Red Bull KTM
#7 Aaron Plessinger (450 SX and MX): Aaron Plessinger begins a new one-year extension with Red Bull KTM for 2024. After rumors that Plessinger will be in Fly for 2024, it turns out he has re-upped with Thor.

Casey Cochran (SX Futures, 250 SX East and MX): Cochran begins his A class/Pro season. We believe you’ll see Casey participate in the opening rounds of SX Futures, then head to East Coast Supercross, and then a full season of Pro Motocross…
Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/GASGAS Factory Racing
#51 Justin Barcia (450): BamBam is back and has a new two-year contract in hand. Justin Barcia remains the team’s sole 450 rider in 2024 and will be with the team through 2025.

#30 Jo Shimoda (250 SX and MX): Jo Shimoda rejoins Honda and will enter his first year of racing for Team Honda HRC on a two-year contract for 2024 and 2025. His gear situation looks similar to his Pro Circuit days, except with a change to Fox helmets. His mechanic will be Ben Griffith and Jo continues as a Monster Energy athlete.
Monster Energy/Star Racing/Yamaha
#3 Eli Tomac (450 SX Only): Eli Tomac has confirmed he is coming back in 2024 and as of now it’s a Supercross-only deal. We wouldn’t be shocked if he has an option for Pro Motocross but that will ultimately be up to Eli to decide if wants to do it or not. Either way, we’re excited to see ET give it another go!
#32 Justin Cooper (450 SX and MX): Justin Cooper himself has stated he has a full-time 450 deal lined up for 2024. We suspect that it’s at the team he’s been with for his whole pro career. We’re not sure what his gear deal will look like as of yet though.
#2 Cooper Webb (450 SX and MX): Returning to the team that gave him his shot as a pro, Cooper Webb is on a two-year deal, with a third-year option. Mechanic? Adam Campbell

Gavin Towers (SX Futures and 250 MX?): Similar to Daxton Bennick’s deal in 2023, amateur racer Gavin Towers is on a tryout/handshake deal with Star Racing that will take the young racer through SX Futures.

He has also changed his program up quite a bit, parting ways with long-time coach Robby Reynard, and now linking up with Ryan Hughes for on-the-bike coaching, along with Charles Dao handling his fitness and off-the-bike work.
#47 Levi Kitchen (250 SX and MX): Pro Circuit’s big signing for 2024, as they beat out both Red Bull KTM and Triumph Racing for Levi Kitchen’s services. Kitchen joins the team on a two-year deal and we’ve heard unlike the other riders on the team, he may have the freedom to ride and train outside of California. The Dogpound in Florida, possibly?
#20 Maximus Vohland (250 SX and MX): Maximus is set to ride for the same team his father raced for in 2000 and 2001.
