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.

Stilez Robertson ends professional racing career
Injury kept Stilez Robertson from competing in 2024 and after re-injuring his wrist in the first race of the Monster Energy Supercross series and again in Round 1 of Pro Motocross, he has made the difficult decision to end his professional dirt bike racing career. 'I've made a really hard decision, but with my wrist injury still bothering me, I am stepping away from professional racing,' Robertson said in a press release. 'I've been at the practice track supporting the other riders on the team this summer and I've been really enjoying it, as well as helping develop Triumph's amateur racing program. 'The team has been super-supportive and really understanding the whole time and we've done everything possible to get healthy and back to racing. Finally, I want to say thank you to all of the sponsors that have helped me through my career, as well as my family, friends, and fans.' Robertson was announced as part of the powerhouse, four-rider lineup for Triumph Racing at the start of the season, a lineup that included Austin Forkner and Jordon Smith. A modest finish of 20th in the first Anaheim race was followed by a wrist injury the following week in San Diego. Robertson worked on his recovery, returned for the Pro Motocross season opener and promptly re-injured his wrist after clipping a rider who fell in his path at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. 'Stilez's decision to retire from professional racing is never an easy call to make,' said Jeremy Coker, General Manager, Triumph Racing America. 'During the off-season, things were going well, but then he hurt his wrist again in San Diego. Later, at Pala, it happened again, which was really frustrating for him as he'd put in a lot of work to get ready. It's sad that his career has been cut short. I have the utmost respect for him and wish him the best for the next chapter of his life.' Robertson amassed four podium SuperMotocross podiums, with a pair of second-place finishes at Daytona in 2021 and 2022 in 250 SX as his best results.
