Julien Beaumer earned a
second-place result. The Red
Bull KTM rider topped both
qualifying sessions early in the
day and showed serious speed
on the familiar hard-packed
conditions. Beaumer battled for
third and looked to round out
the box until Davies' off-track
incident bumped him up another
position. Third marks Beaumer's
first podium since round three,
and he earns valuable points in
the championship. He's current

back from second.

some lappers," Davies said. "I

been better in that department."
By this point, the two leaders
opened up a sizable gap to third
and Deegan marched off with
the win, 12 seconds clear of sec

ond place. The win, paired with
Davies' fifth place, earned him
enough points to clinch the 2025
250SX West Championship.
"As much as I'm friends with
Cole, when it's race time, this is
500 grand," Deegan said. "I got
a lot on the line for it and for
myself. When it's two laps to go,
