Motocross 2025 450 results, highlights, finish at RedBud: Jett Lawrence remains unstoppable
Jett revealed yet again that he has been toying with the competition. After last week's absolutely dominant performance at Southwick, Jett showed a different side to his strength. He won Moto 1 in his usual manner (with a margin of 16 seconds), but got a poor start in Moto 2. While trying to make up the differential, he crashed on Lap 1 and completed that lap in 18th. Jett passed five riders on Lap 2 and was inside the top 10 by Lap 3. One lap later, he was in the top five and had a podium position by Lap 6.
In 11 laps, Jett passed nearly half the field and established his lead, which he then stretched to more than eight seconds. When the dust settled, he earned the maximum number of points (50) and ended with a points lead greater than one full round. Equally important, there was a change of position in second behind him because of a horrible outing for Eli Tomac.

Hunter Lawrence finished second in Moto 1 in a secure spot, 16 seconds behind Jett and nearly 13 seconds ahead of RJ Hampshire, who scored his first moto podium of 2025. Hunter was passed by Justin Cooper late in the second race and lost an additional two points to his brother, but he left Michigan second in the championship standings. He is currently 51 points behind Jett.
Cooper still seeks his first moto win in the 450 division, but he replicated his best result with a second-place finish in Moto 2. Coupled with a fourth in the first race, he finished third overall, earned five points more than the SuperMotocross League points leader, Chase Sexton, and closed in on the No. 1 seed for the playoffs.
Hampshire's third-place finish in Moto 1 is a career best. So is his fourth-place overall showing after he finished sixth in the second moto. Last week at Southwick, he came close to cracking the top five with a sixth overall.
Relive Moto 1
Sexton returned to racing even though he might not have been 100 percent. Partly that was in an attempt to stave off the charge by Cooper for the top playoff seed, and partly because it's difficult to sit on the sidelines too long. Sexton revealed he has been battling health issues more than an injury, but even at a diminished capacity, he finished in the top five overall with results of fifth and fourth.
For a little while, it appeared Jorge Prado might get his first moto win. With Jett momentarily sidelined in Moto 2, Pardo led the first five laps. He faded to fifth at the checkers and finished sixth overall when his seventh-place Moto 1 result was added.
RedBud was disastrous for Tomac. He entered the race second in points, but still had a longshot chance to catch Jett. His bike had a different idea; it retired on Lap 10 while he was running third in Moto 1. Demoralized and suffering from a poor gate pick for the second race, he finished only seventh in Moto 2 to earn 15 points during the weekend. Tomac dropped to fourth in the Pro Motocross standings.
Tony Cairoli debuted the new Ducati dirt bike at RedBud and got off to a promising start with a ninth-place finish in Moto 1. The bike did not withstand the strain of Moto 2, but Cairoli was scored 14th overall.

Darius Cooper's impressive start has DeVonta Smith searching for his highlights on YouTube
After Friday's Eagles' preseason game, Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith went onto YouTube to search for Darius Cooper's Tarelton State highlights. Darius Cooper is playing out a rags-to-riches story with the Eagles, and he just reached another legendary status. Cooper was an FCS All-American at Tarleton State in Stephenville, Texas. The school is a founding member of the Texas A&M University System and enrolled over 15,000 students in the fall of 2024. Tucked in the middle of Fort Worth and Waco, the St. Louis native made a name for himself after he earned first-team Associated Press FCS All-America honors in his senior season. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound receiver is athletic and finished second in Division I in receiving yards with 1,450 (the second most in single-season school history) and sixth in touchdowns with 14 (the third most in single-season school history) in 2024. In 48 career games, Cooper accumulated 164 catches for 3,185 yards and 29 touchdowns, averaging 19.4 yards per catch. Cooper's start in Philadelphia has been so impressive, he's left the Eagles one Heisman Trophy winner searching out highlights. After Friday's preseason game, DeVonta Smith went onto YouTube to search for Darius Cooper's Tarelton State highlights. "YouTube's got everything," Smith said.) "He's a freak of nature," "He's fun to watch." Cooper has been a training camp standout and dominated the Bengals with six catches on seven targets for 82 yards and a touchdown. Another strong performance against the Browns could lock up a roster spot.

Unadilla Motocross 2025 preview: Top finishes, previous winners, historic results, who to watch
Hunter Lawrence's first overall motocross win, Jett Lawrence's penalty, Chase Sexton's hard crash in Moto 2 at Ironman Raceway Park last week, and the fact that Eli Tomac has never won an overall at Unadilla MX Park in New Berlin, New York, sets the stage for Round 10 of the Pro Motocross season, Round 27 of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX), to be one of the most interesting races of the season. Hosting races since 1969, Unadilla pre-dates Pro Motocross itself and has been the site of some iconic events, including the first Motocross of Nations in 1987. That year, Bob Hannah led Rick Johnson and Jeff Ward to victory in the middle of a 13-year streak of victories for Team USA. Last year, Sexton continued his string of victories at Unadilla and came close to wrapping up the 2024 championship. Dan Beaver, Jett won there in 2023 as part of his perfect rookie season, and he could easily clinch the Pro Motocross championship this week. The penalty at Ironman that kept him from securing the overall win and placed him outside the top five also put a chip on his shoulder that will make him even more dangerous. Losing two consecutive motocross rounds is extremely rare for Jett. The last time that happened was in the 250 class in 2022, and it came at the site of the following two rounds, Unadilla and Budds Creek, according to Ken Roczen will return to action this week and race the final two Motocross rounds in preparation for the SMX Playoffs. He won back-to-back rounds in 2019 and 2021 (2020 was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and has Sexton's goal of finishing in the top 10 in his first round back in mind this week. Hunter became the fourth rider to score his first overall win after standing on the podium at least 10 times. When Chad Reed first won in 2009, he had come close 27 times. That same season, Mike Alessi got his first win after 12 podiums. In 2022 at Hangtown, Jason Anderson completed the task after 16 top-three results. Hunter finished second 10 times and was on the podium 14 times previously before Ironman. RJ Hampshire scored his first overall podium last week after qualifying a season-best of second. 250 Notes Haiden Deegan has a chance to clinch the 250 division this week, and momentum is on his side after a 1-1 finish at Ironman. He has been first or second in 17 of the 18 motos run this week Deegan also has the chance to catch Jett in 250 wins at Unadilla and could pass him for sole possession of eighth on the chart if he races and wins in Budds Creek. Jett achieved 14 wins in 36 starts. If Deegan wins this week, he will have 14 victories in 34 starts. In the SMX points battle, Deegan clinched the No. 1 seed last week. Jo Shimoda is comfortably second, but the remainder of the top 10 is in question. Notably, positions sixth through 10th are separated by 16 points. Max Vohland (sixth), Julien Beaumer (seventh), Michael Mosiman (eighth), Levi Kitchen (ninth), and Jordon Smith (10th) all know how important those extra seeding points are when the three-round playoff begins in September.

Jalek Swoll (thumb, calf) out for the remainder of the 2025 SuperMotocross season
Jalek Swoll will sit out the remainder of the 2025 season after further aggravating a thumb injury and tearing a calf muscle at Ironman Raceway in Crawfordsville, Indiana, in Round 9 of the Pro Motocross season. 'Unfortunately in qualifying over the weekend I tore my calf, no crash or dab in a corner just landed a jump and boom,' Swoll posted on social media. 'We assume it was just weak from when I did my Achilles and in that case there's nothing I could've done, between my thumb injury and not being able to practice during my time racing and now tearing my calf it's been tough and I can proudly say my body has had enough before I did. ... With that being said, me and the team have decided to sit out the rest of the year to get healed and ready to contend in 2026. 'Very proud of myself and the team for helping me get back to being competitive and on the box in such [a] short amount of time, the effort is there and excited to dog this offseason out. [S]ee you soon.' The calf injury will not require surgery, but rest is necessary to allow it to heal. Dan Beaver, 'Jalek has unfortunately sustained a calf muscle injury,' said Jeremy Coker, General Manager, Triumph Racing America. 'While the good part is that it doesn't require surgery, it is unfortunately one of those things that just takes time. With that being said, the team and Jalek have decided it is best for him to sit out the rest of the year and focus on being 100% for the 2026 season. Jalek had just started to show his true potential, and I am absolutely gutted for him. I do know that he will put his best foot forward and come back even stronger in 2026.' Swoll injured his Achilles tendon in practice prior to the start of the Monster Energy Supercross 250 West season opener and missed the entire SX season. He returned in Round 3 of the Pro Motocross season to finish 10th in the High Point National in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania. Two rounds later, he shocked the field with a runner-up finish in RedBud. Despite his calf injury last weekend, Swoll had a strong start in Moto 1 at Ironman and finished 10th. He collided with another rider and then pulled off track early in Moto 2. Swoll did not earn any points in that race, resulting in a 16th-place finish overall.
