From muddy bar-banging stadiums to boulder-choked climbs and alpine roost fests, the world of off-road racing was absolutely unhinged this weekend—in the best way possible. Here’s how it all went down:
🏟️ Supercross – Round 13: Philadelphia
Philly delivered the chaos we were promised. Rain earlier in the week left the track tacky and rutted—perfect for a good old-fashioned East/West 250SX dogfight. Cole Davies laid down a career-defining ride, holding off Haiden Deegan and a hard-charging R.J. Hampshire. Meanwhile, in the 450 class, Chase Sexton reminded everyone he’s not here for second place anymore. His ride was surgical, slicing through the field while Webb and Roczen battled like it was 2016 again.

🌲 GNCC – The Old Gray (Round 5)
This one’s called The Old Gray for a reason—it’s a grizzled beast of a course tucked into Tennessee’s woods that doesn’t just test your speed, it tests your soul. Ben Kelley absolutely owned the day, riding like the trees owed him money. Grant Davis and Kailub Russell gave chase, but Kelley’s lines through the slop were surgical, and his stamina was top-tier. The course? Mud bogs, off-camber root beds, and a few hidden gotchas to keep riders humble.

🪨 U.S. Hard Enduro – Moab Madness (Round 4)
Moab was Moab: brutal, beautiful, and unforgiving. Cody Webb looked right at home picking through nightmare terrain on his Yamaha YZ250X, out-dueling Trystan Hart in a showdown that came down to seven seconds over two-plus hours of hell. These weren’t just trails—they were borderline rock slides. Moab doesn’t care about your race craft. It wants your clutch plates, your hydration pack, and maybe your dignity.
🏜️ National Hare & Hound – Jericho, UT (Round 4)
High-speed and high-desert, Jericho, Utah lived up to its rep for speed traps and wheel-swallowing rock beds. Dante Oliveira came in hot and never let off the throttle, leading wire-to-wire and riding like he had somewhere to be. Daemon Woolslayer and Preston Campbell kept it spicy, but no one had the answer for Dante’s pace. There were reports of 90+ mph stretches—because nothing says “fun” like going plaid into the unknown with nothing but dust and hope.

🌍 MXGP – Trentino, Italy (Round 5)
Ah, Trentino. The scenic Alpine circuit that lures you in with postcard beauty before it absolutely rips your suspension apart. Tim Gajser was untouchable this weekend, going 1-1 and putting the rest of the MXGP class on notice. His control through elevation changes and tight corners was chef’s kiss perfect. Over in MX2, Andrea Adamo threw down a win in front of his home crowd, holding off a relentless Kay de Wolf and Thibault Benistant in a battle that had the Italian hillside echoing with two-stroke fury.

If you missed it, there’s still time to rewatch the carnage, crunch the lap times, and take notes for your next ride (or armchair critique). Stay tuned—we’ll be back next week with more dirt, more drama, and probably more bent levers.
