Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia raced to a solid ninth-place finish in Round 9 of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Ironman Raceway this weekend, finishing inside the top 10 at the conclusion of both 450MX motos. BAMBAM finishes 8-9 for ninth overall in 450MX Class Front-running speed displayed by Ryder D in 250MX again Two rounds remain in Pro Motocross 2025! Barcia recorded the 13th fastest time with his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition in qualifying at the Crawfordsville venue, before charging forward to an eighth-place finish during Moto 1 in what were ultra-technical track conditions. Ninth position in Moto 2 saw BAMBAM score P9 overall in Indiana, with two Pro Motocross rounds remaining to continue building form before the commencement of the SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) post-season starting in September. Justin Barcia: "It was a wild day in Ironman, and a hot one! The track was tough and pretty slippery in the morning with its hard-packed base, so we made some changes after practice going into the first moto. Unfortunately in Moto 1, someone hit the gate next to me, and that caused a chain reaction as I went early as well. That put me pretty much last, so we charged back to the top 10 in that one, which was okay. Second race, got a good start, but was shuffled around a bit on lap one, and then made one big mistake and lost a lot of positions. I fought back to the top 10 again, so all in all, some good progress was made today – we'll never stop fighting!" DiFrancesco on his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition qualified ninth fastest before the 20-year-old raced to a 17-15 scorecard, highlighted by running in P4 during the opening stages of the second race and displaying speed to factor among the class front-runners yet again. Like Barcia, Ryder D is ranked 13th in the championship standings. Ryder DiFrancesco: “Qualifying was good at Ironman, then Moto 1, I was right there around the top 10, but made some mistakes, which sent me backward. I made a better start in race two and was up there in fourth for five or six laps, and then again just went backwards later in the moto. I need to fix some things before we head to Unadilla and Budds Creek, so we will keep trying hard and working to move forward."

Back on the box – twice! It was a gritty weekend in the Welsh hills for GASGAS Factory Racing’s Andrea Verona, who battled through the tough conditions in Rhayader to secure a pair of Enduro2 podiums at round four of the 2025 FIM EnduroGP World Championship. After placing second in E2 and third overall on Saturday, Andrea kept the fight alive on Sunday to grab third in E2 and maintain his unbroken class podium record of over five years!

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia raced to a seventh-place finish in Round 8 of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Washougal on Saturday, as teammate Ryder DiFranceso was once again typically fast on his way to 10th overall in the 250MX division. BAMBAM goes 7-7 for seventh overall in 450MX Class Qualifying fifth and P8 finish in Moto 2 highlight Ryder D’s weekend Team lines up with a special Military Appreciation livery Barcia clocked the 10th fastest qualifying time onboard his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition at the picturesque Pacific Northwest facility, before charging to a solid seventh place finish in Moto 1 on what were hard-pack and notoriously slick Washougal conditions. Another P7 ride in Moto 2 demonstrated a measured performance for BAMBAM at the eighth round, with seventh overall continuing his steady build throughout the latter stages of his outdoor campaign this season. Justin Barcia: "I qualified in the top 10 today at Washougal and was happy with that, as it gave me a better gate pick, but made a bit of a rookie move off the start because I thought the traction would be less, and I ended up with the front-end pretty high which put me toward the back! Charged through for P7 in that one, then second moto, I got a better start, but a couple of mistakes and the restart had me in seventh for that one, too. All in all, we're out of these first couple races healthy, so we'll regroup now and come out swinging for the last three." DiFrancesco and his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition qualified fifth quickest, before charging into P2 at the start of Moto 1. After taking over the lead on lap two, Ryder D held firm at the front of the field until a collision with another rider on the third lap sent him down the race order. After remounting, the 20-year-old managed to race forward and salvage an 11th-place finish, before a P8 result in Moto 2 earned him 10th overall for the weekend. As a result, DiFrancesco moves to 13th in the 250MX standings with three rounds remaining. Ryder DiFrancesco: “Washougal was good, qualifying was strong, and I always enjoy coming here. I had a mishap in Moto 1, getting landed on while leading, which wasn't ideal, but did what we could to recover. Second moto was better, I got a good start and had some pace early, but I felt like I could've done some things differently with line choice and racecraft to keep up there, and flow the track a little better. We'll keep moving forward and have more weekends like this." Next Race: August 9 – Crawfordsville, Indiana Results 450MX Class – Washougal National 1. Chase Sexton (KTM) 2. Jett Lawrence (Honda) 3.
