Points leader Cooper Webb and second-place Chase Sexton thrilled fans at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, with multiple lead changes in the second half of the race. Webb made the final pass with two laps remaining for the win.
Webb earned the holeshot and took the early lead but had to deal with Ken Roczen in the opening laps. Webb lost the lead on Lap 5 and tried to be patient, but the race between the leaders allowed Justin Cooper and Sexton to close the gap to create a four-rider battle. Webb rode Roczen wide in the middle stage of the race, but when he did, it allowed Sexton to take the lead.
“I really wanted that one,” Webb told NBC’s Will Christien on Peacock. “Me and Kenny were going back and forth. I felt great, was ready to get by him, and Chase got both of us, and it was time to go. I got around Ken, and then it was game on. It was so gnarly. I wish people could be a POV of the track, and the ruts, and lappers. ... That was an absolute slugfest; two of the best guys right now just going for it.”
From then until the checkered flag, Webb relentlessly pressured Sexton. Even though both riders made a mistake in a rhythm section, Webb executed a triple jump and surged into the lead.
Other than the slight mistake in the closing lap, Sexton rode flawlessly and refused to succumb to Webb’s pressure.
“It was really tough,” Sexton told Jason Thomas. “I rode my heart out, rode as good as I could. To be honest, I feel like being in second was a little better position toward the end. Coop got me and I was like ‘ahh.’ I couldn’t get him back, but overall the track was really gnarly. It was like a trail race.”
Plessinger scored his second consecutive podium and third such finish in the last four races.
“I got probably my best jump all day and I hit the brakes too quick; didn’t pull in the clutch but I stalled the bike for about 50, 75 feet. My bike was shut down and I was trying to bump-start it, bump-start it. I smacked into Malcolm [Stewart]. I felt so bad, I probably ruined his race.”
Still riding with a sore shoulder, Roczen ended the night fourth.
Fifth-place Dylan Ferrandis scored his first top-five of 2025.
In the 250 division, Cole Davies led flag-to-flag to become the 10th winner in 11 rounds of 250 competition as a rivalry heated up between points leader Haiden Deegan and second-place Julien Beaumer.
“It’s been a long journey and it’s been a lot of work to get here,” Davies said from the top of the box.
Davies rode uncontested for most of the main, but his teammate Deegan crashed on the opening lap while riding second and was forced to work his way through the field. Deegan overcame his mistake and rode to fourth but he was not content to finish off the podium. With two laps remaining, Deegan turned sharply into Beaumer and knocked his challenger out of the groove to take over third.
Words were exchanged between the two afterward, and Deegan slapped Beaumer’s helmet.
“Everyone knows what happened to me these last two weeks,” Deegan said, referencing his Florida arrest for street racing and stunt driving. “He, JuJu, went out of his own hands to post on his story that had my address and stuff. And now you’re talking about my family, putting my family in danger and that’s a whole ‘nother scene so I told him not to do that. It ain’t cool. He obviously lit back but we’ll just see what happens from here on out.”
Garrett Marchbanks was embroiled in a battle with Beaumer for most of the race before finishing second.
“It’s been a long time,” Marchbanks said. “These last couple of months [have] been so rough, and you get down in a hole. Tonight I was finally feeling good; I finally feel like I was pretty close to 100 percent from the San Diego crash.”
Beaumer finished fourth and lost two point to Deegan in the championship battle.
“For that situation, no worries. I ain’t the only one who posted his address,” Beaumer responded to Deegan’s complaint. “So he can talk all he wants but that’s public record. I’m not worried about it; he has one coming.”
Jo Shimoda rounded out the top five.
