ALWAYS IN THE HUNT
Sep 28th 2026

The last SMX race of the year blasted off at the beautiful Thunder Ridge Nature Arena last weekend and FLY Racing never looked better. Between RJ Hampshire making his last performance for FLY Racing, Cooper Webb wrapping up his tenure on Yamaha’s, and the youth of the sport representing on KTM e-bikes and the WMX class putting on a show, it was quite the Saturday.
RJ Hampshire brought wins and championships to both FLY Racing and his team, Rockstar Husqvarna. He was a fantastic ambassador for both and a core member of the FLY Racing Family. We wish him all the best as he moves on to new beginnings for 2027 and beyond.
On a lighter note, the KTM Jr program and WMX Invitational program continue to put smiles on everyone’s faces. The youth of the sport is such a great place to showcase FLY Racing’s dedication to the future, and nothing says that more than the long standing KTM Junior SX program. With futures that bright, it’s hard to not feel good about where the sport is headed.
Next up for FLY Racing is the Motocross of Nations in Ernee, France. Cooper Webb will make his debut on a new team and bike, once again representing the red, white, and blue. While Chance Hymas suffered unfortunate news that will force him to sit out the weekend, Webb will surely carry the banner proudly as he and FLY Racing look forward to an incredible outing in northwestern France.
