Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing Announces Regions for All Seven Riders
Earlier this week, Yamaha announced Haiden Deegan's respective region for the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. After two seasons of racing in the 250SX East Region to start his career, the two-time 250SMX SuperMotocross World Champion will contest the 250SX West Region in 2025. So, how about the rest of the team?
This morning, Yamaha announced the respective region for all seven riders (yes, seven riders and no that is not a typo).
Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing has now confirmed all seven riders' respective 2025 SX regions:
250SX West Region:
#38 Haiden Deegan, #93 Michael Mosiman & (number TBA) rookie Cole Davies
250SX East Region:
#31 Max Anstie, #41 Nate Thrasher, #20 Pierce Brown, and #34 Daxton Bennick.

The biggest remaining pieces of the puzzle rely on RJ Hampshire's wrist injury and if he decides to race with the #1W or take the extra month and go to race the 250SX East Region, and with the five-rider Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki team and the four-rider Triumph Racing team.
