Quad Lock Honda and Joey Savatgy after three successful seasons together, highlighted by championships, race wins, championship podiums and a competitive presence across Australian Supercross, World Supercross and the AMA Supercross and Motocross Championship, Savatgy will be moved on.

Yarrive Konsky team owner: “I’ve admired Joey’s career for a long time,” Konsky stated. “I first followed him when he came to Australia to race junior motocross, and I’ve watched him develop into the rider he is today. He races with tremendous heart and grit. I’ve seen him compete injured, push through adversity and remain committed to getting the best out of himself and for the team. You can’t help but admire that hunger to succeed. I’m grateful for what we’ve achieved together. We thank Joey for his commitment, professionalism and contribution to the team. I wish him every success in whatever comes next for him. We part with respect and appreciation, and we look forward to the next chapter of our Honda team.”

His first season with the team saw him dominate Australian Supercross and finish runner-up in the World Supercross Championship, building on the team’s success with Justin Brayton and Dean Wilson. In 2025, he again finished second in World Supercross while recording multiple top-ten results in AMA Supercross and Motocross.

The 2026 season delivered another strong campaign, including a heat race win, a fourth-place finish and multiple top-five results on his way to eighth overall in AMA Supercross. Those performances came despite a broken wrist that required surgery and months of rehabilitation. Savatgy returned to competition and continued to push, although he was unable to regain his full strength before the conclusion of the season.
