San Bernardino, CA (April 21, 2025)— Team MxMessiah’s 13-year-old rider, Joshua Tamayo, wins one of the Amateur 85cc Classes in the recently concluded 2025 Wiseco 2-Stroke Motocross World Championship held at the iconic Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California. The native of Taytay, Rizal, on board his 2023 GasGas MC 85cc, pulled a good start during the first Moto of the 85cc B Class, made some passes to the front, and led every lap for the win.
In the second and final moto, the 2024 ORCA-NAMSSA National Motocross Championship 85cc Class Champion and Round 4 FIM Asia 85cc winner pulled a P3 start in the infamous Glen Helen Taladega Turn and worked his way to the lead to get the perfect 1-1 for first place overall.
“I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for keeping me safe. I can’t believe I did it. TBH I felt I can win after I was able to get P3 and know the pace of my competition when I race last weekend during the Round 3 of the Saturday at the Glen Spring Series. I still can’t believe I won the race.”- Joshua Tamayo, when asked to comment on did he really expected to win the race in the US.
In the Open 2-Stroke Pro class, Dante Oliveira won 5,000 USD for the win, Dare Demartile won 2,000 USD for second, and Red Bull athlete Carson Brown won 1,500 USD for third.
The annual 2-Stroke World Championship, which happened last April 19, gathered riders who are into racing two-stroke engine motocross bikes from around the world. The event gave both amateurs and pros alike the experience of celebrating the rich history of motocross with a nostalgic throwback to the two-stroke era of the ’70s , ’80s, and ’90s.
