Tom Vialle to skip Pro Motocross Washougal National, joining Aaron Plessinger and Julien Beaumer
Red Bull KTM announced Tom Vialle will skip Round 8 of the 2025 Pro Motocross season in Washougal, Washington, following a crash in the Spring Creek National that left him unable to ride with soreness in his knee and shoulder. 'It's definitely unfortunate to announce that Tom Vialle will be sitting out this weekend's race,' said Ian Harrison, Team Manager, in a news release. 'It's a long and demanding season for our riders, and we've been extremely fortunate up to this point to have had a full roster through the majority of Supercross and Pro Motocross. 'Of course, we love seeing our entire team out on the track representing the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing program, but our riders' health and safety always come first. We fully support Tom's decision to take the weekend off so he can focus on finishing the season strong and continuing to fight for podiums.' Vialle crashed on Lap 1 of Moto 2 in Spring Creek, was slow to rise, and failed to mount up for the second race. He was scored 14th overall on the strength of his sixth-place finish. He was also outside the top 10 in the previous round at RedBud with a 13th-place overall result. Dan Beaver, The Red Bull team has been plagued by injury in 2025, with all four of their riders affected. The announcement came one day after the team announced 450 class rider Aaron Plessinger would also skip the round due to illness. Earlier this month, Red Bull announced that Julien Beaumer would sit out Spring Creek and Washougal to heal from an injured wrist, which will leave only Chase Sexton to represent the team in Washington this weekend. Sexton missed Rounds 2 through 5, returning two weeks ago for the RedBud National in Buchanan, Michigan. As with Plessinger and Beaumer, Vialle will take advantage of two off weeks following Washougal in order to be at his best for the final three rounds of the season, which begins with the Ironman National on August 9.

Aaron Plessinger to miss Washougal National for illness
Red Bull Factory Racing announced that Aaron Plessinger will miss this weekend's Round 8 of the 2025 Pro Motocross in Washougal, Washington. 'The Cowboy is addressing ongoing health issues that have affected him in recent weeks, prioritizing his recovery before aiming to return for Round 9 after the break,' Red Bull KTM announced on social media. 'Get well soon, AP! 🤠" Plessinger started the last two rounds strong, at RedBud and Spring Creek, but faded during the first moto of each round, complaining of a feverish condition in Moto 1 in Michigan. Plessinger managed a sixth-place finish in the first race at RedBud, but did not start Moto 2. He lined up for Moto 1 at Spring Creek and spent the first four laps in second place before pulling off the track on Lap 10. He was unable to line up for Moto 2 and did not earn any points in that round. Plessinger left Spring Creek third in combined SuperMotocross League points, 57 behind Cooper Webb, who will miss the remainder of the Motocross season to undergo minor knee surgery. 'First and foremost, I feel like I owe everyone an apology, from the fans to the guys on the team,' Plessinger said after RedBud. 'They work too hard for this stuff to happen. I didn't make the second moto at RedBud and that sucked. Everything was going good until it wasn't. I was doing really good in the first moto, I was keeping up with Hunter (Lawrence) and Jett (Lawrence), and 20 minutes in, my energy level just went — gone. 'I don't know what happened. I think I've been dealing with a little bit of a sickness. I tried to keep telling myself it wasn't happening, and it finally caught up to me.' Plessinger is 21 points ahead of his teammate Chase Sexton in SMX points. Sexton returned to action two rounds ago.

Motocross 2025 250 results, highlights, finish at Spring Creek: Haiden Deegan, Jeremy Martin split motos
Haiden Deegan fought through the effects of a deeply bruised leg suffered at RedBud to hold off Jo Shimoda for the Moto 1 victory, and Jeremy Martin ended his career on a high note by winning Moto 2 of the Spring Creek National in Millville, Minnesota. In Moto 1, Deegan led early before he lost some pace in the middle stage of the race. Shimoda pounced, but he did not create enough separation from the 250 Motocross leader and held the top spot for only one lap. Deegan's determination in that moto made the difference in the overall finish as well, because of the three-point separation between first and second. Deegan was awarded the overall victory by two points over Martin. Click here for a recap of Spring Creek There were no complaints from Martin, however, who was making the final start of his career. He knew he would end on a high note the moment he earned the holeshot in Moto 1; the roar of the hometown crowd told him as much. Martin gave up the lead to Shimoda on the first lap and second to Deegan on Lap 7, but he determined to hang onto his podium position and finished third in the first race. After earning the holeshot again in Moto 2, he lost the top spot to Shimoda before battling back to score an easy victory over Deegan. Any one of these accomplishments would have made Martin ecstatic, as he added a moto win and overall podium finish to his holeshots. Shimoda failed to back up last week's dominant performance in Buchanan, Michigan, with a third-place overall finish in Millville. He admitted to having a little help with his pass on Deegan in Moto 1, suggesting a lapped rider kept Deegan from taking the preferred groove. Shimoda battled Deegan in the closing laps of Moto 1, but did not have the pace to regain the lead once he lost. Fading to fourth in the second race, he vowed to keep working to close the distance. Relive Moto 1 It is only a matter of time before Mikkel Haarup earns his first overall podium. He finished fourth in the past two motos, but needed a little help at RedBud. His eighth- and fifth-place finishes were respectable, but his elevation to fourth overall was as much a factor of Deegan's and Levi Kitchen's misfortune. That was not true at Spring Creek, where Haarup swept the top five, finishing fourth in Moto 1 and third in Moto 2. This is only a preview of things to come, Haarup said after the race. Garrett Marchbanks rounded out the top five with seventh-place results in both motos. This was Marchbank's fourth top-five of 2025, but he came close on two other occasions with results of sixth in the season opener at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, and seventh at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts. Triumph Factory Racing is beginning to make a lot of noise by placing all four of their riders in the top 10. In addition to the fourth-place finish for Haarup, Austin Forkner (9-11) finished eighth overall, Jalek Swoll (16-5) was ninth, and Jordon Smith (15-8) was 10th.
