Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team will run a dynamic two-rider lineup for 2026, led by team owner Todd Waters and new addition Reid Taylor, who are ready for Round 1 of the 2026 Australian ProMX Championship set for Wonthaggi, Victoria next weekend on March 21-22. The lineup blends both experience with emerging talent, as Waters is set to play a key role alongside Taylor throughout the eight-round national motocross series.

Former national champion Waters will contest the MX1 category onboard the Husqvarna FC450 and aims to build on his progression made one year ago, highlighted by a series-high P5 result in Canberra. The 36-year-old finished ninth in the final standings last year.

Todd Waters:
“2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for us, with young Reid Taylor joining our motocross program. He’s got serious speed and we’re looking forward to lining up with him in this year’s ProMX Championship. On my side, I’ve found some renewed fire and motivation, and am really enjoying my off-season training while building momentum ahead of going racing. Working alongside long-time mechanic Jason Waters and experienced engine technician Andrew Franklin, we’ve made strong improvements to our FC 250 and FC 450 packages. I’ve also enjoyed spending the pre-season working with Peter Wolfe, as well as our junior riders Ethan Wolfe, Ryder Madafiglio, and Lewis Carafa.”

Taylor will contest the MX2 category in 2026 after initially joining the team ahead of last year’s AUSX Supercross Championship. The Husqvarna FC250 rider also brings international experience to the ProMX series, having contested selected AMA Pro Motocross Championship rounds in the United States during the past season.

Reid Taylor:
“It’s been a solid pre-season and we’ve made good progress heading into the new year. I’m feeling ready and good to go with the Husqvarna team, and looking forward to getting the championship underway in Wonthaggi!”

In addition, the Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Junior Racing Team will field Ethan Wolfe alongside Lewis-Jay Carafa and Ryder Madafiglio, who will each continue to develop their racing careers under the guidance of Waters in 2026. Raceline will also continue to support Peter Wolfe as he graduates into the senior ranks.

Kyle Blunden, KTM Group Australia Motorsport Manager.
“The Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team enters Wonthaggi with a clear sense of direction and a rider lineup capable of making an impact from the opening gate-drop. Todd’s preparation in the off‑season has been exceptional, and he continues to pass down his wealth of knowledge throughout the team. Todd may be in the twilight years of his racing career, but he knows what it takes to be competitive at the front of MX1 and we all know what he’s capable of. Reid’s such an exciting rider with a great work ethic and a willingness to succeed. With Todd’s guidance, we believe Reid will be a genuine contender as he builds momentum in MX2. Todd’s put a strong foundation in place and the Raceline Husqvarna TDUB Racing Team are exactly where they need to be heading into Round 1 of the ProMX Championship in Wonthaggi.”
