The Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki Team (Empire Kawasaki) eagerly await the gate drop from Round 2 of the 2025 ProMX Championship, taking place at Appin, NSW, with MX1 star Luke Clout and MX2 contender Ryan Alexanderson ready to tackle the ruts and technical hills of the Macarthur Motorcycle Club.

In the MX1 Class, Luke Clout looks to build on the momentum from Round 1 at Wonthaggi, where he claimed 3rd Overall to kickstart his ProMX Championship Campaign.

“We are in a great position compared to this time last year, leaving Wonthaggi with a podium has set the tone for the season”, commented Clout. 

“I love the ruts and hills of Appin and NSW is my home state. The goal was to leave Wonthaggi with solid points and we achieved that, now it’s time to get after it and show the speed I have to challenge for wins”, concluded Clout.

In MX2, new signing Ryan Alexanderson is out for redemption after a tale of what could have been on his debut ride for Empire Kawasaki.

“Considering I was a late addition to the team to fill in for Cambell Williams and his injury, I was happy with my speed at Round 1”, said Alexanderson.

“With that being said, the bike is great and I feel I have a point to prove this weekend to show I belong as a contender in the MX2 Class”, said Alexanderson.

With the MXW Class skipping this round, Taylah McCutcheon will return to action at Gillman SA, for Round 3 of the Championship.

The Penrite Racing GO24 Team Green Kawasaki squad, under the management of Brett Metcalfe, will also look to build on their debut at Wonthaggi.

“It was great to debut our program at Wonthaggi and have a shake down”, said Metcalfe. 

“Now all of our riders have a few gate drops in the bank, I’m excited to see what we can achieve at Appin and continue building the Team Green support and presence for the next generation of riders”, concluded Metcalfe. 

Round 2 of the 2025 ProMX Championship will take place at the Macarthur Motorcycle Club and the Appin Circuit in VNSW, on Sunday April 13th. The event is broadcast across free-to-air coverage on SBS and streaming platform SBS On Demand along with the ProMX TV livestream coverage.

The Winner Triumph Racing Team will venture to the hills and technical ruts of the Macarthur Motorcycle Club for Round 2 of the 2025 ProMX Championship taking place at Appin, NSW on Sunday April 13th.

Following the team debut on Triumph machinery at Wonthaggi, the lead up to Round 2 at Appin has provided opportunity for additional seat time, testing and development across the team roster of riders. 

In the MX1 Class, Jack Simpson returns to Appin for the first time in a decade aboard the All-New Triumph RC-450.

“I love Appin and have had a lot of success there over my career. One of my highlight victories in ProMX occurred at this track in 2013, so I am eager to return to the natural terrain and high speed conditions that I will suit my riding style”, commented Simpson.

“The team and I have made a lot of progress with the bike since Wonthaggi and I look forward to continuing to learn the new bike and establish a solid foundation for the remainder of the Championship”, concluded Simpson. 

Seth Jacskon will aim to land in the MX1 points scoring positions at Appin, building off a career best day at Wonthaggi to kickstart the 2025 ProMX Championship.

In the MX2 Class, Connar Adams and Thynan Kean will take the Triumph TF250-X to the wide-open hills of Appin with the goal of more points scoring finishes.

Both riders demonstrated great speed and track position at Wonthaggi, with Kean looking to emulate the same formula that landed him in 15th Overall, whilst Adams aims to improve track position in the opening laps and consistency to maximise his scoring potential.

Levi Rogers led the CMC Racing charge at Wonthaggi, taking the industry by surprise with a very impressive 6th Overall in MX1 at Wonthaggi along with making the Superpole session and looks to continue that momentum at Appin.

“I felt right at home on the YZ450 at Wonthaggi and the CMC Racing program has given me everything I need to be competitive as a privateer in MX1”, said Rogers.

“I love the sand, but I am equally strong in the ruts and hard pack conditions. Appin is a tough track but I am looking forward to going racing and posting another Top 10 result”, concluded Rogers. 

In the MX2 Class, Sam Larsen has taken the time after Wonthaggi to acclimate back into Australian racing conditions, the current Thailand MX2 National Championship Red Plate holder looking forward to stronger results at Appin.

“Both myself and Joel Evans spent the months leading up to Wonthaggi competing and training in Thailand. The conditions are far rougher in Australia and I knew Wonthaggi was going to be a rough introduction back into ProMX. I’ve had a solid few weeks on the bike and feel far more at home heading into Appin this weekend”, commented Larsen. 

CMC Racing Team development riders Adison Treeby, Hayden and Lochy Roche will focus on taking what they learned from Wonthaggi and applying it to the highly competitive MX3 Class at Appin. 

Team Green supported Joel Evans has also been logging laps since returning from Thailand and Wonthaggi, with a positive few weeks leading into Appin.

“It’s been great to be home and finally get some time on the Team Green CMC Racing KX450”, said Evans.

“We finished 12th Overall at Wonthaggi so my goal this weekend is to qualify for Superpole and lodge a Top 10 Overall”, said Evans.
