Key Highlights:
-
Winning without Winning: Nate Thrasher didn’t need a win to claim the Triple Crown overall. Here’s how he did it: he was the only rider to post a top-three fastest average lap time in all three main events, and his LITPro consistency score, a 90.6, was the highest of anyone across both classes.
-
Sexton Smarts: Chase Sexton was untouchable in Races 1 and 2, setting 14 of 39 fastest laps, more than any rider. He was also the only one to drop a sub-57 second lap, hitting a blistering 56.7. In Race 3, Sexton played it cool, backing off when Webb pushed, securing the overall win with a smart, calculated ride.
- Unexpectedly Tough: Both classes saw lap times slow as the night went on. The 450s dropped 0.25 seconds per lap, while the 250s lost about 0.5 seconds. As the track broke down, the 450s adapted better, showing dramatic improvements in consistency despite the conditions.
-
Gritting through the Pain: Malcolm Stewart fought through pain all night long, but his Lap 99 time of 54.67 in Race 3 was nothing short of jaw-dropping. He dominated the long rhythm lanes, clocking over a second faster than Webb in each, and his whoop speed was absolutely unmatched. Malcolm continues to prove that his raw speed is elite.
- Rising to the Top: After a costly Race 1 mistake, Seth Hammaker bounced back in Race 2, posting lap times half a second faster than the next best rider. He also set the fastest pace in Race 3, proving once again that when he’s on, he’s becoming untouchable.
450 Analysis:
After the only weekend off in the Supercross season, the riders had no time to ease back in because the final Triple Crown was waiting. Three intense main events, no room for mistakes, and a track that only got rougher as the night went on. Some riders came back recharged, ready to make a statement, while others struggled to find their rhythm. From blistering fast lap times to pure survival, this round had it all. Let’s break down who thrived, who struggled, and the surprising storylines that shaped the night.
Track Breakdown:

Looking at the track map, it's clear, the KTM/Husqvarna squad had this track dialed. The riders highlighted had the top average sector time for the race. Between Chase Sexton, Aaron Plessinger, Malcolm Stewart, and even Justin Hill sneaking in, they dominated the sector times across the three main events. The beauty of running three mains? We get a crystal-clear look at where each rider shined.
For example, Sexton was flying across the start straight (S9), Stewart’s whoop speed made a comeback (S5), but the real shocker? Cooper Webb’s mastery of the triple (S8). A single triple as a timing sector might seem trivial, most would assume all riders hit it at the same speed. Yet, Webb clocked the fastest time over it in all three races. That couldn’t be a coincidence.
Digging deeper, even while battling through the pack, Webb gained a total of 0.75 seconds over Sexton just on that one jump in both Races 1 and 2. Sexton had the edge elsewhere and they weren’t racing head-to-head, but Webb’s clean line over the triple was enough to consistently shave off nearly half a tenth per lap.

1 | Sexton | 6.83 | Webb | 6.94 | Webb | 6.87 |

5 | Hill | 4.94 | Stewart | 4.96 | Stewart | 4.59 |
6 | Plessinger | 8.66 | Cooper | 8.93 | Webb | 8.77 |
7 | Sexton | 9.73 | Plessinger | 9.84 | Webb | 9.94 |
8 | Webb | 2.06 | Webb | 2.04 | Webb | 2.07 |
9 | Sexton | 5.41 | Sexton | 5.44 | Sexton | 5.36 |
By the final main, this track was brutal, six mains plus an SMX Next race had it torn up. Surprisingly, the toughest sector wasn’t the whoops or sand, but the second long rhythm lane (S4), according to LITPro Consistency Scoring. Riders struggled to hit it cleanly, and its multiple line choices made for unpredictable timing. The whoops (S5) and sand (S6) weren’t far behind in difficulty.
Lap Time Breakdown:
The histogram tells the story—each main event got progressively slower, and the numbers back it up. The top average lap times dropped by roughly 0.25 seconds per main event. Across the field, the average 450 rider clocked a 59.2 in Race 1, but by Race 3, that had slipped to a 61.2.
But here’s the catch: as lap times slowed, consistency improved dramatically. The 450 class averaged a 76.8 consistency score in Race 1, but that climbed to 86.9 by Race 3. Even with a deteriorating track, these veterans locked into their lines, proving exactly why they’re the best in the business.
However, only two riders truly mastered the track. Out of 39 total laps, Sexton laid down 14 fastest laps, with Webb close behind at 12. The next closest? Stewart with just 5. It’s a shame Webb ran into trouble in the first two races, otherwise, we could have seen an epic battle between two championship contenders.

Top Performances:
Chase Sexton came back from the break firing on all cylinders. He was untouchable for most of the night, and when Webb pressured him in Race 3, he showed maturity, backing off and settling for the overall win. Maybe he’s finally realizing he doesn’t have to be the fastest rider every lap. That said, he still laid down the only sub-57-second lap of the night, a blistering 56.7—nearly a full second faster than anyone else.
Malcolm Stewart put on a gritty performance, battling through what looked like a bruised hip from his gnarly qualifying crash. He dominated the whoops and nearly matched Sexton and Webb’s pace, running just 0.01 seconds per lap slower than Sexton in Race 2. Without his crash, could he have been a real contender for the Triple Crown win?
LITPro 10-Lap Consistency Scores:
The most consistent guys often fly under the radar. Michell Oldenburg quietly posted the highest overall consistency score at 89.7, with Justin Cooper right behind at 89.5. A few notable riders even cracked 90 in individual mains:
-
Race 1: Christian Craig (90.1)
-
Race 2: Cooper Webb (92.4) & Ken Roczen (91.4)
-
Race 3: Jason Anderson (best single race consistency at 93.2)
Lap 99 Analysis:
*Lap 99 takes each riders' best segment time regardless of lap and combines them as a theoretical best lap time.
Stewart’s night was impressive, but his Lap 99 time in Race 3 was jaw-dropping, a 54.67. Digging into the details, he dominated both long rhythm lanes, clocking times over a second faster than Webb in each. His whoop speed? Unmatched. Malcolm continues to prove he’s got the raw speed to run at the very top.
250 Analysis:
The 250s delivered once again, with Nate Thrasher taking the overall win without winning a single race, a classic Triple Crown twist. But the real story? Seth Hammaker’s resilience. He was on pace to sweep the night, but a Race 1 crash on the opening lap forced a brutal comeback. He shook it off and absolutely dominated the final two races.
In the track maps above, once again we highlight best average sector time for each of the three main events.
The 250 class is never short on surprises, and the sector breakdown proves it. A mix of unexpected names—Lorenzo Locurcio, Cullin Park, and Hardy Munoz—popped up in the top sector times. One of the biggest shockers? Carson Mumford’s breakout ride. He looked the best he ever has in Race 2, backing it up with strong track map times. Unfortunately, he couldn't finish Race 3. Meanwhile, Dax Bennick came alive in the final race, crushing multiple sectors.
Most surprising of all? Nate Thrasher stayed in podium position across all three mains but only appeared on the track maps in Race 1, where he was arguably the fastest rider. With Hammaker's crash causing a pile-up in Race 1, Hampshire’s early lead left Thrasher and Tom Vialle playing catch-up.
But when it came to pure speed, Hammaker was the guy. In his two clean races, he was clearly the fastest rider on the track, proving that, had it not been for that first-race crash, the night could have looked very different.

9 | Hampshire | 5.54 | Mumford | 5.39 | Hammaker | 5.51 |
Lap Time Breakdown:
Just like the 450s, the 250s saw lap times slow as the night went on. The top average lap time dropped by about half a second per race, with the class averaging a 1:00.5 in Race 1 before slipping to a 1:02.6 by Race 3. But unlike the veteran-heavy 450 field, these younger riders didn’t show the same leap in consistency as the track broke down. Across all three mains, the average consistency score for the 250s hovered around 83.
Hammaker’s dominance was in the numbers. He set the fastest lap on over 40% of the night’s timed laps, leading the pack on 14 of 33 laps. Vialle followed with 8, while Thrasher proved his raw speed once again by logging the third most fastest laps at 6. Only Hampshire (3) and Bennick (2) were able to set a fast lap.

Top Performances:
Hammaker was once again the fastest guy on track. After his costly mistake in Race 1, he rebounded by topping the average lap times in Race 2 by 0.5 over the next closest rider. He also set the fastest pace in Race 3. But when it came to mastering the Triple Crown format, Thrasher put on a clinic. He was the only rider to log a top-three fastest average lap time in all three main events.
LITPro 10-Lap Consistency Scores:
Thrasher’s consistency backed it up. Across all three races, he posted the highest average consistency score at 90.6. Tom Vialle was right there with him, averaging a 90.2 and proving just as steady.
Lap 99 Analysis:
*Lap 99 takes each riders' best segment time regardless of lap and combines them as a theoretical best lap time.
RJ Hampshire will be replaying his Race 3 start in his head for a while. A better launch could have put him in the fight for the overall, but his early lead in Race 1 meant he didn’t even need to be the fastest to control the race. That said, his Lap 99 time of 56.15 and the fastest single lap of any 250 rider at 58.5 proved he had the raw pace to contend.
