450 CLASS: TWO MOTOS

WHY TWO MOTOS TO DETERMINE THE OVERALL WINNER?

In the sport’s early days, equipment quality was shaky at best. With frequent crashes and the sport’s general rough nature, bikes were frequently unable to finish. Fans who wanted to see a particular rider wouldn’t appreciate his race ending just a few minutes in, so organizers implemented the two-moto format you see today

Only the top 21 riders (of 40) earn points. Points from both motos are tallied to determine the overall class winner. Ties are broken according to the higher Moto 2 finish. Total points earned will also determine the championship at the end of the season

UNDERSTANDING THE FORMAT

WHY ARE THERE MULTIPLE MORNING PRACTICE SESSIONS?

National classes are limited to 40 riders, but that lineup is chosen from many more entrants. While practice sessions are an opportunity for riders to learn the track and make adjustments between sessions, they also serve as qualifiers for the main event (Moto 1 and Moto 2). Practice sessions also determine gate pick—a vital component of a good start. The fastest lap time from practice gets first gate pick, second-fastest gets second pick, and so on. The loading order for Moto 2 is determined by Moto 1’s results.

OF THE FIELD

HOW DO RACES GET UNDERWAY?

Prior to the start of a race, competitors line up behind a long metal gate that’s attached to the ground with hinges. The gate is pointed upward and falls backward, toward the racers, to begin the race. Any rider who attempts to start too soon will get stuck while the rest of the pack rockets toward the first turn.

HOW LONG DO RACES LAST?

A clock counts down from 30 minutes when the gate drops. When those 30 minutes have elapsed, racers complete two additional laps. Two races are run for each class, with one overall winner per class.

WHAT IS

THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A NATIONAL AND THE PRO MOTOCROSS CHAMPIONSHIP?

The word national refers to a single event. Pro Motocross Championship refers to a group of nationals held across the United States. Points are earned at each national based on finishing position, and the rider with the most points at the end of the season becomes the national champion in that particular class.

BREAKING DOWN THE FLAGS

GREEN

The green flag signifies the start of the race or timed qualifying session

YELLOW

A yellow flag on the track means there is danger ahead. Riders should exercise caution when a yellow flag is displayed, but passing and jumping are allowed

BLUE WITH YELLOW STRIPE

This lets riders know they are about to be passed by the leaders. The blue flag is placed throughout the racetrack as a courtesy to the riders. Riders who are being passed by the leaders need to hold their current line and not impede the leaders. Once the leaders have passed, the rider may continue to race, but not race with the leaders.

WHITE WITH RED MARKINGS

The “Wheels on the Ground” flag is displayed at blind jumps or other dangerous areas on the track. It indicates that no jumping or passing is allowed until the rider has safely passed

THE PHYSICAL DEMANDS

WHY DO THE RIDERS SEEM SO EXHAUSTED AFTER A RACE? DOESN’T THE ENGINE DO ALL THE WORK?

Motorcycle engines are extremely powerful—just holding on to the bike can be tiring—but they only move the bike forward. Riders constantly make rapid corrections and line changes, all while rushing forward on an extremely rough and choppy racing surface. Riders shift from sitting to standing throughout a lap; add frequent triple-digit heat and stifling humidity, and you’ve got a physical challenge that only the fittest athletes can endure.

the area of concern. Should a rider jump or pass another competitor in this section, they will be penalized

BLACK

A rider receiving the black flag must pull off the racetrack and see the race director or designee to find out what the problem is. The race director will determine whether the rider can continue in that race or timed qualifying session.

RED

The race or timed qualifying session has been stopped, and riders must report back to the staging area to await further instruction

WHITE

One lap remains.

CHECKERED

The race or timed qualifying session is over. Riders will leave the racetrack at the designated track exit.

TALK THE TALK MOTO LINGO

At the races, you’re likely to hear lingo that’s specific to Pro Motocross. We’ll explain the most common terms so you can hold your own alongside even the most seasoned fans

MOTO

Each class races twice to determine an overall winner. Each individual race is referred to as a moto.

HOLESHOT

Getting the holeshot means being the first rider to the first turn (there’s a painted line to determine the exact spot) at the start of the race. It’s a huge advantage; you’ll rarely see a racer win after starting from the very back

LINE

The specific path a rider chooses through a section of the track. Some sections have multiple lines that are equally fast, while others have one option that is clearly optimal

OFF-CAMBER TURN

A turn that is banked in the opposite direction—for example, a right-hand turn on a surface that slants to the left. It’s easy to lose traction here, making these turns more difficult to navigate quickly.

WHISKEY THROTTLE

When a rider accidentally applies too much throttle, usually due to fatigue or an unseen obstacle. The result is normally a bike that jumps forward and lifts the front unpredictably

PROFESSIONAL RANKS

WHO IS ALLOWED TO RACE?

For the safety of all involved, only licensed professionals and qualified pro-ams are allowed to race in the Pro Motocross Championship. Pro racing licenses are obtained by accumulating points in specific amateur races designated by the AMA, and even the riders competing at that level have logged thousands of hours of seat time across hundreds of races.

ARE THESE THE SAME BIKES I CAN BUY AT A DEALERSHIP?

Yes and no. In 1986, the AMA passed the Production Rule, which requires bikes to use the same major parts— frames, crankcases, engines, swingarms, etc.—that come standard on new bikes available to the public. Aside from

HISTORY LESSON

HAS MOTOCROSS ALWAYS BEEN BIG IN AMERICA?

Europeans dominated the sport’s early days, when Europe’s Grand Prix series hosted the world’s top talent. In 1982, “Bad” Brad Lackey became America’s first World Motocross Champion when he clinched the 500cc Grand Prix

that, every bike you see today has most likely been heavily modified using exotic materials to make it faster, lighter, and better-handling. They’re also highly customized to fit a rider’s specific needs and preferences. Just how much a bike is modified depends on the rider’s preference or team’s budget.

WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR BREAKING THE SERIES RULES?

From technical standards to on- and off-track conduct, Pro Motocross implements rules to ensure safe and fair racing. AMA officials investigate and evaluate any violations and hand down penalties ranging from simple warnings and small fines to disqualification and suspension, based on the severity of the transgression.

Championship. Fellow American Danny LaPorte backed up Lackey’s success two weeks later, taking the 250cc GP Championship. The monumental victories shifted the global balance of power; since then, Pro Motocross has been the center of the sport’s universe. The best racers now view America as the ultimate motocross proving ground.

TALK THE TALK

MOTO LINGO

ENDO

A crash in which a bike tumbles forward end over end

BERM

A banked and built-up turn that allows riders to maintain more corner speed RUTS

Grooves that form over time as bikes pass over the same ground repeatedly. As ruts develop in turns, racers often use them as small berms

WHOOPS

Large, manmade bumps in the track that are usually evenly spaced and of equal height. Riders often try to skim over the tops.

KICKER JUMP

A jump with an uneven surface that can kick riders higher in the air than a smoother takeoff can. Endos are more common on these jumps

WHIP

A move in which a rider changes the direction or lean angle of the bike in midair. Riders perform whips to maintain better speed over an obstacle, to set up for the following corner, or just for fun. SCRUB

An advanced form of a whip that allows riders to stay low over jumps and maintain higher speeds. It’s extremely impressive when done properly, but it can be risky. Some riders can clear long jumps with their bike completely flat and just inches above the ground

GETTING THE DIGITS

HOW ARE RACE NUMBERS ASSIGNED?

The number you see on a racer’s motorcycle is based on their previous year’s performance. The champion always

wears #1, and numbers 10 to 99 are assigned according to combined motocross and supercross points in the previous season. A lower number signifies more points earned, with three-digit numbers reserved for riders who did not score enough points to be ranked within the nation’s top 99. Of course, there are exceptions. Past champions are allowed (but not required) to pick a single-digit number, provided nobody else has claimed it. Riders in the previous year’s top ten can choose any two-digit number as a permanent number, as long as it’s available. To retain their chosen numbers, riders must earn at least 25 points per year.

FACTORY RIDERS VS. PRIVATEERS

SOME RIDERS ARE WORKING OUT OF VANS AND PICKUP TRUCKS WHILE OTHERS ARE PITTED OUT OF BIG SEMIS. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

The difference is not always black-andwhite, but Pro Motocross competitors can be divided into two groups: selfsupported (privateers) and factorysupported. Factory riders are the upper echelon; they earn salaries and are provided with bikes, transportation, a mechanic, and most other necessities.

Since semis are usually only financially accessible to factory efforts (and a few well-funded privateer teams), these riders are typically the only ones who enjoy this luxury.

Racers pitted out of vans, pickup trucks, and trailers are usually striving to earn a factory position—they’re the privateers, the backbone of our sport. They likely have smaller sponsorships in the form of gear, parts, and/ or discounts but usually bear the large financial burden of racing (travel, bike maintenance, etc.) themselves.

BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBER PLATES

The founder of Arai Helmet was the man who created the first motorcycle helmet in Japan to protect his own head, and as a result, launched the Japanese motorcycle helmet industry.

Arai continues to pursue gains in higher levels of protection, using the harsh reality that the helmets are made for as a source of inspiration.

SUZUKI INTELLIGENT RIDE SYSTEM (S.I.R.S.)

Advanced rider aids, including multiple power modes and adjustable Traction Control with Gravel Mode and TC OFF.

FULLY-ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

New KYB components improve handling for strong performance on all types of terrain.

SWITCHABLE ABS

The first Suzuki production model that lets you turn front and rear ABS OFF for varying riding surfaces.

What happens when a legend is updated for the modern world? It changes what you’ll expect from a DualSport motorcycle. With all-around advancements and a relaxed, natural riding feel, the all-new 2025 DR-Z4S is READY 4 ANYTHING.

ALL-NEW CHASSIS

New twin-spar frame and detachable aluminum subframe improve chassis rigidity.

PATHS OF GLORY

Mapping out the many routes taken to the top of the SuperMotocross world.

WORDS: DAVEY COOMBS

THE JOURNEY TO the top of any sport has multiple career paths athletes can follow. Some are tried-and-true routes; others are less direct and more difficult. All require passion, talent, strong support, and usually a lucky break or two.

In professional motocross and supercross racing, the path to the top almost always begins on minicycles, with families going to local tracks found in every region of the country, where young riders can hone their skills. If a kid shows promise, the family can start traveling to bigger regional and national competitions. There is a busy schedule of youth and amateur events, with the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Tennessee as its centerpiece. This tour includes weeklong races like the JS7 Spring Championship and the Moto Playground race known as Spring-A-Ding-Ding, both in Texas, Mammoth Mountain in California, Ponca City MX in Oklahoma, the THOR Mini O’s in Florida, and more. These events offer classes for all ages and skill sets and give young riders

a chance to see how they stack up against the best in the country and maybe catch the eye of support programs like Kawasaki Team Green, Suzuki’s RM Army, KTM’s Orange Brigade, or any of the manufacturers’ systems.

More recently, there has been the development of programs at both Monster Energy Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross that showcase young talent on the biggest stages in the sport. Collectively known as SMX Next, these supercross races and Pro Motocross Combines offer both competition and instruction to the next generation of top stars. Among the recent graduates of SMX Next are current factory riders and teenage superstars like Ryder DiFrancesco, Cole Davies, Julien Beaumer, and Daxton Bennick.

And then there’s Haiden Deegan, now the #1 250 rider in Pro Motocross and SMX. He started the 2023 season as an SMX Next participant and developed rapidly into a multi-time champion. Deegan, the son

Future superstars as kids, many at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, include Cooper Webb (75 and top inset), Haiden Deegan (38), Ryan Villopoto (15), Ryan Dungey (with medal), and Eli Tomac (43).

CUDBY
FREDRICKSON

With its multiple tracks, workstations, and living quarters, the ClubMX campus and training facility in Chesterfield, SC, has become a popular destination for aspiring racers and their families.

of freestyle motocross legend Brian Deegan, practically grew up in the spotlight on the family’s YouTube channel “The Deegans.” They also moved from California to North Carolina while Haiden was still a minicycle racer, then moved to Tallahassee, Florida, to be near the new Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing team facility. As a result, Deegan’s regular riding and training partners include veterans Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, and Christian Craig, as well as friendly rivals Davies, Bennick, and more.

Deegan hails from California, which has long been the epicenter of the dirt bike industry and home to the vast majority of superstars from the early days of the sport in this country—the seventies— through Jeremy McGrath’s reign in the nineties. That all began to change when Ricky Carmichael took over from McGrath as the sport’s

preeminent talent in the early 2000s. Carmichael decided to stay home in Florida and ride and train by himself there at a private facility above Tallahassee that came to be called The Farm. It was far from the hustle and bustle of Southern California, which was losing places to ride due to suburban expansion, and Carmichael was so successful—he’s called the GOAT as in “greatest of all time”—that others started following suit, flipping the map to create a more popular route to the top that ran through the southeast rather than the Golden State.

That’s not to say that a rider can’t hail from pretty much anywhere and eventually become a champion. Multi-time champion Eli Tomac hails from tiny Cortez, Colorado, and still does much of his training there. Longtime rivals and all-time greats Ryan Villopoto and Ryan Dungey hailed from Washington and

Minnesota, respectively. The last premier-class champion in SMX or Pro MX who hailed from California was Jeremy McGrath in 2000!

Looking at the current crop of top riders in SMX, they come from all over the world, and they have taken many different routes to the top. For instance, Red Bull KTM’s Tom Vialle is a second-generation racer from France. His father, Frederic, was one of his country’s top Grand Prix riders in the nineties. Vialle spent the first couple of years of his professional career racing around Europe, winning two FIM Motocross World Championships before going all-in on a move to America in 2023.

Vialle’s older teammate, Aaron Plessinger, who hails from Ohio, is also the son of a top motorcycle racer, but he wasn’t a motocrosser. Rather, Scott Plessinger is an AMA Hall of Fame off-road champion. Recently both Vialle and Plessinger relocated to central Florida, where they work and train with Aldon Baker, Ricky Carmichael’s longtime trainer. His Baker’s Factory is where most of the KTM North America Group’s riders are set up, including the Rockstar Husqvarna team and GasGas. It’s also where the defending 450 Pro Motocross Champion Chase Sexton does his riding and training now.

Sexton’s route to the top was a more traditional one. He grew up in Illinois racing all over the Midwest, as well as in the major amateur

events. The same goes for Cooper Webb, who grew up in North Carolina and was a prolific youth and amateur racer. Webb’s central location gave him proximity to races up and down the Atlantic Coast. It’s from all those races that Webb developed the “race craft” that’s become his calling card. As for Sexton, he was signed to a development deal with Factory Connection Honda, the brand’s youth and amateur team. That program helped graduate numerous talents to the professional ranks, including future champions Tomac, Trey Canard, Justin Barcia, Zach Osborne, and more recently Jett and Hunter Lawrence.

And speaking of the Lawrence brothers, their path in SMX took them on a very long journey around the moto world. After growing up racing in Australia and showing some real potential, the family moved to Europe when Hunter was old enough to race on the Grand Prix circuit and Jett was still on 65cc minicycles. They wound up living in the same house in Germany that Ken Roczen grew up in and received mentoring from Roczen’s father. In 2018, Hunter was offered a ride in America with Factory Connection Honda; Jett was offered an amateur development deal as a bonus. Seven years later, each of the Lawrences have won both 250SX and Pro Motocross titles, and Jett also has a Monster Energy Supercross title and two

(Top) Chase Sexton parlayed good results as a Midwest minicycle racer into a development deal with Factory Connection Honda, as did young Jett Lawrence (right and below). However, he grew up racing in Australia and then Europe before moving to the U.S.

Chase Sexton Red Bull KTM Factory Racing

SMX World Championships. They live in Florida now and do their training at a facility they purchased from Chad Reed, the multi-time SX/MX Champion from Australia who also ended up in the U.S. by way of Europe back in 2002.

Speaking of riding facilities, they have become a crucial element of the sport. Beginning with former professional Davi Millsaps’ namesake, Millsaps Training Facility, they have proliferated since 2000, with many former pro riders opening similar properties, including Kevin Windham’s Farm 14 in Mississippi, Robbie Reynard’s Reynard Training Complex in Oklahoma, and the Georgia Practice Facility currently owned by Josh Woods. These facilities offer aspiring racers year-round riding opportunities, private lessons, coaching, and more.

Another former pro, Georgia’s Matt Walker, opened his own Moto X Compound and then sold it to Triumph Factory Racing after the British brand decided to enter the SMX space. Current factory riders Jalek Swoll, Austin Forkner, and Jordon Smith are all based there, as well as Danish rider Mikkel Haarup, who is new to the team for this summer’s 250 Pro Motocross Championship.

And then there is ClubMX in Chesterfield, South Carolina, which may be the most unique facility/development program of all. The brainchild of Brandon Haas, a lifelong moto enthusiast and fitness expert, as well as future

multi-time SX/MX Champion Zach Osborne—ground was broken on the all-inclusive, 200-acre facility in 2009. It’s fully staffed with coaches, trainers, mechanics, grounds crew, a nutritionist, a mental skills specialist, and just about any other asset that might benefit a young rider. ClubMX is open year-round and offers no less than 10 motocross and supercross tracks, plus workshops, a clubhouse, a fitness center, motorhome hookups, homes to rent or purchase, and more. They also have an amateur motocross team and a professional SMX squad and are now delving into offroad as well. Modeled after a college football program, ClubMX is a training facility that is practically a moto campus now, and growing, as some 60 athletes base their programs there now.

As for that first training facility, the one where Carmichael minted all those championships and race wins, it’s going stronger than ever, despite the fact that the GOAT retired in 2007. The Farm has a different owner now, as Yamaha Star Racing bought the place and built its own state-of-the-art workshop. The land where Carmichael once did his work alone is now abuzz with the Yamahas of Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, Haiden Deegan, Cole Davies, Max Anstie, and many more. Carmichael’s old Farm might be in the middle of nowhere, but it’s now arguably the center of the SMX world.

French import Tom Vialle (1) and Hunter Lawrence (96) both had international success before moving here. Germany’s Ken Roczen (far right) first came to Loretta Lynn’s. Ohio’s Aaron Plessinger (17) grew up racing GNCC. (Bottom right) Yamaha Star Racing now occupies Ricky Carmichael’s Farm above Tallahassee, Florida.

SUPER STACKED

A bumpy Monster Energy Supercross campaign paves the way for an all-time summer of Pro Motocross.

THE BRIGHT LIGHTS and shiny stadiums of Monster Energy Supercross have always been a draw for the top athletes on dirt bikes, but every one of them grew up racing motocross, and this year moto will become the focal point. A 2025 season that started with so much promise in the stadiums was quickly filled with huge injuries to major stars.

The likes of Cooper Webb and Chase Sexton upheld the drama with an amazing title fight, but a lot of competitors spent months on the sidelines, rehabbing with a focus on salvaging a championship season through motocross. It could lead to one of the toughest titles ever won in the sport. This year, it’s a high watermark for moto.

WORDS: JASON WEIGANDT

Main: Jett Lawrence’s assault on the sport has stalled with injury. Is Pro Motocross the place to re-establish dominance? Clockwise: Hunter Lawrence (96) was a revelation as a 450 rookie in ’24. Jason Anderson returns with a new teammate in MXGP World Champion Jorge Prado. Aaron Plessinger and Malcolm Stewart won’t want to get pushed off the podium by the others.

At the end of the 2023 season, it appeared a new era had dawned in motocross, punctuated by Jett Lawrence’s incredible perfect season as a 450 rookie, coupled with his brother Hunter winning the 250 championship ahead of professional rookie Haiden Deegan. Jett, especially, seemed set for a takeover, as he added the inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship trophy and then won the Monster Energy AMA 450 Supercross Championship in his first try the next year. Since then, though, he’s had his share of setbacks, and the playing field is both scattered and leveled. A big crash early in the 2024 motocross season ended Jett’s win streak, then a thumb injury later ended his title defense. Supercross then cratered this year with a torn ACL. Lawrence has now not completed the last two regular-season 450 titles

due to injury, and he’s eager to re-establish himself as the dominant figure in the game. How eager? He attacked ACL surgery with incredible vigor, claiming he was able to shave two months off his recovery time to be ready for the Pro Motocross run. Lawrence is back on the gate this year, but there’s a deep field trying to stop him from finding his old success.

Perhaps most intriguing, actually, isn’t Sexton, the 2024 Pro Motocross Champion, but Spain’s Jorge Prado, the four-time titleholder in the European-based FIM Motocross World Championship. Prado in American Pro Motocross is a great unknown. He’s new to his team and bike (Monster Energy Kawasaki) and also missed most of supercross with an injury of his own. Can he learn American tracks and racing quickly enough to show his true form? Can Prado run with the likes of Lawrence and Sexton? The only way to know is to watch, but Prado surely isn’t aiming for anything less than wins.

Another great unknown?

None other than Eli Tomac, the legend and five-time (!) Pro Motocross Champion. How could a legend like that be an unknown commodity?

Tomac has not raced Pro Motocross much since his 2022 title, missing all but two races with injuries, and then spent most of supercross on the sidelines with a broken leg. Before his supercross injury, though, Tomac was back to his old Beast Mode, so clearly he’s still locked in and motivated. All the fans know: a motivated Tomac outdoors is a force of nature. The 450 Pro Motocross

campaign was hotly contested last year between Sexton and Hunter Lawrence (who also missed most of supercross with injury). Cooper Webb missed most of motocross last year with injury but is also healthy and hungry to prove himself outdoors. Inserting those names leads to an incredible field, not just in talent, but in ambition. These are all championship-proven riders who will not settle for midpack results; yet, you can’t cram more than five names into the top five and more than three onto the podium. It. Is. Stacked.

Top: Eli Tomac’s long-awaited return, healthy, to full-time Pro Motocross puts a legend back in the field. Cooper Webb (2) has missed too much 450 Pro Motocross time and has something to prove.

Yet that’s not all the talent! Aaron Plessinger took huge steps last year outdoors and wants to keep visiting podiums. Justin Cooper is finding his footing on a 450. Jason Anderson also returns after, you guessed it, missing time in supercross. We might see some true wild card entries, too. RJ Hampshire, long a frontrunner in 250 racing, plans to make his 450 debut this summer if he can sidestep some nagging injuries. Ken Roczen is currently out injured but plans some Pro Motocross action later in the summer to earn points toward the SMX Playoffs and World Championship. Plus, Ducati, planning an assault on the sport perhaps as soon as 2026, might hit the track with MXGP legend Antonio Cairoli at some point.

That’s just the 450 Class! Deegan completely took control of 250 Pro Motocross in his sophomore effort last year, earning him a label as the next big thing in the sport. His 450 motocross debut could come as early as 2026, but for now he wants more titles, money, and accolades in the 250s. Outdoors has proven to be the specialty of Danger Boy. He’s not afraid to ruffle feathers along the way, though, which fires up his competitors. You can easily list the rivals that Deegan has crossed on and off the track: Chance Hymas, Levi Kitchen, Tom Vialle, Jo Shimoda, Julien Beaumer, probably many more. Even his teammates with Monster Energy Yamaha

Main counterclockwise: This is Ty Masterpool’s chance for a title. Pro Circuit has rookie Drew Adams (98), veteran Garrett Marchbanks, and more. Where will RJ Hampshire (bottom right) slot in on the 450?

Star Racing, and there are many, aren’t safe. It’s hard to remember all the riders Deegan has battled because he will attack anyone! Can any of the 250 riders do anything about it, though?

Some of the stories sound familiar to the 450 Class. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki, for example, has two great outdoor riders who missed major time in supercross. Kitchen crashed out of the Daytona Supercross but won races last year and wants to use motocross to re-establish himself. Ty Masterpool is an outdoor specialist who won last year’s High Point National despite being a late fill-in with Pro Circuit. If he’s ready, look out.

The 250 Class has always been about young talent waiting to hit. Hymas could be that guy, as he showed next-level speed last year. Supercross hasn’t been smooth, but he’s capable of busting out any weekend. Same for his Honda

HRC Progressive teammate Shimoda. Then there’s Vialle, a two-time MXGP champion on 250s, and second to Deegan last year in points. Vialle wasn’t happy with his results a year ago and will spend this summer digging for more.

Often, hotly contested supercross championships leave the field in a rebuild process as the gate drops on the great outdoors. This year the story and situation are different. Simply thinking of proven stars like Lawrence and Lawrence, Prado and Tomac sitting on the sidelines focused on nothing but motocross makes the mind boggle. Can Sexton play the long game and defend his 2024 title? Each weekend will be epic and full of surprises. Plus, with Deegan in the 250s, you’re looking at a champion and a wild card at the same time. There are no limits to what Deegan will do or say! Keep an eye on the action all summer. It’s at a peak.

Clockwise from main: Haiden Deegan (1) is the 250 target. JuJu Beaumer (23), Casey Cochran (40), Stylez Robertson (325), Cole Davies (100), and Austin Forkner (83) would all like his spot.

THE EVENTS

The Pro Motocross Championship is set to deliver another exhilarating season in 2025, showcasing riders from diverse backgrounds around the globe. The personalities in the paddock range from quiet and strong to rowdy and energetic, each adding their unique flair to the competition. Likewise, the tracks are as distinctive as the riders themselves. Spanning the country, each venue presents its own set of challenges that athletes must navigate to succeed over the summer. Across 11 rounds, riders will contend with scorching heat, humidity, and the possibility of torrential rain, among other challenging conditions, making

this series a true test of both man and machine.

The tracks are formidable, featuring high speeds, choppy hard-pack, exhausting sand, deep ruts, and jumps so massive they might require FAA regulation! While conditions will vary from round to round, riders can consistently expect grueling and relentless challenges at each event. Those who rise to the occasion and secure victory are among the best motocross riders in the world. Each stop of the Pro Motocross Championship promises to be an unforgettable experience for all attendees. Here’s a look at the venues that will host this year’s Pro Motocross Championship.

Fox Raceway at Pala once again opens the season—marking the seventh time in eight years that the Southern California circuit sets the tone. Nestled in the motocross industry’s backyard, the track blends a pro-caliber layout with a strong local racing vibe. Riders face a mix of hard-pack and soft sections, elevation swings, and deep ruts that make for a physically demanding opener. Teams arrive with full prep, and fans show up in force to witness who’s ready from lap one. In 2024, Jett Lawrence was flawless in both motos, while Haiden Deegan dominated the 250s with a commanding sweep. With momentum on the line, Fox Raceway is more than a starting point—it’s a statement. A win here can launch a title run or foreshadow a summer-long rivalry. No better place to find out who’s truly prepared.

THE RIDERS

Every season of AMA Pro Motocross arrives surrounded by excitement, but in 2025, the dawn of a new championship comes with an added layer of intrigue. After superstar Jett Lawrence exited the series with an injury in 2024, Chase Sexton turned up the heat and took full ownership of the championship, leaving many to wonder how incredible the battles would have been had Lawrence not gotten hurt. Well, this year we’ll finally get to see the rematch play out, as Lawrence will be returning from a knee injury sustained early during supercross. And with the likes of four-time champion Eli Tomac and heavy hitters like Cooper Webb, Hunter Lawrence, Aaron Plessinger, Jason Anderson, Justin Barcia, Dylan Ferrandis, and more all vying for their slice of motocross glory, 2025 promises to go down as a wildly entertaining summer of racing.

Things are just as exciting in the 250 Class too, as the

lightning-fast and sometimes controversial Haiden Deegan returns to defend the championship he won last summer. He’ll be up against a pack of skilled and hungry competitors, with athletes like Levi Kitchen, Tom Vialle, RJ Hampshire, Cameron McAdoo, Chance Hymas, Julien Beaumer, and many more all eager to dethrone him. Also joining the fight this season will be Cole Davies, who is fresh off an extremely successful rookie outing in supercross. With a field this full of talent, the 250 Class is destined to deliver superb action.

MARTY SMITH

Starting in 2020, the annual accolade recognizing the top-performing freshman rider in the 250 Class was renamed the Marty Smith Rookie of the Year Award, in honoring the late American motocross pioneer.

Marty Smith was the original Rookie of the Year, winning the first AMA National he ever entered in 1974, and later becoming the first 125cc AMA National Champion. Tragically, in April 2020, Marty and his wife, Nancy, lost their lives in a dune-buggy accident

of the Year Award Rookie

in Southern California’s rural Imperial Sand Dunes. They are survived by their three children, Tyler, Jillyin, and Brooke, as well as seven grandchildren. Marty was 63 years old. In recognition of his contributions to the Pro Motocross Championship and the sport as a whole, the award now bears his name.

For an entire generation of racing enthusiasts, Smith epitomized cool. He proved that a motorcycle rider could achieve household name status alongside the likes of football, baseball,

and basketball stars. A charismatic and larger-than-life figure in motocross, he served as a role model for aspiring racers. We are privileged to ensure that his legacy continues for future generations of racers and fans.

With his Southern California surfer looks and effortlessly smooth riding style, Smith became the United States’ first motocross superstar. The San Diego native possessed natural talent, developing a unique racing approach that emphasized control and technique. This conservative method led to his first major victory as an amateur at the 1973 Hangtown Motocross Classic, resulting in a life-changing phone call from factory Honda. The Japanese motorcycle manufacturer trusted the teenager to bring it prominence in the newly formed 125cc AMA National class, where Honda would debut its new CR125M Elsinore model. Smith fulfilled Honda’s expectations, capturing the inaugural 125cc National Championship at just 17 years of age. He dominated the four-race series, capturing two wins and nearly doubling the point total of the nextbest rider—all en route to the title—all while still a senior at Point Loma High School! His notoriety, both on and off the track, solidified the 125cc division’s status as the sport’s proving ground for aspiring young talent.

Smith was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2000 and remained a prominent figure in the industry through his Marty Smith Motocross School. He furthered his racing legacy in 1991 by winning the legendary Baja 1000. He will be missed, but his memory will endure.

SUPERMOTOCROSS

World Championship

After uniting to create the resoundingly successful inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship in 2023, Feld Motor Sports and MX Sports Pro Racing are continuing to work together in order to bring the racing community an incredible postseason racing package that combines the technical precision of stadium

supercross with the all-out speed and endurance of outdoor AMA Pro Motocross, all on the globe’s most challenging and unique hybrid-style tracks.

The SuperMotocross World Championship merges elements of both supercross and motocross racing disciplines—teams, athletes, sponsors, organizers, and fans—and focuses on

highlighting the best and most exciting aspects of both forms of racing. Nowhere else can fans see riders display the profound technical skill and precision required for supercross while, at the same time, on the same track, witness the sheer speed and athletic prowess required for Pro Motocross.

This unique form of racing takes place on the world’s most challenging tracks, designed not only to test the athletes, both mentally and physically, but also the abilities of a team to meet the challenge of building a race machine capable of excelling on an incredibly diverse racing surface.

This dynamic has proven to throw a curveball at riders and teams, as technicians try to find settings that work well on the hybrid-style tracks. In order to excel in SuperMotocross, exceptionally gifted riders must have an equally talented team backing them. This was proven last year when Lawrence (450) and Haiden Deegan (250), both backed by top-notch teams, overcame obstacles and stiff competition to become two-time champions in the SuperMotocross World Championship.

The combined 31-event season includes 17 AMA Supercross rounds (January 12–May 10), 11 Pro Motocross rounds

When motocross legend Jeremy McGrath and BMX pioneer Bob Haro join forces, innovation happens. Inspired by California’s Hwy 101, the 101 eBike delivers the kind of performance champions would expect.

“At 101 Bikes, I’ve fused my passion for cycling and motocross to create eBikes built for performance and fun.”

– Jeremy McGrath, 101 Bikes CoFounder

www.101bikes.com

(May 24–August 23), two SuperMotocross Playoff rounds (September 6, 13), ending with the SuperMotocross World Championship Finals (September 20).

Both Supercross and Pro Motocross will continue to crown individual champions, meaning points will be scored independently within each championship. A combined points tally will also be accrued throughout both series, from which the top 20 point-earners, each from the 450cc and 250cc divisions, over the course of the first 28 races of the season, will automatically qualify and be seeded into the SuperMotocross World Championship. Riders who finish

from 21st to 30th in combined points will compete for the final two positions of the 22-rider field in a Wild Card race preceding each of the two playoff rounds. If a seeded, top 20 athlete is unable to compete in an event, an additional opportunity will be made available for a provisional racer to qualify through the Wild Card race. Additionally, any racer outside the top 30 in combined points who won an AMA Supercross Main Event or Pro Motocross moto will also be eligible to compete in the Wild Card race for the 21st and 22nd positions.

The point system for the SuperMotocross World Championship will

be unique to the playoff. Points will be reset for the final three races, beginning with 25 points for the top seed, 22 for the second seed, 20 for the third seed, and 18 for the fourth, followed by single-point denominations through the 20th seed. All racers outside the top 20 in combined points will begin the playoff rounds with zero points. Playoff 1 will feature the same point structure (25-0, 25 for first, 0 for 22nd), while Playoff 2 will pay out double points (500). The SuperMotocross World Championship Finals will pay triple points (75-0), guaranteeing an unpredictable outcome for the title.

The SuperMotocross World Championship will operate under a two-moto format for both the 450 and 250 divisions. Each moto will be 20 minutes plus one lap, in which Olympic scoring will determine an overall finishing position for each round. Championship points will be awarded in accordance with each overall finishing order.

A season-long purse of $10 million will encompass the entire 31-race season, where $5.5 million will be on the line for the playoff rounds of the SuperMotocross World Championship. An astounding $1 million will be awarded to the 450cc division champion and $500,000 for the 250cc division champion. It’s the most prize money in the history of off-road motorcycle racing.

A groundbreaking five-year domestic partnership with NBC Sports (which started in 2023) will see all 31 events that encompass the SuperMotocross World Championship—17 rounds of Supercross, 11 rounds of Pro Motocross, and 3 SMX rounds—streamed live, exclusively on Peacock. Broadcast coverage throughout the season will be shared between NBC Sports’ networks.

Outside of the U.S., the SuperMotocross Video Pass will provide exclusive live streaming coverage of the entire season to fans around the globe.

At the conclusion of the 2009 AMA Pro Motocross Championship, a pair of perpetual championship trophies was introduced for the 450 and 250 Classes. The Edison Dye Cup and Gary Jones Cup are commemorative awards that honor the legacy of American motocross in name and in spirit. Each goes to the team that captures its respective class championship: the Edison Dye Cup for the 450 Class and the Gary Jones Cup for the 250 Class. Each season, both cups are claimed by the riders and teams able to overcome and endure the challenges that make motocross the world’s toughest sport. And last year, in 2024, the Pro Motocross Championship produced new versions of both the Edison Dye Cup and Gary Jones Cup.

The RC Hard Charger Award

The RC Hard Charger Award, honoring Ricky Carmichael, the legendary motocross rider, enters its 16th season in 2025. This award recognizes the competitor who consistently overtakes the most racers in either of the 450 Class motos during each round, from start to fi nish.

The award’s return is a fitting tribute to Carmichael, the GOAT, or Greatest of All Time, and his unwavering determination. Carmichael retired from the sport with an impressive 10 Pro Motocross championships and 102 wins, achievements that are unlikely to be surpassed.

SMX NEXT

Developing tomorrow’s pros from today’s amateurs

There was a time when turning pro was a sink-or-swim affair, with no structure in place to bridge the gap between amateur races and the bright lights of Monster Energy Supercross and the grueling demands of AMA Pro Motocross. Fortunately, the road to successfully joining the pro ranks is now well-defined, thanks to the efforts of Feld Motor Sports and MX Sports Pro Racing, with the SMX Next Supercross AMA National Championship and SMX Next Motocross Scouting Moto Combine programs, and the two organizations’ collaborative endeavor, SMX World All-Stars. The result? SMX Next.

SMX Next combines the SMX Next Supercross AMA National Championship, the Pro Motocross Scouting Moto Combine, and SMX World All-Stars into a single, season-long collaborative effort to develop and foster the world’s best amateur racing talents and provide a smooth transition into the professional ranks.

These dynamic amateur development programs are already paying dividends and boast extremely impressive alumni, such as Jett Lawrence, Haiden Deegan, Chance Hymas, Julien Beaumer, and more.

The SMX Next Supercross AMA National Championship consists of four premier qualifying rounds, held at select events of the 2025 Monster Energy Supercross Championship, and culminates with a season-ending AMA National Championship round, held in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Supercross. The program provides an excellent, race-oriented opportunity for amateurs to further hone

their craft while getting a taste of racing on a professional stage.

The SMX Next Motocross Scouting Moto Combine is held in conjunction with the Hangtown, RedBud, and Ironman National of the Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing. In addition to racing a pair of 25-minute-plus-two-lap motos, racers also participate in classroom-style seminars, which provide invaluable insight and education into riding techniques, mental awareness, health and fitness, as well as media engagement from past champions and legends like Broc Glover and Chad Reed. Industry

leaders, like Gareth Swanepoel, Jason Weigandt, and more, also lend their knowledge and expertise.

Following the conclusion of the SMX Next Supercross AMA National Championship and the SMX Next Motocross Scouting Moto Combines, top amateur prospects reconvene to test their mettle on the unique hybrid tracks of the SMX World Championship Playoffs and conclude in a one-race showcase on the sport’s biggest stage at the SuperMotocross World Championship Finals in Las Vegas, where racers use skills gained throughout the year to see who reigns supreme.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The Pro Motocross Championship and its promoters are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable race experience for all fans. Our goal is to provide an environment where fans can enjoy a day outside watching racing with family and friends. We humbly ask that fans follow these simple rules for the weekend:

Track Access The racetrack is OFF LIMITS AT ALL TIMES to all guests.

Respect Fans are entitled to enjoy their day at the races free from disruptive or obscene behavior. If you partake in this behavior, you will be removed from the property without a ticket refund.

AlcoholResponsibility Fans who consume alcohol must do so in a legal and responsible manner.

Tickets Your armband is your weekend ticket and must be worn at all times. If you leave the facility, you must have it on to reenter. This is your gate ticket. Do not take it off.

Prohibited We do not permit fireworks, glass beverage containers, kegs, scaffolding, or weapons.

Search Policy All vehicles are subject to search at any time. If any fireworks, glass containers, or other prohibited items are found, you may remove them from the property yourself, or we will dispose of them for you. We are not responsible for the safe return of any contraband removed.

Responsibility Motocross racing, like all motorsports, can be dangerous. When you enter the grounds, you assume the risk of injury and/or damage. It is your responsibility to keep yourself and your children a safe distance from the racetrack. Parents, you are responsible for the safety of your children. Be aware of their location at all times. Never turn your back to oncoming racers.

No Pit Vehicles We do not allow pit bikes, quads, scooters, golf carts, etc.

No Open Campfires Only gas and charcoal cooking grills are permitted.

No Drones The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones will be prohibited at all Pro Motocross events. Anyone found trying to enter any venue with these devices will be refused access. If you are found to be flying a UAV over the venue’s airspace, you will be escorted from the facility, and all further access will be revoked.

Mind Your Generators Mind the exhaust of your generator—carbon monoxide inhalation is extremely dangerous (see below). Quiet time for generators begins at 10 p.m. No loud generators after this time.

Fire Extinguishers All campers/haulers over 20’ in length should be equipped with a fully functioning fire extinguisher.

Midnight Curfew All campers must be at their campsites by midnight.

Pet Policy Pets are allowed at the events but must remain on a leash at all times. They must stay in the Camping Area and Amateur Pits; NO PETS are allowed in the paddock or main fan areas on Saturday.

Sleep Safe Policy Pro Motocross is a family event, and one of the most exciting features is the opportunity to camp out and have fun. However, if you are staying overnight in an RV or vehicle or using a generator, you need to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is a poisonous, colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be released when burning gasoline, kerosene, oil, propane, or wood.

Mind your vehicle and generator exhaust while in close proximity to your family and neighbors. Do not place your generator directly under a slide-out or under your vehicle, where the fumes can seep into the vehicle. Make sure all exhaust fumes (generators and vehicles) are properly and fully vented and unobstructed. Even when sleeping outdoors under the stars, make sure you are not too close to exhaust flow. Devastating consequences can result without proper ventilation.
