Supercross 2025 Foxborough preview: Top finishes, previous winners, who to watch
The Monster Energy Supercross Series settles into the Northeast for the next four weeks, beginning with Round 12 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
From there, they head to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the second time in that market, East Rutherford, New Jersey, and the inaugural race in Pittsburgh. The final two rounds will focus on the West in Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
From the time Foxborough returned to the schedule in 2016, this venue hosted races in alternate months with the exception of the COVID-altered 2020 season. Four races have featured four winners, and three of them will line up this weekend. Cooper Webb looks to defend not only his red plate but also the 2024 victory. Jason Anderson won in 2022, and Ken Roczen was victorious in 2016.
Although he has not yet won in Foxborough, Chase Sexton has more momentum than Webb or Roczen with back-to-back second-place finishes. With six rounds remaining and an 11-point gap between Webb and Sexton, this is still anyone's championship. But Sexton needs to start making significant moves.

As WeWentFast.com points out, Webb wins the close ones. More than one-third of his wins have margins of less than a second, and last week was no exception. In a fierce battle during the race's second half, Webb beat Sexton to the line by 0.794 seconds. His first win, a Triple Crown victory in 2019, was by 0.549 seconds over Roczen.
Webb occasionally loses by thin margins also. Since 2013, Webb has won 12 of the 22 races with a margin under a second; he finished second in four other events, which means he has been part of these contests 73 percent of the time.
The 2025 competition between Webb and Sexton has been mostly even. Both riders have 10 top-fives and a perfect record of top-10s, but Webb has minimized his mistakes with only three results off the podium; two of these were fourth-place finishes. Sexton has four finishes off the box with a worst result of sixth in Round 2 in San Diego. Webb's average finish in 2025 is 2.6 to Sexton's 3.0.
More: What Riders Said After Seattle
With his Seattle victory, Cole Davies matched a record set last year by becoming the 14th unique winner in the 450 and 250 divisions combined. Notably, in 2024, six of those winners came on 450s, with five each in the West and East divisions. There are still 12 races in which another rider can add his name to the list, with Aaron Plessinger and Justin Cooper as the best bets in the premier class.
In the 250 division, Tom Vialle is the likeliest rider to add his name to the list, and with the upcoming Northeast tour, it could happen quickly — perhaps even this week, as Vialle stood on the podium in Foxborough in 2024. Triumph's Austin Forkner and Honda's Chance Hymas cannot be ignored.
One might suppose that with four rounds upcoming in the Eastern time zone, the West's Haiden Deegan and Julien Beaumer might have a chance to cool off after last week's post-race fireworks. One would be wrong because next week's race at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia is an East / West Showdown.

The Wick 338 is gearing up for The National on June 28
SOUTHWICK — When some of the world's best motocross racers line up to take on The Wick 338 for the Crestview Construction Southwick National on June 28, the 450 class will feature some of the more experienced racers battling the young superstars of the sport. 'It will be a bit of the young versus the old,' said Wick 338 General Manager Rick Johnson about two of the sport's most recognizable names, Eli Tomac, 32, and Jett Lawrence, 21. Advertisement 'Both have been dealing with injuries this season, but they'll be here,' Johnson said Thursday. Tomac, of Colorado, broke his fibula in February during a qualifying race in Tampa but returned to the track in early May. Lawrence, from Australia, tore his ACL in February and also returned in May. Both have come back as strong as ever, with Lawrence, a Honda factory rider, coming in first in the 450 class at Thunder Valley Pro in Lakewood, Colorado, last weekend. Finishing just behind Lawrence was Tomac, a Yamaha factory rider, in second place. 'Jett really respects Eli,' Johnson said, adding that after last weekend's race when the cameras were pointed at Lawrence after his win, he told the camera crews not to forget Tomac. Advertisement Coming in third was Aaron Plessinger, known as 'The Cowboy,' who's also scheduled to compete at The National. 'He's one of the most beloved racers,' Johnson said of Plessinger. From Ohio, Plessinger picked up the nickname because of his signature cowboy hat, long hair, and laid-back style. 'He's just always got a smile on his face,' Johnson said. In the 250 class, Haiden Deegan, of California, returns to the National after finishing second at Thunder Valley, with his Yamaha experiencing overheating issues. There was some pushback from other teams just before last year's National involving Deegan after he got in some practice laps at The Wick. Advertisement Johnson said riders can't practice on a track five days before the race. Deegan's practice laps were 10 days before, he said. Deegan has been battling Honda factory rider Jo Shimoda all season, with Deegan leading the standings in the 250 class. Other 250 competitors expected is Spain's Jorge Prado and French rider Tom Vialle. Johnson said a portion of the track has been modified for this season. A jump that was directly across from the American Legion Post 338 building was removed. 'It just didn't set up well and tended to have racers following one line. With the jump gone, we expect to see more passing in that section,' Johnson said. Advertisement The good news for race fans? Ticket prices for general admission remain what they were last year. And, unusually, there are a limited number of VIP tickets available and the 'Preferred Viewing Area,' which Johnson called the 'best view' and 'most exciting' place to watch the race. There are also a limited number of general admission pit passes available, he said. Saturday's race will draw 160 riders from 40 factory teams with the rest racing as privateers, which Johnson called the 'grassroots of motorcross racing.' 'They really are the foundation. That's the beauty of this sport,' he said of the privateers. Advertisement While Johnson said there has been no shortage of companies from all over asking about being the title sponsor, Crestview Construction Inc., returns again this year. 'They are not only a sponsor, but a partner 365 days a year. I just can't say enough about how important Crestview is to The Wick,' he said. Before last year's race, the track was washed out three times because of rain. 'Without them, we never would have made it,' he said last year. Also returning as sponsors this year are Ray's Tree Service, which keeps the trees on the track trimmed to allow everyone who attends to see the action, Lashway Lumber of Willamsburg, Associated Building Wreckers, Inc., out of Springfield, and Moolicious Farm, which provides food and beverages at locations around the track.

Why Saratoga will stay as host for the 2026 Belmont Stakes
Anyone who has ever had work done on their house knows deadlines are often fluid when it comes to renovations. That's why it should be no surprise that Saratoga Race Course will remain the host of the Belmont Stakes in 2026. The race will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, and, due to the configurations of the track in Saratoga, will be run at a mile and a quarter, rather than the traditional mile and a half. The original plan was to have Belmont Park up and running for next year's 'Test of the Champion,' but it will instead reopen in September 2026. The announcement, made Friday by Gov. Kathy Hochul and the New York Racing Association, explained that keeping the Belmont Stakes in Saratoga for one more year would allow for the on-time and uninterrupted construction of a new Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. 3 Sovereignty won the Belmont Stakes this year. Getty Images 'New York is home to world class sports and entertainment and this final chapter of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course honors our rich racing heritage while paving the way for a bold, new future at Belmont Park,' Gov. Hochul said in a statement. 'Bringing the race back to Saratoga next year will once again expand the audience for this storied leg of the Triple Crown and ensure fans continue to enjoy the full experience.' 3 The field breaks from the starters gate at Saratoga Race Course. JASON SZENES/ NY POST Saratoga has hosted the last two iterations of the Belmont Stakes, won by Dornoch and Sovereignty. The annual Saratoga summer meet will get underway on Thursday, July 10, but the Race Course will also serve as the host of the July 4th Racing Festival, which is traditionally held at Belmont Park. 3 overeignty with jockey Junior Alvarado aboard celebrates as he crosses the finish line to win the 157th Running of the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York, Saturday, June 7, 2025. JASON SZENES/ NY POST The four-day festival will run from Thursday, July 3, to Sunday, July 6. Hochul announced earlier this month that Belmont would host the 2027 Breeders' Cup.

The Club World Cup 2025 shows sharing the stage is the future of global sport
Before it kicked off, the all new revamped and expanded men's 2025 Fifa Club World Cup had already attracted controversy. Some think even more football matches at the end of a long season pose a risk to player welfare. Others are concerned about a lack of fan engagement. But aside from these issues the tournament, which features 32 clubs from around the world, provides fresh evidence of a new model emerging in global sport. This event, which is being staged in 12 different cities across the US, is the latest experiment in 'polycentric' hosting, where multiple locations collaborate as destinations for international sporting events. Get your news from actual experts, straight to your inbox. Sign up to our daily newsletter to receive all The Conversation UK's latest coverage of news and research, from politics and business to the arts and sciences. The next men's Fifa World Cup in 2026 will take place across the US, Canada and Mexico. Four years later, the event will be spread across different continents, starting in South America, before moving to Europe and Africa. In between, the men's Euros of 2028 will be co-hosted by the UK and Ireland. The trend is not limited to football. The 2026 Winter Olympics is being shared in Italy between Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. The Commonwealth Games are also moving towards a more pragmatic model of hosting. Our research, which focused on the men's Euro 2020 tournament (delayed by COVID and held in 2021), suggests that polycentric hosting has many advantages. Spanning 11 European countries, Euro 2020 was conceived as a celebration of the tournament's 60th anniversary. From a branding perspective, this posed significant challenges. Each city had its own visual identity, with localised fan engagement strategies. Without a singular geographic or cultural anchor, Uefa, the governing body of European football, had to balance the benefits of celebrating local diversity with the need for a coherent overarching narrative. Yet overall, the format worked. Despite the pandemic's disruption, the tournament still reached broad audiences and activated fanbases in multiple regions. Instead of one city or nation shouldering the financial and logistical burden of building infrastructure, accommodating visitors, and managing security and transport, responsibilities were shared. This can significantly reduce the risk of the problem of 'white elephants' where expensive stadiums or facilities fall into disuse after an event has finished. By using infrastructure and venues which already exist, the environmental and economic costs of hosting are minimised. It also makes hosting more feasible for countries that might not have the capacity to do it alone. At the same time, many of the perceived benefits of staging sports events – such as economic boosts to local economies, increases in tourism, improved transport links, and civic pride – can be shared more widely. Rather than one host reaping all the rewards, several places can potentially benefit, engaging local communities and stimulating regional development. Collaborative multi-host formats also allow for widespread sharing of knowledge and opportunities for innovation. When cities and organising committees work together, they can bring diverse perspectives, cultural insights, operational practices, and even healthy competition to the table. We found that the development of friendly rivalries between Euro 2020 hosts actually encouraged a competitive mindset that motivated organising committee staff to attempt to outperform counterpart cities. Read more: Meanwhile Uefa enabled those different cities to develop branding strategies which reflected local character while contributing to a broader European narrative of unity through sport. One example was each city selecting a landmark bridge to tie in with the tournament's overarching 'bridging Europe' theme. This collaborative way of thinking also led to creative and inclusive ideas. Glasgow, for example, integrated a cultural festival into its role as a host city, featuring local artists and musicians. Polycentric tournaments aren't without challenges of course. There is a risk of fragmentation, where the tournament feels like a series of disconnected mini-events rather than something cohesive. But overall, the environmental, economic and cultural benefits can be substantial. And what began as a celebratory one-off with Euro 2020 is fast becoming the design for future major sport events. By sharing the spotlight, cities and countries also share the strain and the opportunity. The age of the single host nation isn't over, and the looming Saudi Arabia 2034 World Cup is a stark reminder that above all, money still talks. But the era of shared hosting is clearly here, and might just be what global sport and its fans need. This article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.
