SMX Next champion Alexander Fedortsov to turn pro in Pala, California
Alexander Fedortsov, the 18-year-old 2025 SMX Next Champion, will turn pro at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, racing for ClubMX. Fedortsov peaked when it mattered most in the SMX Next program. After running well but finishing outside the top 15 in four of the five rounds, he won the season finale over Landen Gordon and Enzo Temmerman. He secured the title in the winner-take-all scenario for the developmental series. Fedortsov was the fastest qualifier in four of the five events, and although he finished last in the Daytona Supercross race, he had a four-second lead on the competition before suffering a flat tire while leading. 'I really have nothing more to prove to myself in the amateur ranks, and I feel I can do a good job for the team starting with the outdoor season this year,' Fedortsov said in a news release. 'It's a bit of a risk but one I am willing to take at this point in my career. The Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX team has always been supportive of my decisions, and I am very thankful for their support into the pros. 'It is actually a dream come true for me, it is what every kid dreams about and now I get to actually do it.' Fedortsov has raced since the age of six, and his ability to look beyond any disappointment this week to eventual success is one of the key elements that make him appealing to ClubMX. 'It is rare to have talents in both Motocross and Supercross at such a young age,' said ClubMX team owner Brandon Haas. 'Alex impressed me every step of the way and bringing home the SMX Next Championship was icing on the cake. He takes direction well, he follows the program and has made believers out of the entire team. We talked internally about the risk vs. reward by moving him up but it was an easy decision. He has a lot of confidence and is totally unfazed by the competition. He is going to add one more layer of excitement to the outdoor season.' Fedortsov has trained at the Chesterfield, South Carolina, facility since early 2022. The length of his contract was unspecified, but described as 'long-term.'

2025 SMX Next Scouting Moto Combine Schedule
Here is the press release from MX Sports: Outdoor Component of Amateur Development Program Expands to Three Venues MORGANTOWN, (January 29, 2025) – MX Sports Pro Racing, in conjunction with the SMX LeagueTM, has announced the details of SMX Next – Motocross for the 2025 season, which will consist of a trio of Scouting Moto Combine presented by U.S. Air Force Special Warfare events. The outdoor component of SMX Next will run in conjunction with three rounds of the upcoming Pro Motocross Championship sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing. The first Scouting Moto Combine event will take place at the Hangtown Motocross Classic on May 30, followed by the second at the RedBud National on July 4, and concluding with the Ironman National on August 8. The SMX Next program combines the three Scouting Moto Combines with Feld Motor Sports' five-race SMX Next – Supercross program and culminates with the SMX Next World All-Stars during the SMX World ChampionshipTM Playoffs for a season-long collaborative effort to cultivate the development of top prospects from the talent-laden amateur level of the sport. SMX Next will officially commence for the 2025 season this Saturday at the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship round from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which will host the first SMX Next – Supercross event of the year. 'SMX Next continues to be one of the most groundbreaking initiatives this sport has implemented in its illustrious history, as it has greatly benefited the ongoing development and skill progression of the sport's most promising young athletes,' said Jim Perry, Program Director for the Scouting Moto Combine. 'The Scouting Moto Combine has played an integral part in the success of the program and will expand to include three events for the 2025 season, with the focus on providing more opportunities for the next generation of racers to experience competition at the highest level. We're eager to bring together a new collection of prospects this outdoor season and provide them with proven hands-on guidance that has fostered a wealth of success at the professional level.' Each Scouting Moto Combine event will take place on Friday, the eve of each respective National, bringing together 25 up-and-coming prospects from the highly competitive ranks of amateur motocross. Many of the racers boast a decorated résumé filled with success at various AMA Amateur Motocross Majors as well as the Monster Energy AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship, affectionately known as Loretta Lynn's. At the Combine, athletes are aligned with a group of riders coaches who offer mentorship, insight, and guidance into professional racing. This esteemed collective of coaches includes the likes of AMA Hall of Famer Broc Glover, former multi-time champion Chad Reed, and other championship caliber stalwarts from years past. In addition to coaching, Combine participants receive education on other aspects of competition such as health, fitness, and nutrition, as well as media engagement. The group of prospects is determined through a collaborative effort with American motocross' competing manufacturers in GASGAS, Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Triumph and Yamaha. While the Combine is a focal point each Friday at the selected events, its inclusion extends into the fanfare of Saturday's National with a commemorative parade lap in front of the thousands of fans in attendance. 2025 SMX Next – Motocross // Scouting Moto Combine EventsMay 30 Hangtown Motocross Classic Rancho Cordova, 4 RedBud National Buchanan, 8 Ironman National Crawfordsville, Ind.
