Anstie And Yamaha Part Ways

After signing and multi-year deal back in 2024, Max Anstie and the Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha team have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. Anstie looks to defend his championship in the FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) and it looks like the Yamaha program wasn’t willing to accommodate that request. This announcement comes during the midst of the 2026 Pro Motocross Championship where Anstie has yet to complete a round after crashing during qualifying at round one at Fox Raceway in Pala, California.

“I’m proud of everything that I achieved with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing,” Anstie said. “It was a dream of mine to ride for the team. We shared a lot of success and I’d like to thank them for all the hard work and great memories over the last two years. I’m excited for my next chapter and what the future holds.”
