Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, and Kyle Webster Make History at Matterley Basin to Lift the Chamberlain Trophy for the First Time Ever, Ahead of USA and The Netherlands

For the first time in history, Team Australia has secured the coveted Chamberlain Trophy, emerging victorious at the 2024 FIM Motocross of Nations (MXoN) held at the legendary Matterley Basin in Great Britain. The Australian trio, consisting of Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, and Kyle Webster, put on a masterclass performance to claim the top spot on the podium, ahead of Team USA and The Netherlands.

A Historic Moment for Australian Motocross

Australia’s long-awaited triumph at the MXoN is a landmark achievement for the sport down under. With top talents like Jett and Hunter Lawrence, along with a strong support rider in Kyle Webster, the team went into the event as strong contenders. However, their flawless execution on race day exceeded expectations, delivering a near-perfect team performance across the grueling three-moto format.

Jett Lawrence, already an established name in the global motocross scene, led from the front, showcasing the form that has made him a standout in the MXGP and AMA circuits. His elder brother, Hunter Lawrence, brought experience and consistency, while Kyle Webster’s solid rides ensured that Australia was always in contention across all three motos.

The Races

Matterley Basin, known for its undulating terrain and technical challenges, tested riders to the limit. Despite unpredictable weather and tough conditions, the Australian team maintained composure and resilience throughout the event. In a closely fought battle with Team USA and The Netherlands, the Lawrence brothers and Webster capitalized on their strategic planning and racecraft to secure Australia’s first-ever victory in the competition.

Team USA put up a valiant effort, finishing second overall, while The Netherlands, perennial favorites, claimed the third spot on the podium. Both teams pushed hard, but they were unable to match the combined strength and consistency of Team Australia.

A New Era for Australian Motocross

This victory marks a turning point for Australian motocross on the international stage. For years, the nation has produced world-class riders, but the MXoN crown had eluded them. Now, with this historic win, the future looks bright for the sport in Australia, with more young riders likely to be inspired by the triumph of their national team.

With this win, Australia has firmly established itself as a force to be reckoned with in global motocross. The Chamberlain Trophy, symbolic of motocross supremacy, is finally in Australian hands, and the team will no doubt be eager to defend their title at next year’s event.

The 2024 FIM Motocross of Nations will be remembered as the year Australia rose to the top, and the names Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, and Kyle Webster will be etched in the annals of motocross history.
