The 2025 Red Bud National is round six of the eleven round Pro Motocross season, and it comes with the entrance of a new OEM and the return of multiple riders. Ducati and Antonio Cairoli are racing today, their first race in the U.S. with the brand new Desmo450. And defending 450MX Champion, Chase Sexton, is returning to the series today after his crash at the Pala season opener.

450 MOTO 1 RESULTS

Jett Unstoppable.

Hunter Lawrence got off to a good start with R.J. Hampshire and Jorge Prado behind him. Jett was fourth, but passed into third quickly and Antonio Cairoli was up front early as well, but he dropped back quickly to the tenth place range. Aaron Plessinger made his way into third after a few laps, but then he came under fire from Beat Mode, Eli Tomac, who snatched the last podium spot away from the number seven. Then, just past the halfway point, Eli Tomac’s YZ450F started to overheat and eventually it let go, and he had to relinquish his podium spot back to Plessinger. Then, R.J. Hampshire and Justin Cooper pressed forward to take third and fourth, while Plessinger slipped back.

Hunter Lawrence led for a few laps, but eventually he was passed by his brother, who slowly pulled away to a 16-second lead at the finish ahead of his brother.

 R.J. Hampshire grabbed his first-career 450MX moto podium at Red Bud. He was proud on the podium!

Chase Sexton’s first ride back wasn’t what he was hoping it would be. 

Justin Barcia scored eighth in the first moto at Red Bud. 

The Kawasaki crew went all-out for USA this weekend.
