After a two-week break, the 250 class is back in action at Unadilla for round nine and the start of the final three-race stretch of the 2026 Pro Motocross Championship. Levi Kitchen still holds the red plate, but his advantage has been cut to just seven points over Cole Davies after Davies dominated Washougal with a 1-1 sweep while Kitchen battled to 6-6 scores for fifth overall. Julien Beaumer remains within striking distance in third, 25 points behind Kitchen, while Ryder DiFrancesco and Chance Hymas both enter Unadilla with momentum after landing on the podium at Washougal. With only six motos remaining and just seven points separating the top two, every position matters as the 250 riders hit the track for qualifying at Unadilla.

Cole Davies would go down hard at the end of the second session.

Carson Mumford would be the fastest on track for session two and end up second, very impressive. No one could top Levi Kitchen’s time; if he can get a start, he’ll be a force to be reckoned with. Drew was almost invisible in session one but would put himself on the third step overall. Cole Davies would have a big crash. He sits 5th overall, but how this affects his performance is unclear.
