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).

The first round of 15 MXGP wildcards was announced in July, with another 10 to now join them across the MXGP, MX2 and WMX (women’s) international classes in Darwin, for what is a massive show of support to the long-awaited return of the FIM Motocross World Championship Down Under.

The second round of wildcards, chosen by Motorcycling Australia and endorsed by MXGP rights holder Infront Moto Racing, are as follows:

MXGP

• Nathan Crawford (Qld, KTM)
• Levi Rogers (Qld, Yamaha)
• Zachary Watson (Qld, Triumph)

MX2

• Seth Burchell (NSW, Yamaha)

WMX

• Taylor Thompson (NSW, KTM)
• Sienna Giudice (NSW, KTM)
• Madison Healey (Vic, KTM)
• Samantha Macarthur (NSW, Husqvarna)
• Felicity Shrimpton (Qld, Triumph)
• Mia Tongue (NSW, Honda)

In terms of wildcard representation in Darwin, the WMX class will feature 11 Australian riders, with eight in MX1 and and six in MX2.

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.

Four rounds remain in the 2025 FIM Motocross World Championship, beginning in The Netherlands on August 24 followed by Türkiye (September 7), China (September 14) and the grand finale in Darwin from September 19-21.
