Honda HRC Progressive announced their 2025 SuperMotocross team and while there are no surprises—Jett and Hunter Lawrence in 450 Class and Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas in the 250 Class—we did get some new information.
The team confirmed that Shimoda will contest the 250SX West Region in 2025, while Hymas will race the East Region.
In his first full season of Monster Energy Supercross in 2024, Hymas finished seventh overall in the East Region before having a breakout year in Pro Motocross in which he earned his first career overall en route to fourth in points.
At the conclusion of the year, Hymas was named the MX2 (250) rider for Team USA at the Motocross of Nations at Matterley Basin, UK but a knee injury sustained at the opening round of the SuperMotocross Playoffs forced him to withdraw from the team.
He is currently still recovering from his injury which will force him to the East Region.
“The success that Honda HRC Progressive has enjoyed over the past couple of years has been impressive, but we’re always striving to do even better,” said Brandon Wilson, Manager of Racing & Advertising at American Honda. “Fortunately, we’re able to keep together an incredible lineup of riders, and we have two very capable race bikes, plus a great group of sponsors that are always behind us. I’m confident that 2025 will just add to Honda’s spectacular heritage.”
“The 2024 season was unbelievable, with Jett winning the 450 Supercross and SuperMotocross titles, Hunter becoming a top 450 rider, both our 250 riders securing race victories, and Team Australia capturing their first Motorcross of Nations,” said Honda HRC Progressive Team Manager Lars Lindstrom. “Our crew has worked super-hard with all four of our riders to get our new bikes dialed in for the opener, and we can’t wait to get on the gate and see where we stack up. We love the progression our team has shown over the past couple of seasons, and I think 2025 will be one of our best yet.”
