Motocross 2025 250 results, highlights, finish at Thunder Valley: Chance Hymas sweeps
For the third consecutive race, a rider swept the moto wins as another finished second in both, but in a twist, it was Chance Hymas with the pair of wins on his way to the overall victory at Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado. In addition to sweeping the motos, Hymas was fastest in both qualification sessions, holeshotted both motos, and led every lap of the round to score a perfect weekend. This was his second overall Pro Motocross victory, and it was starkly different from his first, when Hymas finished 4-1 last year in the RedBud Nationals, narrowly beating Ty Masterpool. Click here for a recap of Thunder Valley Hymas' domination put an end to Haiden Deegan's perfect season in Moto 1. The box score showed Deegan 45.677 seconds behind Hymas at the end of Moto 1, but that does not tell the whole story. At the halfway point, Deegan posted his fastest lap of the race with a 2:13.091, which was 1.5 seconds quicker than the leader, Hymas. He continued to close the gap until he had the leader in sight, but there was a cost to that speed. Deegan's bike began to smoke, and he nearly fell into the clutches of Garrett Marchbanks and Masterpool on the final lap. Deegan finished second in Moto 2 as well for second overall. After finishing eighth in Moto 1, Levi Kitchen did not believe he had a shot at the overall podium. He admitted as much in the post-race news conference, but riders dig deep when they are challenged, and Kitchen scored a hard-fought third-place finish in Moto 2. Relive Moto 1 On the opposite side of the coin, Marchbanks must have liked his chances for the overall podium after finishing third in Moto 1. As well as that race treated him, Moto 2 was the polar opposite, and Marchbanks replicated his teammate Kitchen's first race effort of eighth. Despite earning the same number of points, Marchbanks was pushed back to fourth via the tiebreaker. Every position matters. Tom Vialle demonstrated consistency in both motos, finishing sixth in the first race and fifth in Moto 2. In the closing laps of the second race, he was embroiled in a battle with Jo Shimoda for fourth. Had he secured the position, he would have earned the same amount of points as Kitchen and Marchbanks to secure the overall podium. Shimoda had a tall hill to climb after finishing ninth in Moto 1. His fourth-place finish in the second race elevated him to sixth overall.

Motocross 2025 450 results, highlights, finish at Thunder Valley: Jett Lawrence sweeps again
Jett Lawrence withstood pressure in both motos of Round 3 of the Pro Motocross season, Round 20 of the SuperMotocross Championship, before prevailing to sweep Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado. While Jett was credited with leading all 16 laps of Moto 1, he was briefly passed on course by Aaron Plessinger on Lap 13, marking one of the few times during his young MX career that he has relinquished the lead while under power. In Moto 2, Jett was in fifth place at the end of Lap 1 and forced to ride through the field, which he did just shy of the halfway mark. In the second half of the race, he had to contend with Eli Tomac before the hometown hero tucked a wheel and crashed. The competition is slowly closing the gap on a rider who has every Pro Motocross overall he's entered except for last year's Round 2 in the Hangtown Motocross Classic. Click here for a recap of Thunder Valley Tomac is not prone to making mistakes, but when Jett is the competition, it forces riders to take chances they would typically avoid. Tomac knew which section of the track on which he was able to gain on Jett and get the best propulsion through the corner. He entered that corner with too much speed and was too low on the track on Lap 13. He tucked his wheel and lost seven seconds picking up his bike. Tomac had a big enough gap on third-place Justin Cooper to maintain his position and finished second overall with a 3-2. Aaron Plessinger kept his streak of top-five finishes in motos alive with results of second in the first race and fifth in Moto 2. The highlight of the round was his battle with Jett and the realization that his pace has picked up enough to allow him to challenge at the very top of the chart. In the post-race news conference, Plessinger said it's only a matter of time before he wins. Relive Moto 1 Even with his pair of top-five finishes in Thunder Valley's motos, Cooper lost a little momentum last week. On a rutty track on which it wasn't easy to pass, Cooper's sixth-place start contributed to a fifth-place finish in the first moto. He led laps 3 through 7 before getting shuffled back to third, but he lost pace once Jett and Tomac completed their passes. Hunter Lawrence rounded out the top five with fourth-place results in both motos. Hunter led the first lap of Moto 2, lost the position to Cooper on Lap 2, and was passed by Jett and Tomac on Lap 6. Once there, he finished ahead of Plessinger but gave up too many points in Moto 1 to score ahead of the Red Bull rider in the overall standings.

Lachlan Turner wins Thunder Valley Women's Pro Motocross, extends points lead
Lachlan Turner took the lead from holeshot winner Charli Cannon on Lap 2 of the third round of the Women's Pro Motocross (WMX) season and held the advantage until the checkers waved over Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado. With her second win of the season, Turner extended her championship lead to 13 points. 'I love the rough tracks,' Turner told Peacock's Jason Thomas after the race. 'The rougher, the better. But they did smooth out the track a lot. It was fun battling with Charli. It was amazing.' In one of the most competitive WMX races of the season, Cannon's early pace and Turner's charge separated the two riders from the field. Cannon beat Kyleigh Stalling into the first turn with Turner and Mikayla Nielsen in tow before two separate battles for the podium developed. As they pushed one another to faster speeds, Cannon and Turner amassed a significant lead over the Stalling versus Nielsen battle. For the first five laps, Cannon matched Turner's pace, but after being slowed in the heavy ruts that developed with a full day's activity, Cannon lost eight seconds over the next two laps. 'That was a tough one,' Cannon told Will Christien. 'Not riding during the week (due to finger surgery five days before the season opener), really shows. I kind of died a bit. The first few laps were good, a couple of good battles with LaLa, but my hand started falling off the handlebars in the rough bumps. That made it tricky, but considering I have a broken finger and my lack of bike time, I'm happy with second.' This battle pitted last year's American Women's Pro Motocross (WMX) champion against Australia's women's champion. Stallings and Nielsen come together on the last lap! 🫣 #ProMotocross #SMX #WMX Fireworks developed on the final lap when Stallings attempted to take the final podium position from Round 1 winner Nielsen. Stallings dove to the inside and made contact with Nielsen on the steepest uphill section of the track. Both riders fell, and given the severity of the incline, it took them a minute to get their bikes upright. Riding with injuries from last week's round in Hangtown, a surprised Jordan Jarvis passed the two downed riders, noting that Nielsen was remounting her Honda as she blasted between the two bikes. That was all the encouragement Jarvis needed to beat Nielsen to the line by two seconds. Incredibly, the rider who began the weekend with a cast on her left hand, Jarvis, secured the final podium position. 'I had some bad luck last week, getting landed on,' Jarvis said. 'I'm not feeling great right now, by any means, but I was able to stay just close enough to be able to capitalize on their mistake. I'm not entirely sure what happened. Not the way I wanted to podium, but I'll take it.' Nielsen finished fourth with Jamie Astudillo rounding out the top five. Stallings finished just outside that mark in sixth.
