“I’m very excited to be racing for Yarrive, Martin and the Honda Genuine Honda Racing team competing for an FIM-sanctioned World Championship. It’s the chance of a lifetime, and I’m thrilled to be a part of a race team with a rich history in the sport,” said Anstie. “Growing up in England, I dreamt of competing in front of my friends, family and thousands of die-hard supercross fans, and now I have that opportunity in Cardiff, so I’ll be ready to take advantage and am looking forward to competing.”

Rounding out Honda Genuine Honda Racing’s SX2 class is Australian rider, Wilson Todd. New to the Honda team, Todd brings a wealth of racing experience, including Motocross Grand Prix and Australian Supercross, that will serve him and the team well in their efforts to win an FIM World Supercross Championship during this year’s WSX pilot season.
