Motocross at Thunder Valley 2025, Round 3: How to watch, start times, schedule, TV info
The schedule is altered this week with the 450 class running their motos prior to the 250s to allow NBC to provide live coverage of one moto in each class of the Thunder Valley Nationals in Lakewood, Colorado. Jett Lawrence is the only rider to score podiums in the first two races, but that was largely due to Eli Tomac getting a poor start in Hangtown during Round 2. This has been a two-man show in the opening rounds with Lawrence earning three moto wins and Tomac one. If Tomac can put pressure on Jett, it will open the door for Hunter Lawrence, Aaron Plessinger, and Justin Cooper to step elevate their game as well. The storyline has been different in the 250 class with Haiden Deegan sweeping the motos in the first two rounds as he sets his sights on a perfect season.
