INTERVIEW I 2025 AMA WOMEN'S MOTOCROSS CHAMPION LACHLAN TURNER
always have blue flags.
Some races we have them,
and some races we won't.
It's all good. They're trying
their hardest out there,
too. So, I give them that.
You talked earlier this
season about wrapping up
the WMX Championship
and then moving on to
bigger goals, namely SMX
Futures. Is that now the
plan?
Yeah, definitely. My plan
for this year is to get into
Supercross and start train
-
ing for that. And then next
year
we'll do the combines
[SMX Futures]. That'd be
so sick. And I'll probably
race all four of the Austra-
lian rounds of WMX, too.
What
do you think is
going to be the biggest
difference or challenge
in transitioning to Super
-
cross?
Probably
patience. I
definitely think I'll like it a
lot more. I've been doing
moto all my life, for five
years since I've been rid-
ing. A change is going to
be good.
This
has been a goal for
other women racers in the
past: to race Supercross.
What is it going to take?
Probably just believing
in myself and knowing that
I can do it. I'm just like any-
one else trying to go for a
dream. If you want
to do it,
just put your mind to it and
make it happen.
