Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb led the opening lap but eventually fell back to fourth place to avoid any mishaps with other riders, hence ultimately winning the 2025 Monster Energy AMA 450 Supercross Championship! Webb was emotional when he crossed the line to win his third premiere class Supercross title! Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Malcolm Stewart wowed the crowd with a charge from a seventh-place start to second. Stewart passed Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper, who was in third behind Webb, who was riding conservatively for the title. Stewart got the crowd on their feet when he caught and passed Webb for second. Cooper eventually passed his teammate Webb; it was his third straight podium finish, and he landed third in the overall championships.   In the 250SX East/West Showdown, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan grabbed the holeshot and never looked back; this backs up his win the week before when he wrapped up the Western Divisional 250SX Class Championship. Behind Deegan, the three-rider fight for the Eastern Divisional 250SX Class Championship was settled with a wildly dramatic battle that saw Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle finish in third place to earn a consecutive Eastern Divisional 250SX Class title. The crowd was stunned when Hampshire and Hammaker fell with the former’s aggressive pass, which took both of them out of title contention.     chase sexton, coach sam tamayo, cooper webb, mmf live, mxmessiah live Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Justin Cooper, who won the 450 Heat race against the KTM riders, battled with Aaron Plessinger but secured the last spot on the podium to earn his second podium of the season.   In the Eastern Divisional 250SX Class. Red Bull KTM’s Tom Vialle delivered a clutch performance to win and get him the overall points lead back by one and claim his first victory of the season. The win marked the first time in the sport’s history that a Lites championship has delivered seven different winners. Nate Thrasher, who took the early lead, ended the race in second, while Muc-Off FXR ClubMX Yamaha’s Maximus Vohland got his career-first podium finish in third.

That’s two. So he gets to keep his hair, doesn’t get shaved, so he’s safe. I’m stoked, big thanks to the whole Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha team and my mechanic Lach [Lachlan Mills]. We’ve been putting in the work… The whole group around me is just very, very good and striving to be the best they can.

Chase Sexton Back on top, Jordon Smith gives Triumph its first win!

Chase Sexton Back on top, Jordon Smith gives Triumph its first win! February 2, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Glendale, Ariz., (February 2, 2025) Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton wins his second race of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season to take back the overall championship points lead and the red plate! His consistency in the first Triple Crown event gave him a 3-3-2 score at the packed State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The three races had three different winners: Monster Energy Star Yamaha’s Cooper Webb and Eli Tomac took the race 1 and race 3 wins, while Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen won race 2. It was Cooper Webb’s 1-5-3 that sealed him second overall and Roczen’s 4-1-5 with third overall. “The first two races were chaos. I had to fight really hard to get to a good position and be on the podium. In the last race I made a dumb mistake and let Eli get by me. Honestly, I’m a little bummed I didn’t win that last race; I wanted that one. But I got the overall win, and that’s what we’re here to do. We’re here to win and get the red plate back, and consistency paid off tonight. My speed was good… we’re in a good spot, and I’m ready to fight for this thing.” – Chase Sexton  In Western Regional 250SX Class racing, Jordon Smith of Triumph Racing won his first of the season and the very first for Triumph as a manufacturer. Triumph becomes the fourth manufacturer to win this season. Although the hype of the Deegan-Beumer war that started last week in Anaheim 2, which continued on social media, was the main focus of the fans, the battle didn’t happen as both riders found themselves making mistakes and on the ground a couple of times as for the Red Bull KTM red plate holder, while being in front or fighting for a better position in all three races. Race 1 and 2 were won by the 17-year-old Cole Davies from New Zealand, who is riding for Monster Energy Star Yamaha, but it was the veteran Jordon Smith who took the race 3 win and the overall. It might have been Davies first win of his career if he had finished at least third in the race, but his crash in the opening laps held him to third overall and his second podium of the season with a 1-1-8. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan had 3-2-4 race finishes and was good enough for second overall, but it was Smith’s 2-3-1 result that took the overall win and made history as Triumph’s first win!   “It’s unbelievable to get the first win for the Triumph brand… It feels good to be up here and get the win. The track got very tricky. [The track crew] didn’t touch those whoops since this morning, so they were treacherous, but it’s just unbelievable to get this win. The bike is amazing. I think a lot of people may have questioned me leaving Star, but I believed in these guys from day one, and we worked our butts off all [during the] off-season, and it really shows. I’m just so happy to be back up here on the top step.” – Jordon Smith </div chase sexton, jordon smith, monster energy supercross Share this post Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.

Jo Shimoda and Chase Sexton dominate Supercross Opener in Anaheim

Jo Shimoda and Chase Sexton dominate Supercross Opener in Anaheim January 12, 2025 Photo Credit: Feld Entertainment Anaheim, CA, (January 11, 2025) A sold-out Anaheim 1 Supercross Opener in Angel Stadium lived up to expectation as one of the most exciting season openers in recent years. The thousands in attendance were at the edge of their seats watching the whole main event as title favorites like Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha riders’ Eli Tomac and Haiden Deegan found themselves on the ground during the opening lap of their respective main event races. In the 20-minute plus one-lap 450 class main event, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jorge Prado took the holeshot and the early lead until crowd favorite Eli Tomac did quick work to the front. But not long after, he got run over by Red Bull KTM Racing’s Chase Sexton after his motorcycle’s front end washed out in the corner. But it was Sexton who took his first opening round win in convincing fashion, even with a brief stall near the midpoint where Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen, who battled forward, reaching second place, almost caught him. Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jason Anderson managed to avoid first-turn chaos and found himself in the lead on the first lap. After intense battles with Sexton and Roczen, he finished the race on the podium in third place. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac crashed on the opening lap while leading and made an impressive comeback from last place to fifth, while the defending champion, Team Honda HRC Progressive’s Jett Lawrence, had two big mistakes in the opening laps and was only able to climb back to 12th spot. “I kind of knew where I was at coming in here. I knew I had good speed. I feel more like myself in 2023 when I was fast, but I feel like I’m a little more mature now and I can get out front and kind of run my own laps and not make mistakes, so it was a fun race. [I] had Kenny behind me, and also Jason, and it was just a good ride. Honestly, I had so much fun on this track tonight. I can’t give it up to the team enough. They put in so much hard work this off-season to get me comfortable, knowing that I wasn’t comfortable last year; and coming in now we’re back where we need to be. We still have lots to improve; it’s only one race in and there’s 16 left, but we’re off to a good start and first time winning A1 feels pretty good.” – Chase Sexton, after winning the A1 Main Event following his Heat Race victory.   “Talk about a high and a low; I mean, oh my gosh, I just couldn’t believe it, you know?… [I] made the pass for the lead over the triple there. I’m like, ‘Okay, you know, here we go! Let’s put this great 20 minutes in…’ And just like that, it ended. I just tucked my front end there in that 90 degree corner. Good Ol’ Anaheim, gets slick in the evening, and didn’t respect it. So all these years I’ve done it and just, you know, barely made that mistake. I had a good come back, getting to that fifth. I’m excited [about] the way I rode the rest of the main there, so thank you… I was feeling just like I should, and what I know I can do, the whole day there. So great qualifying and a good quarter lap, but we’re going to come back. [laughs]” – Eli Tomac, when asked to describe his emotions after crashing out of the lead on the first lap.   In the 250SX West class, Honda HRC Progressive’s Joe Shimoda rode a nearly flawless race and led every lap to take the victory. The Japanese rider surprised many, even the all-star broadcast team members James Stewart and Ricky Carmichael, with a great start, while two-time 250 SMX World Champion Haiden Deegan had a bad start, hit the rear tire of the rider in front of him, and hence crashed, getting fifth place in the 15-minute plus one-lap main event. “This is the start I was looking for every single year. And I think I was honestly sleeping on the gate [in previous seasons]. [Laughs] But we came out with a good start and just put in some consistent laps, you know, and never looked back. All this happened because of my team behind it. I’d just like to thank everyone at Honda, my trainer, mechanic and everybody… Thank you so much. Thank you, I love you guys.” – Jo Shimoda, when asked on the podium how it feels to start the season with a strong performance.   “Not really happy to get interviewed for fifth, but better than last year. We’ll take the positive. Obviously not a great start. It happens, [I] went down, [then] fought my heart out and made my way back up to fifth and that’s all I could do. But congrats to the boys, obviously the light should be shined on them and all we can do is come out swinging at the next race.” – Haiden Deegan, when asked about his impressive charge to fifth place.  Leave a Reply Cancel reply Logged in as mx_admin.
