A pair of eighth-place results for Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing’s Justin Barcia (450MX) and Ryder DiFrancesco (250MX) in Round 10 of the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship marked a consistent outing for the teammates at Unadilla this weekend.
- Ryder D finishes with 11-8 scores for eighth overall in 250MX
- BAMBAM also P8 overall at home round of the outdoor season!
- One round remains for Pro Motocross in 2025
Equipped with his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, New York native Barcia recorded the 13th-fastest time in qualifying at Unadilla, before fighting hard all race long in Moto 1 for a hard-fought P9 finish. Improving to eighth in Moto 2, Barcia took eighth overall and has now climbed to 10th in the 450MX standings.
Justin Barcia: "Unadilla was gnarly! It was a wild day. We made a lot of positive adjustments, and I felt better each time I went on the track. The first moto was super tricky, because the track was one of the more gnarly Unadillas that I have raced – it was very busy out there and I didn't get the greatest of starts today as I wasn't on the paddle tire. I ate a lot of roost, but all-in-all we charged hard, made improvements, and I am extremely excited for Budds Creek after the changes we made this weekend."
DiFrancesco powered his GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition to 11th in 250MX qualifying, before taking a well-earned 11th-place finish in Moto 1. Race two displayed his front-running speed once more, posting a P8 result for eighth overall.
With his Unadilla result, Ryder D moves to 11th overall in the 250MX series with one round left to run in 2025.
Ryder DiFrancesco: “This round was another step in the right direction. My qualifying speed was good, and I had two good starts for the motos, so I'm happy to be getting off the gate better and better. I had two solid races today, the first moto I had a lot of ground to make up, which we did, and then second moto I was in a fight with a couple of riders for the whole race inside the top 10. We're getting better, and I'm excited to have a bit of momentum building on my side!"
