Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki has drafted in Ryan Alexanderson to make up the team’s MX2 effort in the 2025 Penrite ProMX Championship, stepping in as a late entry while Cambell Williams continues his recovery.

Alexanderson, who was set to be returning to Europe to contest EMX250 for the German-based WZ Racing KTM team this year, will now see his focus shift to ProMX after foregoing his overseas commitments due to visa complications.

Recent Empire recruit Williams resumed riding this month after breaking his femur during last season’s AUSX series, but has opted to sit out round one to prioritise his recovery.

While Alexanderson has been called upon to fill the vacant MX2 spot, it remains unclear whether he is a short-term substitute or a direct replacement for Williams as the season unfolds. It’s also uncertain when the latter will be fit to return.

With the championship set to get underway next weekend in Wonthaggi, the Penrite Racing Empire Kawasaki squad will see Alexanderson join MX1 front-runner Luke Clout and MXW contender Taylah McCutcheon.
