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."

Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing recruit Justin Barcia has started his 2025 AMA Supercross campaign with a solid 450SX points haul, finishing an action-packed night of racing in sixth position. In the 250SX division, Ryder DiFrancesco started his season strongly by racing to a career-best P4 result. Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing debuts at A1! Sixth a sign of things to come for Justin Barcia in 450SX Class Ryder DiFrancesco finishes just short of the 250SX West podium After a quiet qualifying session, Bam Bam came out firing in his heat race onboard the GASGAS MC 450F Factory Edition , making a late pass and holding off an intense challenge for position to take P3. Despite a mid-pack start to the Main Event, Barcia went to work on the riders ahead of him, pushing his way into the top-five during the 20-minute encounter before dropping a position on the final lap and finishing P6. Justin Barcia: “A1 was a bit of a stressful day. I think this was the 12th or 13th time I’ve lined up for Anaheim, but the nerves never go away. I was riding like a goon in practice and qualifying, but I had a good heat race and rode really well. I didn’t get the greatest start in the Main Event, but I got myself up to fifth with a really good ride. Unfortunately, I got passed at the end of the race and brought it home in sixth. All in all, we turned the day around. I’m not happy with sixth, but to get out of Anaheim healthy and with the bike working well, I’m looking forward to San Diego.” Ryder D was impressive all day at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium. After posting the third-fastest qualifying time aboard the GASGAS MC 250F Factory Edition, the 19-year-old put in a convincing performance to finish P3 in his Heat. In the Main Event, DiFrancesco worked his way through the pack early after a tricky start, steadily picking off the guys ahead of him to ultimately finish with a career-best fourth-place result. Ryder DiFrancesco: “I had good qualifying sessions and I was near the top of the board in every session. My Heat race was good and in the Main Event I ran third until a lap and a half to go. We’re close! This was a huge confidence gain tonight and I’m excited for San Diego.” Next Race: January 18 – San Diego, California Results 450SX Class – Anaheim 1. Chase Sexton (KTM) 2.
