Gelling with the track here in Vegas…

I don’t think it was just the track, I think it was also the work I’ve been putting in on the starts. It’s crazy what a start can do, I feel like nothing has really changed with my speed. I’ve been putting in the work, but I haven’t showed it because I’ve been getting bad starts. These guys are fast, so it’s hard to run through them like I want to.

The importance of this race win…

It was like a dream day. This is TLD GasGas’ last race as a team. I’ve been with the team my whole career and haven’t been able to get a win for them, we waited until the last race. So, it feels great, even for myself. I needed that, it’s been a mediocre year for me. I think for next year it’s going to be really good.

Getting a full season under your belt…

I think this is my first full season. I made it every single round and finally got it done at the last race. Feels good. For enxt year, it just elevates my expectations for myself. This is defintiely going to jump start some belief. I can’t wait for next year.

The doubts through the highs and lows…

It’s been a long road. There are times you get down on yourself, but it’s part of the sport. There are ups and downs in everything in life, so you have to pick yourself up and make it happen. That’s what we did today. It feels like a monkey off my back, I’m over the moon right now.

Jordon Smith Leaving Star Yamaha

Jordon Smith has confirmed he is departing the Monster Energy/Yamaha Star Racing team for the 2025 season. The veteran joined the team prior to the 2023 Monster Energy Supercross season and captured one win (2024 San Francisco Supercross) in his two seasons with the team.

Smith, who began his career with the now defunct GEICO Honda squad, and spent time with Troy Lee Designs prior to signing with Star Racing, is expected to move to Factory Triumph for next year.

Smith's words:

“Well what a season it was. I made it to every single race and was really happy with my riding all season.

“P-3 last night to finish off with a podium. I’m glad to finish my time with @starracingyamaha on a high note and can’t thank them enough for the opportunity they gave me. Just a few years ago I lost my factory ride and didn’t know what the future held for me. I persevered and made it back to a factory team and I’m thankful for every single person that’s a part of the team! They are like family to me now and wouldn’t be back to where I’m at without them.

“Now it’s time to enjoy a little break and recharge the batteries!”

Chase Sexton Faces Growing Concerns Over Potential Broken Hand!

Chase Sexton night at the SuperMotocross World Championship Finals in Las Vegas ended prematurely due to a significant hand injury sustained during the first moto. As the race commenced, Sexton struggled with his start and found himself in a precarious position within the pack. Unfortunately, as he exited the first rhythm lane, he collided with Justin Barcia, who landed on him, causing the injury that would ultimately sideline him for the remainder of the event.

Following the incident, Sexton attempted to ride but was unable to continue, leading team manager Ian Harrison to confirm that he would not compete in Moto 2. The severity of the injury raised immediate concerns about his participation in upcoming events, including the Motocross of Nations. Reports from those at the track indicate that there are fears Sexton may have broken his hand, which would complicate his recovery and future racing plans.
