Levi Kitchen, Pro Circuit extend contract though 2027
Levi Kitchen and Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki announced a two-year contract extension that will pair rider and team through the 2027 SuperMotocross League season. Kitchen joined the team in 2024 and finished second to RJ Hampshire in the 250 SX West division that year.
Kitchen was one of 12 riders to win in the 250 class in 2025 when he scored the victory in Detroit. His season immediately took a turn the following week when he crashed in the Daytona Supercross race and broke his collarbone and suffered fractures in his upper back. Kitchen would not return to ride Supercross in 2025.
Kitchen got back on the bike in early April to prepare for the Pro Motocross season opener next week at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. Last year, Kitchen finished second at Pala.
He was second the following week in the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Rancho Cordova, California, before hitting a dry spell in the next four rounds. He overcame that in Spring Creek, Minnesota, and won three of the last five races.

Thunder Valley MX betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines: Lack of dominance impacts Jett Lawrence odds
For a brief moment in the Hangtown Motocross Classic, it appeared Jett Lawrence might be vulnerable, but a series of unfortunate events for Eli Tomac allowed Lawrence to cruise to the Moto 2 victory and another overall win. Lawrence was posted at -283 for Hangtown. That momentary bobble by Jett garnered the attention of the traders, and Jett's odds for the Thunder Valley National in Lakewood, Colorado, became slightly more attractive. This week, it will cost bettors approximately $250 (-253) to net a $100 return. Advertisement However, the relative difference between Lawrence and Tomac (+273) stretched slightly, with Tomac seeing 26 points added to his raw opening odds. The traders continue to treat the 2025 Pro Motocross season as a two-man show, even though Tomac's costly mistake when he tucked his front tire while battling for fifth shook their faith marginally. Hunter Lawrence (+848) holds the third-lowest betting odds as the only other rider under 10/1, largely in response to his Round 1 podium after returning from a shoulder injury suffered during the Monster Energy Supercross championship. Hunter swept the top five in Hangtown, but was never in serious contention for a moto win after scoring a fifth-place finish in Race 1 and a fourth-place result in Moto 2. Aaron Plessinger (+2504) is the rider with the most significant movement this week among top riders. Last week, he opened with odds of approximately 40/1. He came close to winning the first moto before misjudging the time on the clock. Losing pace in the closing laps, he surrendered the victory to Tomac. If that had not happened, Plessinger would have tied Jett in National points. He would have lost the overall on the tiebreaker, however. Justin Cooper (+4445) scored his first podium of the season last week in Hangtown with results of fourth in Moto 1 and second in Moto 2. He was third overall after opening the week with a +151 to finish that well. Cooper's podium odds this week are practically even at +104. Advertisement Cooper Webb (+8233) got the attention of traders last week with a pair of seventh-place moto finishes and a sixth overall. Last week, he opened at more than 127/1, and the traders viewed that as a risky proposition should Jett and Tomac both experience trouble in Thunder Valley. It's difficult to count out a tough rider like Webb. Jorge Prado (+14606) deserves some attention this week, not for the overall win, but for his potential of finally standing on the podium. He faded to 12th in the intense heat of Moto 1 before rebounding to finish fifth in the second race. If he can smooth out his effort and the favorites experience problems, he could be this week's most pleasant surprise. Opening Odds, Outright Overall Win Jett Lawrence, -253 Eli Tomac, +273 Hunter Lawrence, +848 Aaron Plessinger, +2504 Justin Cooper, +4445 Cooper Webb, +8233 Jorge Prado, +14606 Jason Anderson, +15773 RJ Hampshire, +15773 Joey Savatgy, +15773 Malcolm Stewart, +15773 Harri Kullas, +15773 Benny Bloss, +15773 Grant Harlan, +15773 Derek Drake, +15773 Romain Pape, +15773 Lorenzo Locurcio, +15773 Derek Kelley, +15773 Colt Nichols, +15773 Dante Oliveira, +15773 Advertisement Opening Odds, Overall Podium Jett Lawrence, -2500 Eli Tomac, -233 Hunter Lawrence, -150 Aaron Plessinger, -122 Justin Cooper, +104 Cooper Webb, +162 Jason Anderson, +194 Jorge Prado, +660 RJ Hampshire, +864 Joey Savatgy, +895 Malcolm Stewart, +1151 Harri Kullas, +4190 Benny Bloss, +4190 Grant Harlan, +4190 Derek Drake, +4190 Lorenzo Locurcio, +4190 Derek Kelley, +4190 Romain Pape, +4190 Dante Oliveira, +4190 Colt Nichols, +4190 More SuperMotocross News Hangtown 450 Results | 250 Results Jett Lawrence wins Hangtown Moto 2, overall Haiden Deegan's sweep secures Hangtown win Eli Tomac wins Hangtown Motocross 450 Moto 1 Haiden Deegan wins Hangtown Motocross 250 Moto 1 Hangtown Quals: Haiden Deegan wins 250s | Jett Lawrence wins 450s Lachlan Turner wins both WMX Hangtown motos Chase Sexton out of Hangtown Hangtown Preview

Motocross 2025 250 results, highlights, finish at Hangtown: Haiden Deegan wins
Haiden Deegan kept his perfect season alive with a sweep of the motos in the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Rancho Cordova, California. In 2024, Deegan swept only one round of the 11 that make up the Pro Motocross championship, but he won the title with consistently strong runs. Starting the 2025 season with four moto wins marks the first time in his career that Deegan swept rounds in back-to-back weeks. Deegan leads the Pro Motocross standings by 12 points over Jo Shimoda, and has a commanding lead of 47 points in the SuperMotocross standings that seeds the playoffs. That is nearly two full motos ahead of second-place Julien Beaumer. Shimoda stayed within striking distance of Deegan in the championship battle with second-place finishes in both motos of the opening round at Fox Raceway and this week in Hangtown. Conceding some speed and fitness to his rival, Shimoda knows where he needs improvement as the series heads into Round 3 at Thunder Valley MX Park in Lakewood, Colorado, this week. Advertisement Levi Kitchen overcame a dismal start to his Pro Motocross campaign after finishing the Fox Raceway Nationals with minimal points. He finished 10th in Moto 1 and retired with engine problems in Southern California, but peaked in the heat of Northern Cali with results of third in each moto. Beaumer started strong in Hangtown's Moto 1 before fading to eighth in the final rundown. He performed much better in the second race, finishing fourth and scoring fourth overall due to a tiebreaker. Earning the same number of points, 32, as Beaumer, Garrett Marchbanks finished one position better in Moto 1 with a seventh and one position worse in Moto 2 with a fifth, proving it is truly how one finishes in Pro Motocross that counts. Advertisement The 2025 Supercross East champion Tom Vialle crashed out of Moto 1 and, still feeling the effects of the accident, finished eighth in Moto 2 to score 14 points, resulting in an overall 17th-place finish.
