Consistency continues for RJ Hampshire and Malcolm Stewart at Thunder Valley National

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire and Malcolm Stewart raced to consistent 450MX top 10 finishes in Round 3 of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Thunder Valley, highlighting ongoing progression being made as the season develops. Hampshire and his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition posted the sixth-fastest qualifying time during the morning sessions, before racing to a well-earned P6 result in Moto 1 on a rutty, technical race track. Moto 2 was another strong showing for the premier class newcomer, who finished in seventh place, and climbed to sixth overall in the 450MX standings in his first year as a full-time racer in the category. “I definitely progressed this weekend,” commented Hampshire. “I made progress during the week with my wrist, and I finally feel like we're turning a corner there. I was inside the top-five again for the first 25 minutes of Moto 1, so I am getting longer with that. Then the second moto, got a good start, then made a mistake early and went down... Got up, then went down again a couple of laps later, so I had my work cut out for me, but that was the strongest I've been at the end of a moto. I'm pretty happy with where we are at and we'll keep on building." Teammate Stewart – also equipped with the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition – raced to 10th in Moto 1, before collecting another P10 score in Moto 2. Those combined finishes rewarded him with eighth overall for the weekend in Colorado. "The day started off a little rough with the mud,” reflected Stewart. “I got off to a mid-pack start in Moto 1 and made a lot of passes to get my way up into 10th there. Moto 2, the track was pretty gnarly in that one, another average start for me, and I made a lot of passes throughout the race. I tried to find a flow and eventually ended up with 10-10 for eighth overall. Things could've been better, but at the same time, we learned a lot, so we'll come back for High Point and try to put this bike inside the top-five."

RJ Hampshire and Malcolm Stewart in the fight at Hangtown National

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire and Malcolm Stewart raced to top 10 results in Round 2 of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Hangtown, withstanding the challenging, hot conditions to record a consistent weekend across the board in 450MX. Hampshire and his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition recorded the fifth-fastest qualifying time during the morning sessions, before racing to a well-earned P6 finish in Moto 1 after battling amongst the leading group. A mid-field start and a mishap had Hampshire’s work cut out for him in Moto 2, however, the 29-year-old never let off, marching his way up to eighth place in what was another strong performance in his second full-time 450MX outing. After two rounds, Hampshire sits eighth overall in the 450MX class points standings. “Hangtown was brutal,” commented Hampshire. “We had another good qualifying session with good speed, and then in the first moto I made some passes and I was right around that top-five again, finishing P6. Second moto, I went down on the first lap and had my work cut out for me on a really hot day. Ended up with 6-8 results, so that’s a bit better than last weekend, and the next goal is to shoot for that top-five and to keep building.” Teammate Stewart rode his Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition to sixth on combined times in qualifying, before posting an 8-10 moto scorecard for 10th overall, and rising to 12th in the 450MX standings after two rounds. "This round was a hot one, for sure,” reflected Stewart. “First moto we got eighth, so that was a really good one for me, and then second moto I went down, which had us playing catch up from that point – a shortened moto made it especially tough to come back from. This round feels like the first for me, just because last weekend was a pretty big disaster, so now I think we are on the right track and we’ll keep moving forward and get ready for Colorado."
