Monster Energy Kawasaki rider Jason Anderson is preparing intensively for the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship opener at Anaheim's Angel Stadium on January 11. The 31-year-old veteran, with 14 450cc main event wins under his belt, continues to show the same enthusiasm he had as a young rider.

Anderson's 2024 season saw him finish fifth overall in the championship, achieving four podium finishes and maintaining an impressive 5.76 average finishing position. He closed the season strong with five consecutive top-five finishes, demonstrating his consistency and competitive drive.

Working alongside new teammate Jorge Prado at Kawasaki's K1 Test Track, Anderson appreciates the fresh energy his European counterpart brings to the team. The training environment has been reinvigorated by Prado's enthusiasm for the American supercross scene.

Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Anderson acknowledges the incredibly competitive field, including Chase Sexton, Cooper Webb, and Eli Tomac. He emphasizes the importance of strong starts in modern supercross, noting that the days of easily charging through the pack are gone due to the elevated level of competition.

Regarding rising star Jett Lawrence, Anderson believes the 2025 season presents a critical opportunity to challenge his dominance: "If you keep letting him go with his confidence, he can possibly win out until he's tired of winning."

At age 31, Anderson remains focused on achieving new milestones, particularly aiming to secure his first win in his 30s. His measured approach and continued passion for the sport suggest he'll remain a formidable competitor in the upcoming season.
