450 MOTO 1
Haiden Deegan grabbed the holeshot off the start of the first 450 moto with Hunter Lawrence closely in tow. As the duo entered the woods section, Deegan tucked the front end with Lawrence crashing into the back of him. Lawrence remounted in dead last as his championship looked again to be out of reach. The other title favorite, Jett Lawrence, circulated outside the top 15 on lap one.

Up front, Cooper Webb led the way for a brief moment until Jorge Prado moved to the top spot. From there the KTM rider controlled the race for remaining laps to claim his first-ever moto win in the US. Prado dismissed the chaos going on behind him and made it look easy en route to the win.

RJ Hampshire took an easy second place finish for his best result of the season. Cooper Webb crossed the line in third for his best finish after Mikkel Haarup fell win the final few laps.

The championship drama continued to unfold as Hunter Lawrence passed up to eighth after crashing on lap one. He salvaged enough points to maintain the lead going into the final moto of the season. Jett Lawrence aggravated his foot in the qualifying session and rode timid for the entire first moto. He basically let Hunter by at the halfway mark and later finished back in 11th.
450 MOTO 2
Jorge Prado again dominated the second 450 moto en route to 1-1 finishes on the day. Prado grabbed the holeshot and led wire to wire for all 16 laps. This is by far Prado’s best day in the US and makes him the only rider other than a Lawrence to win a moto this summer. Along with his first moto win, Prado also took the overall victory for the first time ever. He finished three points shy of third place in the championship standings.

Second place went to Haiden Deegan. The 450 rookie came out hot in moto two and kept the pressure on Hunter Lawrence in the early stages of the race which forced a mistake. This allowed Deegan to slide through for second which is where he’d remain for the rest of the race. Unfortunately a 16th place finish in race one put him ninth overall.

Jett Lawrence finished third in moto two. After getting his ankle taped up between motos, the reigning champ looked much better than he did earlier in the day. He moved around Hunter right at the halfway mark once Hunter bobbled and the two remained neck-and-neck for the rest of the race. Even with a better result than Hunter in moto two, Jett finished sixth on the day and came up two points short of the championship.

Hunter followed him in for fourth in the moto and with it earned the 450MX championship. A mere two points separated the two brothers after 22 motos this season. This marks Hunter’s first title in the 450 division and sees him rebound after a heartbreaking Supercross season.

RJ Hampshire’s 2-6 scores were enough to put him second overall, his best result of the season. Cooper Webb’s strong result from race one also helped put him on the overall podium, going 3-8 for third in his final round of Pro Motocross.

250 MOTO 1
Chance Hymas kicked off the day with a win in the opening 250 class moto. The Honda HRC rider took over the top spot on lap one after a quick back-and-forth with Julien Beaumer. Hymas looked to be running away with the race win but crashed after 10 minutes and dropped back to fourth. He remounted and put on a charge late in the race and found himself passing again for the lead with three laps to go. Hymas overtook Beaumer and led the final few laps to clinch the moto win.

Beaumer led a number of laps but took second at the line. He fell on the final lap while giving chase to Hymas but had enough gap to still earn a podium result.
Cole Davies crossed the line in third and more importantly clinched the 250 championship. Davies ran up front from the get go but was clearly in championship mode as he didn’t put up a big fight against Hymas or Beaumer. A safe second for the points leader allowed him to mathematically take the title one moto early.

Levi Kitchen crashed twice in the early laps and retired early from the race. His DNF allowed Davies to mathematically cinch the 250 championship.
250 MOTO 2
Cole Davies had nothing to prove going into the final moto of the season especially once his rival Levi Kitchen opted out of the race. With that being said, he started up front yet again with three other Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha riders. He took over the lead within the first five minutes and checked out with the first place position. Once caught by Beaumer later in the race, Davies pace dropped and he later finished outside the top 10.

Julien Beaumer mounted a charge at the halfway mark and found himself knocking on the door for a moto win. He made an easy pass around Cole Davis with 12 minutes remaining and took off with the lead. Beaumer controlled the rest of the race and with it, took the overall win thanks to 2-1 finishes. Beaumer ends the season with his second overall win and more importantly bumps to second in the 250 class points, five points up on Levi Kitchen.

Chance Hymas was the fastest rider on track during the second moto. The Honda HRC rider fell in the first five minutes of the race but remounted and upped the pace. He made multiple passes on each lap and put himself into a podium position with five minutes left in the race. Hymas had the fastest lap of the moto and landed second overall with 1-2, trading moto wins with Beaumer. He tied Kitchen for third in the championship standings.

Ryder DiFrancesco finished third in the moto and ended up third on the day. This is a strong finish to end the season as DiFrancesco rounded out the top five in championship.
