A hard-fought top 10 result saw Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing and Justin Barcia complete Anaheim 2 with a solid haul of points today, marking Round 3 of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship. Justin Barcia races to 10th position at Anaheim 2 Bam Bam holds down ninth in the 450SX standings Ryder DiFrancesco sat out the round after a mid-week crash Onboard the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition, Bam Bam posted the ninth-fastest lap-time within Angel Stadium during qualifying. In his Heat Race, Barcia was able to work his way from outside the top 10 into P7 before the checkered flag fell. Come the Main Event and with rain falling to make for technical track conditions, the 32-year-old found himself buried mid-pack exiting the first turn, but he was able to make enough passes on a slick surface to finish with a well-earned result in 10th position. After four rounds, Bam Bam sits ninth in the standings. Justin Barcia: "I came into A2 feeling strong on the bike, but I struggled with my flow in my Heat Race and got a bit tight. I thought we’d worked it out for the Main Event, but unfortunately, I got mixed up at the beginning then rode extremely tight the whole race. It was a disappointing night, because I didn’t perform the way I wanted to or ride the way I should, so we’ll regroup for Phoenix! I’m a good sprinter, so I’m looking forward to the Triple Crown format." After two impressive top-five results at the opening two rounds with Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing, 250SX West contender Ryder DiFrancesco sat out Anaheim 2 as a result of a practice crash on Thursday.

An injury sustained in training on Thursday will unfortunately sideline Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing's Ryder DiFrancesco ahead of this weekend's Anaheim 2 round of the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship. Injury rules Ryder D out ahead of Anaheim 2 this weekend Season on pause for Western Regional 250SX contender Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing to focus on Justin Barcia The 19-year-old Californian has been in impressive form during the opening two rounds of the season, finishing fourth at Anaheim 1 and then backing that up with a fifth-place result in San Diego last Saturday night. Equipped with the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, those results currently have DiFrancesco sitting fifth in the 250SX West point-standings. Additional information on Ryder's condition will be made available in due course, with an update to be provided once a possible return date is determined. Sean Murphy, Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager: "I am gutted that we share the news of Ryder D's practice crash at RD Field yesterday. Ryder was immediately transported to the hospital, where he was evaluated for his injuries. In just his second year of racing Supercross, Ryder had been showing incredible potential and was making significant strides toward the podium. This setback early in the season is gut-wrenching, as Ryder was on an upward trajectory, improving with each round. Our rider's safety and health will always be our top priority, and we will ensure that Ryder takes the necessary time to recover fully and come back stronger." Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing will be on-track and fully focused on 450SX entry Justin Barcia this Saturday, January 25, at Angel Stadium. 'Bam Bam' is ranked sixth in the championship following the opening two rounds, highlighted by a P6 result at Anaheim 1 two weeks ago.

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing riders Ryder DiFrancesco and Justin Barcia have continued their solid start to the 2025 AMA Supercross Championship season, finishing fifth and eighth, respectively, in San Diego this weekend. Consistency continues for Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Second-consecutive top-five result in 250SX West for Ryder DiFrancesco! Justin Barcia maintains sixth position in 450SX title-race DiFrancesco was competitive all day in the 250SX West division. Riding the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, the 19-year-old logged the fifth-fastest time in qualifying, then improved on a mid-pack start to finish his Heat in P4. In the Main Event, Ryder D hooked a good start and put himself in a podium position at the halfway mark, but a couple of mistakes toward the end of the race saw him lose two places and cross the line in P5. With a pair of top-five results to open the year, he's placed fifth in the 250SX standings. Ryder DiFrancesco: "San Diego was good all day! My qualifying, Heat race and Main Event were all consistent. The Main was going to plan until halfway when I made a huge mistake and got bumped back to fourth, then got passed on the last lap and finished fifth. My goal was to be in the fight all year and that’s where we are, so it was a good day all-in-all." In a competitive qualifying session, 450SX contender Barcia’s seventh-fastest lap-time on his GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition showed that he had pace early on at Snapdragon Stadium, and he brought that same speed into his Heat where he finished with a P4 score. Bam Bam found himself mid-pack off the start to the premier class Main Event, before he chipped away at the riders ahead of him, eventually crossing the finish-line in P8. Barcia's consistent results currently see him hold down sixth in the 450SX standings. Justin Barcia: "It was a better day, for sure. We started off qualifying P7, which was good, as I’ve struggled in practice a bit so far this year. The bike was working well though! My Heat race was good, but I needed a better start, and it was the same in the Main Event. I needed to fight really hard to eighth place, so it wasn’t the result we wanted, but we did a lot of good stuff today and we’re extremely excited to fix a few little things this week and come out swinging at A2."
