Defending Australian MX1 champion Kyle Webster will contest the opening rounds of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, after officially being drafted into the United States by Quad Lock Honda.

The Call-Up: Webster is filling in as a guest rider alongside full-time Quad Lock Honda competitor Christian Craig. The arrangement was made possible because Yarrive Konsky owns both the Quad Lock Honda team in the U.S. and the factory Honda team in Australia.

The Debut: The opening round at Fox Raceway on May 30, 2026, marks Webster's first career appearance at the California-based circuit, despite having raced other select AMA Motocross events like RedBud and Southwick in past years.

Championship Pedigree: Webster enters the U.S. circuit with high momentum. He is a multi-time Australian national champion and a key member of Team Australia's winning Motocross of Nations (MXoN) roster alongside Jett and Hunter Lawrence.

Recent Form and Track CommentsWhile Webster hasn't released a detailed public breakdown of the Pala layout specifically, his comments surrounding his recent racing highlight his physical mindset heading into the AMA season.

Overcoming Incidents: Speaking immediately following his last domestic race at Toowoomba, Webster noted he was feeling highly comfortable on his machinery but expressed extreme frustration regarding uneven track prep that caused a massive first-turn pileup.

Physical Resilience: Webster's preparation for 2026 included a brutal preseason training regimen to bounce back from injuries. He noted that when he stays upright and "rides to his potential," his confidence is incredibly high.

Webster is scheduled to contest both Pala (Fox Raceway) and Hangtown before returning to his regular domestic duties.
