Cooper Webb Answers Back to Win Pittsburgh Supercross Thriller – Tom Vialle Wins 250SX Class and Recaptures Points Lead

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb withstood heavy pressure to earn his fifth win of the 2025 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. The Pittsburgh Supercross victory helped secure Webb’s points lead with two rounds remaining on the season.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton had Webb in his sights for nearly every lap of the race, putting on two charges for the lead – both before and after a bobble that sent him off the track – but Sexton never got close enough to make a pass attempt. Sexton finished in second place, slowing his drive for the title after two consecutive wins at the previous rounds. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper followed up a heat race win with his second podium of the season. The Eastern Divisional 250SX Class delivered big thrills of its own with defending champion Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle taking over the lead in the closing minutes to earn his season-first win and take back the points lead. The victory marked the first time in the sport’s history that a divisional championship has delivered seven different winners.

First place 450SX Class

“[I felt] a little bit of everything, man. It’s been a heck of a fight, and a rough two weeks, especially last week. So, it was much needed tonight. It was an incredible main event. We were going for it and if I made one little mistake, I knew he was going to get me. So, you want to talk about pressure, that was a lot. I’m just stoked on myself to rebound after last week to pull the holeshot and lead every lap with that kind of pressure. Man, it’s not easy to do. I’m stoked for myself, and I’m stoked for my team. I want to give it up to them. We made a bike change this week that was awesome… Last weekend was pretty hard on me and it’s great to get back up here and get another win, get the ball rolling, obviously stop the momentum that Chase had a little bit. But he’s going to be firing. I know he’s a hellova competitor.” – Cooper Webb (#2 in photo), when asked what he was feeling after the win, whether it was exhaustion or relief.

Second place 450SX Class

“It was just hard. I knew I could skim [the whoops] for a little bit but I was using a lot of energy doing that. They’re really far apart, so just wasn’t getting too much drive and Cooper wasn’t losing too much time jumping. So, I went to the jump line, made one mistake and went off the track, but other than that I felt like I was pretty solid. Coop rode a really good race. I pressured him the whole time and he didn’t make a mistake. Every time I tried to push a little bit more, I’d make a mistake. It was a tough track. You couldn’t really push too hard and there wasn’t a whole lot of separation. He rode a great race and [I’ll] come back next weekend and try to do better, but it was a tough pill to swallow losing that race. But it is what it is, and we have two more.” – Chase Sexton, when asked about his decision to switch from blitzing the whoops to jumping through the whoops.

Third place 450SX Class

“I felt like I was riding better tonight all around. Obviously a really good heat race for me, and I just didn’t really adapt to the track as well as I needed to. Those guys were really pushing, and they kept pushing to the end, and they’re running a great pace that I just really couldn’t figure out towards the middle there. I made a little bit of a charge toward them, and then lost track of them; I was kind of just in no man’s land in third. Third’s good for me tonight, it was a really good day for me, so we’ll take all the positives from this. Just gotta give it up to the whole team… Let’s keep this going.” – Justin Cooper

The penultimate round of the Eastern Divisional 250SX Class Championship was a breathtaking race from start to finish. Tom Vialle took the win after an intense back-and-forth battle for the lead with Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Nate Thrasher, who led most of the race but had to settle for second at the end. Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Maximus Vohland battled Vialle early for second, and held on for his career-first podium finish. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire took over third place in the later half of the race, but then crashed trying to work around a lapped rider. Hampshire remounted quickly to remain ahead of fifth-place finisher Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker. Hammaker, who held the points lead before the gate dropped, had a dramatic ride after a poor start; he made contact with several riders and pulled off one amazing save to stay on two wheels in the early laps. From there he marched forward to salvage a fifth place. The division’s points now have the top three riders separated by only three points with one round remaining for the East division – the Dave Coombs Sr. 250SX Class East/West Showdown.

First place 250SX Class

“Coming into this round I pretty much had to win. And I delivered tonight so that feels really good. I had a pretty big crash in practice, I hit my head pretty bad, but we bounced back. This track was tough tonight, but I had some good lines for the main event and could make the pass at the end. This one feels good, and I’m lucky to have the chance to fight for the title in Salt Lake City.” – Tom Vialle

Second place 250SX Class

“I was close to a win there. I could taste it, I could feel it, and [it was] just one mistake, just like last weekend, that cost me. I feel like I’ve been able to win these last two and just haven’t been able to do it. But after my Atlanta crash a couple years ago my confidence just wasn’t the same in the whoops, and I’m glad to say I’m back. I feel great and that was my strength tonight. We’ll just keep chipping away and I think we’re going to be in contention in Salt Lake to get another win there. I’ve won there before so let’s go do it again.” – Nate Thrasher (#41 in photo)

Third place 250SX Class

“We’ve been putting in so much work at the facility and it’s been such a long road for me. I can’t believe that I got here this soon with the [right foot] injury and everything. Having to come out and figure out a new way to ride with a hand brake. I came here in Pittsburgh to play with the hand brake – and I just want to give it up to all these fans. You guys were awesome tonight… [This is the] first career podium for me tonight and I feel a huge weight off my shoulders and I’m hungry for more.” – Max Vohland, who adapted a hand brake to his motorcycle due to an injury to his right foot that diminished some of that foot’s sensitivity.

Fourth place 250SX Class

“It took me a little bit to get going and then there was just a lapper in the line. I jumped left and I just hooked a little bit too far left and – man, it’s tough. I put myself in a good position tonight and I threw it away. But I’ll praise Him in glory, and I’ll praise Him in defeat. We’re still in this thing, I just need to win in Salt Lake.” – RJ Hampshire

Fifth place 250SX Class

“It was going to come down to that last [round] reagardless, and now its just winner take all for sure. I just spun off the gate there, right when I went, on the grate, and just lost it from there. I had a sketchy first two laps, but we salvaged as good as we could. A fifth place was all we had tonight after that start. One point behind, we’ll take it to Salt Lake and see who’s crowned champion.” – Seth Hammaker

The SMX Next Class, which gives the top amateur racers a chance to compete on the world stage, wrapped up its Supercross season with winner-take-all SMX Next – Supercross AMA National Championship. Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Alexander Fedortsov crossed the holeshot stripe in fourth but quickly worked his way into the lead. Fedortsov had led in previous events but issues, including a flat tire while leading the Daytona Supercross, had kept him out of the winner’s circle. Fedortsov put in a strong and steady ride to capture the win when it counted most and became the 2025 SMX Next – Supercross AMA National Champion. Kawasaki Team Green’s Landen Gordon, with two wins on the season, moved steadily forward to capture second place in Pittsburgh. Kawasaki Team Green’s Enzo Temmerman, with one win in 2025, recovered from an eighth-place start to take the final spot on the podium.

SMX Next – Supercross AMA National Championship

“[It] feels insane. Honestly, I can’t believe I did it. I keep thinking about it, and it’s like I had a [lock on the win] every time, every time, and I keep losing, keep losing. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s something wrong with me or something… I just need to get it done.’ I had a great start, passed my teammate right away, and just checked out a little bit and had a really great race. I felt great on the track. No better place to do that, honestly. I’m so excited.” – Alexander Fedortsov

MONSTER ENERGY® KAWASAKI RIDERS PODIUM IN PITTSBURGH

WINNING WEEKEND FOR HART AND OLIVEIRA WITH FMF KTM FACTORY RACING

Defending AMA U.S. Hard Enduro Champion Trystan Hart returned to the top step of the podium in Round 5 of the 2025 season at the Battle of the Goats in North Carolina, on a weekend where FMF KTM Factory Racing teammate Dante Oliveira posted a wire-to-wire win at the Pala round of the 2025 National Grand Prix Championship (NGPC) in California.

U.S. HARD ENDURO SERIES – ROUND 5

Four-time U.S. Hard Enduro Champion Hart continues to race his way back into form following a broken collarbone that sidelined him for six weeks. The Battle of the Goats event is a particularly strong race for the number 1, having now claimed the top spot on five-consecutive occasions.

Holding the lead during Saturday’s qualifying session, a miscalculation relegated Hart to third position onboard his KTM 300 XC-W, as wet, slippery conditions greeted competitors for the first East Coast stop of the series this year.

In posting a solid performance during Sunday’s race, Hart battled to the top position overall, fending off challenges from the competition as he claimed a decisive victory, and now draws even atop the championship standings.

Trystan Hart: “It was a good day here in North Carolina. That’s my fifth-consecutive win here at Battle of the Goats – it was the first race that I won and since then, I haven’t lost. Ryder [LeBlond] and I really pushed the pace in the race, I felt like we were going super-fast! He was not going to get shaken off my rear tire in the last two laps, he was on it, but it’s good to get the win and get my season back on track.”

NATIONAL GRAND PRIX CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 5

The reigning five-time title-winner Oliveira charged to a clinical win at the fifth National Grand Prix Championship (NGPC) round of 2025 at Fox Raceway, withstanding pressure from behind as he maintained the lead throughout the 10-lap race.

After powering his KTM 450 XC-F to the lead on the opening lap, the defending number 1 held firm at the front of the field, capturing his fourth win of the season and extending his Pro Class points advantage with four rounds remaining.

Dante Oliveira: “I had a great day of racing, leading wire-to-wire in California! I had lots of pressure from second and third place all race long, but stayed strong and focused on putting myself and my KTM 450 XC-F in a steady flow throughout the race. Shoutout to my team and the WP Suspension crew for getting me comfortable and confident on Saturday to go out there and win on Sunday.”

FMF KTM Factory Racing teammate and younger brother Mateo Oliveira – the current AMA West Hare Scrambles (WHS) points leader – sat out the Pala round while recovering from a recent hand injury. He remains fifth in the NGPC standings.

PIVOTAL PITTSBURGH VICTORY SEES TOM VIALLE REGAIN 250SX EAST RED PLATE

A pivotal victory in the 250SX East Main Event at Pittsburgh has resulted in Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle regaining the red plate with just a single round remaining in the division, on a night where Chase Sexton kept the pressure on in 450SX with a solid second-place finish to complete Round 15 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship.

The defending 250SX East Class Champion Vialle opened his Pittsburgh weekend by recording the fourth-fastest qualifying time despite crashing heavily in the afternoon, before rebounding and racing to a fourth-place finish in his Heat Race onboard the KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.

An intense Main Event saw Vialle launch to a top-three start, before posting a calculated performance that saw the Frenchman strike for the lead during the latter stages of the race. From there, the number 1 would hold the lead and deliver a timely race win, now carrying a single-point series advantage into Salt Lake City.

Tom Vialle: “This race win was very important, I feel like I had to win [tonight] to have a chance at the championship in Salt Lake. I had a rough start to the day with a pretty big crash in practice, but overall, I got pretty lucky there. I felt great in the Main Event, the bike felt really good too, and after the start I knew that I had to make it happen tonight and thats what we did.”

Equipped with his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION, 450SX title challenger Sexton powered his way to the fastest qualifying time, dialing in what was a challenging Acrisure Stadium circuit that tested the world’s best Supercross riders.

In his Heat Race, Sexton launched to a top-three start and made his way into P2 with teammate Aaron Plessinger heading the field at the front. On a slick surface, Sexton would post a measured performance to earn third place as the checkered flag flew.

An epic fight in the Main Event would see the number 4 stalk the leader for the duration of the race after a strong start, riding to the limit of what the track conditions would allow. Following an intense duel over the course of the encounter, Sexton delivered a P2 result and currently sits 12 points from the 450SX lead with two rounds to go.

Chase Sexton: “It was a tough track tonight, I knew the start was going to be key, and Cooper [Webb] got off to a good one. From there I really needed to be mindful of how hard I pushed as it was easy to lose the rear-end in these conditions. I felt like I rode well, just couldn’t get close enough to make a pass, but I didn’t want to override the track – finding that limit was tough. It’s disappointing to lose this race tonight, but it was a dogfight and I gave it everything I had.”

Teammate Plessinger enjoyed success in his 450SX Heat Race, surging to a second-place result after scoring the holeshot and leading early onboard his KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION.

Later, in battling within the top-five throughout the Main Event, ‘The Cowboy’ would continue his impressive run of late-season form, crossing the finish line in fourth place to conclude his weekend in Pittsburgh. Plessinger is sixth in the standings following Round 15 of 17.

Aaron Plessinger: “Pittsburgh was a fun city and a very cool venue! It was a weird day for me. I felt really good in practice and then got off to an awesome start in the Heat Race. P2 in that one, which was pretty good, but it was a strange Main Event after getting off to an awesome start. On the first lap, I cased the big triple, and I think that threw me off a bit, took me a bit to get going. Around the halfway mark I came alive and managed to come back to fourth, so it’s a cool feeling to not give up on myself and rebound mid-race – we’ll take the speed into Denver and try to end this Supercross season with two more podiums!”

Consistent top-five scores for RJ Hampshire and Malcolm Stewart in Pittsburgh Supercross

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire kept his 250SX East Class title prospects alive with a fourth-place finish during Pittsburgh’s Main Event, as 450SX racer Malcolm Stewart posted a consistent fifth-place result at Round 15 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship.

Current 250SX West Champion Hampshire rode his Husqvarna FC 250 Factory Edition to the top of the qualifying timesheets at Acrisure Stadium, before carrying that momentum in his Heat Race by claiming a decisive victory.

Racing inside the top-five throughout the opening stages of the Main Event, Hampshire would climb toward the front around the midway mark, running as high as third-place and inching closer to the leaders. An incident while navigating through traffic, however, saw the number 24 go down, quickly remounting to a fourth-place ride and valuable championship points.

“I felt great today with qualifying P1 and then winning my Heat Race,” commented Hampshire.“I had a good Main Event going, put myself in a good position, and then made a small mistake with a few laps to go that really cost me. We’re leaving here three points down heading into the finale with a shot at winning this thing, so we’ll put our head down for two weeks and be ready to win in Salt Lake.”

For Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing teammate Malcolm Stewart, P3 in 450SX qualifying followed by a fourth-place result in his Heat Race marked a strong start to the weekend for the Florida native in Pittsburgh tonight equipped with the Husqvarna FC 450 Factory Edition.

Stewart would then push for the entirety of the 450SX Main Event, while staying consistent on what was a dry and highly track technical surface, making a final lap pass for fifth position as he continues to fight for P4 in the overall standings.

“Pittsburgh was very, very cool,” reflected Stewart. “We had a good race track tonight and I ended up P5, which was really good. I felt like I rode well and made the best out of what was a chaotic start to the race for me. I’m looking forward to Denver as it has always treated me well, and Salt Lake is also one of my favorites. It’s an emotional time for me now too, with the ‘Stewart 27’ documentary coming out tomorrow, so I’m really excited for everyone to see what myself and everybody involved have been working on!”

The SMX Next Class was also on the line in Pittsburgh for the category’s Supercross AMA National Championship race, where Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Landon Gibson raced to a convincing fourth-place result after a sequence of late race passes.

Ryder LeBlond finishes Battle of the Goats U.S. Hard Enduro with P2 result

Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Ryder LeBlond claimed a well-earned second-place finish during Round 5 of the 2025 U.S. Hard Enduro Series at the Battle of the Goats event in Taylorsville, North Carolina, this weekend.

U.S. Hard Enduro Series – Round 5

Equipped with the Husqvarna TE 300, LeBlond was up front throughout the entirety of the race weekend, capturing the win during Saturday’s qualifying encounter after making a decisive late-race pass for the lead.

Come the Main Race, LeBlond remained glued to the rear wheel of defending champion Trystan Hart, keeping the pressure on for the whole race to cross the finish line in second position. With his runner-up result, he now shares the series points lead five rounds into the season.

“Second place for me at Battle of the Goats!” reflected LeBlond. “I battled with Trystan a bunch today – it was a real fight – but ultimately he got the better of me, and he wears the number 1 for a reason. We’re getting a lot closer, though. The bike was great and I felt good, so we’re making big improvements, and we’re hungry for wins. We’ll keep at it!”

Webb Strengthens Championship Lead with a Win in Steel City

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb put in a championship ride in Pittsburgh, keeping cool under pressure to score a wire-to-wire victory at Round 15 of Monster Energy AMA Supercross at Acrisure Stadium. The red-plate holder’s fifth win of the season was a clutch victory, expanding his lead in the hotly contested 450SX Championship to 12 points with only two rounds remaining. Justin Cooper also enjoyed a successful outing at the new venue, crossing the line third to earn his third premier-class podium finish.

The sport of Supercross made its long-awaited return to Pittsburgh, and it was a packed house, despite another cold day for the final round of the East Coast swing. With rain leading up to the event, it was another abbreviated schedule during the day, with just two qualifying sessions. Webb hit the ground running, topping the timesheets in the first session and qualifying second in the combined times. In the heat race, he was third after the opening lap, and then shortly after, made his way to the runner-up spot, where he would finish. After the gate dropped for the main event, he grabbed the holeshot and set a strong pace up front. His title rival closed in and stayed on his heels, but Webb kept cool under pressure and rode on to his fifth victory of the season, scoring valuable points to expand his lead to 12 with two rounds remaining. It also maintained Yamaha’s perfect premier-class record at Pittsburgh Supercross, with the previous two runnings of the event being won by Bob Hannah in 1978 and Broc Glover in 1983.

Cooper qualified fifth and then built on that with a standout performance in his heat race. The 2021 250SX West Champion was third after the start and quickly made his way to the runner-up spot. He was shuffled back to third on the following lap, but kept pushing and around the halfway mark, made the pass for second after the split lane. Cooper closed the gap to the leader and once again made the pass after the split lane to claim the lead and earn his second heat race win of the season. In fifth after the opening lap of the main event, Cooper continued to fight. He claimed fourth on Lap 5 and then made the pass for the final podium spot on Lap 9, where he set the fastest lap of the race. The New Yorker tried to close the gap to the duo up front, but ultimately finished comfortably in third, securing a podium finish in the deteriorating conditions.

Next weekend, the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team heads west to Denver, Colorado, for the penultimate round of Monster Energy Yamaha AMA Supercross and Round 16 of the SuperMotocross World Championship at Empower Field at Mile High on May 3.

Rich Simmons – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 450 Team Manager
“It was a great day for the team. Qualifying went well for both guys, and we had good heat races. It was an amazing heat race from Justin Cooper. That’s what we see from him daily at The Farm, so it was nice to see it here. Then in the main event, he had the fastest lap of the race, which was great. We would’ve liked to see him get through Kenny (Roczen) and Aaron (Plessinger) a little faster and get to Chase (Sexton) to see what he could’ve done, but overall it was a great night for him. For Coop, there’s not much I can say. It was a clutch performance by him, and that’s just what he’s known for. I’m proud of the whole team. It was a big effort for everybody coming into this race, and we got it done. We’ll keep working and look forward to Denver.”

Cooper Webb – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #2
“Pittsburgh was an amazing day for me. I qualified first in the first session and got second in the next one. In the heat race, I finished second, and then in the main event, I executed well. I got the holeshot and led the whole thing. I had a heck of a lot of pressure from Chase (Sexton) and was able to get it done. It’s just huge from a momentum side to get another win, and to skew the points and give myself a little bit more breathing room. It was much needed, and we’ll head into Denver with a lot of confidence.”

Justin Cooper – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #32
“It was a really good day. I qualified fifth but really came out firing in the heat race. I felt like that’s the best I’ve ever ridden. I got a lot of compliments after that performance, and it just made me want to do the same in the main. I didn’t get the best of starts and got shuffled around a bit on the first lap. I was fifth or sixth and had a good battle with AP (Aaron Plessinger) and then went back and forth with Kenny (Roczen) for third. It took me a little bit to get to third, and once I did, I tried to latch on to those front two. I put in a bunch of good laps, but just really couldn’t close down on the gap much. So I was a little bit deflated, and I didn’t change up my lines once the track started getting rougher, so that hurt me a little bit. From there, I was kind of riding around in no man’s land in third, and just maintained it from there.”

Thrasher Returns to the Podium with Runner-Up Finish in Pittsburgh

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Nate Thrasher put in a good fight to score a runner-up finish as the series made its long-awaited return to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for Round 9 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX East Championship at Acrisure Stadium. Christian Craig came back from a difficult start in the 450SX Main Event to finish 14th.

The final round of the East Coast swing brought more rain, which resulted in an abbreviated schedule on race day with just two qualifying sessions at the new venue. Thrasher qualified sixth and was sixth after the start of his heat race. The Tennessee rider quickly went to work and made his way to fourth on the opening lap and then to third on Lap 3. In the final laps, he closed the gap to second but ran out of time and finished third. In the main event, Thrasher grabbed the holeshot and led for most of the race. With around four laps remaining, he was passed by the reigning champion. He countered back, but ultimately was shuffled to the runner-up spot, where he would finish. Thrasher’s second podium finish of the season advanced him to fourth in the 250SX East Championship as the Eastern Regional 250 class gets a weekend break before the final East-West Showdown at the series finale in Salt Lake City, Utah.

After qualifying 12th in the 450 class, Craig got a great start to his heat race in fourth, slotting in behind fellow Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider Cooper Webb. The Californian continued to battle but ultimately crossed the line seventh. In the main event, he did not get off the gate as he had hoped and found himself 16th on the opening lap. Craig continued to push in the tricky conditions and advanced to 13th with six laps to go, but would cross the line 14th.

Next weekend, the Western Regional 250 class returns to action for the penultimate round of Monster Energy AMA Supercross and the 16th round of the SuperMotocross World Championship at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, on May 3.

Jensen Hendler – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing 250 Team Manager
“All in all, it was a good night in Pittsburgh. Nate continued to make progress throughout the day, and had a good heat race and got a great start to the main event. He grabbed the holeshot, led most of the race, and finished second. He really wanted that win, but there were a lot of positives to take away, and we’ll get back to work over the break and come out swinging in Salt Lake. Christian got a great start in his heat race. He just unfortunately didn’t repeat it in the main, but we’ll get back to work and keep chipping away at it. Next weekend we’re back to the West Coast and are looking to finish these last two rounds strong and bring home the championship.”

Nate Thrasher – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #41 YZ250F
“It was a good night overall. I’m definitely a little bummed, but we gave it everything we had and can’t be mad about it. A couple of mistakes cost us tonight. So I’ve just got to clean that up and be a little bit better. Overall, my riding’s pretty good. We have a little bit left to work on, but we’re in a better spot than we were a couple of weeks ago, so I’m happy with that. We’ll go back to work and try to be better for Salt Lake.”

Christian Craig – Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing #28 YZ450F
“It was fun racing in Pittsburgh. I felt pretty good all day, but a bad start in the main made it hard for me to do much. I know I’m a lot better than my results. We’re going to keep working to finish the last two rounds on a high note.”

Chance Hymas Leads Red Riders With Sixth at Pittsburgh Supercross

Round 15 of the AMA Supercross series took place in Pittsburgh, with Honda HRC Progressive’s Dean Wilson and Chance Hymas delivering respectable performances. Wilson posted another top-10 result in the 450SX class, while Hymas led the Red Rider effort in the 250SX East action with a sixth-place result.

In the 250SX main event, Hymas got a solid jump aboard his factory CRF250RWE and settled into sixth place early on. He quickly advanced a spot and spent a good portion of the race in fifth before slipping back to sixth on lap 13 and finishing out the race there. Phoenix Racing Honda’s Cullin Park continued his strong run with a seventh-place result, followed by Storm Lake Honda Buddy Brooks Racing’s Henry Miller in eighth. Storm Lake Honda’s Izaih Clark crossed the line in 11^th, with Next Level Redline Oil Hammer Nutrition’s Justin Rodbell in 13^th, TiLube Honda’s Trevor Colip in 14^th, SPR’s Lance Kobusch in 16^th, and Neese Racing’s Luke Neese completing the group in 22^nd.

Although Jett and Hunter Lawrence remain sidelined from racing as they recover from surgeries, both are back on the bike training. The brothers attended the Pittsburgh event, where they signed autographs, engaged with fans and supported the team throughout the weekend. Additionally, Hunter stepped into the booth to call the 250SX main event.
Mosites Motorsports, a popular powersports dealer with two locations in Pennsylvania, set up a pop-up activation booth in the Honda HRC Progressive pits, where they displayed a Honda Ruckus and a CRF450RWE, and engaged with fans and customers.
Honda HRC Progressive was treated to a team dinner at Dee Jay’s BBQ Ribs & Grille – Collier, hosted by longtime friends of the team Jamie and Kayla Irvine and Jay Winter.

SUZUKI’S KEN ROCZEN REACHES THIRD ON ALL-TIME 450SX CLASS HEAT RACE WINS LIST

It had been 42 years since the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship visited Pittsburgh, and Acrisure Stadium was packed and loud with wildly enthusiastic race fans. Heavy rains the night prior impacted the practice schedule with the elimination of the first free practice, but the weather and track were in excellent condition when the starting gate dropped for the Pittsburgh Supercross.

Race Highlights:

Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki
- 450 Class
  - Ken Roczen won his heat race and took sole possession of third place on the all-time premier class heat race wins.
Twisted Tea Suzuki Presented by Progressive Insurance
- 450 Class
  - Colt Nichols used another strong ride to advance one position in the championship point standings.
  - Kyle Chisholm also used Pittsburgh Supercross points to move up in the point standings.

Though he is nursing two separate injuries, one to his shoulder and one to his ankle, Ken Roczen (94) was on a great pace from the first gate drop. Roczen took over the heat race lead before the second corner and never relinquished it. In the main event, Roczen was on the move early, charging from eighth to fifth before the first lap was completed. He put his Suzuki RM-Z450’s strong torque and precise handling to good use and picked off two more riders; that put him into third place. Roczen held third for much of the first half of the race, then surrendered a couple positions. On the final lap Roczen held fifth with the fourth-place rider right ahead and the sixth-place rider right behind. Roczen took the left side in the option lane to make a run for fourth, but the rider behind him made contact and pushed him over the berm. Roczen kept it on two wheels and rode it to the finish. Roczen maintains third in the championship chase heading into the final two rounds.

“It was really cool coming here to Pittsburgh. The stadium was super packed, and the fans were going crazy,” said Roczen. “We’ve just been trying our best on the weekends. The last two weeks have been really tough and I’m definitely not at my best right now. I need some time to heal and get back to peak performance, so right now it’s been a bit rough. I’m really trying to go in the beginning, and the whoops were super tough tonight. I almost ended myself in those and decided to start jumping them. It wasn’t necessarily the fastest, but I was trying to hang in there. We were riding in third and fourth for quite some time, and I just made a couple of mistakes throughout the race. Another rider and I got together in the end, too. Right now, we’re just maintaining. It’s unfortunate that the results are not there, but we have a couple to go, and we just want to stay on two wheels and do our best to stay in the game.”

Colt Nichols (45) turned a mid-pack start into a direct transfer position in his heat race. It was the second time in two weeks that all three Suzuki riders were seeded into the same heat race, and all transferred directly to the main. In the main event, Nichols used his RM-Z 450’s horsepower to charge to a strong start. After some early shuffling in the tight pack, Nichols battled just outside of the top ten for much of the Pittsburgh main event.

“I actually was in the fight at the first part of the race,” stated Nichols. “I came out of the gate much better in the main event and rode well for the first bit of the main. I got a little bit tight, made some mistakes, and went a little bit backwards but overall, it was a better night in a lot of ways for the main event. I finished P-12 so there’s still a lot of work to do, a lot of things to improve, but I’m taking the positives from tonight and going into Denver excited for the last two rounds.”

Kyle Chisholm (11) battled inside of the transfer positions throughout the heat race to earn a direct transfer in the main. Chisholm had a tall order after a 20th place start in the main event, but he ticked off laps and earned spots. When the checkered flag flew Chisholm had gained enough points to move his Twisted Tea Suzuki up one spot in the point standings.

“We had a bunch of rain overnight, so we had a shortened day again. It’s kind of the theme here up in the Northeast with these races,” said Chisholm. “It turned out to be a pretty dry racetrack. I just never really felt as good as I wanted to out there today. It wasn’t my best stuff. I wish I was a little bit better, I’m trying to do my best, but it just wasn’t my best… I want to be up close to the top 10 and I’ve got two more rounds to do it. We’ll go back to work this week and try to finish out these last two strong.”

“We got lucky with the weather, that’s for sure,” started Larry Brooks, Twisted Tea/H.E.P. Motorsports/Suzuki presented by Progressive Insurance Team Manager. “Ken Roczen finished sixth, Colt Nichols finished 12th, and Kyle Chisholm finished 16th. So, we had three guys in the main event again, but we’re still struggling with some injuries and trying to get the best results we can… Ken won his heat, which was really good, and Colt and Kyle both qualified straight out of that heat race, so it was a good night. We have two more races after this. Denver’s next weekend and we’re just going to keep grinding away.”

With only two rounds remaining in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship, the Suzuki riders and team members are intensely focused on the next round at Empower Field at Mile High, in Denver, Colorado, and then the finale one week later at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. It’s been a dramatic and satisfying season, including one main event victory, and Suzuki is excited to execute more strong performances at the final rounds.

Bauman Does It Again, Tadman Stuns in Epic Ventura Short Track

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (April 26, 2025) – It took the Harley-Davidson XG750R more than eight Progressive American Flat Track seasons, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, to at last earn its maiden Mission AFT SuperTwins victory. It took just one more race to get its second. Both wins came courtesy of two-time Grand National Champion Briar Bauman (No. 3 RWR/Parts Plus/Latus Motors Harley-Davidson XG750R), who was again in spectacular form at Ventura Raceway en route to a second consecutive victory in the Memphis Shades Ventura Short Track presented by Law Tigers.

While Bauman ended the night in glory, the spotlight panned back and forth throughout the day. Dallas Daniels (No. 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) held the upper hand for the bulk of the event with his stiffest challenge arguably coming from Suzuki-mounted Dan Bromley (No. 62 Memphis Shades/Vinson Construction Suzuki GSX-8S), who actually came out on top of the Mission #2Fast2Tasty Challenge.

Meanwhile, the likes of Max Whale (No. 18 Moto Anatomy X Powered by Royal Enfield 650), Logan McGrane (No. 14 Schaeffer’s Motorsports/Rick Canode KTM 790 Duke), and James Ott (No. 19 G&G Racing Yamaha MT-07) jockeyed for podium positions in the early going of the Main after Daniels took the holeshot, but the genuine shape of the race would quickly be made evident.

Despite demonstrating largely pedestrian speed in the lead-up to the Main, once there Bauman pounced on Daniels in the opening handful of laps. While the Estenson Racing star attempted to work out a way in which to counter, he also had to contend with the charging Jarod VanDerKooi (No. 20 Fastrack Racing/Wally Brown Racing KTM 790 Duke), who powered his way into third where he set his sights past Daniels and on Bauman.

A red flag provided both Daniels and VanDerKooi with a second chance at corralling Bauman, but neither were able to take advantage. Little changed after the restart, and the checkered flag eventually saw Bauman sail by with a 0.881-second margin of victory, while Daniels came out on top of a seesawing fight with VanDerKooi for second.

Brandon Robinson (No. 44 Mission Roof Systems Harley-Davidson XG750R) found his way into contention as he so often does to claim fourth, while Bromley closed out a standout day with a top-five Main Event showing.

Whale was also rewarded with a strong sixth, while Davis Fisher (No. 67 Rackley Racing/Bob Lanphere’s BMC Racing KTM 790 Duke), Ott, Trent Lowe (No. 48 American Honda/Progressive Insurance Honda Transalp), and McGrane rounded out the top ten.

Bauman’s back-to-back victories not only put him level with Daniels in terms of wins on the season, it also catapulted him past the preseason title rival favorite in the early-season championship chase (84-81).

Bauman said, “I’m just proud of everyone on this Rick Ware Racing team. We’re just digging on this thing. I don’t know if it’s a renaissance or a fairy tale, but we’re just doing our thing. I’m still so green on the bike – and when I show up and qualify ninth or tenth or whatever it was – it’s tough to think (that we’re the championship favorite). 

“We’re still putting one foot in front of the other, and Dallas has an incredible motorcycle and he’s an incredible racer. He’s got an insane team, and right now I think he’s going to win this championship. He’s heir to the throne, but I have worn the crown a few times, and I’m going to do my job and try to get it back.”

AFT Singles presented by KICKER

The AFT Singles presented by KICKER class has a long and illustrious history of generating new stars for the sport. And yet, it has perhaps never done so as immediately nor so convincingly as it did on Saturday night at Ventura Raceway.

Making his professional debut on the evening, Kage Tadman (No. 288 Old Oak Ranch/Roof Systems KTM 450 SX-F) came in with the admirable goal of simply making the Main Event.

Remarkably, the 17-year-old Californian managed to accomplish that goal by setting the pace in qualifying, winning his heat, taking top honors in AFT Singles 1st Impressions Challenge, and then dominating the Main Event. And he did it all in extreme style, running an ultra-wide line throughout with his front and rear wheels appearing desperate to break free of his control all the while.

Chase Saathoff (No. 88 RWR/Parts Plus Honda CRF450R), who carried the momentum of his first-career Short Track win into Ventura Raceway, did everything in his power to prevent Tadman from pulling off the stunner. 

The RWR ace combated Tadman’s wide and wild line with a more controlled and conservative inside tour of the beach-side circuit. That strategy allowed Saathoff to make the occasional inroad, but Tadman’s sheer pace ultimately proved too much as the rookie pulled to a near one-second margin of victory to open his career with a perfect 100% winning percentage.

He said, “It all starts in practice. I felt really good in practice. I knew there were a few things we needed to work on to get a little bit quicker. After practice, qualifying rolled around and we did super well there, and then heats, dash, and especially the Main… this is a dream night. I would never have thought this could have happened in my rookie debut.”

Tarren Santero (No. 75 Mission Roof Systems Honda CRF450R) made it two Californians on the podium in third. Santero, who was in need of a strong result after getting his ‘25 campaign off to a slower-than-anticipated start, worked his way past and then shook free of points leader Tom Drane (No. 59 Estenson Racing Yamaha YZ450F) to grab his second career AFT Singles top three.

And thus the Australian’s record-setting podium streak came to an end at nine with his fourth-place finish. However, it was good enough to maintain his place atop the championship order, albeit by a slim two-point margin over rival Saathoff (68-66).

Trevor Brunner (No. 21 American Honda/Mission Foods CRF450R) completed the top five after battling with the hungry Jared Lowe (No. 63 Big R/Little Debbie Racing Honda CRF450R) and Aidan RoosEvans (No. 26 FRA Trust/ATV’s and More Yamaha YZ450F).

Justin Anselmi (No. 15 Leblanc Family Farms Yamaha YZ450F), Evan Renshaw (No. 65 1st Impressions Race Team Husqvarna FC450), and Reece Pottorf (No. 46 Diamond Auto Body Honda CRF450R) completed the top ten.

Earlier in the evening, Madicela Rodriguez (No. 113 Royal Enfield/Parts Unlimited) held off  a charging Emma Gottsch (No. 5 Royal Enfield/Parts Unlimited) to secure her first-career Royal Enfield Build. Train. Race. Main Event victory. Taia Little (No. 11 Royal Enfield/Parts Unlimited) grabbed the final spot on the podium.

Alexander Fedortsov Claims 2025 SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship

The American Motorcyclist Association congratulates Alexander Fedortsov of Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha, who claimed the 2025 SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship on Saturday, April 26, in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“It was a terrific season of SMX Next racing, and Alexander Fedortsov proved that he is one of the brightest up-and-comers in our sport with the way he raced in Pittsburgh,” AMA Director of Racing Mike Pelletier said. “Congratulations to Alexander, and we cannot wait to see how his AMA Supercross career pans out going forward.”

Fedortsov held off a fierce pursuit from Kawasaki Team Green’s Landen Gordon and Enzo Temmerman to ascend to the top of the podium and claim the AMA National No. 1 plate.

Fedortsov’s quest to the SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship was a story of perseverance. The Hallandale, Fla., native battled bad luck across the four qualifying events, where he held leads in multiple races. While in the front of the pack in Daytona Beach, Fla., on March 1, Fedortsov sustained a flat tire, ending his chances for a major win.

But, on Saturday in Pittsburgh, Fedortsov was untouchable. Despite crossing the holeshot stripe in fourth place, he dashed to the front of the pack and produced a clean race to claim the ultimate crown and AMA National No. 1 plate.

“[It] feels insane. Honestly, I can’t believe I did it. I keep thinking about it, and it’s like I had a [lock on the win] every time, and I kept losing. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s something wrong with me or something… I just needed to get it done,’” Fedortsov said. “I had a great start, passed my teammate right away, and just checked out a little bit and had a really great race. I felt great on the track. No better place to do that, honestly. I’m so excited.”

While the SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship concluded in Pittsburgh, there are still two rounds left of the 2025 AMA Supercross season. With all three title races still left to be decided, you’re not going to want to miss any of the action.
