2025 AMA Supercross Championship
Round Ten – Birmingham
250 Main One
Missing from the 250 gates when it came time for the Mains in Alabama was early East series points leader Max Anstie. The Brit came up short on a jump and cased out in practice, which pitched him into the deck hard enough to break his left fibula. Seth Hammaker was the fastest qualifier, but RJ Hampshire scored the first holeshot ahead of Daxton Bennick and Tom Vialle.
Hammamker was soon up to second place only to then go down halfway through the opening lap, which caused a massive traffic jam in the middle of a tight right-hander. That melee unfolding behind him left Hampshire plenty of breathing space.
The only others to get clear of the Hammaker incident quickly were Tom Vialle and Nate Thrasher, but Hampshire made the most of his clean run to stretch away to a dominant win. The gap was pegged back in the close laps as Hampshire managed his buffer to the flag.
Vialle and Thrasher rounded out the rostrum, more than 13 seconds clear of fourth-placed Max Vohland.
Seth Hammaker recovered to a ninth-place finish ahead of Cullin Park and Austin Forkner.

RJ Hampshire made a great recovery to claim a fifth place finish but that was not enough to claim the overall, that honour going to Nate Thrasher despite not claiming a win on the night.

Tom Vialle third for the round ahead of Seth Hammaker and Daxton Bennick.

Aaron Plessinger scored the holeshot in the opening bout ahead of Justin Hill, Jason Anderson. Cooper Webb was in the mix early on but had a soft topple on the opening lap that cost him a number of positions.
Plessinger continued to lead from Anderson as Chase Sexton made his way past Hill and McElrath to move up to third. Ken Roczen then put in a series of great moves on lap two, the German eclipsed Malcolm Stewart and Shane McElrath to move up to fourth place.
Just before half-race distance Sexton took second place from Anderson. The KTM man fired it up the inside of the Kawasaki and it took Anderson’s front wheel with the rear wheel of his KTM, leaving Anderson on the deck. Jason Anderson lost more than ten-seconds in incident and was relegated to sixth by the time he was back up to speed. At this halfway point of the race Cooper Webb was back up to eighth place.
Malcolm Stewart got a second wind as the race progressed. Chasing down Ken Roczen to take third place from the Suzuki man with just over four-minutes left on the clock.
Chase Sexton got the better of Plessinger with two-minutes left on the clock and then left his team-mate in his wake. Sexton’s fastest lap of the race more than a second quicker than Plessinger’s as he romped away to the tune of more than five-seconds by the chequered flag.
Malcolm Stewart claimed third ahead of Ken Roczen, Jason Anderson and Justin Cooper while Cooper Webb finished seventh.
