main event, then coming into
the first corner, I guess I hit the
brakes too quickly and stalled
the bike," Plessinger said. "I was
trying to bump start it for about
50 feet and smacked right into
Malcolm [Stewart]. I've got that
confidence back. It's like a light
switch, and I just turned it on
and started having good days."
Roczen finished fourth after
leading the first half of the main
event. The Suzuki rider is openly
place. The fan favorite has
completely turned his season
around, with Seattle marking his
third podium in four weeks. This
is a significant improvement
compared to the zero points he
scored in rounds two and three.
Plessinger typically excels in
rutted conditions, and he started
the night off with a win in his
heat race before running with
the lead pack in the main event.
He kept his KTM upright and
gained a position when Justin
Cooper crashed out of third.
This placed Plessinger on the
podium, trailing his KTM team
-
mate for 2-3 results.
"I
got the best jump out of
the gates I got all day for the
struggling with an AC-separa-
tion injury, and no doubt used all
his
shoulder strength to fight the
tricky Seattle conditions.
Dylan Ferrandis finished
fifth, marking his best result
of the 2025 campaign. Cooper
rebounded from his late-race
crash to finish sixth, ahead of
Stewart, who went off-track
in turn one. Justin Hill, Benny
Bloss and Justin Hill completed
the top 10.

ANDERSON SITS
OUT SEATTLE

tend the Seattle race due to

third-place finishes but now falls
to seventh in the overall points
standings.
EN-ZED
Cole Davies became the second
New Zealand native to win a
Monster Energy AMA Super-
cross main event. The first? His
mentor, Ben Townley. Townley
got his first win at the St. Louis
Supercross on March 3, 2007.
Other noteworthy Supercross
riders from New Zealand include
Daryl Hurley and Cody Cooper.
HUMOR BOY
Haiden Deegan attempted to
lighten the mood regarding his
recent encounter with the law. He
was dressed in all-orange Thor
gear, which seemed to resemble
a jail jumpsuit, and handcuffs
were located around the Monster
Energy Star Racing Yamaha pits.
Briefly...
(Above) Chase Sexton made key
passes and led nine total laps in
the main but was edged out by
Webb at the end. (Left) Aaron
Plessinger earned his third 450SX
podium in four weeks.
