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.

Cash boost for South West hospitals
Hospitals in Devon and Cornwall have been given more than £22m for vital repairs, the Department of Health and Social Care has confirmed. It comes as part of the £750m announced for the NHS in England in the autumn budget. Devon's hospitals have been given more than £15m for improvements, while Cornish hospitals will benefit from more than £8m. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the government was "on a mission" to rebuild the NHS through investment and modernisation. Among the hospitals receiving funding were three of the largest in both counties - the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (RD&E) in Exeter, Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, and the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro. Derriford Hospital has been given £1,815,000 for improvements to ventilation equipment in the neonatal unit. Ashley Dalton MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Prevention, during a visit to Derriford Hospital, said the new system would improve environmental conditions for babies receiving specialist care. Elsewhere in Devon, RD&E and North Devon District Hospital, managed by the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, have been jointly allocated £5,412,000 for improvements to ventilation systems, and fire safety works. Various healthcare units, managed by the Devon Partnership NHS Trust, have been given £300,000 for improvements to energy systems. In Cornwall, the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro has been given £4,379,000 for improvements to energy, electrical, and water systems. The Department for Health and Social Care also announced £3.9m for Bodmin Hospital, to improve fire safety. The Department of Health and Social Care said fixing the "backlog of maintenance" at NHS hospitals would help to prevent cancellations. It said services were disrupted more than 4,000 times across England in 2023 and 2024 due to issues with poor quality buildings. Mr Streeting said: "A decade and a half of underinvestment left hospitals crumbling, with burst pipes flooding emergency departments, faulty electrical systems shutting down operating theatres, and mothers giving birth in outdated facilities that lack basic dignity." He said patients and staff deserved to be in buildings which were "safe, comfortable, and fit for purpose." Follow BBC Cornwall on X, Facebook and Instagram.
