The Monster Energy Supercross series heads to Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, for Round 6 of the 2025 season, but it will do so without three of its top riders. The defending winner, Jett Lawrence, tore his ACL in a crash in Glendale, Arizona, Eli Tomac broke his leg in qualification for Round 5 in Tampa, Florida, and Hunter Lawrence tore ligaments in his shoulder in that race and requires surgery.
Detroit will be a day race, starting at 3 p.m. ET, so plan accordingly.
The other four riders who finished among the top five in 2024 will be in attendance, with second-place Chase Sexton looking to defend his red plate for the second consecutive week. Ken Roczen (third), Cooper Webb (fourth), and Jason Anderson (fifth) are each in the title hunt.
The 250 East division contests their second round as several riders seek to forget about last week’s debacle in Tampa. RJ Hampshire (finished 18th) earned minimal points after getting stuck on a Tuff Blox on Lap 1, Austin Forkner (17th) crashed, Levi Kitchen (ninth) could not overcome a poor start, and Chance Hymas (sixth) continues to recover from injuries suffered in 2024.
At least they have an opportunity to overcome their slow start. The same cannot be said for Pierce Brown, who crashed while leading in Tampa and broke his T5 vertebra.
