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.

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.

Reid Taylor to make professional debut in High Point Nationals on a 250
Reid Taylor, 21, will make his American professional dirt bike debut in the High Point Nationals this week in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania. Originally scheduled to debut in the 250 East division of the Monster Energy Supercross season, Taylor underwent minor surgery that delayed his start. Instead of heading home to his native Australia after the surgery, Taylor remained in the United States and relocated to the ClubMX Training Facility in Chesterfield, South Carolina, to maximize his recovery. Taylor's Supercross credentials include the 2023 and 2024 Australian Junior Supercross Championships as well as the 2024 Indian Supercross Championship, so it was an easy decision to tag him as Devin Simonson's replacement when that rider was injured late last year. 'I genuinely appreciate the opportunity to race for the team at High Point,' Taylor said in a news release. 'It wasn't in the plans, but it is definitely something that I want to do. Being at ClubMX on a full-time basis has changed the way I go about racing. The intensity, structure and focus are something that has been very beneficial to me. These guys are 'all in' and I want to return the favor by representing them the best way possible.' Taylor's High Point start is the only motocross race on his schedule for now, as Taylor needs to return to Australia to honor his visa requirements. He will return to the US later in the summer. 'Reid has fit right into our program,' said ClubMX team owner Brandon Haas. 'He follows everything we have asked him to do, and the results show it. We had a spot available for High Point and our organization has always been about giving riders a chance, so it only made sense to follow through on the idea. I discussed with the team and they were all in favor of it too, so this decision will be good for everyone.'
