Supercross 2025 results: 250 highlights, finishing order, reaction at Philadelphia, Cole Davies wins again
Cole Davies benefited from a red flag for a crash involving teammate Daxton Bennick at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He got a great jump on the restart and rode to his second career 250 victory only one round after scoring his first in Seattle. Davies grabbed the lead on Lap 6 after passing Seth Hammaker and holeshot winner RJ Hampshire, while another of Davies' teammates, Haiden Deegan, took a little longer to get around those riders. That allowed Davies to develop a gap that Deegan could not close despite superior speed in the final laps. Davies is only the second rider this season to achieve multiple wins, joining Deegan in that honor. Deegan briefly fell outside the top three on the restart before climbing to third on Lap 7 and second on Lap 11. He's creating a reputation as a rider capable of coming through the pack, but poor starts create more drama for the teenager than he would prefer. In the post-race news conference, Deegan admitted to paying close attention to protecting his championship lead, and that caused him to back down his aggression slightly. Click here for a full recap of Philadelphia Hampshire was the highest-finishing rider from the Eastern division, and his third-place finish allowed him to secure a piece of the championship lead. Hampshire was the biggest beneficiary of the timing of the red flag because he fell in the opening lap of the initial start and dropped to the back. Had the red flag waved after three minutes of riding, AMA (American Motorcycle Association) rules would have called for a single-file restart. Instead, he got a second chance to get out of the gates strong and won the holeshot. Hammaker earned the holeshot at the initial start, but the red flag wiped it away. His second start wasn't terrible, but Hammaker could not assume the lead again and watched as other riders secured the more lucrative top three positions. Hammaker entered the round tied with Tom Vialle for the points lead and left Philadelphia tied with Hampshire. The battle for the 250 East title continues to be close. Philadelphia 450 Results Jo Shimoda rounded out the top five after passing Vialle with two laps remaining. After getting such a great start in the season opener in Anaheim, California, with the win, he has hovered around the top five with results of fourth through seventh in six of his next seven starts. Vialle's Philadelphia race could have been disastrous, especially after he failed to earn points in the mud in Foxborough. He crashed in his heat and had to qualify for the main by running the Last Chance Qualifier. A poor gate pick caused him to get pinched into a Tuff Blox during the first start of the feature. Vialle salvaged all he could and is now two points behind Hampshire and Hammaker.

Supercross 2025 results: 450 highlights, finishing order, reaction at Foxborough, Aaron Plessinger wins
With five rounds remaining, Aaron Plessinger became the seventh winner in the 450 division at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and achieved a level of Monster Energy Supercross Series winners that has not been witnessed since 1997. Plessinger seemed to be the only rider in the field happy to see the mud. He joked with fellow racers and the media before the evening program began, but he admitted to being a little nervous during post-race availability. No one truly knows what will happen in a mud race, and the multitude of issues that affected the other riders in the field could have impacted his race. Plessinger got a solid start, then 'stood up on the pegs and leaned back and pinned it.' Plessinger did not get the holeshot but led the field at the end of Lap 1 and never looked back in a race shortened because of conditions. The race was only nine laps long; Plessinger's success will last a lifetime. Shane McElrath was easily the second strongest rider in the feature. He tiptoed through the mud on the opening lap and completed it in third. In fact, despite the sketchy moments that defined the entire field, McElrath never has a serious issue in the race. He finished 26 seconds behind Plessinger but had a margin of more than a minute on third-place, which switched hands dramatically on the final lap. Cooper Webb trailed his principal points rival, Chase Sexton, for most of the race. Webb fell or was mired in mud several times during the evening, and when he completed the first lap in ninth, he was in jeopardy of losing significant ground in the standings. Webb failed to crack the top five until the checkers waved, but as Ken Roczen, Justin Barcia, and Sexton fell by the wayside, Webb slipped in to third. He was as surprised as the remainder of the field. Surprised might not be the way to describe Roczen's feeling about the last-lap pass that denied him the podium. He protested that Webb completed a jump on a red cross flag as the two went around a downed rider. Webb acknowledged the incident, stating that he was already committed to the maneuver when the flag was employed. AMA (American Motorcycle Association) officials agreed with Webb. As a result, Roczen was forced to settle for fourth, which was his third consecutive top-five. It was not long ago, however, when he scored three consecutive podiums in Detroit, Arlington, and Daytona, and he was thirsty for champagne after the grueling race. Roczen endured more than most of the competitors; he is racing with an extremely sore shoulder from a practice crash two weeks back. Barcia is another rider who excels in the mud. He was the fastest qualifier and spent the entire race in the top five, despite a trip or two to the ground. With rain forecast for next week in Philadelphia, he has his sights set on becoming the eighth winner of 2025. Sexton was set to make up huge ground on Webb this week. He climbed to second at the completion of Lap 5 while Webb languished in sixth, which would have shrunk the points differential to five. Instead, he lost an additional four points and trails the leader by 15. There is still a lot of racing to go, but Sexton cannot afford to lose many more points.
