WLTN Kawasaki Enters 2025 Triple Crown Series with Momentum, Experience, and Rising Talent

 

Calgary, Alberta | Round 1 – Wild Rose MX Park - June 1.2025

Perhaps the most iconic backdrop in Canadian motocross is Calgary, where the 2025 Canadian Triple Crown Series will launch at Wild Rose MX Park, perched above the city skyline. For WLTN Kawasaki, it’s a symbolic start to a season built on momentum, evolution, and a bold commitment to win.

 

Now entering just its third year in the paddock, WLTN Kawasaki has rapidly grown into one of the most dynamic and talked-about programs in the Triple Crown Series. With a tight-knit team culture, strong Canadian Kawasaki support, and deep technical expertise, the program is set to make waves in both the 450 and 250 classes.

 

2025 WLTN Kawasaki Rider Lineup

 

Phil Nicoletti – #29 – 450 Pro

A seasoned veteran and fan favourite, Nicoletti returns to Canadian competition for the first time since 2020. Known for his aggressive race craft and unmatched work ethic, Nicoletti brings stability and firepower to the 450 class. His return is one of the most anticipated stories of the season.

 

"Coming back to Canada at this point in my career is the right call. The competition is solid, the fans are awesome, and I’ve got a team behind me that believes in what I bring. I’m ready to fight every round." Phil Nicoletti

 

Dylan Walsh – #54 – 250 Pro

The Kiwi standout turned heads with his debut at Walton in 2024. Now, with a full series ahead, Walsh brings international speed and GP experience to the Canadian stage. Smooth, smart, and intensely competitive, he’ll be one of the major threats in the 250 title chase.

 

"I had a taste of Canadian racing, and I loved it. This year I’m coming in prepared, and the goal is simple — win races and be in the title hunt all the way to Walton." Dylan Walsh

 

Bobby Gravel – #700 – 250 Pro (Rookie)

At just 17 years old, Bobby Gravel is one of the most exciting young prospects in Canadian motocross. A two-time Yamaha Factory Ride winner and Walton TransCan Fox Instinct Bronze Boot Champion, Gravel joins WLTN Kawasaki for his pro debut. The talented rider from Kapuskasing, Ontario, is widely seen as one to watch in the Rookie of the Year conversation.

 

"This opportunity means everything to me. I’ve looked up to riders like Phil and Dylan my whole life, and now I get to learn from them and compete in National Motocross. I’m ready to work, learn, and go racing." – Bobby Gravel

 

From the Team Principals

 

Brett Lee – Team Principal, WLTN Kawasaki

"We’re in a unique position this year — small, focused, and powerful. Phil gives us championship experience. Dylan gives us speed and global experience. And Bobby gives us youth, heart and hunger. We’ve learned a lot over the past two seasons, and now we’re here to win. We believe in our riders, and we believe in what this team stands for."

 

Melody Hodgson – Team Principal, WLTN Kawasaki

"From the beginning, we’ve said this team was about more than just results — it’s about building something sustainable, exciting, and proudly Walton. In 2025, we’re all-in on identity, performance, and giving our entire team every tool they need to succeed. This isn’t just a race team — it’s a representation of who we are at Walton Raceway."
