The Pro Motocross Championship is here and several riders are ready to content for the title. Red Bull KTM Factory racing will have Chase Sexton and Aaron Plessinger vying for a championship in the 450 class. Sexton comes off of a Supercross victory at the final round in Salt Lake City.
“I’m ready for outdoors! The team and I made some good development inroads by the end of the Supercross season to make me feel comfortable and at home with the bike and team. Winning in Salt Lake really bolstered my confidence, and we want to keep that momentum going into Pala MX this weekend,” said Sexton.
Tom Vialle and Julien Baumer will ride for the team in the 250 class. Meantime, the Rockstar Husqvarna Factory team is also ready for success. Malcolm Stewart and Christian Craig will race in the 450 class while RJ Hampshire and 17-year old team rookie Casey Cochran will contend in the 250 class.
Jett Lawrence will be back to defend his championship title alongside brother Hunter for Honda. The Monster Energy team will have a skeleton team for Pro Motocross. Seth Hammaker and Cameron McAdoo reportedly are injured from separate practice crashes. Other riders that are still recovering from getting banged up in the Supercross season include Max Vohland and Austin Forkner. The team will continue to move forward with Levi Kitchen.
