ROUND 14 / APRIL 19, 2025 METLIFE STADIUM / EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY SUPERCROSS I MONSTER ENERGY AMA SUPERCROSS / SUPERMOTOCROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P70 450SX Win, win, win. That's all Chase Sexton can do in the final few rounds of the 2025 season. That's exactly what he did on Saturday night for the second weekend in a row and for the fifth time this season. He came into the night 12 points behind Cooper Webb, but Sexton didn't let that deter his efforts. The KTM rider started up front with the holeshot and led ev - ery lap of the 450SX main event. He didn't just win, he dominated. Sexton unlocked a new rhythm lane early in the main event and 51 JUSTIN BARCIA 18TH 450SX Justin Barcia ran third for most of the 450SX main event but crashed with just four laps remaining. "AP [Pless- inger] and I were battling for a while, then I think he made a mistake and I gapped him," Barcia said. "Then I hit a soft spot in the whoop section, which sent me into an endo. I'm a little tore up and bruised up." 83 AUSTIN FORKNER 7TH 250SX Austin Forkner matched his season- best finish with a seventh place. "I qualified well and could see improve- ments in both my aggression and riding. I was third in the heat before a crash but still ended up fourth. I had a good start in the main event. I just did not have the intensity at the start of the race. I was a little pumped up around halfway and was jumping the second set of the whoops but hit a hole and ended up crashing out of fifth. I got seventh, which is still progress." MYOWNRACE Chase Sexton made it two wins in a row and cut another three points off the gap to the 450SX Championship lead.
