lost valuable points to both Roczen and Lawrence and now shares the red plate going into Nashville. "It was a tougher day for us at St. Louis," Tomac said. "The good thing is that we didn't lose too many points, and we are still tied for the lead. I'm looking for- ward to the last five races and doing what we can to get back up on top." Joey Savatgy took seventh ahead of Malcolm Stewart, Garrett Marchbanks and Dylan Ferrandis. 250SX East/ West Showdown The second 250SX East/West Showdown played out in St. Lou- is, and fans were eager to see another Haiden Deegan/Cole Davies matchup. Deegan righted his wrongs from the Birming- ham penalty and showed up with the win and the title on his Supercross wins. Hannah held the record of 27 premier-class Supercross wins for more than a decade until Ricky Johnson broke it in 1989. Half of Roczen's 450SX wins (13 of the 26) have been on Suzuki, putting him just behind legendary RM riders Mark Barnett and Ricky Carmichael… No penal- ties were issued in either main event… Deegan's championship was Yamaha's 60th SMX League Championship (26 MX, 32 SX, 2 Playoffs) and Yamaha's 14th West- ern Divisional Championship… Cole Davies has 15 career 250SX starts and already has nine podiums and 13 top-five finishes. Briefly... Eli Tomac finished outside the top five and now shares the red plate going into round 13. "I lost some rhythm when we hit lapped riders, and the track went away a lot—the sections I was doing in the first 10 minutes were completely different from what I was doing in the last 10 minutes, which was gnarly." Defending champ Cooper Webb had a quiet night to take fifth overall, with points leader Tomac finishing sixth. Tomac good is this title fight narrowing down to the end? I'm looking forward to this." Prado finished just behind Lawrence in fourth for his second-best result of the year. "It was a hectic couple of laps from there with a lot of passes. I even got in the lead at one stage, and it was nice to be up there and showing my wheel," Prado said. ROUND 12 | APRIL 4, 2026 THE DOME AT AMERICA'S CENTER | ST.
