Team Australia will take a star-studded line-up into the 2024 FIM Monster Energy Motocross of Nations (MXoN) in England from October 4-6, with the precociously talented Lawrence siblings – Jett and Hunter – to be joined by local star Kyle Webster in the battle for the prestigious Chamberlain Trophy.
The Honda-riding trio will all take exceptional form into the blockbuster international event, with Webster currently leading the premier MX1 class in the 2024 ProMX Championship, while factory duo Hunter and Jett are first and equal second respectively in the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship in the 450cc class – the same category where Jett produced an irresistible unbeaten season in 2023.
Webster, 28, is currently riding alongside the Lawrences in the AMA Pro Motocross paddock during a break in the ProMX calendar, with the MXoN already a major talking point for the Aussie hard-chargers – an event where Team Australia has come tantalisingly close to victory in the past but without achieving the ultimate reward.
Meanwhile, in May, Jett became only the third rookie after Jeremy McGrath and Ryan Dungey to win the 450cc class in the AMA Supercross Championship, adding more silverware to an already burgeoning CV for the 20-year-old Queenslander.
The only major point of CV differentiation between Jett and the American stars is that they are both MXoN winners, which is a gap the Aussie would dearly love to close in 2024.
Team Australia (Jett, Hunter and Dean Ferris) gave it a tremendous shot in 2023 when it finished second behind home team France in front of a boisterous crowd, eclipsing its third-place results in 2011 and 2022.
