Maybe also pushing for a spot on the Australian Motocross of Nations team for 2024, the current red plate owner in the Australian 450 motocross championship, Kyle Webster will contest the Southwick and RedBud rounds of the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship in 450MX with the full support of Fire Power Honda.

Rumours in Australia even have the former GP rider as the third rider in the Aussie line-up for Matterley Basin in early October. At 28 years of age, the rider from Western Australian, holds a slight lead over another former GP rider, Jed Beaton in the championship and you would think that Beaton still has a shot at lining up for Team Australia this year.

As for Webster, he told Australian website Motoonline about his goals and dreams and those include some international success. He will have full support from his Aussie team for these American races.

“I’m heading over to race Southwick and RedBud,” Webster told MotoOnline. “I fly over tomorrow and fly back straight after RedBud. I’ll be racing with the Fire Power Honda guys – I’m really lucky, they’re going to take the truck and stuff there for me and build me a bike for it. The team are in a kind of down period right now, so we’re going to head there now. I’ll get to Los Angeles and spend a few days there just to break the trip up a little bit… I’m not 100 percent sure that I’ll get to ride before Southwick yet, but I’m hoping that I do.

Webster was a member of Team Australia in 2019 at the Assen event and with Hunter and Jett Lawrence two of the best 450 riders in the World, its hard to see anyone else but those two on the big bikes, which would mean either Webster or Beaton would have to race the 250.

On the 250 at MXoN in 2019, Webster scored seventh overall in the class with 23-14, but did score a very impressive third in the MX2 qualifier on the Saturday, finishing behind Justin Cooper and Calvin Vlaanderen and ahead of Jago Geerts, Maxime Renaux, Simon Langenfelder, Thomas Olsen and a long list of very good MX2 riders.
