Brett Metcalfe's Bio

Australian born Brett Metcalfe joined 'Factory Suzuki' in the USA for 2011. When he joined the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team at that start of that season, he certainly had plenty of quality race experience. For starters, at the age of 18, Metcalfe won the Australian Supercross Series in 2001, an event that led him to pack his bags and head to Europe for an assault on the World Championship in the MX2 class.

After two years of racing around the world, Metcalfe came to the U.S. in 2003 and launched his AMA career with a fifth-place finish in the 2003 Supercross 125 East Region. He backed that up with a 14th place finish in the AMA Motocross Nationals' 125 Motocross class that year and went on to finish eighth in the 125 AMA Supercross and 17th in the 125 AMA Motocross in 2004.

In 2005, Metcalfe put together a solid season that culminated with a win in the U.S. Open of Supercross in Las Vegas. He ended the season as the sixth-ranked rider in the Supercross 125 West Region and then finished 18th in the 125 Motocross Nationals later that year. For 2006, Metcalfe put it all together, earning top ten finishes in both the Supercross and the National Motocross Championships, securing seventh- and fifth-place finishes in those two series, respectively. Injuries plagued his 2007 season, but he still managed three podium finishes in a shortened Motocross Championship campaign.

In 2008, Metcalfe ended up fourth in the Supercross Lites West Region and a strong outdoor season saw him ranked third overall at season’s end. He followed that up with another third-place ranking in the 2009 National 250 Motocross Championship.

A move to the 450s in the 2010 AMA Motocross Series, however, is what attracted Suzuki’s attention. Metcalfe was fast and consistent all season long and in the end, it garnered him second in the title chase behind his new teammate, Ryan Dungey.
