Max Anstie breaks leg Birmingham qualification

With three minutes remaining on the clock in the first qualification session, running seventh at the time, Max Anstie was bounced off his bike and landed awkwardly, favoring his left leg. He was helped to the medical cart by the Alpinestars medical crew and it was announced later on Peacock's Race Day Live show that he broke his leg in the incident.
Anstie entered the round one point behind championship leader Tom Vialle after losing positions to that rider in the last two rounds.
Anstie landed on the crest of a jump and was propelled forward to his his head on the front wheel before leaving the seat of his Yamaha.
An announcement has not been made by the team, but it is likely that he will be forced to miss the remainder of the Monster Energy Supercross season.

Fabio Quartararo injures shoulder in practice crash at MotoGP's Italian GP

MotoGP world champion Fabio Quartararo has been taken to hospital following a big accident during the first official practice session at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix. The Yamaha rider went down after just 10 minutes as the front of the bike got away from the Frenchman heading into the fast left-right sequence at Turn 4 in Mugello. Advertisement Quartararo's left shoulder hit the ground hard before he continued to slide into the gravel along with the bike. The 2021 world champion spent a prolonged period lying in the gravel trap, clutching his left shoulder which had been dislocated. Quartararo then had his shoulder popped back into place on the spot. It was clear that he was in pain, but he was adamant about getting back to the garage to continue the session, even arguing with the marshals about the quickest way to recover his Yamaha. After returning to the pits, Quartararo was examined by Angel Charte, the championship's medical director, who performed an initial assessment. Quartararo was then given an anti-inflammatory so he could return to the track. Fabio Quartararo, Yamaha Factory Racing Fabio Quartararo, Yamaha Factory Racing 'In the crash, Fabio dislocated his left shoulder, something that has happened to him before. He popped it back into place himself, as he's done on other occasions,' Charte commented after the session. Advertisement 'I allowed him to go back out, but now we're sending him to a hospital in Florence to get an MRI scan on his left shoulder." Despite the discomfort, Quartararo finished the session in fifth which moved him directly into Q2 for Saturday's qualifying. His participation for the rest of the weekend, however, depends on him receiving the all-clear from the hospital.

Motocross 2025 250 results, highlights, finish at Thunder Valley: Haiden Deegan completes third sweep

At High Point Raceway in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, Haiden Deegan swept the weekend motos for the third time this season to extend his Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross Championship points lead. Deegan swept the first two weekends, but last week, Chance Hymas reset the bar with a perfect weekend. Not to be outdone, Deegan led all 33 laps of the two races, but failed to match Hymas' feat of earning both holeshots. Nate Thrasher earned the holeshot in Moto 1; Tom Vialle held that distinction in Moto 2. Of primary importance was the championship standings. Deegan now holds a 42-point lead over Jo Shimoda in Pro Motocross and a 100-point advantage over him in the combined SuperMotocross 250 standings. Click here for a recap of High Point Vialle has had an erratic season, and when he finished fourth in Moto 1, it appeared that would continue into the High Point weekend. He lost the lead in the second race, but firmly held onto a podium position and passed Hymas for second on the final lap. With those results, Vialle earned his second Nationals podium of 2025 after finishing 4-3 for third overall in the season opener in Pala, California. Levi Kitchen was third overall at High Point, but it was a tale of two motos. He rode to a solid second-place finish in Moto 1 before struggling to finish sixth in the second race. Fortunately for him, the next three riders were equally erratic. Relive Moto 1 Hymas had a strong start to his weekend with fast times in both qualification sessions, but he failed to live up to expectations when the gate dropped. A horrible start of 13th in Moto 1 forced him to ride through the pack, and he showed speed by climbing to fifth. He slotted into second on Lap 1 of Moto 2, but never seriously challenged the leader and lost that position with one lap remaining. Fifth place belonged to Garrett Marchbanks. No one would have given low odds for that happening after he finished seventh in Moto 1, but his fourth-place finish in the second race tied him in points with Shimoda. Marchbanks finished one position ahead of the Japanese rider to earn the tiebreaker. Shimoda showed consistency with a 6-5 to finish just outside the top five in sixth. Seth Hammaker had a solid start to the afternoon with his podium finish (third) in Moto 1. He faded in the second race and finished 14th, spoiling what had been a strong day.

Razgatlioglu seals Misano hat-trick as Rea crashes

Reigning World Superbike champion Toprak Razgatlioglu completed a hat-trick of victories at Misano by winning the second feature race. The BMW rider, 28, also won Saturday's opening race and Sunday's Superpole sprint race. Advertisement From pole position, Razgatlioglu dominated the third and final race of the weekend to move within nine points of championship leader Nicolo Bulega. The Turk will transfer to the MotoGP series in 2026, having signed a deal to ride a Yamaha for Prima Pramac Racing. From starting 10th on the grid, Italian Bulega finished almost 10 seconds behind, with Ducati team-mate Alvaro Bautista in third place. Northern Ireland's six-time champion Jonathan Rea was running in ninth position when he crashed out with 12 laps remaining. Razgatlioglu won the Superpole race earlier, which set the grid for the second feature race, ahead of England's Alex Lowes and Yamaha's Andrea Locatelli. Rea, who missed the opening three rounds of the season through injury, was seventh, while Bulega was taken out in a crash with Axel Bassani.
