David Muñoz won the FIM Moto3 World Championship race Sunday at Sachsenring, in Germany. Using his Pirelli-shod LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP KTM, the Spaniard won the 23-lap race by just 0.241 second.
Rookie, Maximo Quiles was the runner-up on his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM.
Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Jose Antonio Rueda was third, just 0.250 second behind Muñoz.
Angel Piqueras was fourth on his FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI KTM.
Rueda’s teammate, Alvaro Carpe crossed the finish line fifth.
Polesitter, Scott Ogden crashed his CIP Green Power KTM.
Jose Antonio Rueda leads the championship with 203 points, 73 ahead of Angel Piqueras who has 130 points. Alvaro Carpe is third with 129 points.
Muñoz grabs victory in final corner showdown at the Sachsenring. The #64 was back to his best to put give his home team something to celebrate in Germany.
Moto3 never disappoints and the Sachsenring’s short, sharp layout brings plenty of action; David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) was the one who came out on top to deliver his team a home win, beating Championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) at the last corner, whilst Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) also got ahead of the #99 in a last corner shootout to remember.
Grabbing the holeshot from pole, polesitter Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power) avoided drama behind him as Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) pushed and shoved his way through into P3, slotting in behind a fast-starting David Muñoz. Carpe’s ambitious opening corner pushed David Almansa (Leopard Racing) out wide – Carpe getting a Long Lap Penalty. At the front at Turn 12, Muñoz led. With the Grand Prix settling down, Maximo Quiles moved into P3 whilst Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI), Cormac Buchanan (DENSSI Racing – BOE) and Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) all joined the huge fight at the front.
On Lap 4, the race came to an end for Eddie O’Shea (GRYD MLav Racing) and Leonardo Abruzzo (DENSSI Racing – BOE) in separate incidents whilst on Lap 6, Nicola Carraro (Rivacold Snipers Team) fell and rejoined at Turn 1. A lead group of 15 riders chopped and changed and one of the highlights was Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia), donning his Sunday best and coming into the podium places from 17th on Lap 8. On Lap 9, contact at Turn 2 between Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) and Rueda at Turn 2, taking off Fernandez’s mudguard; at Turn 3, the #31 crashed out. Teammate Almansa fell on Lap 16 at Turn 13 as Rueda’s led the way.
As the final third of the race kicked off, it was without Almansa who fell at Turn 13 trying to fight his way back into contention. At the start of Lap 20, Turn 1 caught out more riders – Yamanaka went into the gravel and behind, Ogden fell out of contention. Rueda led into the last two laps but with Muñoz and Quiles behind, attacks were imminent. Muñoz got his elbows out on the #99 and led at Turn 1 and with a gap behind, it was all about the top two. Rueda hit the front again at Turn 8 but it wasn’t done.
Furusato was back in the mix until he crashed with two corners to go but at the front, Muñoz lunged up the inside in a final corner shootout. He managed to get the job done over Rueda who was pushed wide, bringing Quiles into P2. Muñoz took a second career victory to deliver the goods for the home team with Quiles behind, Championship leader Rueda extending his advantage in P3 and to 73. Piqueras came back through to P4 to retake second in the standings ahead of Carpe who recovered to fifth.
Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) ghosted his way into the top six ahead of Pini who equals his best-ever result. Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) and Buchanan took eighth and ninth, highlighting a strong day for riders from Oceania – Australia in P6 and P8 and New Zealand in P9 and a career-best for the #14 of ‘Mac Attack’. Marcos Uriarte (LEVELUP-MTA) rounded out the top ten whilst behind, it was an impressive comeback from Dennis Foggia (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) from P24 to P11.
MILLVILLE, Minn. – The 2025 Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, kicked off the second half of its summer campaign with an annual visit to the Land of 10,000 Lakes and scenic Spring Creek MX Park. A picture-perfect afternoon set the stage for a memorable day of racing at the FXR Spring Creek National Presented by Frescados Tortillas, which saw the Honda HRC Progressive siblings of Jett and Hunter Lawrence trade moto wins to tie atop the overall classification, with the second moto tiebreaker going to Jett Lawrence for his seventh consecutive victory. In the 250 Class, it was Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan who prevailed with his fifth win of the season to extend his points lead. However, his win was overshadowed by a storybook ending to the decorated career of 32-year-old teammate Jeremy Martin, as the Millville native and two-time champion won his final moto to secure a runner-up finish in front of the hometown crowd.
Jett Lawrence Edges Out Hunter Lawrence Via Tiebreaker at Spring Creek for Seventh Pro Motocross Championship Victory.
Moto 1
The first premier class moto got underway with the Honda HRC Progressive siblings of Jett and Hunter Lawrence leading the way over Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Aaron Plessinger. However, Jett Lawrence lost traction and went down, which caused him to drop outside the top 10 and remount in 15th position. Hunter Lawrence took over the lead from Plessinger, while a battle for third unfolded between Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jorge Prado and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac, with Tomac able to get the upper hand.
As Hunter Lawrence opened a lead of just over two seconds the attention shifted to Jett Lawrence’s climb back up the running order. The young Australian made quick work to break into the top 10 and found himself on the verge of the top five within the first 10 minutes of the moto. Back up front, Tomac closed in on Plessinger to initiate a battle for second, which was short lived as Tomac surged into the runner-up spot. Mere moments after the pass, a three-rider battle for third emerged between Plessinger, his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate Chase Sexton, the defending champion, and a charging Lawrence, who was able to pass both riders in one turn and take control of third. The points leader’s push continued to Tomac, who he caught and passed with ease to take over second.
Nearly 10 seconds separated the Lawrence brothers with about 18 minutes remaining as Sexton made the pass on Tomac for third. An initial charge did see Jett Lawrence gain a little ground on Hunter, but the elder sibling was in top form and cemented his hold on the top spot. Hunter Lawrence took his first moto win of the season and fourth of his career by 15.2 seconds over Jett Lawrence, with Sexton well back in third. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire was fourth, while Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper rounded out the top five.

Moto 2
The final moto of the afternoon was a carbon copy of Moto 1 with the Lawrences leading the way as Jett swept the Pro Motocross Holeshots. Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha’s Coty Schock slotted into third initially but gave way to an aggressive Sexton. The lead trio then set sail and quickly pulled away from the field.
It only took a couple laps for the Lawrences to put distance on Sexton to set up a head-to-head battle for the win. Jett Lawrence’s lap times were impressive in the roughest conditions of the day, but Hunter Lawrence answered to keep the deficit at about 1.5 seconds. They continued to mirror lap times until just past the halfway point, when Jett was able to push his advantage to just over two seconds as they worked through lappers.
The younger Lawrence continued to build on his lead and moved out nearly four seconds clear of Hunter in the closing stages. Jett Lawrence carried on to claim his 11th moto win of the season by 8.9 seconds over his brother, while Sexton followed nearly 50 seconds behind in third.

Overall
With identical results for the Honda teammates, a second moto tiebreaker was needed to solidify the 22nd career win for Jett Lawrence (2-1), who moved into a tie with Rick Johnson for fifth on the all-time 450 Class wins list. Lawrence also sustained his career winning percentage of 95% with 22 victories in 23 starts. Hunter Lawrence amassed his highest point total of the season in second (1-2) to complete the fourth consecutive 1-2 finish for the siblings, while Sexton, in his second race back from an extended layoff, made his debut podium result of the season in third (3-3).
Jett Lawrence’s lead in the championship standings remains at 51 points over Hunter Lawrence, while Cooper, who finished 10th (5-13), sits third, 90 points out of the lead.
Despite his worst result of the summer, Cooper moved into the top spot of the SMX World Championship standings, surpassing his Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing teammate Cooper Webb, who was forced to bow out of the remainder of the Pro Motocross Championship due to injury.

“Hunter [Lawrence] was riding really well and wouldn’t let it go [in Moto 2]. My bike was better, but I had to be patient on the downhills. Hunter kept me honest, but we needed to keep the win streak going and I had to dig deep today to do that.”
“I just need to be faster. If I was faster, I would have passed [Jett Lawrence]. The kid is good. I appreciate how much work the team continues to put into the bike, and it was great today. We’ll keep working.”
3rd Place: Chase Sexton, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing (3-3)
“I felt like my opening laps were better today, but I lost a lot of time on the downhills. We’re pretty good everywhere else but just need to keep working. Those guys [the Lawrences] are riding really good right now.”

Deegan Wins in 250 Class, but Jeremy Martin Steals the Show in Final Race.
Moto 1
The first moto afternoon started with the hometown hero of Martin leading the way to the Pro Motocross Holeshot as the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider began the final race of his career out front, ahead of Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker and Honda HRC Progressive’s Jo Shimoda, while Deegan, who was nursing a leg injury suffered at the previous race, started fourth. With the crowd behind him, Martin looked to assert his hold of the top spot, but Hammaker made a push to take the lead just before the completion of the opening lap. Not long after that, Deegan made the pass on Shimoda for third.
The lead trio then settled in through the first half of the moto, separated by about three seconds. Deegan was able to gradually close in on his teammate’s rear fender and easily took the position. Then, on the following lap, Hammaker went down and gave up the lead, which allowed Deegan to assume first, Martin second, and Shimoda third, as the Kawasaki rider remounted in fourth. Once in the lead, Deegan moved out a couple seconds ahead of his rivals. Shimoda then bided his time behind Martin and made the move for second with just over 10 minutes remaining.
Three seconds separated Deegan and Shimoda in the final phase, but the Japanese rider started to take chunks out of Deegan’s lead, particularly as they navigated lapped riders. Shimoda closed in and seized control of the moto with just under five minutes to go. Deegan kept Shimoda within striking distance and pulled the trigger on a pass to reclaim the lead with just over two minutes remaining, which seemed to catch Shimoda off guard.
Deegan rode strong in the closing laps and fended off a late charge by Shimoda to capture his ninth moto win of the season by just seventh tenths of a second. Martin finished in third, with Triumph Factory Racing’s Mikkel Haarup in a career-best fourth and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Michael Mosiman in fifth.

Moto 2
The second moto began the same way as Moto 1, with Martin able to once again lead the field to the Pro Motocross Holeshot, with Shimoda tucked into second and Triumph Factory Racing’s Jalek Swoll in third. Deegan started eighth. As the top two began a battle for the lead nearly 10 minutes into the moto, Haarup made the pass on his teammate for third and closed in on the leaders. Shimoda then made his move on Martin to take the lead.
As Shimoda pulled away, Martin and Haarup battled it out for second. The Danish rider hounded the former champion, but Martin’s expertise on his family’s track allowed him to fend off the pressure. Not long after, Shimoda briefly went off the track, which allowed Martin to reclaim the lead as Shimoda continued in second. Not too far behind, Deegan closed in on the lead group from fourth and was able to make his way around Haarup for third. He then made the pass on Shimoda for second as the Honda rider appeared to be battling through an issue with his motorcycle. Shimoda then lost third to Haarup and slowly continued to lose positions before settling into fifth.
Back up front, Martin looked to manage a lead of about 2.5 seconds over his teammate with a little more than 10 minutes to go. The Yamaha duo traded bursts of momentum, but the gap between them ultimately remained the same. As the race entered its final five minutes, Martin’s lead grew as he logged the fastest laps on the track and soon enough moved out to an advantage of more than five seconds. He continued to add to his lead and with thousands of home fans cheering him on, Martin claimed the 41st moto win of his career by 7.1 seconds over Deegan. Haarup earned his first moto podium in third while Shimoda made a last lap pass to claim fourth.

Overall
As he’s done all summer long, Deegan rose to the occasion and prevailed with his fifth win of the season (1-2) and 12th win of his career. Martin’s memorable final performance landed him in the runner-up spot (3-1) for the 46th podium finish of his career, one away from the all-time 250 Class record held by Steve Lamson. Shimoda’s ability to salvage positions in the final moto helped him finish third overall (2-4).
Deegan’s lead in the championship now sits at 45 points over Shimoda. Third place is now a tie between Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki teammates Levi Kitchen, who finished sixth (13-6), and Garrett Marchbanks, who finished fifth (7-7), 107 points out of the lead.

1st Place: Haiden Deegan, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing (1-2)
“First, congrats to JMart [Martin]. That was bad ass. All week I’ve been resting my [injured] leg and to come out and get a win, I’m stoked. We’ll look to get back to a normal week and come out swinging next weekend.”
2nd Place: Jeremy Martin, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing (3-1)
“I was definitely tired after Moto 1. We made a slight suspension adjustment, and I knew that if I got a start I could do something. My bike was on rails. It’s been an awful past two or three years [with injuries], but everyone stuck behind me. To do this in front of my family, friends, and this home crowd, it’s just a dream come true.”
3rd Place: Jo Shimoda, Honda HRC Progressive (2-4)
“After I got into the lead [in Moto 2] my rear brake was just totally gone. I couldn’t do much [initially], but later in the moto as the berms built up, I was able to use them to my advantage and find some more speed. It’s not what we wanted but I’m happy to still be on the podium.”

Josh Herrin came back from a massive crash in Friday practice that left his Warhorse HSBK Ducati Panigale V4 R on top of the inflatable barriers to take a narrow win over Bobby Fong on an Attack Performance Progressive Insurance Yamaha. Fong was relentless, even taking a shot at Herrin in the final corner, but Herrin rode defensively where he had to and his bike was faster on the top end. Cameron Beaubier crashed, losing the front end of his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW again, but remounted to finish sixth. Sean Dylan Kelly was running third when he lost the front of his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki entering the Corkscrew and launched it into the air. That handed third to Attack’s Jake Gagne. Honda’s JD Beach was fourth on a Stock 1000-spec machine, and Vision Wheel’s Richie Escalante took fifth.

Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin won his fifth straight MotoAmerica Superbike race on Saturday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, taking full advantage of a miscue by his championship rival Cameron Beaubier to extend his eight-point championship lead to 23 points.
Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Beaubier led from pole position but gave way to Herrin on the third lap. From there, Herrin used his slow-the-pace strategy and led for three more laps before Beaubier went to the front again. Just when it looked like Beaubier was ready to pull the trigger, he tucked the front in turn two and crashed. The five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion was able to remount and finish sixth, scoring 10 points that may prove valuable at season’s end.
If Herrin thought he was going to have it easy after watching Beaubier crash out, he had another thing coming in the form of Bobby Fong. Fong hounded Herrin for the duration but failed in his attempt to take victory with a last-lap, last-corner pass that came up just .367 of-a-second short at the finish line. It was Fong’s fifth second-place finish of the season.
Fong’s teammate Jake Gagne finished third for his sixth-podium finish of the season. Gagne knew he was a bit lucky with Beaubier’s crash in turn two and Sean Dylan Kelly’s crash in the Corkscrew.
Real Steel Honda’s JD Beach turned in a solid performance to finish fourth on his Stock 1000-spec Honda CBR1000RR-R SP, which also earned him victory in the MotoAmerica Superbike Cup Championship.
A beaten and bruised Richie Escalante was fifth on the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki after a second practice crash in two days. Escalante was less than a second behind Beach at the finish and well clear of Beaubier.
BPR Racing’s Bryce Kornbau was seventh, a few seconds ahead of Aftercare Scheibe Racing’s Danilo Lewis. Thrashed Bike Racing’s Max Flinders was ninth with Edge Racing’s Jason Waters rounding out the top 10.
Notable among the non-finishers was Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim, who went out with a mechanical issue, and crashers Kelly, Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates, and FLO4LAW/SBU Racing’s Benjamin Smith.
After nine races, Herrin leads Beaubier, 184-161, and Gagne is third with 141 points. Fong gained some ground on his teammate and now trails him by four points. Escalante rounds out the top five in the series standings with 92 points.

Jake Gagne – Third Place
“Ridge went pretty well. We were closer to Josh (Herrin), Cam (Beaubier), Bobby (Fong), and those guys. I’ve just kind of been a little off pace here all weekend. We’ve been trying to find something to make me a little more comfortable. I was definitely hoping to be closer to those guys. Like I said, I got lucky with those guys going down. Beaubs (Beaubier) going down, and then SDK (Sean Dylan Kelly) went down in the Corkscrew. Then I was just kind of rolling around, trying to think about what we could do, how we could close the gap to these guys because they’ll be rolling. Two races tomorrow, so we’ve got a long day. I want to be in the fight with those guys, but thanks to the team. It’s always good being at Laguna. The crowd is sick. Let’s go racing tomorrow.”
Bobby Fong – Second Place
“Could have, would have, should have. You look back at the race and you’re like, ‘maybe I should have passed here, or I should have passed there.’ But Josh (Herrin) rode a good race. I couldn’t get the job done today, but tomorrow we have two more shots. I think we have a direction on what I want to work on a little bit for tomorrow. It got a little greasy out there, for sure. Once we lose our roll speed on this thing, I’m kind of a sitting duck. I think we can improve on that tomorrow and see if I could put my head down tomorrow and see what we can do. I know Beaubs (Beaubier) will be up there tomorrow. Everybody is going to take another step tomorrow and we’ve just got to do the same.”
Josh Herrin – Winner
“I knew today with my neck being as sore as it is, it was going to be a hard race for me. I knew Cam (Beaubier) had pace. It’s his home track. He’s going to push hard. Lately I’ve been approaching the races different. This guy’s (Beaubier) been my main competition for the last two years and I want to kind of find out what I need to do to try to beat him. Coming into this race, I knew it was going to be hard, but I know that he’s all or nothing. I don’t know if it’s his bike or if it’s just the way that he is, but he’s got to be pushing to the limit the whole time. He can’t slow the pace down and then go back. He’s got to be out there charging from the back or charging from the front. My goal was to just disrupt him a little bit, slow the pace down, throw him off his game a little bit. I knew he’d come back around and try to go hard. That’s when I was counting on the mistakes. As soon as he made the pass, he made the mistake. If you can’t beat him straight up, you got to figure out how to beat him mentally. I think I’ve figured that out. I’m just going to keep playing that as long as I can whenever I need to. We go to tracks where I’m just not as strong as him. That’s just how it is. Sometimes you’ve just got to play that mental warfare and try something a little bit different. Instead of me just taking all the risk and blowing wide all the time, I’m just trying to be smart. It comes with age. It comes with being a father and being patient, I guess. Today it worked out in our favor. It’s not going to always go like that, but today it worked out.”
Still more, from a news release issued by MotoAmerica:
Kyle Wyman (33) leads Loris Baz (76) out of the Corkscrew. Photo by Brian J. Nelson.
Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing’s Kyle Wyman continued his dominant season of Mission King Of The Baggers racing with his fifth win of the season coming on a sunny Saturday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Hayden Gillim led off the start with Wyman in tow, but Gillim’s effort went for naught when his Road Glide expired, spewing oil on the racetrack and bringing out the red flag.
After a delay, the race was restarted, and Wyman led from the start and was never headed. S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Loris Baz kept Wyman honest throughout, coming up a tick over two seconds behind the 23-time King Of The Baggers race winner.
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Rocco Landers was third, taking over the spot when Baz’s teammate Troy Herfoss made a last-gasp effort to pass his teammate going into the Corkscrew. The defending series champion, however, ran wide, which allowed Landers to scoot through to finish third.
Herfoss held on to fourth with the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing Road Glides behind him, ridden by Bradley Smith and James Rispoli.
Saddlemen Race Development’s Cory West, Lyndall Brakes/M3’s Max Flinders and S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Tyler O’Hara was the final finisher in ninth place.
“I definitely expected him to be there, just like last year,” Wyman said of Gillim. “He just goes good here. He had pace all weekend. I was able to pull something out this morning in qualifying, but the conditions in the morning are so much different than the afternoon. I knew that we weren’t going to do any 27s this afternoon. I really didn’t expect that. Obviously, we pretty much did high 28’s most of the race because of the oil dry situation. It wasn’t a surprise to me when I made a mistake on the first lap and Hayden (Gillim) got by. Then to me, I guess I was in front of him for half a lap, so I didn’t really notice the oil until turn five, coming out of three and four. Then it seemed to get worse very quickly. That’s when I was like, ‘I’m out.’ I don’t want any part of this. Sure enough, he nearly went down. Glad he’s all right. Glad nobody went down. It could have been really bad. Then made for a pretty tricky race, with the oil dry and trying to figure out where you could actually put your tires. On the warmup lap, I got out on the curb out of six and almost crashed on the warmup lap there. Just was able to kind of lock in and focus on where you can’t put your wheels. Once I figured out kind of what I could do, then I could try to make a rhythm out of that, and I was able to dip into the 28’s. That’s when I was able to start bridging the gap.
Motovation Supersport – Davis Does It
Strack Racing’s Blake Davis has been looking forward to racing at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and now we know why. The teenager beat two veterans, his veteran teammate Mathew Scholtz and Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen, in winning his second Motovation Supersport race of the season and the third of his young career.
At the end of the first of two 17-lap races, Davis was .756 of a second ahead of Scholtz with Jacobsen 1.9 seconds behind after the three battled for most of the race.
Jacobsen’s championship points lead shrunk to just six points over his rival Scholtz, 182-176, with Jacobsen not overly pleased with some of Scholtz’s on-track antics and complaining of such in the post-race press conference.
Davis is a solid third in the title chase with 132 points, 25 more than Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott, who was ninth in Saturday’s race.
Celtic/Economy Lube+Tire/Warhorse HSBK Ducati’s Cameron Petersen was fourth, .6 of a second behind Jacobsen and some 10 seconds ahead of Altus Motorsports’ Maxi Gerardo.
Rahal Ducati Moto w/Roller Die’s Corey Alexander was sixth and hot on Gerardo’s rear wheel at the finish, and some three seconds ahead of MP13 Racing’s Aiden Sneed, who had his best finish of the season.
Scott and Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s Kayla Yaakov rounded out the top 10.
“I love this place,” Davis said. “I couldn’t wait to get here, especially after the Ridge. I kind of struggled at the Ridge. I always do. I always have a hard time there. So, I was really excited to get out here to Laguna. I knew I could have pace this weekend. The race for me, it just went amazing. It was a little rough start. I wish I could have done better the first lap or two. But from there, I started making moves and got my way to the front. I agree, it was kind of a slow pace out there. I just felt like the track was really slick today. So, ready to get back out tomorrow. Do some more work overnight. Try and find some more pace for the race tomorrow. I felt amazing. Got to lead most of the race. It was just a great time for me.”
Mission Super Hooligan National Championship – Rispoli’s First
A thrilled James Rispoli stood on the top step of the podium in Saturday’s Mission Super Hooligan National Championship race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on Saturday, the New Yorker having won in the class for the first time in his first season on the KWR Harley-Davidson Pan America.
Rispoli took over at the front from Saddlemen Race Development’s Cory West when the defending class champion ran a little wide in turn two to start the third lap. Rispoli didn’t need much of an invitation and he made an inside pass on West. From there it was clear sailing as Rispoli rode to a 2.7-second maiden victory.
Third place went to Rispoli’s KWR Harley-Davidson teammate Cody Wyman after a race-long battle with his teammate Hayden Schultz. Saddlemen Race Development’s Travis Wyman ended up fifth, barely besting the first non-Harley Pan America in the race, ridden by Competition Werkes Racing’s Andy DiBrino.
Edge Racing’s Jason Waters rode his Triumph to seventh, well clear of ARCH Racing’s Corey Alexander. Fighting Charlie’s/HDR’s Hunter Dunham raced his Yamaha to ninth with Strack Racing’s Hawk Mazzotta 10th.
With championship points leader Jake Lewis knocked out of this weekend’s racing after suffering injury in Friday practice, West has moved to within four points of the Saddlemen Race Development rider who had won four of the past races coming into the Laguna round.
“Man, I’m absolutely thrilled,” Rispoli said. “I got the whole HD crew here. I got my teammate on the podium. We got the big dog, Kyle Wyman, at this one. I saw what he did in that challenge, and I was like, ‘I need to throw something, maybe a little 33 chatter on that bad boy. I tried to throw something down. (Cory) West had a great pace out there. He ran a little bit wide and maybe a little bit tight into turn two, but all clear. I just put my head down. It was just really good. My whole bike, the KWR Harley-Davidson, the Pan America is just amazing. Even slapping all this weight on, you just can’t stop us at the moment. We got some great people here. We got the head honcho from Alpinestars here. They support us and give us all these badass suits. The other thing I want to say is, Jake Lewis, I hope you’re healing up right now. I know you’d be up battling with us. So please heal up. Come back to the next race. We want to race you hard. Just heal up, man. Thank you so much to everybody. This one feels so good. The first win. They don’t come easy, but this one feels good.”
SC-Project Twins Cup – Who Else But Di Mario?
Robem Engineering’s Alessandro Di Mario is making a habit out of winning SC-Project Twins Cup races and that doesn’t bode well for anyone else in the class.
Di Mario won his fourth race in a row on Saturday at Laguna Seca, and it was again a runaway with the Kentuckian winning by a tick over nine seconds. Early in the season, Di Mario wasn’t winning, but he was second in those first three races. And he hasn’t lost since race two at Barber on April 4.
The battle for second went the distance with RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki’s Matthew Chapin battling with fellow class rookie Hank Vossberg for the duration. At the finish line it was Chapin by just .124 of a second over Di Mario’s teammate Vossberg.
Karns/TST Industries’ Levi Badie was fourth after a battle with Bad Boys Racing’s Avery Dreher.
“I got the holeshot and I was pretty happy about that,” Di Mario said. “I was like, ‘I’m just going to set the pace.’ But in the first lap, the bike was sliding everywhere. I think the tires were pretty cold. So, it took a lap or two to get up to pace, but I saw the gap increasing so I just tried to be as consistent as possible. I caught a false neutral going up at the Corkscrew, I think around lap seven or eight. Then I caught a lot of lappers, so I slowed down a little bit. I saw a nine-second gap or something. I was like, ‘I’m just going to manage.’ That’s what I did.”
Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing’s Kyle Wyman won a red-flag interrupted Mission King of The Baggers race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on Saturday.

David Muñoz won the FIM Moto3 World Championship race Sunday at Sachsenring, in Germany. Using his Pirelli-shod LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP KTM, the Spaniard won the 23-lap race by just 0.241 second.
Rookie, Maximo Quiles was the runner-up on his CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team KTM.
Red Bull KTM Ajo’s Jose Antonio Rueda was third, just 0.250 second behind Muñoz.
Angel Piqueras was fourth on his FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI KTM.
Rueda’s teammate, Alvaro Carpe crossed the finish line fifth.
Polesitter, Scott Ogden crashed his CIP Green Power KTM.
Jose Antonio Rueda leads the championship with 203 points, 73 ahead of Angel Piqueras who has 130 points. Alvaro Carpe is third with 129 points.
Muñoz grabs victory in final corner showdown at the Sachsenring. The #64 was back to his best to put give his home team something to celebrate in Germany.
Moto3 never disappoints and the Sachsenring’s short, sharp layout brings plenty of action; David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) was the one who came out on top to deliver his team a home win, beating Championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) at the last corner, whilst Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) also got ahead of the #99 in a last corner shootout to remember.
Grabbing the holeshot from pole, polesitter Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power) avoided drama behind him as Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) pushed and shoved his way through into P3, slotting in behind a fast-starting David Muñoz. Carpe’s ambitious opening corner pushed David Almansa (Leopard Racing) out wide – Carpe getting a Long Lap Penalty. At the front at Turn 12, Muñoz led. With the Grand Prix settling down, Maximo Quiles moved into P3 whilst Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI), Cormac Buchanan (DENSSI Racing – BOE) and Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) all joined the huge fight at the front.
On Lap 4, the race came to an end for Eddie O’Shea (GRYD MLav Racing) and Leonardo Abruzzo (DENSSI Racing – BOE) in separate incidents whilst on Lap 6, Nicola Carraro (Rivacold Snipers Team) fell and rejoined at Turn 1. A lead group of 15 riders chopped and changed and one of the highlights was Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia), donning his Sunday best and coming into the podium places from 17th on Lap 8. On Lap 9, contact at Turn 2 between Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) and Rueda at Turn 2, taking off Fernandez’s mudguard; at Turn 3, the #31 crashed out. Teammate Almansa fell on Lap 16 at Turn 13 as Rueda’s led the way.
As the final third of the race kicked off, it was without Almansa who fell at Turn 13 trying to fight his way back into contention. At the start of Lap 20, Turn 1 caught out more riders – Yamanaka went into the gravel and behind, Ogden fell out of contention. Rueda led into the last two laps but with Muñoz and Quiles behind, attacks were imminent. Muñoz got his elbows out on the #99 and led at Turn 1 and with a gap behind, it was all about the top two. Rueda hit the front again at Turn 8 but it wasn’t done.
Furusato was back in the mix until he crashed with two corners to go but at the front, Muñoz lunged up the inside in a final corner shootout. He managed to get the job done over Rueda who was pushed wide, bringing Quiles into P2. Muñoz took a second career victory to deliver the goods for the home team with Quiles behind, Championship leader Rueda extending his advantage in P3 and to 73. Piqueras came back through to P4 to retake second in the standings ahead of Carpe who recovered to fifth.
Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) ghosted his way into the top six ahead of Pini who equals his best-ever result. Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) and Buchanan took eighth and ninth, highlighting a strong day for riders from Oceania – Australia in P6 and P8 and New Zealand in P9 and a career-best for the #14 of ‘Mac Attack’. Marcos Uriarte (LEVELUP-MTA) rounded out the top ten whilst behind, it was an impressive comeback from Dennis Foggia (CFMOTO Gaviota Aspar Team) from P24 to P11.

MILLVILLE, Minn. – The 2025 Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, kicked off the second half of its summer campaign with an annual visit to the Land of 10,000 Lakes and scenic Spring Creek MX Park. A picture-perfect afternoon set the stage for a memorable day of racing at the FXR Spring Creek National Presented by Frescados Tortillas, which saw the Honda HRC Progressive siblings of Jett and Hunter Lawrence trade moto wins to tie atop the overall classification, with the second moto tiebreaker going to Jett Lawrence for his seventh consecutive victory. In the 250 Class, it was Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Haiden Deegan who prevailed with his fifth win of the season to extend his points lead. However, his win was overshadowed by a storybook ending to the decorated career of 32-year-old teammate Jeremy Martin, as the Millville native and two-time champion won his final moto to secure a runner-up finish in front of the hometown crowd.
Jett Lawrence Edges Out Hunter Lawrence Via Tiebreaker at Spring Creek for Seventh Pro Motocross Championship Victory.
Moto 1
The first premier class moto got underway with the Honda HRC Progressive siblings of Jett and Hunter Lawrence leading the way over Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Aaron Plessinger. However, Jett Lawrence lost traction and went down, which caused him to drop outside the top 10 and remount in 15th position. Hunter Lawrence took over the lead from Plessinger, while a battle for third unfolded between Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Jorge Prado and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac, with Tomac able to get the upper hand.
As Hunter Lawrence opened a lead of just over two seconds the attention shifted to Jett Lawrence’s climb back up the running order. The young Australian made quick work to break into the top 10 and found himself on the verge of the top five within the first 10 minutes of the moto. Back up front, Tomac closed in on Plessinger to initiate a battle for second, which was short lived as Tomac surged into the runner-up spot. Mere moments after the pass, a three-rider battle for third emerged between Plessinger, his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing teammate Chase Sexton, the defending champion, and a charging Lawrence, who was able to pass both riders in one turn and take control of third. The points leader’s push continued to Tomac, who he caught and passed with ease to take over second.
Nearly 10 seconds separated the Lawrence brothers with about 18 minutes remaining as Sexton made the pass on Tomac for third. An initial charge did see Jett Lawrence gain a little ground on Hunter, but the elder sibling was in top form and cemented his hold on the top spot. Hunter Lawrence took his first moto win of the season and fourth of his career by 15.2 seconds over Jett Lawrence, with Sexton well back in third. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s RJ Hampshire was fourth, while Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Justin Cooper rounded out the top five.

Moto 2
The final moto of the afternoon was a carbon copy of Moto 1 with the Lawrences leading the way as Jett swept the Pro Motocross Holeshots. Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha’s Coty Schock slotted into third initially but gave way to an aggressive Sexton. The lead trio then set sail and quickly pulled away from the field.
It only took a couple laps for the Lawrences to put distance on Sexton to set up a head-to-head battle for the win. Jett Lawrence’s lap times were impressive in the roughest conditions of the day, but Hunter Lawrence answered to keep the deficit at about 1.5 seconds. They continued to mirror lap times until just past the halfway point, when Jett was able to push his advantage to just over two seconds as they worked through lappers.
The younger Lawrence continued to build on his lead and moved out nearly four seconds clear of Hunter in the closing stages. Jett Lawrence carried on to claim his 11th moto win of the season by 8.9 seconds over his brother, while Sexton followed nearly 50 seconds behind in third.

Overall
With identical results for the Honda teammates, a second moto tiebreaker was needed to solidify the 22nd career win for Jett Lawrence (2-1), who moved into a tie with Rick Johnson for fifth on the all-time 450 Class wins list. Lawrence also sustained his career winning percentage of 95% with 22 victories in 23 starts. Hunter Lawrence amassed his highest point total of the season in second (1-2) to complete the fourth consecutive 1-2 finish for the siblings, while Sexton, in his second race back from an extended layoff, made his debut podium result of the season in third (3-3).
Jett Lawrence’s lead in the championship standings remains at 51 points over Hunter Lawrence, while Cooper, who finished 10th (5-13), sits third, 90 points out of the lead.
Despite his worst result of the summer, Cooper moved into the top spot of the SMX World Championship standings, surpassing his Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing teammate Cooper Webb, who was forced to bow out of the remainder of the Pro Motocross Championship due to injury.

“Hunter [Lawrence] was riding really well and wouldn’t let it go [in Moto 2]. My bike was better, but I had to be patient on the downhills. Hunter kept me honest, but we needed to keep the win streak going and I had to dig deep today to do that.”
“I just need to be faster. If I was faster, I would have passed [Jett Lawrence]. The kid is good. I appreciate how much work the team continues to put into the bike, and it was great today. We’ll keep working.”
3rd Place: Chase Sexton, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing (3-3)
“I felt like my opening laps were better today, but I lost a lot of time on the downhills. We’re pretty good everywhere else but just need to keep working. Those guys [the Lawrences] are riding really good right now.”

Deegan Wins in 250 Class, but Jeremy Martin Steals the Show in Final Race.
Moto 1
The first moto afternoon started with the hometown hero of Martin leading the way to the Pro Motocross Holeshot as the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider began the final race of his career out front, ahead of Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Seth Hammaker and Honda HRC Progressive’s Jo Shimoda, while Deegan, who was nursing a leg injury suffered at the previous race, started fourth. With the crowd behind him, Martin looked to assert his hold of the top spot, but Hammaker made a push to take the lead just before the completion of the opening lap. Not long after that, Deegan made the pass on Shimoda for third.
The lead trio then settled in through the first half of the moto, separated by about three seconds. Deegan was able to gradually close in on his teammate’s rear fender and easily took the position. Then, on the following lap, Hammaker went down and gave up the lead, which allowed Deegan to assume first, Martin second, and Shimoda third, as the Kawasaki rider remounted in fourth. Once in the lead, Deegan moved out a couple seconds ahead of his rivals. Shimoda then bided his time behind Martin and made the move for second with just over 10 minutes remaining.
Three seconds separated Deegan and Shimoda in the final phase, but the Japanese rider started to take chunks out of Deegan’s lead, particularly as they navigated lapped riders. Shimoda closed in and seized control of the moto with just under five minutes to go. Deegan kept Shimoda within striking distance and pulled the trigger on a pass to reclaim the lead with just over two minutes remaining, which seemed to catch Shimoda off guard.
Deegan rode strong in the closing laps and fended off a late charge by Shimoda to capture his ninth moto win of the season by just seventh tenths of a second. Martin finished in third, with Triumph Factory Racing’s Mikkel Haarup in a career-best fourth and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Michael Mosiman in fifth.

Moto 2
The second moto began the same way as Moto 1, with Martin able to once again lead the field to the Pro Motocross Holeshot, with Shimoda tucked into second and Triumph Factory Racing’s Jalek Swoll in third. Deegan started eighth. As the top two began a battle for the lead nearly 10 minutes into the moto, Haarup made the pass on his teammate for third and closed in on the leaders. Shimoda then made his move on Martin to take the lead.
As Shimoda pulled away, Martin and Haarup battled it out for second. The Danish rider hounded the former champion, but Martin’s expertise on his family’s track allowed him to fend off the pressure. Not long after, Shimoda briefly went off the track, which allowed Martin to reclaim the lead as Shimoda continued in second. Not too far behind, Deegan closed in on the lead group from fourth and was able to make his way around Haarup for third. He then made the pass on Shimoda for second as the Honda rider appeared to be battling through an issue with his motorcycle. Shimoda then lost third to Haarup and slowly continued to lose positions before settling into fifth.
Back up front, Martin looked to manage a lead of about 2.5 seconds over his teammate with a little more than 10 minutes to go. The Yamaha duo traded bursts of momentum, but the gap between them ultimately remained the same. As the race entered its final five minutes, Martin’s lead grew as he logged the fastest laps on the track and soon enough moved out to an advantage of more than five seconds. He continued to add to his lead and with thousands of home fans cheering him on, Martin claimed the 41st moto win of his career by 7.1 seconds over Deegan. Haarup earned his first moto podium in third while Shimoda made a last lap pass to claim fourth.

Overall
As he’s done all summer long, Deegan rose to the occasion and prevailed with his fifth win of the season (1-2) and 12th win of his career. Martin’s memorable final performance landed him in the runner-up spot (3-1) for the 46th podium finish of his career, one away from the all-time 250 Class record held by Steve Lamson. Shimoda’s ability to salvage positions in the final moto helped him finish third overall (2-4).
Deegan’s lead in the championship now sits at 45 points over Shimoda. Third place is now a tie between Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki teammates Levi Kitchen, who finished sixth (13-6), and Garrett Marchbanks, who finished fifth (7-7), 107 points out of the lead.

1st Place: Haiden Deegan, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing (1-2)
“First, congrats to JMart [Martin]. That was bad ass. All week I’ve been resting my [injured] leg and to come out and get a win, I’m stoked. We’ll look to get back to a normal week and come out swinging next weekend.”
2nd Place: Jeremy Martin, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing (3-1)
“I was definitely tired after Moto 1. We made a slight suspension adjustment, and I knew that if I got a start I could do something. My bike was on rails. It’s been an awful past two or three years [with injuries], but everyone stuck behind me. To do this in front of my family, friends, and this home crowd, it’s just a dream come true.”
3rd Place: Jo Shimoda, Honda HRC Progressive (2-4)
“After I got into the lead [in Moto 2] my rear brake was just totally gone. I couldn’t do much [initially], but later in the moto as the berms built up, I was able to use them to my advantage and find some more speed. It’s not what we wanted but I’m happy to still be on the podium.”

KurveyGirl.com brings you the results of this weekend’s events.
Josh Herrin came back from a massive crash in Friday practice that left his Warhorse HSBK Ducati Panigale V4 R on top of the inflatable barriers to take a narrow win over Bobby Fong on an Attack Performance Progressive Insurance Yamaha. Fong was relentless, even taking a shot at Herrin in the final corner, but Herrin rode defensively where he had to and his bike was faster on the top end. Cameron Beaubier crashed, losing the front end of his Tytlers Cycle Racing BMW again, but remounted to finish sixth. Sean Dylan Kelly was running third when he lost the front of his Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki entering the Corkscrew and launched it into the air. That handed third to Attack’s Jake Gagne. Honda’s JD Beach was fourth on a Stock 1000-spec machine, and Vision Wheel’s Richie Escalante took fifth.

Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin won his fifth straight MotoAmerica Superbike race on Saturday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, taking full advantage of a miscue by his championship rival Cameron Beaubier to extend his eight-point championship lead to 23 points.
Tytlers Cycle Racing’s Beaubier led from pole position but gave way to Herrin on the third lap. From there, Herrin used his slow-the-pace strategy and led for three more laps before Beaubier went to the front again. Just when it looked like Beaubier was ready to pull the trigger, he tucked the front in turn two and crashed. The five-time MotoAmerica Superbike Champion was able to remount and finish sixth, scoring 10 points that may prove valuable at season’s end.
If Herrin thought he was going to have it easy after watching Beaubier crash out, he had another thing coming in the form of Bobby Fong. Fong hounded Herrin for the duration but failed in his attempt to take victory with a last-lap, last-corner pass that came up just .367 of-a-second short at the finish line. It was Fong’s fifth second-place finish of the season.
Fong’s teammate Jake Gagne finished third for his sixth-podium finish of the season. Gagne knew he was a bit lucky with Beaubier’s crash in turn two and Sean Dylan Kelly’s crash in the Corkscrew.
Real Steel Honda’s JD Beach turned in a solid performance to finish fourth on his Stock 1000-spec Honda CBR1000RR-R SP, which also earned him victory in the MotoAmerica Superbike Cup Championship.
A beaten and bruised Richie Escalante was fifth on the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki after a second practice crash in two days. Escalante was less than a second behind Beach at the finish and well clear of Beaubier.
BPR Racing’s Bryce Kornbau was seventh, a few seconds ahead of Aftercare Scheibe Racing’s Danilo Lewis. Thrashed Bike Racing’s Max Flinders was ninth with Edge Racing’s Jason Waters rounding out the top 10.
Notable among the non-finishers was Real Steel Honda’s Hayden Gillim, who went out with a mechanical issue, and crashers Kelly, Jones Honda’s Ashton Yates, and FLO4LAW/SBU Racing’s Benjamin Smith.
After nine races, Herrin leads Beaubier, 184-161, and Gagne is third with 141 points. Fong gained some ground on his teammate and now trails him by four points. Escalante rounds out the top five in the series standings with 92 points.

“Ridge went pretty well. We were closer to Josh (Herrin), Cam (Beaubier), Bobby (Fong), and those guys. I’ve just kind of been a little off pace here all weekend. We’ve been trying to find something to make me a little more comfortable. I was definitely hoping to be closer to those guys. Like I said, I got lucky with those guys going down. Beaubs (Beaubier) going down, and then SDK (Sean Dylan Kelly) went down in the Corkscrew. Then I was just kind of rolling around, trying to think about what we could do, how we could close the gap to these guys because they’ll be rolling. Two races tomorrow, so we’ve got a long day. I want to be in the fight with those guys, but thanks to the team. It’s always good being at Laguna. The crowd is sick. Let’s go racing tomorrow.”
Bobby Fong – Second Place
“Could have, would have, should have. You look back at the race and you’re like, ‘maybe I should have passed here, or I should have passed there.’ But Josh (Herrin) rode a good race. I couldn’t get the job done today, but tomorrow we have two more shots. I think we have a direction on what I want to work on a little bit for tomorrow. It got a little greasy out there, for sure. Once we lose our roll speed on this thing, I’m kind of a sitting duck. I think we can improve on that tomorrow and see if I could put my head down tomorrow and see what we can do. I know Beaubs (Beaubier) will be up there tomorrow. Everybody is going to take another step tomorrow and we’ve just got to do the same.”
Josh Herrin – Winner
“I knew today with my neck being as sore as it is, it was going to be a hard race for me. I knew Cam (Beaubier) had pace. It’s his home track. He’s going to push hard. Lately I’ve been approaching the races different. This guy’s (Beaubier) been my main competition for the last two years and I want to kind of find out what I need to do to try to beat him. Coming into this race, I knew it was going to be hard, but I know that he’s all or nothing. I don’t know if it’s his bike or if it’s just the way that he is, but he’s got to be pushing to the limit the whole time. He can’t slow the pace down and then go back. He’s got to be out there charging from the back or charging from the front. My goal was to just disrupt him a little bit, slow the pace down, throw him off his game a little bit. I knew he’d come back around and try to go hard. That’s when I was counting on the mistakes. As soon as he made the pass, he made the mistake. If you can’t beat him straight up, you got to figure out how to beat him mentally. I think I’ve figured that out. I’m just going to keep playing that as long as I can whenever I need to. We go to tracks where I’m just not as strong as him. That’s just how it is. Sometimes you’ve just got to play that mental warfare and try something a little bit different. Instead of me just taking all the risk and blowing wide all the time, I’m just trying to be smart. It comes with age. It comes with being a father and being patient, I guess. Today it worked out in our favor. It’s not going to always go like that, but today it worked out.”
Still more, from a news release issued by MotoAmerica:
Kyle Wyman (33) leads Loris Baz (76) out of the Corkscrew. Photo by Brian J. Nelson.
Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing’s Kyle Wyman continued his dominant season of Mission King Of The Baggers racing with his fifth win of the season coming on a sunny Saturday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Hayden Gillim led off the start with Wyman in tow, but Gillim’s effort went for naught when his Road Glide expired, spewing oil on the racetrack and bringing out the red flag.
After a delay, the race was restarted, and Wyman led from the start and was never headed. S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Loris Baz kept Wyman honest throughout, coming up a tick over two seconds behind the 23-time King Of The Baggers race winner.
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson’s Rocco Landers was third, taking over the spot when Baz’s teammate Troy Herfoss made a last-gasp effort to pass his teammate going into the Corkscrew. The defending series champion, however, ran wide, which allowed Landers to scoot through to finish third.
Herfoss held on to fourth with the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing Road Glides behind him, ridden by Bradley Smith and James Rispoli.
Saddlemen Race Development’s Cory West, Lyndall Brakes/M3’s Max Flinders and S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Tyler O’Hara was the final finisher in ninth place.
“I definitely expected him to be there, just like last year,” Wyman said of Gillim. “He just goes good here. He had pace all weekend. I was able to pull something out this morning in qualifying, but the conditions in the morning are so much different than the afternoon. I knew that we weren’t going to do any 27s this afternoon. I really didn’t expect that. Obviously, we pretty much did high 28’s most of the race because of the oil dry situation. It wasn’t a surprise to me when I made a mistake on the first lap and Hayden (Gillim) got by. Then to me, I guess I was in front of him for half a lap, so I didn’t really notice the oil until turn five, coming out of three and four. Then it seemed to get worse very quickly. That’s when I was like, ‘I’m out.’ I don’t want any part of this. Sure enough, he nearly went down. Glad he’s all right. Glad nobody went down. It could have been really bad. Then made for a pretty tricky race, with the oil dry and trying to figure out where you could actually put your tires. On the warmup lap, I got out on the curb out of six and almost crashed on the warmup lap there. Just was able to kind of lock in and focus on where you can’t put your wheels. Once I figured out kind of what I could do, then I could try to make a rhythm out of that, and I was able to dip into the 28’s. That’s when I was able to start bridging the gap.
Motovation Supersport – Davis Does It
Strack Racing’s Blake Davis has been looking forward to racing at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and now we know why. The teenager beat two veterans, his veteran teammate Mathew Scholtz and Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s PJ Jacobsen, in winning his second Motovation Supersport race of the season and the third of his young career.
At the end of the first of two 17-lap races, Davis was .756 of a second ahead of Scholtz with Jacobsen 1.9 seconds behind after the three battled for most of the race.
Jacobsen’s championship points lead shrunk to just six points over his rival Scholtz, 182-176, with Jacobsen not overly pleased with some of Scholtz’s on-track antics and complaining of such in the post-race press conference.
Davis is a solid third in the title chase with 132 points, 25 more than Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Tyler Scott, who was ninth in Saturday’s race.
Celtic/Economy Lube+Tire/Warhorse HSBK Ducati’s Cameron Petersen was fourth, .6 of a second behind Jacobsen and some 10 seconds ahead of Altus Motorsports’ Maxi Gerardo.
Rahal Ducati Moto w/Roller Die’s Corey Alexander was sixth and hot on Gerardo’s rear wheel at the finish, and some three seconds ahead of MP13 Racing’s Aiden Sneed, who had his best finish of the season.
Scott and Rahal Ducati Moto w/XPEL’s Kayla Yaakov rounded out the top 10.
“I love this place,” Davis said. “I couldn’t wait to get here, especially after the Ridge. I kind of struggled at the Ridge. I always do. I always have a hard time there. So, I was really excited to get out here to Laguna. I knew I could have pace this weekend. The race for me, it just went amazing. It was a little rough start. I wish I could have done better the first lap or two. But from there, I started making moves and got my way to the front. I agree, it was kind of a slow pace out there. I just felt like the track was really slick today. So, ready to get back out tomorrow. Do some more work overnight. Try and find some more pace for the race tomorrow. I felt amazing. Got to lead most of the race. It was just a great time for me.”
Mission Super Hooligan National Championship – Rispoli’s First
A thrilled James Rispoli stood on the top step of the podium in Saturday’s Mission Super Hooligan National Championship race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on Saturday, the New Yorker having won in the class for the first time in his first season on the KWR Harley-Davidson Pan America.
Rispoli took over at the front from Saddlemen Race Development’s Cory West when the defending class champion ran a little wide in turn two to start the third lap. Rispoli didn’t need much of an invitation and he made an inside pass on West. From there it was clear sailing as Rispoli rode to a 2.7-second maiden victory.
Third place went to Rispoli’s KWR Harley-Davidson teammate Cody Wyman after a race-long battle with his teammate Hayden Schultz. Saddlemen Race Development’s Travis Wyman ended up fifth, barely besting the first non-Harley Pan America in the race, ridden by Competition Werkes Racing’s Andy DiBrino.
Edge Racing’s Jason Waters rode his Triumph to seventh, well clear of ARCH Racing’s Corey Alexander. Fighting Charlie’s/HDR’s Hunter Dunham raced his Yamaha to ninth with Strack Racing’s Hawk Mazzotta 10th.
With championship points leader Jake Lewis knocked out of this weekend’s racing after suffering injury in Friday practice, West has moved to within four points of the Saddlemen Race Development rider who had won four of the past races coming into the Laguna round.
“Man, I’m absolutely thrilled,” Rispoli said. “I got the whole HD crew here. I got my teammate on the podium. We got the big dog, Kyle Wyman, at this one. I saw what he did in that challenge, and I was like, ‘I need to throw something, maybe a little 33 chatter on that bad boy. I tried to throw something down. (Cory) West had a great pace out there. He ran a little bit wide and maybe a little bit tight into turn two, but all clear. I just put my head down. It was just really good. My whole bike, the KWR Harley-Davidson, the Pan America is just amazing. Even slapping all this weight on, you just can’t stop us at the moment. We got some great people here. We got the head honcho from Alpinestars here. They support us and give us all these badass suits. The other thing I want to say is, Jake Lewis, I hope you’re healing up right now. I know you’d be up battling with us. So please heal up. Come back to the next race. We want to race you hard. Just heal up, man. Thank you so much to everybody. This one feels so good. The first win. They don’t come easy, but this one feels good.”
SC-Project Twins Cup – Who Else But Di Mario?
Robem Engineering’s Alessandro Di Mario is making a habit out of winning SC-Project Twins Cup races and that doesn’t bode well for anyone else in the class.
Di Mario won his fourth race in a row on Saturday at Laguna Seca, and it was again a runaway with the Kentuckian winning by a tick over nine seconds. Early in the season, Di Mario wasn’t winning, but he was second in those first three races. And he hasn’t lost since race two at Barber on April 4.
The battle for second went the distance with RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki’s Matthew Chapin battling with fellow class rookie Hank Vossberg for the duration. At the finish line it was Chapin by just .124 of a second over Di Mario’s teammate Vossberg.
Karns/TST Industries’ Levi Badie was fourth after a battle with Bad Boys Racing’s Avery Dreher.
“I got the holeshot and I was pretty happy about that,” Di Mario said. “I was like, ‘I’m just going to set the pace.’ But in the first lap, the bike was sliding everywhere. I think the tires were pretty cold. So, it took a lap or two to get up to pace, but I saw the gap increasing so I just tried to be as consistent as possible. I caught a false neutral going up at the Corkscrew, I think around lap seven or eight. Then I caught a lot of lappers, so I slowed down a little bit. I saw a nine-second gap or something. I was like, ‘I’m just going to manage.’ That’s what I did.”

Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
