High altitude, a technical layout, and a 250 field that is getting sharper with every round made for a compelling opening moto in Colorado.
250 Class Moto 1 — Thunder Valley
Thunder Valley presents challenges that no other round on the AMA Pro Motocross schedule can replicate. The altitude at Lakewood, Colorado pushes riders to their physical limits — and in the 250 class, where the racing is already relentlessly aggressive, that extra demand separates the prepared from the rest. Moto 1 saw the field attack a fresh, well-prepped track at high pace from the opening lap.
