McAdoo Chooses #142 for 2026, Honors Late Friend
In the lead-up to the 2026 Monster Energy SuperMotocross World Championship, the AMA National Numbers list revealed two-digit numbers for riders, though two notable names were absent: Cameron McAdoo and Pierce Brown. Both factory riders have been unable to secure their new numbers due to injuries—McAdoo recovering from a knee injury and Brown from a back injury sustained during the past season.
While speculation surrounded their rookie pro numbers, McAdoo has committed to #142 for the upcoming season as a tribute to his late friend, Izzy, who lost her life in a racing accident in 2011.
In an emotional Instagram post, McAdoo stated: “This number has a lot of meaning for me… I have felt Izzy with me multiple times during my career… It just felt right to take her along to live the dream.” His sentiment reflects a deep connection to both his past and his commitment to honor those who have influenced him.
As for Brown, he has yet to announce his chosen three-digit number for 2026, leaving fans eager for updates. Meanwhile, Crockett Myers, who previously held #142 in 2025, has not confirmed his number for the new season.
This development adds a poignant layer to the upcoming SuperMotocross Championship as riders navigate the critical transition to 2026.
