Jet Alsop debuted his Ride Red Honda CRF250R to unanimous success at the Opening Round of the 2025 ProMX Championship, where a challenging Wonthaggi track was tamed by a consistent day of speed, landing Jet in 3rd Overall.

Finding speed and comfort from the beginning of the weekend, a confident MX3 Qualifying session placed Jet with the 2nd fastest time across the two groups of riders heading into Sunday’s races.

In the opening moto, a start at the backside of the top 10 saw Jet charge through the field, establishing 3rd place by the latter stages of the moto, maintaining the podium finish to the chequered flag. 

In moto 2, a team decision was made to switch from the Michelin Sand tyre to the Michelin Mud tyre, a call that was rewarded with a great start and opening lap track position. Pushing through battles at the spring part of the race, Alsop once again established 3rd in the moto and consistently logged laps to score 3-3 motos and 3rd Overall on the day.

“My goal for Round 1 was to show the speed we have on the Honda but to also be consistent and build a base for this season and the MX3 Championship.”

“We achieved that and I am happy to have a podium to build from to start the season. I want to thank Honda, the JP MX Development team and all of our sponsors for the unwavering support in making this podium happen at Wonthaggi,” commented Alsop. 

Jet Alsop now focuses on Round 2 of the ProMX Championship, taking place at Appin, NSW on Sunday 13th April. 

The Caloundra Motorcycle Centre (CMC) Racing Team kicked off the 2025 ProMX Championship with great success, as MX1 Rider Levi Rogers excelled on his return to racing for the team following injury in 2024. 

Rogers set the 8th fastest time in the MX1 Superpole session as the lead Privateer against the Factory teams and maintained this momentum throughout the day, excelling on the sandy Wonthaggi circuit to post 8-6 moto scores and 6th Overall on the day.

“The track was tough today but I really enjoyed the conditions and it suited my riding. I found a flow in both motos and in the last race I had a great start that allowed me to go with the lead group.”

“I want to thank Zac from Caloundra Motorcycle Centre and all of our team partners, we have a  great bike and group around us this year and I’m excited for the rest of the Championship”, commented Rogers.  

MX2 rider Sam Larsen, current MX2 Thailand Motocross Championship leader, struggled to adapt to riding back on ProMX conditions after time racing overseas. Lodging 18-21 moto scores, Larsen would claim 23rd overall with lots to work on before Appin. 

“We flew in yesterday from Thailand and honestly it was just a shock how rough the track was after spending time in Thailand racing on their tracks. I enjoyed the day with the team, my bike felt great but we will get some bike time before Appin and be ready to go”, said Larsen.

Across the MX3 Class, two groups of Qualifying led to a steep learning curve for Class rookies Adison Treeby, Hayden and Lochy Roche across the weekend on the black sand of Wonthaggi, where the goal to work on Qualifying times will be priority heading into Appin.

Team Green supported Kawasaki mounted Joel Evans also debuted under CMC Racing support at Wonthaggi, the Privateer To Pro  fan favourite also returning from the Thailand National Championship to finish 12th Overall in MX1. 

“I honestly haven’t ridden a rut for about 6 weeks so yesterday I was way off the pace, but we improved the bike each time we hit the track along with my results. This is the best race day support I’ve had around me with Zac and CMC Racing and I’m excited to see what we can achieve for the 25’ Championship”, concluded Evans.

CMC Racing now focuses their attention on Round 2 of the ProMX Championship, taking place at Appin, NSW on Sunday 13th April. 

The Caloundra Motorcycle Centre (CMC) Racing Team has unveiled a new expanded roster of riders heading into the Opening Round of the 2025 ProMX Championship, taking place this weekend at Wonthaggi in Victoria. 

As a dealership based team, CMC Racing will see a change to Yamaha in 2025, having previously fielded a pro line up on BETA in 2024. 

MX1 Pro class rider Levi Rogers returns to CMC Racing once again in 2025 and will lead the charge of privateers on the YZ450F. Rogers comes into 2025 after a hand and finger injury from the penultimate ProMX Round of 24’ at MX Farm, where subsequent surgeries and procedures kept him off the bike for a prolonged amount of time.

“My injury from MX Farm was complicated and I had to allow my hand and finger time to heal, especially with the skin graphs. We haven’t been back on the bike long but I am comfortable on the Yamaha and I spent many years riding blue, so I honestly feel very comfortable heading into Wonthaggi”, commented Rogers.

Added to the team line up for 2025 is Sunshine Coast local Sam Larsen who will ride in the MX2 class. Larsen, the current points leader in the Thailand Pro Motocross Championship, returns to Australia from a 2 Round trip to Asia and looks to take his current form overseas to success domestically.

“I’ve had a growing relationship with Zac and the CMC team for some time and to be a part of the full team operation for 2025 Is a real step forward for me. My racing in Thailand has really given me the confidence to push my results forward here in ProMX and we have developed a great bike with the YZ250f to challenge as privateers in MX2. I’m excited to go racing”, concluded Rogers. 

Establishing a multi class line up, the addition of new riders in the MX3 class is also a first for CMC Racing, with Hayden Roche, Lachlan Roche and Addison Treeby going the CMC Racing team in 2025.

Caloundra Motorcycle Centre co-owner Zac Simpson commented on the growth of CMC Racing for 2025;

“As a dealership based racing team, we have access to local talented riders who need support to go racing at the highest levels and we are passionate about supporting our customers that want to race at ProMX.”

“Levi we have supported for many years and the addition of Sam Larsen, along with the MX3 riders is a great way to showcase Yamaha as a partner of ours within the dealership, along with all of the brands, products and sponsors that have stepped up to make this possible in 2025”, commented Simpson.

In another new avenue for CMC Racing in 2025, Joel Evans will also join the program under Team Green support on the Kawasaki KX450. Evans a long time privateer stand out in ProMX and AUSX, will debut Team Green Kawasaki branding for the CMC program.

The Opening Round of the 2025 ProMX Championship will take place at the Wonthaggi Circuit in Victoria on March 22nd and 23rd. The event is broadcast across free-to-air coverage on SBS and streaming platform SBS On Demand along with the ProMX TV livestream coverage.
