Thunder Valley Motocross 2025 preview: Top finishes, previous winners, historic results, who to watch
The first rounds of the 2025 Pro Motocross season have been dominated by a battle between the past and future, with the Young Gun Jett Lawrence and veteran Eli Tomac challenging for supremacy. With two 450 class wins each at Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado, there is no reason to believe this week will be any different. Jett's victories came in the past two seasons, and one might suppose that would give him an advantage, but Tomac was not in the field to challenge for those victories. The history of head-to-head competition between Jett and Tomac is limited to this season. Tomac won at Thunder Valley in 2018 and 2020. Dan Beaver, It is too early to determine whether Tomac can consistently challenge Jett across the two-moto format Pro Motocross employs. In the first two rounds, Tomac has been unable to secure two consecutive strong runs in a weekend, which has cost him a shot at overall victory. Last week's race in Rancho Cordova, California, was determined by a mistake by Tomac. He got a poor start and tucked a wheel as he surged through the field in Moto 2. Jett did not have as great a disadvantage in Moto 1, but it is worth noting that he chose to accept his third-place position and did not push beyond his ability. Fans and pundits will learn a little more this week as the rivals go head-to-head once more. Tomac's Moto 1 victory placed him second on the list, breaking out of a tie with Ryan Dungey. The GOAT, Ricky Carmichael, will not be caught anytime soon, if ever. He has 141 moto wins. Unfortunately, Ken Roczen will not be competing this weekend. He would bring an added element to the race. With five wins, Roczen stands head and shoulders above recent competitors, but his injured ankle has yet to allow him to return. But that does not mean there might not be a surprise winner. Justin Cooper loves this track with 250 class wins in 2020 and 2021. He finished with a career-best second-place finish in the season opener at Fox Raceway and replicated it with another runner-up result last week. If he can put two good motos together, he could earn sports bettors a huge payday as he opened this week with a line of about 44/1. Aaron Plessinger is another rider to watch in Lakewood. He is off to the best start of his Pro Motocross career with back-to-back top-five overall finishes. Plessinger has not finished outside the top five in a moto in his last 17 races, stretching back to the first race at Southwick last year. According to Haiden Deegan became the first rider in 11 years to sweep the first two 250 class rounds of a season. In 2014, Jeremy Martin won the first five motos. As Deegan contemplates the right time to graduate to the 450 class, he would like to replicate Jett's 2023 450 class feat of completing a perfect season. During the first two rounds, Deegan has not been seriously challenged, so that is not an unimaginable goal. Nine rounds and 18 motos remain, however, and Jo Shimoda may have something to add to the conversation after starting the year with four consecutive second-place results.

Fox Raceway Motocross 2025 preview: Top finishes, previous winners, historic results, who to watch
The Pro Motocross series opens at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, for the fifth consecutive season with the 11th edition of an outdoor round on the track. This venue has both launched and finalized seasons, but one thing has remained the same during its recent history: the domination of the Lawrence brothers. Jett Lawrence is undefeated in Pala in the 450 division. He swept the two motos in 2023 and 2024 to launch both seasons with a notable lead. Before that, he was the overall winner of five consecutive 250 divisional rounds, scoring seven moto wins and three second-place finishes in the process. As soon as Jett moved up to the senior division, Hunter Lawrence took his place by finishing third in the first race and winning the second moto for the overall 250 win in 2023. In 2024, he was second to Jett with second and third-place results in the 450 class. The last time someone other than Jett won a 450 race in Pala, Eli Tomac swept the 2022 event. He has another overall win in 2021 with results of second and first. The reigning Motocross champion, Chase Sexton, finished third behind the Lawrences last year, was second to Jett in 2023 and Tomac in the second race of 2022, and won the opener in 2022. These are riders to watch this week, even though Jett, Tomac, and Hunter are all returning from injury. Jett and Tomac have never raced one another in Pro Motocross. It will be interesting to see if they renew their Supercross battle from one hour south of Pala when Tomac beat Jett in beast mode. No one other than Jett and Sexton has won in the past two seasons. Sexton filled the gap when Jett was forced to the sidelines, winning 11 times while Jett was recovering from a thumb injury last year and an ACL injury during this 2025 season. They are not the only riders to watch, however. Jorge Prado and Jason Anderson will also return to action in Pala, adding to the championship appeal. Between them, five riders returning from injury or illness represent 13 titles, including those won by Prado in MXGP, according to In addition to Prado's 450 championships, he has a pair in the 250 class (2018 and 2019). If he stays healthy, it is difficult to imagine that he will not play the role of spoiler. The only time a rider with a last name other than Lawrence won in the 250 division at Fox Raceway in the past five years was Haiden Deegan, who swept the motos in 2024. Deegan could be challenged if Jo Shimoda picks up the pace in the second race. He has an average finish of 5.3 in Moto 1 versus 10.4 in Moto 2.

Supercross 2025 Denver preview: Top finishes, previous winners, who to watch
Chase Sexton no longer controls his fate at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado with two rounds remaining in the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season, but it is still too soon to hand the trophy to Cooper Webb. A lot can happen with two practice sessions, four qualification sessions, two heats, and two features remaining. Anyone following SuperMotocross knows danger lurks on every landing. In five previous rounds at this venue, no rider has multiple wins, but that is likely to change given the momentum of Webb and Sexton. Denver became an annual staple beginning in 2022 with Jason Anderson crowned the winner. The 2023 race was marred by a serious injury to Eli Tomac that forced him to retire as Chase Sexton won the race and eventually the title that year. Cooper Webb is the defending champion of this race with Sexton finishing second last year. The two riders have been equal at Denver, however; Webb was second to Sexton in 2023. That is also the way the season has gone. Webb and Sexton have finished 1-2 on six occasions this season with each of them winning three rounds. If that pattern holds, Webb wins the title. But Webb has finished three or more positions behind Sexton on three occasions, so no one is relaxing yet. A third-place finish will not lock up the title for Webb, but that would be his 76th podium and tie him for eighth on the all time list with Ken Roczen, unless the German-born rider also podiums. James Stewart and Kevin Windham also have 76 podiums to their credit. Notably, only one rider entered this week finished in the top five last year. Webb was fifth as injuries have eliminated the 2024 winner Jett Lawrence, his brother Hunter Lawrence (second), Anderson (third), and Justin Barcia (fourth) In the 250 division, Haiden Deegan closes in on his first Supercross title. He has a 17-point gap over Cole Davies and could wrap up the championship if his teammate struggles. A Deegan win coupled with a finish of fifth or worse would clinch. Deegan is in this position from raw speed. He's led 73 of 159 laps in the 250 West division, nearly as many as all other riders combined. When he gets a poor start, Deegan is capable of riding through the field and according to he has not lost a position from the hole shot line until the checkers all season. 2025 Top-10 finishers 450s Cooper Webb (5 wins; 12 podiums, 14 top-fives, 15 top-10s) Chase Sexton (5 wins, 10 podiums, 13 top-fives, 15 top-10s) Ken Roczen (1 win, 7 podiums, 11 top-fives, 13 top-10s) Aaron Plessinger (1 win, 5 podiums, 7 top-fives, 13 top-10s) Malcolm Stewart (1 win, 2 podiums, 5 top-fives, 14 top-10s) Jett Lawrence (1 win, 2 podiums, 2 top-fives, 3 top-10s) Eli Tomac (1 win, 1 podium, 3 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Jason Anderson (3 podiums, 3 top-fives, 7 top-10s) Justin Cooper (2 podiums, 7 top-fives, 12 top-10s) Hunter Lawrence (2 podiums, 3 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Shane McElrath (1 podium, 1 top-five, 6 top-10s) Justin Barcia (2 top-fives, 11 top-10s) Dylan Ferrandis (2 top-fives, 8 top-10s) Justin Hill (1 top-five, 10 top-10s) Joey Savatgy (1 top-five, 6 top-10s) Benny Bloss (4 top-10s) Dean Wilson (2 top-10s) Colt Nichols (1 top-10) Logan Leitzel (1 top-10) 250s Haiden Deegan (2 wins, 7 podiums, 8 top-fives, 8 top-10s) Cole Davies (2 wins, 4 podiums, 6 top-fives, 8 top-10s) Seth Hammaker (2 wins, 3 podiums, 7 top-fives, 8 top-10s) Tom Vialle (1 win, 5 podiums, 7 top-fives, 8 top-10s) RJ Hampshire (1 win, 5 podiums, 7 top-fives, 7 top-10s) Julien Beaumer (1 win, 3 podiums, 5 top-fives, 7 top-10s) Jordon Smith (1 win, 3 podiums, 4 top-fives, 5 top-10s) Nate Thrasher (1 win, 2 podiums, 4 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Max Anstie (1 win, 2 podiums, 2 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Jo Shimoda (1 win, 1 podium, 4 top-fives, 8 top-10s) Chance Hymas (1 win, 1 podium, 2 top-fives, 7 top-10s) Levi Kitchen (1 win, 1 podium, 1 top-five, 1 top-10) Daxton Bennick (1 podium, 3 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Maximus Vohland (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 7 top-10s) Coty Schock (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Garrett Marchbanks (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Michael Mosiman (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 5 top-10s) Cullin Park (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 5 top-10s) Cameron McAdoo (1 podium, 1 top-five, 1 top-10) Gage Linville (1 podium, 1 top-five, 1 top-10) Ryder DiFrancesco (2 top-fives, 2 top-10s) Justin Rodbell (1 top-five, 1 top-10) Anthony Bourdon (3 top-10s) Austin Forkner (3 top-10s) Henry Miller (3 top-10s) Hunter Yoder (2 top-10s) Carson Mumford (2 top-10s) Hardy Munoz (2 top-10s) Cole Thompson (2 top-10) Enzo Lopes (2 top-10s) Devin Simonson (2 top-10s) Drew Adams (1 top-10) Parker Ross (1 top-10) Levi Kitchen (1 top-10) Lux Turner (1 top-10) Jett Reynolds (1 top-10) Gavin Towers (1 top-10) Lance Kobusch (1 top-10) Jack Chambers (1 top-10) Mark Fineis (1 top-10) Preston Taylor (1 top-10) Luke Neese (1 top-10) Bryce Shelly (1 top-10) 450s 2024: Cooper Webb (Followed by Chase Sexton, Aaron Plessinger) 2023: Chase Sexton (Ken Roczen, Adam Cianciarulo) 2022: Jason Anderson (Malcolm Stewart, Marvin Musquin) 2019: Eli Tomac (Cooper Webb, Marvin Musquin) 1996 (250s): Jeremy McGrath (Ezra Lusk, Jeff Emig) 250s 2024: Jo Shimoda (Levi Kitchen, RJ Hampshire) 2023: RJ Hampshire (Levi Kitchen, Jett Lawrence) 2022: Hunter Lawrence (Michael Mosiman, Christian Craig) 2019: Adam Cianciarulo (Dylan Ferrandis, Colt Nichols) 1996 (125s): Kevin Windham (Kim Ashkenazi, Casey Johnson) Previews Pittsburgh | New Jersey | Philadelphia | Foxborough | Seattle | Birmingham | Indianapolis | Daytona | Arlington | Detroit | Tampa | Anaheim 2 | San Diego | Anaheim 1 More SuperMotocross News Denver Betting Guide Pittsburgh Recap | 450 Results | 250 Results Seth Hammaker's Northeast success Justin Barcia to miss the final three SX rounds Jerry Robin paralyzed in NJ crash Mitchell Oldenburg renews with Beta Robbie Wageman returns to racing Jorge Prado returns to training Daxton Bennick suffers compression fracture

Supercross 2025 Pittsburgh preview: Top finishes, previous winners, who to watch
The 2025 Monster Energy Supercross season is down to its last three races as they head into Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the first time in more than 40 years. To put that into perspective, the premier class at the time was 250cc, and there was no undercard. Legends Bob Hannah (1978) and Broc Glover (1983) were the winners, as everyone in the field will need to learn the characteristics of the new dirt. This is the fourth and final race of the Northeast Tour, and weather could play a factor again. As of Tuesday's writing, Friday shows a 20 to 40 percent chance of precipitation in the morning, running through early afternoon on Saturday, but there should be time for the clouds to clear. After back-to-back daytime races, the Round 14 schedule reverts to the evening with opening ceremonies kicking off at 6:30 p.m. ET. Chase Sexton has the momentum with three wins and a second-place finish in the last five rounds. In Philadelphia, Sexton told NBC Sports he would win the championship if he won the remaining races. Two down; three to go. If Sexton can win the final five races of the season, he will be the fourth rider in Supercross history to do so, according to Chad Reed ended the 2003 season with six wins, but had to settle for second in the points. In 2007, James Stewart won seven races at the end and scored the championship. The GOAT, Ricky Carmichael won an incredible 13 races at the end of 2001 in route to the title. Cooper Webb has a nine-point lead and podium finishes in 10 of the last nine rounds. He's finished worse than fourth only once this season, but that will not matter if Sexton wins the final three rounds. Suffice it to say, there is plenty of anxiety to go around at the front of the pack. The area is better known for outdoor racing, with Pro Motocross' headquarters 75 miles down the road in Morgantown, West Virginia. High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, is in spitting distance of the HQ, and Steel City Raceway was 20 miles east of Acrisure Stadium. Dan Beaver, Thoughts will be heavy this week as the field lines up without Jerry Robin. The privateer crashed in qualification last week and hit the face of the next jump at a catastrophic angle. He underwent surgery to fuse several vertebrae and is currently paralyzed from the waist down. The surgery was as successful as possible, and Robin is hoping he will walk again. A page has been created for fans who wish to donate to help defray his bills. In the 250 East division, Seth Hammaker has a three-point lead over RJ Hampshire. If he can hold onto his advantage through Pittsburgh and the season-ending race in Salt Lake City, Hammaker will give Pro Circuit Kawasaki its first Supercross title in nearly six years (five years, eight months, and 16 days, to be precise). There have been 11 winners in 14 250 SX races. Tom Vialle still has a shot at winning the championship, but it is becoming increasingly likely that he will have to win one of his last two attempts to defend his 2024 title.

Supercross 2025 New Jersey preview: Top finishes, previous winners, who to watch
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, has hosted Monster Energy Supercross races in alternating years since 2017, but that pattern was interrupted in 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic. The most recent race in 2023 may seem familiar as it was one of the muddiest in recent history, before the 2025 Northeastern tour kickoff two weeks ago in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Justin Barcia seeks his first SuperMotocross victory since that day, and with unique winners piling up this season, he will look forward to Saturday's daytime race. Barcia may be one of the only riders disappointed that Saturday's weather forecast has only a 10 percent chance of rain in the morning and no discernible chance in the afternoon. Well, Barcia may be joined in that emotion by Aaron Plessinger, who won the most recent mudder in Foxborough. Even with a fairly long history, this venue has distributed wins and podiums democratically. No active rider has more than a single win, with Barcia joined by Cooper Webb in 2019 and Ken Roczen in 2016. Eli Tomac also won in 2015 but has not yet returned to racing after breaking his fibula earlier in the year. Eight riders have won the most recent eight races at MetLife. Roczen leads the active riders entered this week with two podiums. No one else has more than one. More: What Riders Said After Philadelphia The championship battle remains the week's focus after Chase Sexton narrowed the gap from 15 points to 12 with his Philadelphia win. Sexton continues to control his fate if he can win the remaining four or earn an average of three points on Webb in the final four races. Sexton won two weeks ago and only lost ground when mired in the Massachusetts mud. Last week, the two riders were evenly matched for most of the race. The difference was how long it took Webb to pass Roczen for second after Sexton grabbed the lead. If Sexton wins out, he will amass five victories in a row. That feat was last accomplished in 2022 by Tomac. In 2025, no one has achieved three consecutive wins yet. Sexton has a ton of confidence this week after sweeping the weekend in Philly. He won both qualification sessions before winning his heat and the main. Webb still holds the advantage as it's often easier to defend than attack. Webb has two more podiums than Sexton in 2025, and with last week's second-place finish, he passed Barcia for ninth on the all-time list. According to he is now two podiums behind eighth place, which James Stewart and Kevin Windham share. If Webb wants to win the championship, he will undoubtedly need to take that position before the season ends in Salt Lake City. The 250 East title battle is closely contested. Two points separate three riders, and they have had a share of the red plate recently. Tom Vialle and Seth Hammaker entered Philadelphia with a tie for the points lead. RJ Hampshire was the top-finishing East rider in last week's East / West Showdown and he replaced Vialle as the rider tied with Hammaker. Any of these three riders can have sole possession of the plate if they win in New Jersey. Vialle and Hampshire know what it's like to win the title. Vialle was last year's Eastern champion; Hampshire won the Western division. Hammaker's best points finish is fourth in the 2021 Western Division championship. 2025 Top-10 finishers 450s Cooper Webb (4 wins; 10 podiums, 12 top-fives, 13 top-10s) Chase Sexton (4 wins, 8 podiums, 11 top-fives, 13 top-10s) Ken Roczen (1 win, 7 podiums, 11 top-fives, 11 top-10s) Aaron Plessinger (1 win, 4 podiums, 5 top-fives, 11 top-10s) Malcolm Stewart (1 win, 2 podiums, 4 top-fives, 12 top-10s) Jett Lawrence (1 win, 2 podiums, 2 top-fives, 3 top-10s) Eli Tomac (1 win, 1 podium, 3 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Jason Anderson (3 podiums, 3 top-fives, 7 top-10s) Hunter Lawrence (2 podiums, 3 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Justin Cooper (1 podium, 5 top-fives, 10 top-10s) Shane McElrath (1 podium, 1 top-five, 4 top-10s) Justin Barcia (2 top-fives, 11 top-10s) Justin Hill (1 top-five, 9 top-10s) Dylan Ferrandis (1 top-five, 6 top-10s) Joey Savatgy (1 top-five, 5 top-10s) Benny Bloss (4 top-10s) Colt Nichols (1 top-10) Logan Leitzel (1 top-10) 250s Haiden Deegan (2 wins, 7 podiums, 8 top-fives, 8 top-10s) Cole Davies (2 wins, 4 podiums, 6 top-fives, 8 top-10s) RJ Hampshire (1 win, 4 podiums, 5 top-fives, 5 top-10s) Julien Beaumer (1 win, 3 podiums, 5 top-fives, 7 top-10s) Jordon Smith (1 win, 3 podiums, 4 top-fives, 5 top-10s) Seth Hammaker (1 win, 2 podiums, 5 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Max Anstie (1 win, 2 podiums, 2 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Jo Shimoda (1 win, 1 podium, 4 top-fives, 8 top-10s) Chance Hymas (1 win, 1 podium, 2 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Nate Thrasher (1 win, 1 podium, 2 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Levi Kitchen (1 win, 1 podium, 1 top-five, 1 top-10) Tom Vialle (3 podiums, 5 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Daxton Bennick (1 podium, 3 top-fives, 4 top-10s) Coty Schock (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Garrett Marchbanks (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 6 top-10s) Michael Mosiman (1 podium, 2 top-fives, 5 top-10s) Cullin Park (1 podium, 1 top-five, 4 top-10s) Cameron McAdoo (1 podium, 1 top-five, 1 top-10) Gage Linville (1 podium, 1 top-five, 1 top-10) Ryder DiFrancesco (2 top-fives, 2 top-10s) Maximus Vohland (1 top-five, 5 top-10s) Justin Rodbell (1 top-five, 1 top-10) Anthony Bourdon (3 top-10s) Hunter Yoder (2 top-10s) Carson Mumford (2 top-10s) Austin Forkner (2 top-10s) Hardy Munoz (2 top-10s) Cole Thompson (2 top-10) Enzo Lopes (2 top-10s) Drew Adams (1 top-10) Parker Ross (1 top-10) Levi Kitchen (1 top-10) Henry Miller (1 top-10) Lux Turner (1 top-10) Jett Reynolds (1 top-10) Gavin Towers (1 top-10) Lance Kobusch (1 top-10) Jack Chambers (1 top-10) Mark Fineis (1 top-10) Preston Taylor (1 top-10) Previous Philadelphia Winners 450s 2023: Justin Barcia (Followed by Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen) 2019: Cooper Webb (Zach Osborne, Eli Tomac) 2017: Ryan Dungey (Marvin Musquin, Jason Anderson) 2016: Ken Roczen (Eli Tomac, Cole Seely) 2015: Eli Tomac (Ryan Dungey, Cole Seeley) 250s 2023: Max Anstie (Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence) 2019: Chase Sexton (Mitchell Oldenburg, Justin Cooper) 2017: Zach Osborne (Dylan Ferrandis, Adam Cianciarulo) 2016: Malcolm Stewart (Martin Davalos, Jeremy Martin) 2015: Marvin Musquin (Justin Bogle, Joey Savatgy) Previews Philadelphia | Foxborough | Seattle | Birmingham | Indianapolis | Daytona | Arlington | Detroit | Tampa | Anaheim 2 | San Diego | Anaheim 1 More SuperMotocross News Robbie Wageman returns to racing Jorge Prado returns to training What riders said after Philadelphia Daxton Bennick suffers compression fracture Philadelphia Recap | 450 Results | 250 Results Benny Bloss renews with Beta Monster Energy SX video game features major upgrades Chase Sexton controls his SX fate Eli Tomac on May 2025 return
