Team Husqvarna riders delivered a convincing haul of results at the 2024 AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, led by Landon Gibson in securing third place in the Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C category, alongside Vincent Wey in claiming P2 in the Supermini 2 (13-16) class at Loretta Lynn MX.
It was a high-profile debut for the revamped amateur program under the newly-introduced Team Husqvarna brand, as Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Elite team prospect Gibson fought hard throughout the week-long event at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, as did Select team line-up Wey, Maddox Temmerman, Steven Green, and Abshur Hall.
Gibson saved his best for last in Schoolboy 2 (12-17) B/C with 5-4-2 scores onboard the on the Husqvarna FC 250 – his charge to second with a last lap pass in the final moto enough to land him on the podium overall. He also took fourth in 250 B with 2-9-4 finishes, completing a consistent week across both classes.
An untimely crash in the first Supermini 1 (12-15) moto had Wey on the back foot from the outset, but he managed to claw his way back into contention with a string of solid finishes. Fourth in the remaining pair of Supermini 1 races left him 12th overall, but it was his 3-2-9 results in Supermini 2 that placed him second on the podium.
The 85cc (10-12) and 85cc (10-12) Limited classes featured Temmerman on his Husqvarna TC 85, impressively putting forward top-five results in both divisions. He went 4-6-7 for fourth in 85cc and progressively managed to trend in the right direction with 10-7-3 scores in 85cc Limited for P5 overall. In addition, Hall charged hard to P8 in the 65cc (7-9) and 10th in the 65cc (7-9) Limited classes on his Husqvarna TC 65.
