Max Anstie breaks leg Birmingham qualification
With three minutes remaining on the clock in the first qualification session, running seventh at the time, Max Anstie was bounced off his bike and landed awkwardly, favoring his left leg. He was helped to the medical cart by the Alpinestars medical crew and it was announced later on Peacock's Race Day Live show that he broke his leg in the incident.
Anstie entered the round one point behind championship leader Tom Vialle after losing positions to that rider in the last two rounds.
Anstie landed on the crest of a jump and was propelled forward to his his head on the front wheel before leaving the seat of his Yamaha.
An announcement has not been made by the team, but it is likely that he will be forced to miss the remainder of the Monster Energy Supercross season.

"Really tough day" for Fabio Quartararo as Yamaha struggles at Aragon MotoGP
The low-grip Aragon track was a prime suspect to expose the deficiencies of Yamaha's YZR-M1 machine and unfortunately for Fabio Quartararo and the Japanese manufacturer the issue was in the spotlight. There was no shortage of sympathy for the luckless Frenchman whose Yamaha machine snapped and jumped seemingly on the exit of every corner around the track during Friday practice. Advertisement To add insult to injury, Quartararo's Yamaha was joint-slowest through the speed trap, almost 10 km/h (6 mph) slower than Brad Binder's KTM. The inability to put power down on the tarmac was undoubtedly a key factor in the speed difference. With frantic gesticulation while out on track, it was clear that Quartararo wasn't pleased. He left the garage as soon as the session was over, preferring to cool down before he dived into the debriefs. At least Quartararo could see the funny side when he spoke to the media, as he hops from one end of the grid to the other this weekend. 'We almost made the pole position on the other side [at the back of the grid],' joked the Frenchman initially. 'A really, really tough day especially with the soft tyre. We don't understand what really happened with electronics and stuff but not the best day and especially [since] we don't understand why. 'The problem is that you never know when to expect it and in our case, it is not the best when you are on the bike fully in angle and you never know if you're going to lose it on the edge or on the exit and I didn't make any lap. The four laps I did was all cutting and making mistakes so we will have to find a solution.'

'The set-up is good," said the 2021 MotoGP champion. "We have to just understand why when we change rubber it completely changes our bike, and our electronics become crazy.' Yamaha team director Massimo Meregalli was equally disappointed in the session understanding the problem suffered by his riders as Quartararo and Alex Rins finished the Friday in 18th and 15th respectively. 'They are suffering the same problem, it's the rear grip,' Meregalli said. 'They are losing the rear a lot. Every time they try, they lose the rear. So they have to try to understand how to at least reduce the slide and improve the performance.

Honestly I did not hear any comment because Fabio left to go and get changed but I think it was very easy to understand.' There's a lot of work for the Yamaha team tonight to go over the data to see why the soft tyre is causing so many problems. Quartararo will be praying they find a golden fix for the bike's woes.

Motocross at Thunder Valley 2025, Round 3: How to watch, start times, schedule, TV info
The schedule is altered this week with the 450 class running their motos prior to the 250s to allow NBC to provide live coverage of one moto in each class of the Thunder Valley Nationals in Lakewood, Colorado. Jett Lawrence is the only rider to score podiums in the first two races, but that was largely due to Eli Tomac getting a poor start in Hangtown during Round 2. This has been a two-man show in the opening rounds with Lawrence earning three moto wins and Tomac one. If Tomac can put pressure on Jett, it will open the door for Hunter Lawrence, Aaron Plessinger, and Justin Cooper to step elevate their game as well.
