The full line-up of local wildcards has now been locked in for the MXGP of Australia in Darwin from September 19-21, with the 25 riders drawn from the 2025 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX).
In terms of wildcard representation in Darwin, the WMX class will feature 11 Australian riders, with eight in MX1 and and six in MX2. Among them. Todd Waters and Nathan Crawford (main photo) are the riders with past MXGP experiencie. Crawford rode for 114 Motorsport Honda back in 2019 in the MX2 class. He recently finished 2nd in the Australia Pro Motocross series this year.
And just like the late Andrew McFarlane and Michael Byrne did as 500cc wildcards at the Broadford round of the FIM Motocross World Championship way back in 2000, they’ll be determined to put their names up in lights with glittering performances.
