    2025 SEATTLE SUPERCROSS PRE-RACE REPORT: INJURY REPORT, TV SCHEDULE & MORE

    We’re heading back to the West Coast for the eleventh round of the 2025 Supercross series as we head to Seattle. Last weekend Chase Sexton was able to grab the win and inch his way closer to the Championship leader Cooper Webb. The two riders have begun to stretch their lead over the rest of the pack as Ken Roczen is battling a shoulder injury and has lost points the last few weekends. We are also heading back to the 250 West division where Haiden Deegan is the current points leader followed by Julien Beaumer. Haiden Deegan has begun to stretch his lead in the last few rounds and is looking to capitalize again in Seattle.

    REMAINING CONSISTENT

    Cooper Webb is the current 450-point leader.

    It has never been a secret that consistency wins championships, and through the years Cooper Webb has been one of the best riders at doing so. He may not always be the fastest rider on the track, but he puts himself in a position that limits mistakes even on his bad days. Last weekend in Birmingham it was a triple crown event and Webb went down early in the first main. He was able to make up positions to improve his result by the final main which he took the win in. By doing so he took fourth overall and only gave a few points back to Chase Sexton.

    2025 SEATTLE SUPERCROSS RACE DAY SCHEDULE

    Seattle is one of the more difficult tracks in the series. The soft dirt makes the track break down and become very difficult to manage. This week we see a few technical rhythm sections as well as a long whoop section. This week we will not be seeing a sand section which is a change of pace.

    INJURED LIST:

    HUNTER LAWRENCE – SHOULDER

    Hunter has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury. 

    Hunter Lawrence has been diagnosed with a raised and partially torn labrum in his right shoulder, along with multiple cracks in his humerus bone. He had surgery on the labrum on Thursday, February 13, in Orange County, California, and because his expected recovery time is eight to 10 weeks, he is likely to miss the remainder of the Supercross season.

    ELI TOMAC – BROKEN FIBULA 

    Eli Tomac stayed tough through the entire night of racing in Tampa even though he could be seen in visible pain. He even raced the 450 Main with a broken Fibula. He will not be returning in the foreseen future.

    Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac will sit out the upcoming rounds of Monster Energy AMA Supercross to recover from a broken leg sustained during qualifying at Round 5 of the championship last weekend in Tampa, Florida. It was initially thought to be an ankle sprain and bruised calf, but upon further evaluation after the weekend, it was discovered that he had a broken Fibula.

    LEVI KITCHEN – BACK / COLLARBONE

    Levi Kitchen went down hard at the Daytona Supercross when he was kicked over the bars down a very fast section of the track. As a result, he ended up breaking his Collarbone and a few vertebrae in his back. Levi will be out the remainder of the season and it is unclear of his return.

    PIERCE BROWN – BACK

    Pierce Brown had a tough crash while leading the race in Tampa which resulted in a T5 break to his back.

    “I felt great all night, leading my heat and main. Halfway through the main, I crashed in the whoops and unfortunately broke my T5 vertebrae. I had surgery to get it fixed so that I could get back to racing. I want to thank all my family, friends, fans, and the team for all of their support.”

    JETT LAWRENCE – KNEE

    This is the moment of disaster for Jett Lawrence’s right knee.

    Jett Lawrence had an incident early in the season at the  Glendale Supercross when he dabbed his knee on the ground, resulting in a torn ACL. The defending champion immediately pulled off the track and was unable to finish. After an MRI on the following Monday, it became clearer that he had torn his ACL. Jett has already gone under the knife to get it repaired. He will be missing the rest of the Supercross season and it’s unlikely that he’ll be ready to race by the time the Pro Motocross season starts in May.

    JORGE PRADO – SHOULDER

    Jorge Prado will be out for the rest of the Supercross season. 

    Unfortunately, Jorge Prado dislocated his shoulder in qualifying at Anaheim 2 and he will miss the rest of the 2025 Supercross season. The World Champion returned home to Spain to get his shoulder repaired and he is now on the road to recovery.

    Jorge Prado stated:“Bad news: Surgery is needed to fix my shoulder and I will be out for the rest of the Supercross season. The time of rehab is unknown and hopefully, I can make it to the start of outdoors. I will be back strong like I always do.”

    STILEZ ROBERTSON – WRIST

    22-year-old Stilez Robertson has had a tough go with injuries.  

    Stilez Robertson sat out the entire 2024 season with a wrist injury. He was scheduled to race 250 East series for Triumph alongside Jalek Swoll, but things changed the week of Anaheim 1. Jalek got injured, and the team decided to switch Austin Forkner from West to East to fill Jalek’s void. They moved Stilez to the West division to accompany Jordon Smith. Sadly, Stilez aggravated his wrist at San Diego. He had to undergo surgery and will be out for the remainder of the season.

    RYDER DIFRANCESCO – DAMAGED INTESTINE, ARM

    Ryder Difrancesco was fourth at Anaheim 1 and fifth at San Diego at the start of the season. 

    Sean Murphy, Team Manager for the Rockstar GasGas Team Manager said:“I am gutted that we share the news of Ryder D’s practice crash at RD Field yesterday. Ryder was immediately transported to the hospital, where he was evaluated for his injuries. In just his second year of racing Supercross, Ryder had been showing incredible potential and was making significant strides toward the podium. This setback early in the season is gut-wrenching, as Ryder was on an upward trajectory, improving with each round. Our rider’s safety and health will always be our top priority, and we will ensure that Ryder takes the necessary time to recover fully and come back stronger.”

    Additionally, Ryder’s Mom, Lisa DiFrancesco, posted an update on Instagram: “Randy and I owe no explanations to Ryder’s injuries to anyone, and neither does the team. For those who are spreading and posting false information, please STOP; a simple prayer is more appropriate. I will, though, set the record straight. Ryder had a crash on his dirt bike the Thursday before A2. He suffered an injury to his small intestine, which was torn in two. The medical team had to remove some damaged intestine and his damaged appendix. They successfully reconstructed the intestine and put it back together. He also has a broken rib and arm, which are minor issues and the least of our worries compared to the rest. Ryder has been discharged from the hospital, is resting at home, and is on the path to recovery. To all those who have prayed for Ryder and sent heartfelt messages, thank you; Randy and I are very grateful. Ryder has an amazing team of people behind him that will help him return to racing his dirt bike.”

    TALON HAWKINS – FEMUR

    Talon Hawkins had a scary crash at San Diego when he attempted to seat bounce into one of the larger rhythm sections, sending him off the back of the bike and on the ground hard. As a result, he ended up breaking his femur and will be out for the rest of the Supercross season. 


    NOAH VINEY – SHOULDER

    MCR Honda rider Noah Viney cased the famous San Diego Supercross quad during qualifying and dislocated his shoulder. He tried to ride the next session that day, but he wasn’t able to do it. He will miss the remainder of the Supercross season. 

    JALEK SWOLL – ACHILLES

    Jalek Swoll was originally supposed to race 250SX East, but now he will miss the Supercross season entirely. 

    Jalek Swoll sustained an Achilles tear while practicing on Tuesday before Anaheim 1. Because of this, Triumph knew he wouldn’t be back on the bike in time to race 250 East, and they didn’t want to put Stilez Robertson (fresh off a season-long wrist injury) as their only rider on the 250 East Coast by himself. So, they pulled Austin Forkner from the West Coast lineup and moved him to be their lone rider representing Triumph on the East. It is not determined when we will see Jalek back on the bike.

    JETT REYNOLDS – FEMUR

    Jett Reynolds had a practice crash while training for Seattle where he ended up breaking his femur. He will be out for the remainder of the season.

    Mike Bonacci said: “I regret to announce that Jett Reynolds had a fluke crash while training on Friday and suffered a broken leg. It will unfortunately take him out of racing for the balance of the Supercross season. He had surgery at 6 am this morning and will start his rehabilitation process next week. As you have seen, Jett was making great progress in the Supercross series and on the way to his best overall performance in his young career. He is obviously disappointed but will fight his way back to be even stronger for the outdoor series in May. Please wish him well.”

    CASEY COCHRAN – LEG INJURY

    Casey Cochran had a crash in the offseason where he unfortunately had broken his femur. He has recently been back on the bike, but it was reported that the injury was still lingering. It is unclear if he will be lining up in the near future.

    450 POINT STANDINGS

    Cooper Webb had battled through the day at the last round in Birmingham as a crash in the first main hurt his overall hopes. Chase Sexton had better starts in Birmingham where he had been struggling in the past. Sexton would take the overall with 1-1-2 race finishes and he would close the gap in points with Cooper Webb ever so slightly.

    250 WEST COAST DIVISION POINTS STANDINGS

    In Indianapolis for the East/West Showdown, Haiden Deegan was able to extend his points lead even further as he finished third on the night but Julien Beaumer slid back in the pack which will hurt his championship hopes. Deegan now sits in the driver’s seat with a comfortable lead.
