Representing the United States at the FIM Trial des Nations will be Josh Roper, Alex Myers and Will Myers on the men’s team, while Maddie Hoover, Kylee Sweeten and Abigail Buzzelli will compete for the women’s team.

The AMA will also send a pair of riders to the Trial des Nations Challenge, which is a special competition that allows younger riders to compete in an FIM Championship. The U.S. TDN Challenge Team will include Ryon Land and Kylie Glueck — who competed in the competition in 2024.

“Representing the United States on the world stage is an incredible honor — not just for our riders, but for everyone in the American trials community who supports this journey,” USA Trial des Nations Team Manager Daniel Blanc said. “We’re building a team rooted in talent, commitment, and a deep love for the sport, and we’re ready to show the world what we can do. Visit Mototrials.com/tdn to see how you can support the team.”

As the premier international trials event, the FIM Trial des Nations is the ultimate competition. With each competing nation fielding two teams, a men’s and women’s team each consisting of three riders, riders battle for international glory for their home country.

Each year, Team USA is tasked with raising money for the trip to the event. Donations are greatly appreciated, and those looking to support the U.S. riders can do so by visiting www.mototrials.com/tdn.html.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (May 11, 2025) —

The American Motorcyclist Association congratulates the three champions of the 2025 AMA Supercross season, which wrapped up Saturday, May 10, in Salt Lake City.

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Cooper Webb earned his third 450 AMA Supercross title, becoming just the seventh racer to win at least three titles in that class. Webb’s championship ended a stretch of two consecutive titles by Honda HRC racers, while marking Yamaha’s first class win since Eli Tomac claimed the 450 title in 2022. 

The 250 West class previously wrapped up in Round 16, as Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan secured the title with a win in Denver. 

The 250 East class was deadlocked entering the final round of the season, with Tom Vialle, Seth Hammaker and R.J. Hampshire separated by only three points. Vialle ultimately claimed the title with a third-place finish during the East/West Showdown in Salt Lake City. 

“The 2025 AMA Supercross season was unlike any other, with a trio of intense championship races and incredible racing action throughout the series,” AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman said. “All of us at the AMA congratulate the 2025 AMA Supercross champions — Cooper Webb, Haiden Deegan and Tom Vialle — and their respective teams for an outstanding season of competition.”

After battling neck-and-neck with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton throughout the season — with the title coming down to the final round of the season — Webb did just enough to hold off Sexton to earn his third 450 class crown. With five wins this season, Webb captured 365 points en route to the title.

“[This third championship] means everything,” Webb said. “You don’t know how many nights I’ve woken up just wanting to get this again. And I never thought I’d be here again, so never give up on yourself. Never cut yourself short. I’m not maybe the best, but man, when you put your mind to something [then] you get it done … I knew I wasn’t done after those [previous] two [championships]. This feels freakin’ awesome, man. Never give up on yourself, kids!”

Deegan captured his first-career AMA Supercross 250 title behind a Round 16 victory in Denver, in which he used a late pass to hold off teammate Cole Davies, to claim the class trophy. Deegan led the class for most of the season and clinched the championship with 221 points and four wins across 10 races. 

“This [Championship] means a lot to me because people doubted me all the way,” Deegan said in Denver. “They [were] telling me I was all hype coming into [AMA] Supercross and motocross … We’re the champ now, and let’s go, baby!” 

The 250 East title race was a dead heat throughout the season, with three racers battling for the crown while enduring week-to-week changes at the top of the class standings. In the end, it was Vialle left standing at the end of the season. 

Entering the final round with a one-point advantage, Vialle held off Hammaker and Hampshire — finishing in third place while Hammaker landed in fourth and Hampshire fell to sixth — in Salt Lake City to claim the class title. Vialle finished the season with 180 points, while landing on the podium six times — including one win.

“I had a great start,” Vialle said. “My first five or six laps were actually really good. I was feeling good, and I was like, ‘Okay, this is mine.’ And [then] I started to make a few mistakes and Seth and RJ got me. They got a little gap, and my only chance was that…if something happened to [Hammaker and Hampshire’, and that’s what happened tonight. I feel like that was all year, the whole Championship has been up and down, and I could capitalize tonight, and I’m really pumped.” 

The AMA also congratulates Cole Davies, who was named Rookie of the Year in the 250 classes.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (May 6, 2025) — Thirty-one riders will represent the United States at the 99th FIM International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), with 10 Trophy and 21 Club Team riders set to compete in Bergamo, Italy, from Aug. 24-29.

The U.S. World Trophy, Junior World Trophy and Women’s World Trophy teams will include 10 Trophy riders. Each participating country can allocate four riders to its World Trophy team, three riders aged 23 or younger on its Junior Trophy team, and three female riders on its Women’s Trophy Team.

The United States enjoyed an outstanding showing at the 2024 FIM ISDE as the Women’s World Trophy team captured its second-consecutive title, and the World Trophy and Junior World Trophy teams secured podium finishes.

“New year, same goal, and nearly the same team as 2024,” ISDE Team Manager Antti Kallonen, who is also KTM’s Director of Offroad Racing, said. “I’m really happy to continue working with nearly the same riders as last year.” 

Eying a return to the top of the podium in 2025, the 2025 U.S. World Trophy Team will include Johnny Girroir, Cody Barnes, Josh Toth and Dante Oliveira.

“Our Trophy team stays unchanged from last year,” Kallonen said. “These riders have continued their progress in sprint enduro style racing and Cody switching to 450 this year has made a big difference in his speed, and I feel very good about our Trophy Team’s overall speed now.”

Going for its third-straight ISDE crown, the 2025 U.S. Women’s World Trophy Team will return the dominant trio of Rachel Gutish, Korie Steede and Brandy Richards.

“Our Women’s Team is solid despite Brandy Richards being currently sidelined with an injury [so far this season], but she is scheduled to be back on the bike well before we head to Italy to lead the team for another successful Six Days,” Kallonen said.

With its sights set on an ISDE championship, the 2025 U.S. Junior Trophy Team will consist of Grant Davis, Cooper Jones and Mateo Oliveira.

“Our Junior team is seeing a slight last-minute rider line-up change as Jason Tino, who was slated to be on the team, got sidelined with an injury,” Kallonen added. “Luckily, we have a deep pool of talent to choose from and our riders will be fighting for that top step of the podium again.”

The AMA’s East and West Coast qualifiers resulted in the qualification of 21 U.S.-represented club teams:

Team Rabaconda

• Joseph Cunningham
• Cole Whitmer
• Thorn Devlin

Team GTBN

• Layton Smail
• Jaden Dahners

The 2025 AMA Supercross 450SX Championship will all come down to the final week.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton kept his title hopes alive on Saturday, May 3, in Denver, by claiming a runaway victory at Empower Field at Mile High. Sexton pulled within nine points of class leader Cooper Webb of Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, who finished in second place in Mile High City.

“To be honest I was a little fired up,” Sexton said. “I knew I was faster tonight, so I wanted to get out front and break away, and that’s what I did. Another win, sixth one of the season. Yeah, just trying to go out there and show that I’m the best rider.”

Sexton outpaced Webb by 8.624 seconds to claim the victory, while Webb held off a fierce pursuit from Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper, who finished just 0.447 behind Webb.

With the win, Sexton jumped to 338 points on the season while Webb maintained his lead with 347 points with one week remaining in the 2025 AMA Supercross season. The title race will come down to the final round of the season in Salt Lake City on Saturday, May 10.

While the 450SX title race remains heated, the 250SX West class wrapped up in Denver.

Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan secured the 250SX West Championship after a late pass of teammate Cole Davies — which sent Davies off the track, causing him to finish in fifth place — with just two laps remaining.

Finishing alongside Deegan was Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Julien Beaumer, who finished in second place, while Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Garrett Marchbanks rounded out the podium.

Deegan holds a 25-point advantage over Davies, however since Deegan has collected more second-place finishes, he officially clinched the 250SX West title.

The 450SX and 250SX East championship races will come down to the final week of the season in Salt Lake City on May 10. The racing action will start at 4:30 p.m. and will be streamed live on Peacock.

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (April 29, 2025) — The American Motorcyclist Association congratulates Alexander Fedortsov of Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha, who claimed the 2025 SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship on Saturday, April 26, in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“It was a terrific season of SMX Next racing, and Alexander Fedortsov proved that he is one of the brightest up-and-comers in our sport with the way he raced in Pittsburgh,” AMA Director of Racing Mike Pelletier said. “Congratulations to Alexander, and we cannot wait to see how his AMA Supercross career pans out going forward.”

Fedortsov held off a fierce pursuit from Kawasaki Team Green’s Landen Gordon and Enzo Temmerman to ascend to the top of the podium and claim the AMA National No. 1 plate.

Fedortsov’s quest to the SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship was a story of perseverance. The Hallandale, Fla., native battled bad luck across the four qualifying events, where he held leads in multiple races. While in the front of the pack in Daytona Beach, Fla., on March 1, Fedortsov sustained a flat tire, ending his chances for a major win.

But, on Saturday in Pittsburgh, Fedortsov was untouchable. Despite crossing the holeshot stripe in fourth place, he dashed to the front of the pack and produced a clean race to claim the ultimate crown and AMA National No. 1 plate.

“[It] feels insane. Honestly, I can’t believe I did it. I keep thinking about it, and it’s like I had a [lock on the win] every time, and I kept losing. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s something wrong with me or something… I just needed to get it done,’” Fedortsov said. “I had a great start, passed my teammate right away, and just checked out a little bit and had a really great race. I felt great on the track. No better place to do that, honestly. I’m so excited.” 

While the SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship concluded in Pittsburgh, there are still two rounds left of the 2025 AMA Supercross season. With all three title races still left to be decided, you’re not going to want to miss any of the action.

Cooper Webb made a remarkable statement where the three rivers meet in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider withstood a fierce pursuit from Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton to extend his title lead with just two rounds remaining in the 2025 AMA Supercross season. Sexton pushed Webb to the edge, making a pair of late charges for the lead, but Webb was able to hold off the La Moille, Ill., native to secure the win at Acrisure Stadium.  

“It’s been a heck of a fight, and a rough two weeks, especially last week,” Webb said. “So, it was much needed tonight. It was an incredible main event. We were going for it and if I made one little mistake, I knew he was going to get me. So, you want to talk about pressure, that was a lot.”

Webb’s teammate, Justin Cooper, also rose to the podium with a third-place finish.

With Webb and Sexton in a dead heat for the 450SX crown, the Yamaha rider’s victory loomed large in the overall title race. With the pair well ahead of the field, Webb jumped to 325 points on the season with the win while Sexton followed with 313 points.

The 250SX East title race also received a massive shift in Pittsburgh, with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle reclaiming the lead with a tight victory over Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Nate Thrasher. Vialle held off a late push from Thrasher, winning by just 1.637 seconds over the Yamaha rider.

“Coming into this round I pretty much had to win. And I delivered tonight so that feels really good,” Vialle said. “This track was tough tonight, but I had some good lines for the main event and could make the pass at the end. This one feels good, and I’m lucky to have the chance to fight for the title in Salt Lake City.”

Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha’s Maximus Vohland registered his first-career podium finish, standing alongside Vialle and Thrasher following the race.

It’s anybody’s guess who will walk away with the 250SX East crown. Vialle (160), Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker (159) and Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s R.J. Hampshire (158) find themselves separated by three total points with one race remaining — the Dave Coombs Sr. East/West Showdown in Salt Lake City on May 10.

The SMX Next — Supercross AMA National Championship was also on the line in Pittsburgh on April 26. Claiming the title as the nation’s best amateur Supercross rider was Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha’s Alexander Fedortsov, who held off pursuits from Kawasaki Team Green’s Landen Gordon and Enzo Temmerman.

“[It] feels insane. Honestly, I can’t believe I did it,” Fedortsov said. “I had a great start, passed my teammate right away, and just checked out a little bit and had a really great race. I felt great on the track. No better place to do that, honestly. I’m so excited.”

Just two rounds remain in the 2025 AMA Supercross season, and all three titles are still up for grabs. Don’t miss out on Round 16, as the series shifts to Denver on May 3, with gate-drop set for 4:30 p.m. All racing action will be streamed live on Peacock.

In a race with giant implications in the 450SX title chase of the 2025 AMA Supercross season, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton jetted away from the pack to secure a massive win for his championship chances.

Sexton left no doubt in the win, securing the holeshot and leading for all 24 laps to run away with the victory at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The victory left Sexton just nine points behind class leader Cooper Webb of Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing with three rounds remaining in the 2025 AMA Supercross season.

“The KTM group has the bike working great. I had such a good flow that moto, and it really just felt like it was effortless for me, which is what we want,” Sexton said. “[We’ll just try to] keep that going, but I’m stoked. Fifth win of the season, so just try to keep truckin’ and focus week in/week out and see where we get. Overall, [I’m] having fun. I got a great start and made it happen.”

Webb maintained his hold on second place throughout the race, trailing Sexton by as many as 18 seconds at one point. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Aaron Plessinger earned the final podium spot at MetLife Stadium, finishing 29 seconds behind Sexton.

Webb reached 300 points on the season with his second-place finish in New Jersey, while Sexton jumped to 291 points after the win. The two have separated themselves from the rest of the field, as the next closest contender, Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen, sits at 255 points.

In the 250SX East class, Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker became the first racer to win multiple races in the division with a near-flawless ride at MetLife Stadium.

The Bainbridge, Pa., native led every lap to dominate the field en route to the win, boosting himself to the top of the 250SX East class standings — just three points clear of second-place R.J. Hampshire of Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing. Hampshire finished four seconds behind Hammaker, while Tom Vialle of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing finished in third place.

“It feels really good to get another win and have the red plate solo now,” Hammaker said. “Two more rounds, [and] this championship’s still really tight. Looking forward to some more great battling in the future.”

The top three finishers on Saturday represented the three racers at the top of the overall standings. Hammaker surged into first place with 142 points on the season, with Hampshire and Vialle following with 139 and 135 points, respectively.

The AMA Supercross season continues Saturday, April 26, at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pa., with the festivities set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The racing action will be streamed live on Peacock.
