Motocross 2025 250 results, highlights, finish at RedBud: Jo Shimoda earns fourth career win
Jo Shimoda won his fourth 250 class Pro Motocross race after sweeping both motos of the RedBud Nationals in Buchanan, Michigan. He became the third 250 winner along with Chance Hymas, who won in Lakewood, Colorado, and Haiden Deegan with four victories. Shimoda's first two Motocross victories came in 2022 at Unadilla and RedBud. In both of those Nationals, he won the first race and swept the podium with third-place finishes in the second. Shimoda improved his performance with his third win, which came in the 2023 season finale at Ironman. He swept the motos that weekend. Shimoda was off to a strong start this season with second-place finishes in his first four motos as well as in the overall results, but his next two 2025 rounds ended outside the top five. Last week, he struggled in Moto 1 at Southwick to finish 10th. He rebounded in the second moto and finished second, giving him fifth overall. As moral support, the president of Honda HRC made a rare appearance at a US Motocross race, and that was the added incentive Shimoda needed. He won Moto 1 by seven seconds and Moto 2 by nearly 18 seconds. Click here for a recap of RedBud Overall positions for the remainder of the field were hard fought, with nearly everyone experiencing problems in at least one of their motos — and the podium was filled with heartwarming stories. In just his third round back after suffering an Achilles tendon injury, Jalek Swoll barely missed the top five in Moto 1 with a sixth-place result. He wanted to make the most of his second race and grabbed the holeshot in Moto 2. Swoll led the first four laps before dropping to third. He regained second on Lap 12 only to lose it to Haiden Deegan with two remaining. His third-place finish in that race was enough to secure second overall. Michael Mosiman barely missed out on a podium last week in Southwick with a fourth-place result overall. That was a remarkable result, considering he suffered a severe neck injury prior to the 2024 Pro Motocross season. Mosiman showed consistency and speed at RedBud. He scored fourth-place results in both motos, tied Swoll in the number of points earned, and finished third due to the tiebreaker. Relive Moto 1 Mikkel Haarup joined his Triumph Factory teammate Swoll in the top five after finishing eighth in Moto 1 and fifth in Moto 2. Haarup had not initially planned to ride in the United States, but the contract to race in MXGP did not have him lining up overseas. Deegan got off to a poor start in Moto 1, but that rarely makes a difference for 'Danger Boy.' He completed Lap 1 outside the top 10, worked his way up to seventh on Lap 3, and then crashed. He fell to ninth, worked his way back to fifth on Lap 10, and then crashed again. The second incident was difficult to overcome, and he finished 14th with the banged-up bike. Deegan finished second in Moto 2 and secured the final top-five position overall. Ryder DiFrancesco showed speed in qualification by sweeping both sessions. A poor start in Moto 1 dropped him outside a points-paying finish in 25th, but he climbed to 12th at the checkers. DiFrancesco was better in Moto 2 and finished sixth after completing Lap 1 in 11th. He was scored sixth overall.

Motocross 2025 450 results, highlights, finish at RedBud: Jett Lawrence remains unstoppable
The final box score revealed yet another moto sweep for Jett Lawrence at RedBud MX Park in Buchanan, Michigan, but so much more happened before the drop of the final checkered flag. Jett revealed yet again that he has been toying with the competition. After last week's absolutely dominant performance at Southwick, Jett showed a different side to his strength. He won Moto 1 in his usual manner (with a margin of 16 seconds), but got a poor start in Moto 2. While trying to make up the differential, he crashed on Lap 1 and completed that lap in 18th. Jett passed five riders on Lap 2 and was inside the top 10 by Lap 3. One lap later, he was in the top five and had a podium position by Lap 6. In 11 laps, Jett passed nearly half the field and established his lead, which he then stretched to more than eight seconds. When the dust settled, he earned the maximum number of points (50) and ended with a points lead greater than one full round. Equally important, there was a change of position in second behind him because of a horrible outing for Eli Tomac. Click here for a recap of RedBud Hunter Lawrence finished second in Moto 1 in a secure spot, 16 seconds behind Jett and nearly 13 seconds ahead of RJ Hampshire, who scored his first moto podium of 2025. Hunter was passed by Justin Cooper late in the second race and lost an additional two points to his brother, but he left Michigan second in the championship standings. He is currently 51 points behind Jett. Cooper still seeks his first moto win in the 450 division, but he replicated his best result with a second-place finish in Moto 2. Coupled with a fourth in the first race, he finished third overall, earned five points more than the SuperMotocross League points leader, Chase Sexton, and closed in on the No. 1 seed for the playoffs. Hampshire's third-place finish in Moto 1 is a career best. So is his fourth-place overall showing after he finished sixth in the second moto. Last week at Southwick, he came close to cracking the top five with a sixth overall. Relive Moto 1 Sexton returned to racing even though he might not have been 100 percent. Partly that was in an attempt to stave off the charge by Cooper for the top playoff seed, and partly because it's difficult to sit on the sidelines too long. Sexton revealed he has been battling health issues more than an injury, but even at a diminished capacity, he finished in the top five overall with results of fifth and fourth. For a little while, it appeared Jorge Prado might get his first moto win. With Jett momentarily sidelined in Moto 2, Pardo led the first five laps. He faded to fifth at the checkers and finished sixth overall when his seventh-place Moto 1 result was added. RedBud was disastrous for Tomac. He entered the race second in points, but still had a longshot chance to catch Jett. His bike had a different idea; it retired on Lap 10 while he was running third in Moto 1. Demoralized and suffering from a poor gate pick for the second race, he finished only seventh in Moto 2 to earn 15 points during the weekend. Tomac dropped to fourth in the Pro Motocross standings. Tony Cairoli debuted the new Ducati dirt bike at RedBud and got off to a promising start with a ninth-place finish in Moto 1. The bike did not withstand the strain of Moto 2, but Cairoli was scored 14th overall.
