Announcement: Anstie, Suzuki
Anstie walks away from RM-Z450.
Twisted Tea H.E.P Motorsports Suzuki just announced that Max Anstie, who has ridden in ‘yellow’ for two years now, will not return to the awning next year. It’s been rumoured that Anstie is set to move onto pastures new for some time, but this is the first piece of confirmation. A new deal is expected to be announced at the beginning of next month. Yes, he will remain in the United States. Twisted Tea H.E.P Motorsports Suzuki’s farewell message is below.

“Twisted Tea Suzuki and Max Anstie will not renew their athlete agreement for the 2022 season after two successful years competing together. Progressing towards the upcoming @SupercrossLIVE season, the team wishes Max and wife Milly well in their future endeavours. Cheers, mate.”
Anstie was twenty-first in 2021 Monster Energy Supercross, despite missing the first seven rounds with an injury. Eleventh was his ranking in 2021 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross (one round was missed in that twelve-round term). It was a successful two-year stint for the duo, which was a significant step for both parties; Anstie moved his life to the United States and H.E.P fielded a podium contender for the first time. H.E.P are expected to replace Anstie with Justin Bogle – they are also in talks with another MXGP rider.
2020 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross – Anstie’s first stint with the team – was arguably the most impressive. Coming into the season off the back of a heel injury, he finished ninth in the championship and finished on the podium in just his fourth moto. Anstie led for eleven of the fifteen laps in that moto and had the victory ripped from his grasp by a wayward backmarker. The next episode of the ‘Anstie in America’ podcast on the MX Vice network will cover his new deal.

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing is happy to announce that Michael Mosiman has signed a multi-year deal that will see him join their talented 250-team line-up. The Californian will race the remaining rounds of the 2024 SuperMotocross World Championship Series, starting with the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX West Championship and then a full season of the Pro Motocross 250MX Championship to campaign for top honours during the three-round SuperMotocross World Finals.

Mosiman has shown strength and the pace to run up front. He took home his first 250SX win at San Diego Supercross in 2022 and finished third in the Western Regional 250 class that season. Unfortunately, injuries sidelined him from a full season last year. Back to full fitness, a re-energised Mosiman is eager to get back on track with the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team and make his debut aboard the YZ250F at Round 6 of the 250SX West Championship at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, on March 23.
Jensen Hendler – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 250 Team Manager
“We’re excited to have Michael join the team. We’ve only been working with him for a little bit, but we feel he has the speed and can battle up front. It’s not easy to jump into a season that’s already been rolling, but we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do and are looking forward to Seattle.”
Michael Mosiman – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #76
“I am honoured to be a part of such a successful team and to be surrounded by so many driven individuals. In my short time of getting to know the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team, I have been impressed with the dedication, commitment, and passion they have for the sport and for winning. I am thrilled to be part of the organisation and am looking forward to getting back to racing. Being off the bike and away from racing for a bit has allowed me to truly reset and return stronger both physically and mentally. I think the partnership with Star Yamaha could not have come at a better time in my career.”
