A Season of Consistency
From the gates at Fox Raceway in May to the final motos at Budds Creek in August, Jamie Astudillo proved herself as one of the most consistent riders in the 2025 WMX Championship. Round after round, she pushed inside the top ten—often inside the top five—solidifying her place among the elite in women’s motocross.
Her season results tell the story of a competitor who never backed down:

With multiple top-five moto finishes and zero DNFs, Jamie’s 2025 WMX campaign showed the grit and reliability of a rider hungry for more.
“We All Have One Goal…”
Back in February, Jamie admitted she wasn’t sure she’d even line up for 2025.
“I honestly wasn’t even going to race this year… when Christina called me, I was like there’s no way I can say no, so I’m going racing this year.”

But that call sparked something bigger than personal results. For Jamie, this season was about building momentum for the entire WMX field:
“We all have one goal right now and it’s to uplift women’s motocross and make sure there’s a solid series.”
That mindset carried her through every moto. Racing wasn’t just about her—it was about proving that women’s motocross deserves a spotlight and a strong future.
The KTM Breakthrough
Midway through the season, her consistency caught the eye of the industry. In August, Jamie announced she had joined Dirt Bike Depot WMR KTM Racing for the final three rounds—an opportunity that added fuel to her campaign.
“KTM reached out to me… we got to talk and they were like, ‘How can we help you out?’”
It wasn’t just another deal. It was a validation of years of grinding, traveling, and fighting for recognition in a male-dominated sport. Backed by KTM, Jamie raced the closing rounds with a renewed sense of confidence, putting down some of her best motos of the season.
Beyond the U.S.: Building a Global Legacy
2025 wasn’t only about WMX in America. Jamie also represented on the global stage—winning her second consecutive WMX East Series Championship in Canada and competing for Team USA in the FIM Oceania Women’s Motocross Cup.
Her season became a patchwork of milestones: national points consistency, international championships, and OEM support. For Jamie, it was the most impactful year of her career to date.
Looking Ahead
Jamie Astudillo’s 2025 season wasn’t about chasing a single title—it was about laying a foundation. She walked away from every round inside the top six, earned KTM backing, and proved she belongs in every conversation about the future of WMX.
And she’s not slowing down. With momentum on her side, Jamie has her eyes set on 2026, where she’ll look to turn consistent top-five finishes into podiums—and podiums into wins.
“This year has been about proving that we belong out there. Now it’s about taking the next step.”
Final Take
Jamie Astudillo isn’t just racing motos. She’s racing for a movement—one where women’s motocross gets the recognition, respect, and opportunities it deserves. Her 2025 campaign was proof that with the right mindset and the right backing, the future of WMX is bright.
