The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team is gearing up for an exciting 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) season with an expanded lineup. The team will feature five talented riders, ready to take on the competition in both the 450SX and 250SX classes.
Leading the charge in the 450SX class are Malcolm Stewart and Christian Craig. Stewart, who had a shortened season last year due to injury, is eager to get back on the track and continue his impressive performances. Craig, also affected by injuries in 2023, aims to establish himself as a top contender in the premier class.
In the 250SX class, the team will be represented by RJ Hampshire, Guillem Farres, and Casey Cochran. Hampshire, who finished as the runner-up in the 250SX West last year, is determined to clinch a championship title in the upcoming season. Farres, a Spanish rider, will be making his debut in Supercross and is focused on gaining valuable experience. Cochran, a promising teenage prospect, has graduated to the professional ranks and is ready to make his mark in the sport.
The team will ride the powerful Husqvarna FC 450 Rockstar Edition and Husqvarna FC 250 Rockstar Edition bikes, providing a strong foundation for their success. Rockstar Energy Drink has renewed its commitment as the title sponsor of the team, further solidifying their partnership.
The Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team will compete in the full 31-race SMX series, which includes 17 rounds of AMA Supercross, 11 rounds of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, and a three-round SMX Finals series. The team is determined to correct any past mistakes and consistently deliver strong results throughout the season.
Fans can also look forward to the return of the Grit and Grind docuseries, which will provide an all-access insight into the team's journey throughout the season. The series will be broadcasted on the Husqvarna Motorcycles YouTube channel.
Team Manager Nathan Ramsey is confident in the abilities of all five riders and believes they will be competitive in the upcoming season. The team has worked hard during the off-season to prepare for the challenges ahead, ensuring that they come out strong and avoid any major setbacks.
With a strong lineup and renewed sponsorship, the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team is ready to kick off the 2024 SMX season with determination and drive. Fans can expect thrilling performances and fierce competition as the team vies for championship titles in both the 450SX and 250SX classes.
