Australia’s 2022 Motocross Champion, Aaron Tanti, has joined Boost Mobile Honda for the 2024 Australian Supercross Championship. In 2022, Tanti also secured 3rd overall in the SX1 class, highlighted by a victory in Adelaide over five-time champion Justin Brayton. In 2023, he finished 4th in the Motocross Championship, but his Supercross season was hampered by injuries. Determined to push himself further, Tanti took on the challenge of racing in America in 2024, despite a difficult year plagued by injuries. He ended his overseas stint with a strong 4th place overall in the Canadian Motocross Championship.
Tanti is no stranger to leading Supercross races in Australia and has set his sights on another championship, believing that his experience in America will better prepare him for the upcoming season.
“Racing in America has been really beneficial, even if my results don’t fully show it. I’m coming home as a better rider and racer,” said Tanti.
Tanti is also excited to join the Factory Honda Team, managed by Yarrive Konsky, recognising the team’s success both in Australia and America. He looks forward to working towards a shared goal.
“This team clearly wants to win, and they understand that every rider is different. I’m eager to get to know the team, the bike, and everyone involved. Yarrive is a fierce competitor, and I’m excited to work with him,” said Tanti.
Team Director Yarrive Konsky is equally enthusiastic about working with Tanti.
“Aaron is a proven champion and a determined competitor. I’ve watched him for years, and I know he doesn’t like losing. I’m confident he’ll give us his all, and we’ll do the same for him,” said Konsky.
Tanti will race on the #9 Boost Mobile Honda CRF450R, with the team deciding in the coming weeks whether to compete on the 2024 or 2025 model.
