Can’t wait ’til A1? Neither can we! We’ve been wide open all week attending team launches and intros for the upcoming 2024 Supercross season. Scroll through to get a behind the scenes look at the action with photos, videos, and more.
Red Bull KTM
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing started the week off with an “A1 Preview” as they lit up their test track at RD Field. Most of the buzz surrounded defending Supercross champ Chase Sexton as this was the first time we’ve seen him aboard his new KTM 450 SX-F. Aaron Plessinger also returns to the team in the 450 division with Julien Beaumer and Tom Vialle racing the 250 class. Beaumer is a Supercross rookie who’s set for West Coast SX while Vialle will stick to the East in his second year in America.

Honda HRC
Next on the docket was Team Honda HRC. Obviously Jett Lawrence is their golden child after a perfect summer and the inaugural SuperMotocross championship, but now brother Hunter Lawrence jumps up to the 450 ranks for ’24. Technically they’ll both be Supercross rookies as neither rider raced indoor “Supercross” during the 2023 season. Jo Shimoda is back with the team after racing for the former Geico Honda outfit and is joined by Chance Hymas who returns after sustaining a knee injury during the Pro Motocross Championship.
Rockstar Husqvarna
The Rockstar Husqvarna Factory Racing Team returns for 2024 with a new two-year deal with title sponsor, Rockstar Energy. Malcolm Stewart, Christian Craig, and RJ Hampshire all return to the team in the 450 class with Casey Cochran and Guillem Farres making their 250SX debuts in the East Coast.
