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.

Ironman Motocross betting, predictions, odds, picks, lines: Jett Lawrence tumbles after two losses
For Round 10 of the Pro Motocross series at Unadilla MX Park in New Berlin, New York, Jett Lawrence hit an unprecedented level in his raw, opening betting odds on the heels of back-to-back losses. That bit of good news is offset by the fact that he continues to show minus odds of -179 midway through the week. Lawrence was as unattractive as -824 heading into the Washougal National, a race he lost to Chase Sexton. Last week's overall loss was attributed to a penalty in Moto 1, where Jett jumped the start and fouled the gate. While the mistake was self-inflicted, it is also unlikely to occur again, and Jett should be judged on his riding. He entered Turn 1 last week outside the top 20 and rode up to third at the checkers. If not for the penalty, his 3-1 would have narrowly edged Hunter Lawrence's 2-2 for the overall win. Instead, he was credited with 17th in Moto 1 and finished sixth overall. Certainly, few, if any, bettors risked a bet of -2757 for Jett to stand on the podium. If so, they lost up to a season's worth of advances. The traders at Alt Sports Data, the official linemaker for the SuperMotocross World Championship, are not going to allow any bargains when it comes to a podium; Jett is posted at -2422 to finish third or better. Hunter became the third winner of 2025 with his pair of runner-up finishes at Ironman. It was a victory long in the making after Hunter scored 10 second-place overall finishes heading into that race. His raw opening odds were +435, which was the third-ranked line of the weekend. With the retirement of Sexton for the final two rounds of 2025, there is a shakeup at the top. RJ Hampshire (+537) earned his first career podium last week and finished second. The traders believe he is capable of backing that up and ranked him third. As a result, Hampshire leapfrogged Eli Tomac (+589), who was pushed down to fourth. Tomac did not make much noise last week, but he was battling an illness that began on Friday and intensified on race day. Had he been 100 percent, Tomac would have been a much stronger competitor for the win. The field still has a lot of ground to cover if they want to challenge Jett weekly, but they know it is possible to beat him. They need to stay close enough to the front of the pack in Moto 1 to contend. Justin Cooper (+1057) is the fifth-ranked rider this week with odds just outside 10/1. He has been consistent in 2025, but with only two podiums, at Hangtown and Redbud, he is too risky for a large bet. He narrowly missed the podium last week with a fourth overall, but that would have been amended to fifth without Jett's penalty. Ken Roczen (+1787) returns to action this week, and the traders are showing a lot of respect at nearly 18/1. His opening odds for a podium were +486, and while Sexton's departure makes that a little easier to achieve, there is too much risk for conservative bettors.
