As the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship began, the Gizmo Racing Factory Yamaha team — proudly backed by Flo Motorsports — excelled while stationed in Southern California. The atmosphere in Anaheim was legendary, and as competition transpired in Angel Stadium, the athletes of the premier racing unit soared to remarkable results.
Freddie Noren, supported throughout the season by Flo Motorsports, was exceptional within the 450SX division. Following a notable practice effort, where Noren established numerous outstanding lap-times, the native of Sweden sped into heat number one. Once there, Freddie raced forward with the utmost effort, charging to a standing of thirteenth when passing the checkered flag. In the LCQ that followed, Noren's expertise was displayed through each lap of the contest — and propelled the veteran to a final score of eighth, as competition ended.
Sporting the number 106 in his SX debut, Stephen Rubini — also backed by Flo Motorsports — acclimated to the Anaheim One circuit with a flawless style in the 450SX category. Rubini's confidence would rise through every lap of practice, and upon powering into the second heat race of the night show, the native of France continued to gain knowledge of the racetrack. Unfortunately, Stephen would encounter a bit of bad luck within the divisional round (while claiming a twentieth-place spot on the final leaderboard) — though from there, Rubini accelerated into the LCQ. As the aforementioned contest transpired, each circuit was a presentation of proficient lines and precise timing — which translated to a final result of nineteenth, as the checkered flag waved.
Keegan Rowley, who competes with the support of Flo Motorsports, generated extraordinary lap times throughout the afternoon, which equated to an advancement into 250SX Heat Two and the first night show of his career. Once there, Rowley navigated across the technical course with remarkable timing and calculation — and obtained a well-respected nineteenth-place result when crossing the finish line. In the LCQ that followed, Keegan battled with phenomenal effort from start-to-finish, and as competition came to a conclusion, he secured a score of fourteenth.
With the opening round of the series now concluded, the Gizmo Racing Factory Yamaha team — supported by Flo Motorsports throughout the 2026 campaign — has its sights set on generating another impactful performance for the second event of the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. All members of the top-tier racing assembly are eager to ascend across the entirety of the tour, and they look to capture superb results while competing in San Diego on January 17th, 2026.
