The field for the second running of the FIM Women’s Motocross Cup is starting to take shape, with the American Motorcyclist Association locking away its group of five riders to contest the March 22-23 event, held alongside the opening round of the Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores in Wonthaggi.

The line-up from the United States of America consists of Jamie Astudillo, Jordan Jarvis, Kyleigh Stallings, Lachlan Turner and Mikayla Nielsen, in what will be the first time the AMA sends a team to the growing competition.

The specialty event within the opening round of the championship will feature five-rider teams from Australia, New Zealand, United States and FIM Africa.

Astudillo is a rising star in motocross, earning the Triple Crown Series WMX East Championship last year and now has the opportunity to represent the stars and stripes.

A nine-time AMA national champion and the first woman to qualify for a pro national event, Jarvis is a lightning-quick presence on the track and will greatly help the United States’ efforts in Australia.

Stallings will bring a winning pedigree to the team, showing her worth by being a multi-time champion in the AMA WMX class at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship. Last season, Stallings picked up Women’s Motocross (WMX) Championship wins at Ironman and High Point.

Coming off her 2024 AMA WMX championship victory, Turner’s speed will be a major help to the American charge in Australia, her efforts last season the source of her nomination for AMA Female Racer of the Year honours.

Nielsen — the 2019 AMA Female Racer of the Year — has already made waves in the women’s motocross scene, and will continue to build her legacy as part of the squad that travels to Australia.

“We are thrilled to have the AMA Women’s Motocross Team competing in the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup in Australia,” Team Manager Christina Denney said. “As team manager, it’s both an honour and a privilege to lead such a talented group of athletes, and to serve as a role model for women around the world.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the strength and skill of women in motocross on the global stage, and we are excited to represent the USA in this prestigious event.”

The opening round of the 2025 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores will be held on March 22-23 at Wonthaggi. Tickets for the two-day event will be released soon.
