Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing

NEWS:

The Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha team has a lot going on coming into 2025, particularly on the 250 side. New riders, new goggles, and more. Take a min to take in all the details.

Gear for all 250 riders: Alpinestars helmets, Alpinestars goggles, Thor gear, and Alpinestars boots.

Incoming Riders

#28 Christian Craig (450): Christian Craig returns to the team he left at the end of 2022! This is a weird one to explain. It sounds as if Craig is actually riding for the "250 side of the team" as it's owned by Bobby Regan. The 450 side is owned by Yamaha and full with three riders. Craig will be allowed to do his own gear deals still for 2025 and 2026, as he has signed a two-year deal with the team.

Craig Gear: Fox helmets, Fox goggles, Fox gear, and Fox boots.

#31 Max Anstie (250): Anstie joined the team mid-way through the 2024 Pro Motocross season. He has a contract for 2025 and 2026.

#20 Pierce Brown (250): Brown switches to Star Racing, after spending his hole pro career with TLD. He has a contract for 2025 and 2026.

#93 Michael Mosiman (250): Mosiman joined the team early in 2024 but we haven't seen him since due to injuries. He has a contract for 2025.

Cole Davies (SX Futures): Davies will race a full season of SX Futures and his Pro Motocross schedule could vary depending on his readiness. Our understanding is he's on a three-year deal.

Kayden Minear (SX Futures): Minear will race SX Futures and amateurs in 2025 for Star Racing. We believe he's on multi-year contract.

Caden Dudney (SX Futures): Dudney will race SX Futures and amateurs in 2025 for Star Racing. We believe he's on multi-year contract.

Carson Wood (Amateur): Former Team Green racer Carson Wood moves up from Superminis and straight to Star Racing.

Returning Riders

#2 Cooper Webb (450): Webb returns for the second year of his current contract, with rumors of an extension already in the works. Webb will move over to Fly Racing helmets and gear for 2025.

Webb Gear: Fly helmets, 100% goggles, Fly gear, and Alpinestars boots.

#3 Eli Tomac (450): Eli Tomac is back! We've said that a few times the last couple seasons but this will be the last "full pro season" for Tomac. Does it mean he's done at the end of 2025? Maybe, maybe not. He could return in 2026 for SX only, but we can say 2025 will be the last time we see Tomac attempt a full season in all series.

Tomac Gear: Bell helmets, Oakley goggles, Alpinestars gear, and Alpinestars boots.

#32 Justin Cooper (450): Justin Cooper looks to have a one-year extension in hand and will be changing gear brands as he moves to O'Neal for 2025, along with HJC helmets.

Cooper Gear: HJC helmets, Oakley goggles, O'Neal gear, and Alpinestars or Gaerne boots.

#38 SX / #1 MX & SMX Haiden Deegan (250): Deegan enters his third pro season with rumors pointing to him racing the West region of 250 Supercross. If he chooses to follow the same path as Jett, 2025 could be his last 250 Pro Motocross season. Haiden has a contract with the 250 team through 2025 with an option of sorts for 2026. Could we see Haiden do 250 SX and 450 MX in 2025? Wouldn't surprise us one bit.

#41 Nate Thrasher (250): For the fifth season, Nate Thrasher will be racing with Star.

#34 Daxton Bennick (250): After going to Star Racing on a handshake agreement for SX Futures in 2023, Daxton Bennick has been rewarded with a two-year deal taking him into 2024 and 2025 with the team.

Departing Riders:

Stilez Robertson: Robertson departs Star for 2025, reference Triumph.

Nick Romano: Romano departs Star for 2025, reference Phoenix Honda.

Jordon Smith: Smith departs Star for 2025, reference Triumph.

Gavin Towers: Towers departed Star after SX Futures, he's attempting to find a deal in the US for 2025.

Enzo Lopes: Lopes didn't line up in 2024 due to a recurring arm injury. We don't expect to see him return in 2025.
