RedBud Motocross betting, predictions, lines: Chase Sexton return makes Eli Tomac's odds compelling
Last week at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts, Jett Lawrence made two statement rides, easily outperforming the field in both motos. The most likely outcome of that domination would have been that Jett's odds at RedBud would have lengthened, but with Sexton's return and the increased competition, he became slightly more attractive, moving from -380 to minus -307. Wagering $300 for the chance to win $100 is still a risky proposition, but betting odds often provide a unique perspective on the relative strength of the field.

Sexton's return also impacted Eli Tomac's odds, making him an attractive bet both in reference to the outright win and to score a podium. Tomac has averaged an opening line of about 5/2 during the past four Nationals, but the traders at Alt Sports Data, the official linemaker for the SuperMotocross Championship, are showing very little faith in the veteran. His outright win odds moved substantially from +242 last week to +833 for RedBud. Tomac also sports positive odds for a podium at +127.
While the increased line has as much to do with the traders' opinion that Jett is virtually unbeatable, Tomac fell from being the third-most attractive rider in their eyes to his being fourth.
Alt Sports is not quite willing to place Sexton in the second slot this week. That honor goes to Hunter Lawrence (+451), who finished second in both Southwick motos. His steady performance during the past several weeks has awakened the traders to his potential as Hunter had nearly 400 points shaved from his line compared to Southwick's +841.
The surprise of the week may well be Sexton landing third on the chart. His odds of +590 provide a lot of upside if Jett makes a mistake and Sexton is truly prepared for his return. After Jett's departure from the lineup last year before the RedBud Nationals, Sexton swept the season and won the Motocross championship. His prospectus against a healthy Jett is not as promising, however, and he finished behind him in every race they have contested with the sole exception of Jett's crash last year at Hangtown.

Aaron Plessinger (+1888) is fifth on the chart this week despite failing to score an overall top-five at Southwick. That sandy track did not suit his riding style and he struggled, but that will increase his desire to rebound during the weekend when his teammate, Sexton, returns to the lineup. Few expect Plessinger to win, but with a line of +213 to podium, a modest wager could be made.
Another podium bet worth considering is for Jorge Prado (+13414 for outright win) who had a raw opening line of +1786 to stand somewhere on the box. Prado earned his first overall top-five last week at The Wick but he contended for podiums in both races.
Justin Cooper (+2733) narrowly kept his top-five streak alive last week. He is the only other rider under 100/1 for the outright win. Bettors who favor a deep strategy might wish to place a modest wager on him.

Clemson fired gymnastics coach following athletes' complaints, emails show
After a review of its gymnastics program following complaints, Clemson fired coach Amy Smith this spring for failing to ensure the safe and responsible treatment of athletes, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post. In April, just after Clemson's gymnastics team finished its season, a university employee informed athletic department staff members that an anonymous hotline had received a 'complaint regarding possible emotional/mental abuse within the gymnastics team,' according to a copy of the email obtained through a public records request. The details of the report were redacted.

Miovision Applauds U.S. Department of Transportation's Call to Prioritize Road Safety
ST. PAUL, Minn., July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Miovision, a global leader in intelligent transportation systems and mobility safety solutions, today voiced its strong support for the U.S. Department of Transportation's new SAFE ROADS initiative to improve roadway safety and reduce traffic fatalities. In a statement issued by U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, the Department called on governors across the country to prioritize evidence-based safety interventions to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries. 'Far too many Americans die each year to traffic fatalities to take our eye off the ball. USDOT stands ready to help communities across the country make their roads safer and easier to navigate,' Secretary Duffy emphasized, urging state leaders to move swiftly on proven solutions that save lives. Miovision applauds this bold, clear-eyed focus on safety. The company's mission is closely aligned with the USDOT's vision: to enable data-driven transportation planning that proactively identifies risk and reduces the likelihood of crashes - before they happen. 'We fully support Secretary Duffy's call to action,' said Kurtis McBride, CEO and Co-founder of Miovision. 'At a time when traffic fatalities are on the rise, the need for actionable insights andleadership is more urgent than ever. Our technology is built to help cities and states proactively diagnose risk and implement effective, measurable improvements.

The company remains committed to helping transportation leaders across the U.S. leverage intelligent mobility tools to meet safety goals outlined in the SAFE ROADS initiative. We urge the Administration to adopt a bold but achievable national goal: modernize every intersection in America by 2035. Doing so will save billions of dollars, improve our transportation system, and most importantly – SAVE LIVES. As Congress begins work on the next surface transportation reauthorization, we look forward to partnering with leaders on both sides of the aisle, and both sides of the Capitol, to make this vision a reality.
