2025 SALT LAKE CITY SUPERCROSS PRE-RACE REPORT: INJURY REPORT, TV SCHEDULE & MORE
We have made it to the final round of the 2025 Supercross season. The 250 West championship was claimed by Haiden Deegan but the East division as well as the 450 class are still very much alive. In the East, we have Tom Vialle leading by just one point over Seth Hammaker, and he sits just two points in front of R.J. Hampshire which means if any of the three riders win the race they will become the champion. It will not be that simple though as it is an East/West showdown so they will be dealing with riders like Haiden Deegan, Julien Beaumer, and Cole Davies. It will be interesting to see how it shakes up. In the 450 class, Cooper Webb sits in the driver’s seat and just needs to score a fifth or better to take the championship. But as we’ve seen many times in the past, anything could happen and as for Chase Sexton, he needs to make sure he gets out from and maximizes the amount of points he can. A great night of racing lies ahead.
2025 SALT LAKE CITY SUPERCROSS // FULL COVERAGE
ALL OR NOTHING
Seth Hammaker preparing for battle.
It will take some of the best riding we’ve seen this season for one of three riders to take the title. Seth Hammaker was extremely fast in the recent weeks but some struggles in Pittsburgh put Tom Vialle on top. Hammaker needs to make sure he stays in front of both him and R.J. Hampshire this weekend.
Tom Vialle is attempting to defend his 2024 championship.
Tom Vialle has not been the fastest rider this season but by far has been the most consistent. He just recently grabbed his first win of the season but prior to that, he had multiple podium finishes even on weekends when the competition was buried in the field. Tom Vialle has been in this situation before and has the mental strength to get the job done.
R.J. Hampshire was the 2024 West division champion.
Speaking of tough one of the toughest riders on the track is R.J. Hampshire. He was the 2024 West champion but due to an injury he received while testing prior to the season start, they made the decision to head East. R.J. has had some highs and lows this season but is right there in the hunt for the championship. And for R.J. second or third just doesn’t cut it.
2025 SALT LAKE CITY SUPERCROSS RACE DAY SCHEDULE
‘The track looks challenging this weekend with multiple technical rhythm sections one of which leads into the whoops. We also see the addition of a sand section which we had been missing in the previous weekends.

INJURED LIST:
KEN ROCZEN – SHOULDER/LEG
Ken Roczen to miss the final race of the season.
Ken Roczen had been battling injuries for the majority of the season. As things began to wind down, he and the team felt it was best to not go racing and take time to recover. Ken still sits in third in the point standings but Justin Cooper has a chance to make that up this weekend in Salt Lake City.
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 for the remainder of the season but surprisingly he is already back on the bike.
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 will be out for the rest of the Supercross season.
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 has been seen back on the bike training for outdoors.
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
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.”
CAMERON MCADOO – KNEE
Cameron McAdoo hurt his knee prior to the season starting. He decided to ride and was actually one of the top riders in the class each week. He aggravated the injury mid-way through the season and it was in his best interest to get it fixed. He will be out for the remainder of the year.
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.
