It’s in the blood: Tamayo kids, Shana Tamayo and Joshua Tamayo, declared Philippine National Motocross Champions!
It’s in the blood: Tamayo kids, Shana Tamayo and Joshua Tamayo, declared Philippine National Motocross Champions! June 29, 2025 Photo Credit: Faith Tamayo Manila East (June 29, 2025) It’s in the blood: Tamayo kids, Shana Tamayo and Joshua Tamayo, declared Philippine National Motocross Champions! The Tamayos became the second-generation motocross champions when both won their classes in the 2024 Orca NAMSSA Philippine National Motocross Series Championship. The former in the Ladies class is using a 2024 Kawasaki KX250F, and the latter in the Junior MX85 class, using a 2023 GasGas MC85. The family name “Tamayo” is a household name in Philippine motocross, thanks to the late Pastor Vern Tamayo and his wife, Luz Tamayo, who, with their three boys’ Virgil, Kel, and Sam, founded the Philippine Motocross Ministry during the early 90s. The ministry used training and racing motocross as a platform to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with youths at their private motocross track behind their house in Taytay, Rizal, and fans of the sport during the national motocross series more than 30 years ago. 15-year-old Shana and 13-year-old Joshua are a second-generation Tamayo motocross family thriving in the Philippine National Motocross Scene. The first-generation Tamayo brothers (Virgil, Kel, and Sam), children of Vern and Luz, were Philippine Motocross Champions during the late 90s under the Shell-Yamaha Motocross Racing Team, but little did they know their kids would be inheriting the passion they had as a family during a time many kids nowadays are into advanced virtual computer games, which are, of course, more appealing as they’re easy and safe compared to motocross, which is considered one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Team MxMessiah’s 13-year-old Joshua Vern Tamayo and his cousin, 15-year-old Shana Vernice Tamayo, of Team Kojie San-Wheeltek Racing, are the reigning Philippine national motocross champions in their classes. Joshua is the reigning Philippine National Motocross Champion in the MX85, while Shana Tamayo is the reigning national motocross champion in the Ladies class. Both Tamayos were awarded in the Philippine Racing Industry Awards (PRIA) at the biggest moto event of 2025 last March during the 17th InsideRACING Bike Fest held at the World Trade Center. The motocross champions were declared by the National Motorcycle Sports and Safety Association, which is affiliated with FIM Asia, after winning the overall championship in their classes at the 2024 ORCA Philippine National Motocross Championship organized by TC22 Promotions and Teves Racing. Their 76-year-old grandma, Luz Tamayo, witnessed the momentous event of the Tamayo family, signifying the legacy she and her late husband, Vern, contributed to the Philippine Motocross Industry, when Joshua and Shana received their trophies declaring them the number one rider in their classes. Motocross indeed is in the blood of the Tamayo family. coach sam tamayo, joshua tamayo, joshua vern tamayo, Luz Tamayo, philippine motocross, Philippine Motocross Evangelism, Philippine Motocross Ministry, Shana Tamayo, Shana Vernice Tamayo, Shell Yamaha Motocross Racing Team, tamayo brothers, Vern Tamayo Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Cooper Webb Wins His Third 450 Supercross Title May 12, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Salt Lake City, Utah (May 11, 2025)—Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton rode clean, avoided any hassle, and cruised for the win, his seventh win of the season at the final round of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb led the opening lap but eventually fell back to fourth place to avoid any mishaps with other riders, hence ultimately winning the 2025 Monster Energy AMA 450 Supercross Championship! Webb was emotional when he crossed the line to win his third premiere class Supercross title! Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart wowed the crowd with a charge from a seventh-place start to second. Stewart passed Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper, who was in third behind Webb, who was riding conservatively for the title. Stewart got the crowd on their feet when he caught and passed Webb for second. Cooper eventually passed his teammate Webb; it was his third straight podium finish, and he landed third in the overall championships. In the 250SX East/West Showdown, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan grabbed the holeshot and never looked back; this backs up his win the week before when he wrapped up the Western Divisional 250SX Class Championship. Behind Deegan, the three-rider fight for the Eastern Divisional 250SX Class Championship was settled with a wildly dramatic battle that saw Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle finish in third place to earn a consecutive Eastern Divisional 250SX Class title. The crowd was stunned when Hampshire and Hammaker fell with the former’s aggressive pass, which took both of them out of title contention. chase sexton, coach sam tamayo, cooper webb, mmf live, mxmessiah live Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Both SMX World Champions, Jett Lawrence and Haiden Deegan, are back on top at Anaheim 2 Supercross!
Both SMX World Champions, Jett Lawrence and Haiden Deegan, are back on top at Anaheim 2 Supercross! January 26, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Anaheim, CA, USA (January 25, 2025) Reigning SuperMotocross World Champions, Jett Lawrence of Team Honda HRC Progressive and Haiden Deegan of Team Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, are back on top in round 3 of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship. Heading into the 2025 season, both were expected to be dominating the entire series, with even talks about the season becoming boring and that they might sweep their respective classes. But as it goes, the former had a 12-2 finish while the latter had a 5-3 finish from the first two rounds. Although the season is long, the pressure that surrounds both champions to be perfect and to completely dominate their opponents didn’t happen in the first two rounds. Some are quick to criticize them already because of this. Progressive Insurance Ecstar Suzuki’s Ken Roczen had an amazing ride to end up the 450 Main Event race with second overall, outriding Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Jason Anderson. Roczen also took the red plate, or overall championship standings, with second place, and that would make him the third red plate holder in three rounds. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac, who had a dominating heat race win, suffered with a mediocre start in the main event race, which eventually ended in 7th, and as a result, lost the red plate. But it was Jett Lawrence who systematically picked positions all the way to first place and back to the title hunt to defend his 450 supercross title. Jett and Eli are now tied in third, just 5 points behind Roczen, who is the new overall points leader. In the 250 West class, it was an interesting battle between Haiden Deegan and Red Bull KTM rider Julien Beumer from qualifying, the heat race, and eventually the main! Beumer and Deegan made contact during their heat races that led to the former crashing, and just a few moments later Deegan casing the triple but miraculously was able to keep it on two wheels. Then during the main event, while Deegan was pulling away slowly from Beuemer and the rest of the riders, the rain started to fall. Triumph’s Jordon Smith tipped over in the latter part of the race, which gave Cole Davies of Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing his first podium in his third professional race!

Jett Lawrence A1 SX Race Update January 12, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Anaheim, CA, (January 11, 2025) A subpar performance for the reigning Monster Energy Supercross 450 champion, Jett Lawrence, during the opening round of the sold-out Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Although he got second in the qualifying, the heat race and main event didn’t go as well, finishing in 12th place. Here is what the Honda HRC Progressive rider has to say from his Instagram after the race. “So that wasn’t ideal, I feel like I had a pretty good jump and this kind of. those tuff blocks kind of come in..the start straight kind of lined up all quickly…but at least now the only way to go is up for me. so lets just go back…we’re gonna go back and do some testing…as soon as we figure out the bike..it’s still making some troubles for us in the whoops and stuff like that. and yeah we tried…skimming is sketchy and we tried jumping and i think…I was sketchy just jumping so we’re gonna go back work hard and we’ll come back and we’ll be better, we always do. Where the people say we left, but we never left in the first place we’re gonna come back and hit them harder. What did Hunter once said? “No more Mr. nice guy.” https://www.instagram.com/p/DEu_jnvyMnC/ Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin. Edit your profile. Log out?
