wilson was also contracted for selected rounds before an opportunity arose to race for a factory effort in selected rounds, an opportunity the team fully supported, true to its values.

The riders who did race delivered standout performances, meaningful progression, and some of the strongest results of their careers. The season finale in Salt Lake City told the clearest story of just how far the program had come. At round one, McElrath, newly transitioned from the 250 class was lapped and searching for answers. Savatgy showed flashes of speed but crashed in the main event, unable to convert off-season promise into results. Fast

forward to the final round, and the transformation was undeniable. McElrath was in podium contention, pushing aggressively for second and third before a mid-race crash dropped him back. Refusing to quit, he remounted and charged through the field to finish ninth. Savatgy continued his late-season surge with another top-five finish, reaffirming the team’s upward trajectory. Despite missing four rounds after suffering a punctured lung and broken ribs in Indianapolis, Savatgy finished the championship 11th overall.

“Two top-five finishes, it’s okay, But more importantly, we got the bike dialled. We’ve gathered so much valuable data heading into next year’s Supercross season, and that’s the real win.” - Joey Savatgy

“It’s been an amazing season with many milestones, I’m really happy with my riding and

everyone

involved. We’ve built something special, and I can’t thank the team enough for the opportunity.” - Shane McElrath

McElrath delivered the best 450 season of his career, claiming his first-ever podium in the premier class and finishing ninth overall. Carson Mumford showed flashes of real brilliance before injury intervened. As his speed and confidence grew, a seemingly innocuous foot dab resulted in a broken leg, an injury that highlighted the unforgiving forces at play in Supercross. Though sidelined, his pace was undeniable, often matching or surpassing factory-backed rivals through key sections of the track. He finished 13th overall in the 250 East Championship, with a season-best eighthplace result. Since its inception, Quad Lock Honda has been built on resilience, a willingness to be challenged, and an appetite to push beyond perceived limits. That philosophy has already delivered extraordinary results: Brayton and

McElrath on the podium in their premier class, Savatgy racing consistently inside the top five, Max Anstie revitalising his career, winning races and claiming an overall podium, Jordan Smith rebuilding his, and Dean Wilson finding a home where he repeatedly challenged and beat factory riders. This is the reality of David versus Goliath. A privateer team, standing tall, refusing to blink, proving that consistency matters, every gate drop matters, and belief, when backed by preparation can close even the largest gaps. 2026 will look familiar on the surface. But beneath it lies steady evolution, hard-earned credibility, and a program positioning itself for inevitable and significant change in 2027. The giants may be many. But Quad Lock Honda belongs among them.

Racing Breeds Success 06 Chasing gate drops, never forgetting our roots. 34

Quad Lock Honda, MTF, and Honda Racing Australia proudly supported South Australian rider Tomi Doble at the 2025 Australian Junior Motocross Championship, reaffirming their commitment to the future of the sport. The Australian Junior Motocross Championship is more than just a race meeting. It is the most important development pathway in Australian motocross, a proving ground where young riders learn not only how to compete, but how to grow, handle pressure, show respect, and believe in themselves. Hosted annually in a different state, this year’s championship was held at the iconic Gillman Motocross Club in South Australia.

Many of Australia’s greatest riders first made their mark here, Reed, Leisk, Metcalfe, McFarlane, Reardon, Price, Byrne, and the Lawrence brothers. This event sits at the very heart of Australian motocross, shaping the next generation of athletes, leaders, and role models. 2025 marked our biggest season to date, and returning to junior motocross was a deliberate decision. Over the years, we have stood behind and helped guide countless riders through the most formative stages of their careers.

Protectin Looking back, it’s hard to believe how quickly the years have passed. In 2003, we supported a young Matt Moss. In 2025, more than two decades later, we returned to grassroots racing to support Tomi Doble. The outcome mattered, but the journey mattered more. Tomi, alongside Honda and the Quad Lock Honda Team, set the benchmark at the 2025 Australian Junior Motocross Championship, delivering performances that reflected preparation, guidance, and belief. This is where the responsibility lies. Sport has the power to shape lives, to teach resilience, discipline, respect, and courage. Young riders don’t just need equipment and opportunity, they need people willing to stand beside them, coach them, protect them, and encourage them when it’s hardest. Supporting the next generation isn’t optional. It’s essential. The future of motocross depends on nurturing young talent the right way, by investing in people first, by creating safe and supportive environments, and by reminding every young rider that they matter. Protecting that future is a responsibility we proudly accept.

Next Generation 37

AMA Motocross Motocross 07 Proving we belong. 38

Our first full season in the AMA Motocross Championship was never about simply turning up. It was about proving, again that Quad Lock Honda belongs on the same track, in the same fight, as the world’s biggest factory teams.

That belief wasn’t new. In 2022, when we first tested ourselves outdoors with Max Anstie on a 450, we showed flashes of what was possible, finishing as high as sixth against the very best. In 2024, partial campaigns with Australian champions Kyle Webster and Jake Cannon reinforced that message, with Webster running inside the top ten and finishing as high as eighth.

In 2025, Joey Savatgy took that progress another step forward. From the opening round, where he ran eighth, to round four where he was racing as high as sixth, Joey demonstrated that our program had genuine pace and depth. An injury sidelined him after round six, but the team regrouped and returned for the final three rounds with renewed purpose and a strengthened lineup.

Shane McElrath rejoined the program, alongside Australian champions Kyle Webster, Brodie Connolly, and Kayd Kingsford. Webster continued to underline his class, racing inside the top ten at the final round. Connolly, despite a series of mistakes, showed clear top-ten speed and the

capability to compete at this level. Kingsford delivered one of the grittiest performances of the season, injured in practice and qualifying at the final round of the combines, he raced through severe wrist pain to finish 11th against the best amateurs in the world.

While the men battled hard, it was four-time Australian Champion Charli Cannon who captured the admiration of fans and the wider industry in the AMA Women’s Motocross Championship. Competing across all six rounds, run alongside the men’s nationals on the same tracks, Charli embodied everything this team stands for. Her season began just seven days after surgery to plate her index finger following a crash the week prior to the opening round. Unable to properly bend her fingers or hold on, she lined up anyway. She raced the first three rounds injured, with no time to recover, driven purely by determination and belief. When she returned for the final three rounds, she did so with vengeance, winning races, standing on the podium, and fighting her way to second overall in the championship. Across the season, Quad Lock Honda was represented in nine of the eleven AMA Motocross rounds. More importantly, we proved that we don’t just belong in AMA Motocross, we can compete, we can challenge, and we can inspire.

“I have more to give. I want to change the face of women in motorsport along the way.” - Charli Cannon

Charli Cannon closed out the most demanding season of her career by racing the very best in the world and proving she belongs among them at the final round of the World Motocross Championship, held for the first time on Australian soil in Darwin. Against a field stacked with world champions, Cannon delivered a performance that did more than reflect growth; it signalled intent. Throughout a season disrupted by injury and surgery, the Queenslander never wavered. Instead, she rose. From the opening sessions in Darwin, Cannon’s speed was unmistakable. She topped sections of

the timesheets in both free and timed practice, mixing it with reigning champions Daniela Guillén and Kiara Fontanesi and making it clear that Australia was not just represented, but competitive. Moto 1 tested resolve. Cannon launched well and immediately pressured the race leader before a mistake dropped her outside the top 15. Refusing to concede, she stopped to straighten her bike, rejoined the race, and charged forward with purpose. Her recovery to seventh, combined with the second-fastest lap of the race, showcased both speed and composure under pressure.

Moto 2 was the statement. After a poor start and with expectations mounting, Cannon methodically worked her way through the field. She passed the reigning world champion, climbed into third, and closed on the leaders, once again recording the second-fastest lap of the race. It was a ride built on belief, race craft, and confidence earned the hard way. Fourth overall wasn’t the final goal, but it was a clear marker of progress. Cannon didn’t just race the best in the world, she challenged them, beat them on pace, and carried the Australian flag with pride. Fittingly, the weekend ended with a powerful affirmation of belief in her future, as Cannon announced a new two-year contract with Honda. It was a reward not just for results, but for resilience, professionalism, and a refusal to settle. Charli Cannon isn’t just chasing podiums. She’s racing to win, racing to inspire, and racing to redefine what’s possible for women in motorsport, doing herself, her team, and Australia proud every time the gate drops.

World Super Motocross 09 Competing on the world’s biggest stage. 48

World SuperMotocross brought the curtain down on a demanding 31-round U.S. campaign for Quad Lock Honda, one of only a handful of teams in America to contest every major championship: AMA Supercross, Pro Motocross, Women’s Motocross, and the SMX Playoffs.

unmatched live attendance, broadcast reach, and digital engagement. In 2025 alone, more than 1.5 million fans attended events in person, while over 7 million watched live on television, with millions more engaging through social and digital channels.

The scale of the stage cannot be overstated. Supercross and SMX remain the most powerful platforms in two-wheeled motorsport, delivering

Against that backdrop, Quad Lock Honda delivered its most ambitious and successful season to date.

On track, the results spoke loudly. The team secured a second-place finish in Birmingham, multiple top-ten finishes in the premier 450 class, race wins and an overall podium in the Women’s Championship, and consistent representation across every discipline. When the SMX Playoffs assembled nine manufacturers and 30 of the best riders in the world, Quad Lock Honda stood tall. Joey Savatgy finished 9th overall, Shane McElrath 14th, and Dean Wilson 17th, reinforcing the team’s credibility at the highest level of the sport.

Off track, the impact was just as significant. Riders like Dean Wilson, along with Savatgy, McElrath and the broader team, delivered exceptional digital reach and fan engagement. Combined with live events and broadcast exposure, Quad Lock Honda reached more than 10 million people globally, engaging consumers week-in, week-out, with more race starts than any other form of twowheeled motorsport worldwide.

This was not simply about racing more, it was about racing with intent, relevance, and scale. As the SMX season closes, the momentum carries forward. With lessons learned, audiences grown, and credibility strengthened on the world’s biggest Supercross stages, Quad Lock Honda now turns its focus to what’s next. A1 is just around the corner.

Australian Supercross Supercross 10 Eighth Straight Supercross Crowns 52

SX1 - Dean Wilson

SX2 - Alex Larwood

SX3 - Kayd Kingsford

The 2025 season will be remembered as one of the most powerful chapters in Factory Honda Australia’s history, a year defined by resilience, depth, and an unrelenting will to win. Nowhere was that more evident than in Australian Supercross, where Honda asserted its authority once again, securing an extraordinary eighth consecutive Supercross Championship and reinforcing a legacy of sustained dominance. 53

Dean Wilson The Measure of a Champion At the heart of this achievement was Dean Wilson, whose 2025 Australian Supercross campaign ranks among the most commanding ever produced. Wilson won eight of the ten races contested and claimed four of the five round overalls, finishing second in the other. It was a season built on courage, precision, and total commitment. Wilson’s championship journey began under unimaginable personal strain. Lining up for Round 1 knowing his mother was critically ill, he focused on the task at hand and delivered a flawless performance to take the opening round and immediately set the tone for the season.

Tragically, on the morning of Round 2, Wilson received the news of his mother’s passing. Carrying that weight, he delivered two of the most courageous rides of his career, winning both races and dedicating the round to his mum, his “angel on his shoulder.” It was a moment that transcended sport. Rounds 3 and 4 further underlined his class. Wilson went 1–1 again in Round 3, then in Round 4 split the Lawrence brothers, widely regarded as the fastest riders in the world, finishing second overall and once again proving he belongs among the global elite. Honda locked out the podium.

Arriving at the final round with a 42-point lead, the championship was effectively secured, but Wilson wasn’t finished. He won Race 1 to clinch the title, then refused to back off, winning the final race of the season to seal one of the most emphatic Supercross campaigns Australia has seen. Across the championship, Honda won all ten SX1 races, eight by Wilson and two by Jett Lawrence (Team HRC – American Honda). The Quad Lock Honda rider was relentless. Arriving at the final round with a 42-point lead, the championship was effectively secured, but Wilson wasn’t finished. He won Race 1 to clinch the title, then refused to back off, winning the final race of the season to seal one of the most emphatic Supercross campaigns Australia has seen.

Honda’s dominance extended well beyond the number-one plate. Cedric Soubeyras delivered an extraordinary season to finish second overall in SX1 aboard the BOOST Mobile Honda CRF450RWE. Racing with four cracked ribs sustained just five days earlier, Soubeyras defied the odds to claim three podiums and help deliver Honda’s third 1–2 finish in five seasons. Supported by his family and the team, it was a performance built on heart and grit. In SX2, Alex Larwood carried Honda’s charge with distinction. He claimed the final-round overall victory and finished second in the championship, missing the title by just three points. Signed for 2026, Larwood’s trajectory continues to point firmly toward future championships.

If 2025 was about legacy, it was also about emergence and Kayd Kingsford delivered one of the season’s defining stories. After capturing the MX3 Australian Motocross Championship, the 18-year-old set his sights on the rare motocross–supercross double in SX3. Entering Round 4 with an 18-point lead, disaster struck: two heavy crashes, a DNF, and a hospital visit wiped out his advantage and left him six points behind with one round to go. Seven days later, Kingsford returned for the finale with everything on the line.

The equation was simple: win both races and hope. Kingsford didn’t hedge. He topped qualifying, won his heat, won Race 1, and then executed, a holeshot and win in the final race of the season. With five wins from seven finals, he claimed the 2025 SX3 Australian Supercross Championship, completing an extraordinary double and delivering Honda its seventh national title of the year.

From no national titles at the start of the season to two by year’s end, Kingsford’s growth, humility, and composure under pressure marked him as one of Australia’s brightest prospects. He steps up to MX2 and SX2 in 2026. Jet Alsop also impressed, finishing 4th overall in SX3 in his Supercross debut and 2nd overall in MX3, further underlining Honda’s depth and development strength.

Across motocross and supercross, Factory Honda Australia claimed seven national championships in 2025, each earned through preparation, perseverance, and world-class execution. Eight straight Supercross championships, Seven national titles in a single season, A generation of champions established and another rising fast. This was more than a successful year. It was an era-defining season for Factory Honda Australia.

World Supercross Supercross 11 Biggest World Supercross Championship in History 60

A Global Ecosystem, A New Strategy, A New Audience The FIM World Supercross Championship continued its rapid evolution in 2025, delivering the largest, most expansive championship in the history of supercross. Spanning five continents and five major global cities , Argentina, Canada, Australia, Sweden, and South Africa, the Word Supercross Championship cemented itself not just as a racing series, but as a global motorsport ecosystem designed to reach new audiences, new markets, and new generations of fans.

Now in its fourth season since launching in 2022, World Supercross has shifted decisively from a traditional race series into a holistic global campaign, combining elite competition, entertainment, broadcast, digital strategy, and live-event spectacle. The objective is clear: take supercross beyond its traditional borders and place it in front of new eyeballs, new cultures, and new fandoms.

Quad Lock Honda’s Intent: Win Everything Entering the 2025 season, the Honda-led program under Team Principal Yarrive Konsky carried significant momentum, with three world class titles and three teams championships already secured since the championship’s inception. The ambition for 2025 was unambiguous: win both rider championships and defend the teams crown. While Honda successfully captured its fourth consecutive World Teams Championship, the individual titles proved elusive, with the team finishing runner-up in both the 450 and 250 World Championships after a fiercely contested season. In the premier 450 class, Joey Savatgy again demonstrated raw speed and race-winning capability. He qualified fastest in three of the five rounds and was a race winner, but consistency across the championship ultimately defined the outcome. For the fourth consecutive year, Savatgy finished as runner-up, just five points shy of the world title, a reflection of how razorthin the margins are at the very top of the sport.

Teammate Christian Craig returned to form after two injury-affected seasons, showcasing the precision and racecraft that made him a champion in AMA Supercross. Craig won races, ran at the front, and consistently challenged the world’s best, ultimately finishing third overall. Small errors across the season proved costly, but his speed confirmed his renewed strength at the highest level. In the 250 World Championship, Shane McElrath finished second overall, the 2024 World Champion closing the season with authority. McElrath dominated the final round, winning three consecutive races and reminding the paddock of his leadership and class. An inconsistent championship seasoned prevented a title run, but his performance in the closing stages was among the most commanding of the entire series. Across both classes, Honda riders won races, topped qualifying, and beat the best riders in the world. Ultimately, championship success came down to execution across every gate drop, a recurring theme in global supercross.

What separated 2025 from previous years was not just the racing, but the scale of impact: • Sold-out stadiums in Argentina and Australia • Over 100,000 fans attending WSX events trackside • Millions reached globally through live television broadcasts • Strong, measurable digital and social engagement across platforms World Supercross’s evolving strategy, blending racing, music, culture, broadcast, and digital storytelling is clearly resonating. The championship is no longer competing within the existing motorsport landscape; it is expanding it, strengthening its place within the global motorcycle sport ecosystem. Quad Lock Honda’s Result; • Four overall podium finishes for Quad Lock Honda • Fourth consecutive World Teams Championship • Runner-up finishes in both the 450 and 250 World Championships While the ultimate individual titles narrowly escaped, the bigger picture is unmistakable: World Supercross is growing, Quad Lock Honda is central to that growth, and the championship is reaching further than ever before. The platform is bigger. The audience is broader. And the future of global Supercross has never looked stronger.

Written in Red MXON 12 Australia and America Unite. 66

American Honda’s spirit for winning and for sharing the joy of victory continues to unite nations. From its earliest days, Honda has believed that racing is more than competition; it’s a platform to bring people together, to push human potential, and to celebrate progress. American Honda embodies this philosophy, leading with inclusion, inspiring through excellence, and upholding the very foundations of Honda’s identity: The Power of Dreams and The Joy of Creating, Selling, and Racing.

The Motocross of Nations is a living expression of that spirit, nations coming together through courage, respect, and teamwork. It was through this shared vision, and through the leadership and generosity of American Honda, that Australians Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, and Kyle Webster achieved something truly historic: delivering Australia’s firstever MX of Nations victory in 2024, and proving it was no accident by winning again in 2025. These victories were not the triumph of one team or one country alone, they were the result of unity. American Honda’s collaboration, selfless support, and unwavering belief in what could be achieved together made history possible. The world is better when we seek success as one. From everyone at Honda Australia, we thank American Honda for their vision, leadership, and commitment to excellence. The greatest victories are those we share.

Grateful. Humbled. Committed. 14 The strongest teams are built on shared sacrifice. 76

In 2025, we raced across multiple classes in four AMA Championships, three Australian Championships, a World Championship, and state championships in Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia. We lined up at iconic events including the Manjimup 15,000 in Western Australia and the MXGP of Darwin. Through our RIDE RED program, we supported riders in more than 100 events nationwide, including the Finke and Hattah Desert Races. Along the way, the team delivered Demo Days, led multiple campaigns, and proudly watched Kyle Webster join the Lawrence brothers to take Australia to victory for the second year in a row in the MX of Nations. None of this happens by chance. It happens because of great people and great partners.

As we reach the end of another demanding and rewarding season, I want to sincerely thank every partner who stood with us. To those who won’t be returning next year, thank you for being part of another historic chapter, we are genuinely grateful for your belief and support. To those continuing with us, thank you for your loyalty, your trust, and your belief in the value of human effort, commitment, and shared purpose. Everyone carries their own challenges. Yet, time and again, this group chose selflessness, putting the cause first, the riders first, and our partners first, because that trust matters. We are proud of what we achieved together, and deeply thankful for every person who played a role in making it possible.
