More news from the Motocross and Supercross world as the AMA announced their official 2024 professional numbers today. As always, there’s a ton of riders with new numbers and a few who’ve picked new career numbers. The full list can be seen below but we’ll break down a few for you here.
1 – Last year’s champions obviously have the option to run the coveted number 1. For Supercross that’s likely to be Chase Sexton, although he’s choosing a new career number 4 (#1 indoors, #4 outoors?). Jett Lawrence has the option for #1 outdoors and during the SMX playoffs. We won’t see any number-one plates on 250 indoors (aside from Deegan in SMX) since both Lawrences are now in the 450 class.
4 – Chase Sexton jumps from 23 to 4 in a switch that sees him with a new career number. He’s also debuting the number aboard a new team, likely Red Bull KTM.
22 – Frederik Noren now has Chad Reed’s iconic 22 since Reed hasn’t score points since his retirement. This is not Noren’s career number.
23 – Grant Harlan now takes Sexton’s former 23.
38 – Haiden Deegan drops the 2 and goes to the two-digit 38.
47 – Levi Kitchen goes to 47, an ode to his amateur number.
