After racing to victory in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX East Division Championship opening round at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida in March, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing racer Max Anstie posted up top seven results in the next three rounds of the title chase before suffering a broken left fibula during a practice session at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama.
After a lengthy and exhausting recovery period, Anstie, a British-born racer who found his was to America to race full-time in 2009, competed in the 2025 SuperMotocross playoffs and is now looking to jump back into action for the opening round of the 2025 FIM World Supercross Championship at Stadium Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on October 18.
“I’m good,” said Anstie from the Star Racing Yamaha training complex in Grady County, Georgia. “Doing alright. I’m getting myself going again. I’m getting ready for another good run at it next year. A bit of a bummer when I broke my leg halfway through supercross this year because we were rolling, but overall I’m good. I’ve been training with Gareth Swanepoel and we have all the Star Racing boys over here making steps forward. Yeah, just grinding away.
“The team’s base is in between Cairo (Georgia) and Tallahassee, Florida. Coming over Europe, it was always, ‘Go to California. Go to California.’ And then things started to switch and most of the riders and teams are now primarily based over on this East Coast. It’s definitely out of the way. There is not much else to do apart from just riding and training and getting your laps in and getting your miles on the bicycle and that’s it.
