A young Narromine rider is preparing to take on the world stage, with 10-year-old Stella Harding selected to compete in the Yamaha Blu Cru SuperFinale at the famous FIM Motocross of Nations in Indianapolis, USA, this October.

The event, held at the iconic Ironman Raceway from October 3–5, 2025, will bring together the best young motocross riders from across the globe. Stella, along with two of her Australian Yamaha teammates, will proudly fly the flag for both Narromine and Australia.

For Stella, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. Competing internationally is a dream for many young motocross racers, but the decision hasn’t come without sacrifice. To take her place on the world stage, she will miss out on racing at the Australian Motocross Championships, held in Gillman, Adelaide, on the same weekend.

While Stella heads overseas, her cousins Will and Ollie Cale will continue their campaign at the Australian Championships, competing in their chosen classes. The three kids are now deep in training, preparing for their upcoming challenges.

Motocross success is nothing new for the Harding and Cale kids. During the July school holidays, all three competed in the prestigious Penrite Hattah Desert Race in Mildura, achieving standout results. Stella claimed first place in the Girls 7–12 years class and an impressive sixth outright, while Ollie secured second place in the 9–12 years 85cc class. Will also delivered a strong ride, finishing seventh in the highly competitive 13–16 years 125cc class.

Stella’s selection for the FIM Motocross of Nations marks a milestone moment not just for her, but for the Narromine motocross community. Her dedication, talent, and determination have now placed her on the international stage, inspiring other young riders with big dreams.
