Racing

The Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit was another stage for Red Bull GASGAS Tech3’s Pedro Acosta to produce a riveting performance as the 20-year-old Spaniard raced to 5th place in sweltering and sapping conditions. Teammate Augusto Fernandez rode well to progress from a P21 grid slot to take 10th in a race of physical, mental and tire attrition. Daniel Holgado is still in play for 2nd position in the 2024 Moto3™ world championship despite an early race fall.

As part of its RED-hot new lineup for 2025, the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team proudly announces the addition of rising 250 Class talent Casey Cochran alongside returning GASGAS duo Justin Barcia and Ryder DiFrancesco. The fresh, new official GASGAS squad will be led by newly appointed team manager, Sean Murphy. Casey Cochran joins Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing’s 250 Class roster for 2025 Veteran leader Sean Murphy appointed as Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager Bam Bam and Ryder D gear up for the 2025 season with revitalized GASGAS SMX effort! This exciting new addition and leadership appointment arrive on the heels of a newly announced partnership between Rockstar® Energy Drink and GASGAS Factory Racing, fueling more anticipation than ever for an action-packed 2025 SuperMotocross World Championship (SMX) season. Cochran has been a Rockstar Athlete since his impressive debut in the 250SX Futures in 2023, where he secured three podium finishes. His journey through the KTM Group’s amateur racing program has been nothing short of remarkable. Last season marked his rookie debut in AMA Supercross, where he began in the SX Futures program to collect pro points before transitioning to the 250SX East division. During Pro Motocross, Cochran further showcased his talent by qualifying P1 at Hangtown and earning his career-first 250MX podium at Spring Creek, finishing third overall. Now, with Barcia and DiFrancesco, Cochran brings new energy and talent to the team, promising an epic dynamic and an electric season ahead. Casey Cochran: “I'm super stoked to join the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team for the 2025 season. With so many familiar faces around, especially having been a Rockstar athlete since my early amateur career, the transition has been seamless. I am excited to have new teammates that I can learn from and build fresh relationships with as we gear up for Supercross. The crew we have is incredible, and the bike is feeling great. I'm ready to get out on the track and show everyone what this team can do together. Let’s do this!" Sean Murphy brings nearly a decade of expertise to his new role as team manager for the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team. Murphy has been an integral figure in the motorsport community, serving as team coordinator for the Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing Team since its inception in 2015. Murphy’s leadership style, grounded in strategic oversight and a deep commitment to team success, was instrumental in his past role and is set to elevate the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing team as they prepare for 2025. Sean Murphy, Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager: “I am extremely excited to accept the role of team manager for the Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team and be part of this new team partnership between two iconic brands. The Rockstar Energy brand means a lot to our racing family, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have them onboard for the 2024 SMX Championship season. I got to see Casey’s talent and great potential firsthand last year, and I’m excited to see him thrive with riders like Justin and Ryder. We’re ready for 2025!" Jennifer Kalban, Senior Sports Marketing Manager, Rockstar Energy: "Rockstar Energy is proud to expand our partnership with the KTM Group and continue growing the Rockstar Energy racing family. Working closely with Sean since the inception of the Husqvarna team has been incredibly rewarding and we’re excited to continue taking our collaboration to new heights.
