Some breaking news here late on Wednesday afternoon: Ty Masterpool confirms his deal with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki for 2025. PulpMX’s Steve Matthes had reported Masterpool signed a two-year deal with the factory Kawasaki 250cc team, although nothing was official yet until today’s announcement video on the team’s Instagram page. Masterpool did not go into details of contract in the announcement, but we expect it to be a full SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) season, racing both Monster Energy AMA Supercross and the AMA Pro Motocross Championship.

Masterpool was brought in as a fill-in rider the day before Pro Motocross kicked off and he earned his first overall win—and the team’s 300th SX/MX win—at the High Point National back in June before finishing fifth in the 250 Class championship. He tallied two moto wins and two overall podiums (both at the High Point and RedBud Nationals).

Here is what Masterpool said in the video, which you can watch below.

“What’s up guys? Ty Masterpool here. Really hyped to be making this announcement, I’ll be signed with Pro Circuit. Unfortunately, we [only] got like a minute or so to talk. But yeah, all the ups and downs it took to get here was crazy. All the adversity…was never really on factory bikes as an amateur. Won about seven Loretta Lynn’s titles and then won both of them on my 125 and went straight to pro and I got rookie of the year. Then second year I broke my leg and unfortunately, with only a couple of days on the bike, I raced RedBud and almost won it. And then I went full privateer after that for three to four years. And yeah, all the tests that put me through and all that, but just, I always believed in the team I had around me and in God’s timing and hard work pays off. All the stories we have through that, I mean, like almost getting a podium at RedBud with a full private bike, almost completely stock, no graphics on the bike. [Laughs] And after trying in the 250 class for a couple of years, I had to go to the 450 class because we couldn’t afford the 250s, it was just too much money. So, I went full privateer 450. Yeah, just persevered through all the adversity, I can go on and all that but running out of time. Yeah, biggest thing, just very grateful. God is good and really looking forward to these next couple of years. Big thank you to Mitch and the whole Pro Circuit team. Grateful. And yeah, thank you guys.”
