Round 4 – AMA Pro Motocross Championship
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle delivered a stellar performance at Round 4 of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship, earning his second 250MX podium of the year during a challenging day at the High Point National in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, teammate Aaron Plessinger continued to showcase top-tier form in the 450MX category with a moto podium and strong overall result.
Vialle Battles to P2 Finish and Second Overall in 250MX
Two-time MX2 World Champion and reigning 250SX East Champion, Tom Vialle, powered his KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION to an impressive fourth-place finish in Moto 1. In the second moto, he elevated his performance with a determined P2 result, earning him second overall for the weekend.
This marks Vialle’s second podium in the first four rounds of the series, solidifying his status as a consistent front-runner. He currently holds fifth place in the overall 250MX standings as the championship heads into its next phase.
Tom Vialle: “My last two results haven’t been where I wanted them to be, so coming in here the plan was for sure to be on the box, and we accomplished that. Looking forward after the weekend off, I feel comfortable at Southwick, and we’ve done a lot of work these last couple of weeks, so I am looking at turning things around and hopefully getting another good result.”
Mixed Fortunes for Beaumer in 250MX Class
Julien Beaumer started the High Point weekend with a promising P8 qualifying time but faced difficulties in both motos. His 15-40 moto finishes aboard the KTM 250 SX-F FACTORY EDITION dropped him down the order, yet he remains ninth in the championship standings and now focuses on bouncing back at Southwick.
Julien Beaumer: “It was a tough day in High Point for me. Moto 1 was going good, and then I crashed with three laps to go. Moto 2, better start, and I made some good passes on lap one, but then I had a good crash at the mechanic’s area. We’ll rest up now and get ready for Southwick.”
Plessinger Impresses in 450MX Despite Wild Weather
Aaron Plessinger’s 450MX campaign at High Point began with the sixth-fastest qualifying time. The KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION rider surged into the lead during the early stages of Moto 1 and secured a commendable third-place finish.
In Moto 2, a strong start put Plessinger in contention once more before heavy rain caused havoc on the track. After a pit stop for fresh goggles and a red flag, he was awarded P4, resulting in fourth overall for the day. Plessinger now sits comfortably in third place in the 450MX championship standings.
Aaron Plessinger: “High Point was a good day. First moto, I got a good start, then Jett [Lawrence] stalled it and I led for a little bit, but I got a bit tight for a while there and I finished P3 in that one. Second moto, I didn’t know it was going to rain and I picked the wrong goggles. [My] tear-offs were gone, had to pull in, and then pretty much straight after that, we got red-flagged. Overall, still P4, so I can’t be too mad! We’ll have a weekend off and get ready for Southwick.”
