The 2025 Pro Motocross Championship hit the elevated terrain of Colorado’s Thunder Valley Motocross Park for round three at the weekend and we have the video from that.
America’s “Greatest Of All Time” (the GOAT), Ricky Carmichael, was back with fellow US legend Ryan Villopoto to discuss the fallout from Thunder Valley on Saturday, including Australian Jett Lawrence’s climb up the ranks, Aaron Plessinger and when is the right time to pass, Eli Tomac’s mistakes, what’s Jorge Prado’s deal, Chance Hymas’ perfect day in the 250cc class, Haiden Deegan managing bike problems.
The dominant 1-1 performance at Thunder Valley gave Jett Lawrence his third straight overall victory to start the season—his 15th career 1-1 and 18th win in 19 premier class starts, tying him for 10th on the all-time list. Tomac’s (3-2) consistency earned him second overall, while Plessinger (2-5) secured a second consecutive podium in third.
Jett now leads the championship by 25 points over Tomac, with Plessinger dropping to third, 27 points back.
In the overall SMX regular season standings, Cooper Webb retains the top seed, 47 points ahead of Webb, who in turn leads Plessinger by 21 points.
The 2025 Pro Motocross Championship resumes this Saturday, June 14 (Sunday, NZ time), as the series heads east for Round 21 and the 48th annual High Point National in Pennsylvania, continuing the sport’s Father’s Day tradition.
