Kawasaki Motors Australia press release:

Kawasaki Motors Australia is pleased to be continuing to work with Meghan Rutledge heading into 2020. Meg has been supported by Kawasaki for over 10 years and we are excited to be a part of the next evolution of her career. In 2020 Meg will be stepping away for motocross racing to focus on career and personal growth.

“After an incredible 2019 season, that included taking out back-to-back National Women’s Motocross and Queen of MX Titles, 2020 holds new opportunities to grow outside of motocross competition. I will be stepping away from competitive racing and focusing on my career with coaching and personal training.”

After 20 years of riding/racing and 2 major injuries to the same hand, Meg will not be stepping away from the sport, but she is redirecting her focus.

“Motocross is in my blood, I will continue to ride for fun, be a coach and mentor the next generation. I am excited for what 2020 has in store for me and thrilled to still be working closely with all my current sponsors as an ambassador. I would like to take the opportunity to thank my sponsors for the support over many years. Sponsorship support has enabled me to win 8 Championship Titles in the past 2 years.”

Meg Rutledge has won a trophy room full of Championships in her racing career and Kawasaki will continue to support Meg in an Ambassador and Coaching role.

“I’m eager to focus on my future with my amazing supportive partner Aaron. My job as a personal trainer will work in with motocross coaching and we will take some time to enjoy life. I have put my life into racing and training nearly every weekend for the past 10 years and I never really had any down time, as much as I love racing it’s time to expand my focus.”

“I really appreciate the support from all my fans and sponsors and I look forward what lays ahead.”
