Reports indicate the decision was driven by Anstie's desire to commit to the expanding WSX calendar, a move that ultimately could not be accommodated within Yamaha's racing program. Yamaha thanked Anstie for his contributions and wished him success in his future endeavors.\r\n\r\nAnstie joined Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing in 2024 and quickly became one of the team's top 250 riders. During his tenure, he earned multiple podium finishes in AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross competition while continuing to establish himself as one of the sport's premier international racers.\r\n\r\n\"I'm proud of everything that I achieved with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing,\" Anstie said in a statement. \"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.\"","excerpt":"<p>Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing and Max Anstie have officially ended their partnership by mutual agreement, effective immediately, bringing an &hellip;<\/p>","date":"July 3, 2026 09:38","categories":[{"id":25047609,"title":"Moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"}],"tags":[{"id":25049161,"title":"Max Anstie","slug":"max-anstie"},{"id":25049662,"title":"Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha","slug":"monster-energy-star-racing-yamaha"},{"id":25047675,"title":"moto","slug":"moto"},{"id":25047764,"title":"mx","slug":"mx"},{"id":25047987,"title":"SX","slug":"sx"},{"id":25048971,"title":"wsx","slug":"wsx"},{"id":25047984,"title":"yamaha","slug":"yamaha"}]},{"id":10741,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2024\/10\/04\/christian-craig-returns-to-monster-energy-yamaha-star-racing\/","title":"Christian Craig Returns to Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing","content":"Christian Craig is returning to the Yamaha Monster Energy Star Racing team for the 2025 SuperMotocross Season.
