2025 THUNDER VALLEY NATIONAL PRE-RACE REPORT: INJURY REPORT, TV SCHEDULE & MORE
On to the third round of the pro motocross series and we head to Thunder Valley and thus far this season Jett Lawrence and Haiden Deegan have been dominant. Last weekend in the 450 class we saw Aaron Plessinger and Eli Tomac create a lead on Jett Lawrence as they were able to grab first and second. They could potentially grab a win in the upcoming races and Thunder Valley is a hometown race for Eli. In the 250 class, Jo Shimoda has kept Deegan in sight in the points chase as he has grabbed second in each moto thus far. Thunder Valley is at elevation so we should see a small decrease in power for the bikes. It’s also one of the most technical and rutted tracks in the series which should make for some good racing.
2025 THUNDER VALLEY MOTOCROSS // FULL COVERAGE
DEEGAN JOINING THE RECORD BOOKS
Haiden Deegan has been dominant this season so far.
Deegan captured his second win of the season with a dominant 1-1 performance, becoming the first Yamaha rider to win Rounds 1 and 2 in back-to-back seasons. He now joins Mark Barnett as the only two riders in 250MX history to accomplish that feat, with Barnett achieving it in 1981 and 1982 on his way to the championship both years. With this win, Deegan now has nine career 250MX victories, tying him with Grant Langston and Dylan Ferrandis on the all-time 250MX win list. Yamaha now holds a total of 118 wins in the 250MX class, and Deegan is tied with Ferrandis for fourth on Yamaha’s all-time 250MX win list. Jeremy Martin and Broc Glover currently lead that list with 14 wins each.
JETT LAWRENCE CHECKED OFF ANOTHER WIN LAST WEEKEND IN HANGTOWN
Jett Lawrence continues to extend his points lead as he heads into Thunder Valley.
Jett Lawrence went 3-1 for his second win of the season, bringing his career total to 17 450MX victories—placing him 9th on the all-time 450MX win list. He’s now just one win behind Kent Howerton (18), and within striking distance of James Stewart (20), Ken Roczen (21), and Rick Johnson (22), giving him a strong chance to reach 5th on the all-time list before the season ends. Honda now leads all manufacturers with 167 total 450MX wins. Jett also brings his combined total of motocross wins across all classes to 44.
