    Kitchen clocks 17:02.837, fastest 2:22.717 on Kawasaki

    Round 1 at Fox Raceway in Pala opened the Pro Motocross season and produced an early pecking order in 250 qualifying, with Levi Kitchen topping the combined times. Kitchen logged a combined qualifying time of 17:02.837 and posted the fastest lap at 2:22.717 aboard a Kawasaki KX250. Julien Beaumer was second on a KTM 250 SX-F Factory Edition, 1.065 seconds back, and Caden Dudney third on a Yamaha YZ250F, 1.353 seconds off the lead; Lux Turner and Chance Hymas rounded out the top five. The published combined results (two sessions) listed 64 riders and included lap times and machine information for each 250 entry.

    The Pala stop also counted as round 18 of SuperMotocross, with points from both series combining toward post-season playoff positioning. Defending champion Jett Lawrence returned for his first gate drop of the season, while former 450 champions Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton and Dylan Ferrandis were identified as primary challengers; Haiden Deegan made his 450-class debut at the event. The 250 class remained unsettled, and the report projected a new 250-class champion by the end of the season.

  • Coenen twins to contest three AMA rounds for KTM

    Coenen twins to contest three AMA rounds for KTM

    KTM confirmed that 19-year-old Belgian twins Lucas and Sacha Coenen will contest three rounds of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross season in the United States as wild-card entries. The brothers are entered for the Thunder Valley National in Lakewood, Colorado on June 13, the Southwick National in Massachusetts on July 11, and the Ironman National finale on August 29.

    KTM and Red Bull KTM framed the plan as a coordination between Red Bull KTM de Carli Racing (MXGP) and American Red Bull KTM Factory Racing to give the young riders select U.S. exposure without interrupting their world championship campaigns, and the entries are conditional on how each rider’s MXGP and MX2 schedules progress. Lucas will ride KTM machinery in the 450MX class on a 450, and Sacha will compete on a 250 in the 250MX class. Both riders will remain entered in their respective FIM Motocross World Championship classes while contesting the AMA rounds.

    Lucas leads the MXGP standings after five rounds and Sacha sits second in MX2, with outlets varying on precise points margins and win totals. Some outlets noted the Thunder Valley date coincides with an MXGP round in France the same weekend, and KTM said the U.S. plan is intended to fit around the world championship calendar. The announcement followed earlier reports and social posts from motocross outlets and journalists, and Red Bull KTM described parts of the plan as provisional depending on each rider’s 2026 world championship progress. The twins signed a multi-year deal with Red Bull KTM earlier in 2026, both have strong recent form in MXGP and MX2, and both have expressed a desire to eventually race full-time in the United States.

  • 5.11 Becomes Triumph Title Sponsor at Fox Raceway

    5.11 Becomes Triumph Title Sponsor at Fox Raceway

    Apparel brand 5.11 has stepped up from associate sponsor to title sponsor of Triumph’s U.S. entry, which will race as 5.11 Triumph Factory Racing with a new livery. The rebrand will be formally unveiled at the AMA Pro Motocross season opener at Fox Raceway in Pala, California on May 30. Outlets differ on the sponsorship term, with some reporting it runs for the remainder of the season and others calling it a multi-year deal.

    Triumph confirmed a five-rider Pro Motocross roster. Jordon Smith and Mikkel Haarup will move up to the premier 450 class aboard the TF 450-X. Gage Linville, Austin Forkner and SMX Next champion Deacon Denno will campaign TF 250-X machines. Denno, who won at the Philadelphia Supercross in April, is scheduled to make his professional debut and will contest the full Pro Motocross season.

    Jalek Swoll remains sidelined while recovering from an Achilles injury sustained in March, and his contract with the squad runs through the end of the season. Triumph said the 5.11-backed team will begin its third consecutive AMA Pro Motocross Championship campaign this season.

    The title sponsorship builds on a partnership that began during the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season, when 5.11 supplied teamwear and ran paddock activations, autograph signings, giveaways and a fan contest that awarded a TF 450-RC raced by Triumph ambassador Ricky Carmichael. Triumph Racing America general manager Jeremy Coker and 5.11 CEO Troy Brown said the deeper partnership reflects shared performance values and highlighted 5.11’s durable gear for varied weather as a key element of the collaboration.

    5.11 signs multi-year sponsorship of MX Sports Pro Motocross

    5.11 will commit multi-year support to the AMA Pro Racing-sanctioned Pro Motocross Championship and will serve as title sponsor of the 5.11 RedBud National at RedBud MX on July 4, linking the Independence Day stop with America’s 250th anniversary.

    The agreement expands 5.11’s involvement with the Monster Energy SMX World Championship Series and the SMX League. MX Sports CEO Carrie Coombs Russell said, “5.11’s durable, purpose-built gear is well suited for the paddock and the sport’s fanbase.” 5.11 CEO Troy Brown said the deal is about “showing up for the community” and framed the partnership around the company’s “Challenge Possible” mindset, emphasizing preparation, resilience and performing under pressure.

    Founded in Southern California in 2003, 5.11 highlighted product attributes such as reinforced stitching, weather-resistant fabrics and ergonomic designs. The multi-year sponsorship covers the 11-race Pro Motocross summer season, scheduled to begin May 30 in Southern California. As part of the partnership, 5.11 will produce custom limited-edition collectible patches for all 11 outdoor races, and its RedBud entitlement will be used to honor those who serve and to support local communities. 5.11 plans to leverage RedBud’s holiday prominence and the season schedule to activate its brand and community outreach over multiple years.

  • Drew Adams sidelined after Cleveland crash injures left hand

    Drew Adams sidelined after Cleveland crash injures left hand

    Drew Adams was injured on the first lap of the second race of the Eastern Divisional 250SMX Class Triple Crown in Cleveland when Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider Cole Davies landed on him. The incident produced a red-flag restart and left the Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider unable to continue. Adams suffered wrist and thumb injuries to his surgically repaired left hand.

    Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki announced Adams will be sidelined indefinitely as he recovers. Adams said he is “pretty banged up from head to toe,” and the team said he will focus on preparing for the upcoming outdoor season rather than competing in the immediate Supercross rounds. The announcement indicated Adams will be out for the Philadelphia Supercross, and he thanked fans and his team for their support as he rehabilitates.

    Adams’s left hand had previously undergone surgery after a broken thumb sustained at Daytona that forced him to miss multiple rounds. No specific return date or medical update beyond the initial diagnosis has been provided, and the exact timetable for recovery is unknown. That uncertainty leaves his availability for the Pro Motocross Championship, scheduled to begin on May 30, unclear and creates questions about Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s lineup and preparation for the outdoor season.

  • MRI confirms Red Bull KTM's Aaron Plessinger labral tear

    MRI confirms Red Bull KTM’s Aaron Plessinger labral tear

    Red Bull KTM Factory Racing said MRI scans confirm Aaron Plessinger has suffered a hip labral tear and that he is likely to miss the remainder of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. The injury was sustained in a heavy crash in the Birmingham main event after an earlier big crash in Indianapolis, and the team said the tear will require intensive treatment and an extended recovery.

    Plessinger, who sat out the Detroit round while aiming to return for Round 12 in St. Louis, called the diagnosis “a gut punch” and said he accepted the decision so he can recover fully and “give it my best.” KTM said Plessinger faces a potential six-week absence; if he is not cleared before Supercross concludes, his focus will shift to rehabbing and preparing for the AMA Pro Motocross Championship.

    Plessinger is 12th in the championship standings with a season-best sixth at Daytona. KTM framed the decision around long-term recovery and team planning; teammates Eli Tomac and Jorge Prado will continue to represent the factory squad at St. Louis while the team manages Plessinger’s treatment and the timing between Supercross recovery and outdoor preparations.

  • Mosiman has surgery, misses Supercross; targets Pro

    Mosiman has surgery, misses Supercross; targets Pro

    Michael Mosiman will miss the remainder of the Supercross season after a serious practice crash while preparing for the Birmingham round at The Farm left him with a dislocated elbow, a broken radius and multiple fractures to his hand and fingers. He underwent surgery to repair the broken radius, had the elbow reduced and received treatment for fractures to his fingers and other hand injuries. In an Instagram post Mosiman called the injury “devastating,” thanked supporters, said the recovery “is not terribly long” and said he hopes to be fit in time for the Pro Motocross series.

    Mosiman, who rides for Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, entered the crash tied for third in the 250SX West standings after six rounds with two podiums this season, including a runner-up finish at Anaheim 2 where he led laps. By withdrawing from the remaining Supercross rounds he will forfeit his pursuit of the 250SX West championship.

    Star Racing announced Mosiman will miss the rest of Supercross, describing the absence as an injury-driven midseason setback while leaving open the possibility he could return for the outdoor Pro Motocross series; the team said the recovery timeline could allow a comeback in time for the Pro Motocross Championship opener on May 30 at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. The team said it will field healthy 250SX riders at the Birmingham East/West Showdown and named Haiden Deegan, Dangerboy, Max Anstie, Cole Davies, Pierce Brown, Nate Thrasher and rookie Caden Dudney. Star Racing and Mosiman warned the absence will materially affect the 250SX West title fight and his preparation for the upcoming motocross season if rehabilitation proceeds as expected.

    Beta Halts Supercross to Rehabilitate Riders, Refine 450 RX

    Liqui Moly Beta Factory Racing announced it will withdraw from the remainder of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship (Supercross) after both of its premier-class riders were sidelined in the opening rounds. Benny Bloss broke his wrist during press day at the Anaheim season opener, and Mitchell Oldenburg suffered a concussion and fractures to the radius and ulna in a qualifying crash in San Diego the following week.

    Both riders have undergone successful surgeries and are now recovering. The team said it will forgo the rest of the Supercross season and will be removed from the Supercross points battle as it prioritizes medical care and rehabilitation. Race Team Director Carlen Gardner called the decision heartbreaking, given the riders’ strong off-season pace, but said it will give them time to recover fully before returning to competition.

    Beta will redirect its full resources to contest the complete 11-round AMA Pro Motocross Championship, the team’s first full outdoor series campaign, and will still target the three-round SuperMotocross Playoffs (SMX). Team efforts will include continued development of the new Beta 450 RX and concentrated support for rider rehabilitation and conditioning.

    The Pro Motocross season begins May 30 at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, and the withdrawal preserves Beta’s ability to enter every outdoor national. Team officials framed the move as an operational and scheduling response to early-season injuries that prioritizes rider health while aiming to maximize competitiveness across the outdoor schedule and postseason as the riders complete their recoveries.
