250 QUALIFYING RESULTS | 2021 FOX RACEWAY NATIONAL 1

It’s finally that time of the year when we get to see the fastest 250 riders in the world go head to head once again. No East vs. West Coast shenanigans, just 40 riders lined up on a gate for some classic Motocross racing. This year, Fox Raceway, or Pala if you’re old enough, will hold the first round of the 2021 Pro Motocross season. But before the gates drop during the Motos, the lites class has to qualify first. The first round is usually great for making a first impression amongst the rest of the 250 field and with so many riders competing, like every year, it’s difficult to gauge where everyone may finish.

For the factory teams, you have Star Yamaha with their army of riders, featuring 250 vets such as Colt Nichols, Justin Cooper, and more. For the first time in a long time, we see direct factory support from KTM, utilizing 250 rookie Max Vohland as their lites rider. Honda helms the Lawrence brothers who will no doubt be battling it out between each other. For the first time in Motocross history, GasGas will be sporting the 250 class with Michael Mosiman and Pierce Brown. At Husqvarna, Silez Robertson and Jalek Swoll will be their contenders. The Kawasaki team has a very strong roster with 250 vets Austin Forkner and Cameron McAdoo leading the way. And unfortunately, Suzuki will not be having factory support after the dismantling of JGR last year but the BarX team will be representing the yellow bike brand.

So who do you think will be the fastest around the So Cal track? Which team do you think will have the most riders in the top 10? Find out down below as we report LIVE from Fox Raceway.
