We were able to ask a few questions to Lachlan Turner, the US WMX champion at just 17 years old. We discussed several subjects with the Yamaha rider who has just joined the Altus Motorsports bLU cRU amateur racing team.
You won your first title at Loretta Lynn’s. How did that achievement influence the way you managed the end of your season?
That achievement felt so good but I didn’t get the title in womens so I was very hungry for the WMX championship.
The return of the WMX US Championship saw you crowned as the champion. Can you walk us through that unforgettable day?
It didn’t really feel unforgettable knowing they didn’t have the WMX trophies.
With four wins out of the six rounds you participated in, and a victory at Mini O’s, how would you evaluate your overall season?
I would say it wasn’t the greatest season know I was out broken for 6 months this year!!
You switched bikes during the season for the WMX category. How did that impact your performance and results?
The impact was amazing felt right at home!
Looking ahead to 2025, can you share any details about your plans?
Yes I will be on the Altus Motorsports bLU cRU amateur racing team.
Is competing in the WMX World Championship one of your long-term goals?
No not long term my goal is to race with the big guys in supercross and outdoors!
What does a typical day in the life of Lachlan Turner look like?
A typical day is I make breakfast do school chill work out or road bike and then eat dinner and go to bed nothing special!
Your family has been a significant part of your journey. What role do they play in your career?
They play a big role in my career to getting me to the races and helping me be a better person and racer!
