2024 Pro Motocross is nearing a conclusion now, yes, but the addition of new athletes makes round nine at Unadilla feel like the start of a new season. The title battles are all but over – Chase Sexton and Haiden Deegan have firm grips on their respective championship leads – but an abundance of storylines lie within the 450MX and 250MX classes. A lot of those are covered in immense detail in this video from press day at Unadilla.

Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki's Ken Roczen talks in detail about jumping back onto his RM-Z450 and into the routine of Pro Motocross. It's been a trickier period than most would have expected and he is candid about that in this pre-race chat. In addition, Honda HRC's Hunter Lawrence talks about the blood tests that were done after Washougal and the decision to hop onto the 2025 CRF450R so early. Oh, the return of Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Cooper Webb makes for an intriguing interview too. Much like Roczen, his path back to the races has been bumpier than first thought. Twisted Tea Suzuki presented by Progressive Insurance's Colt Nichols discusses his new home and Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Haiden Deegan opens up about his stance with three to go too.

@mjcharb4283 yesterday

Deegan was very polished in this interview, shows he’s maturing. Answered each question with a well thought out response. And I only remember one “100 percent” thrown in there 😂
@Jack-by2hg yesterday

If Ken Roczen would’ve just trained 5 years straight and have a factory bike he’d be a champion.
@woundedtiger7547 yesterday

@ritchiethorup yesterday

Web looks like he picked up a few LBees
@allmtbnzscottbrownhill2896 yesterday

Deegan has certainly changed his technique in 2024 outdoors compared to last year. More corner speed, more calculated but still sends and gets lose when needed. I think his 2025 SX will be very impressive with his new skill set.

Can’t lie, I have had a huge breakthrough during this interview!!! First, Lewis’ accent didn’t grate on my nerves (just my opinion!) Secondly, Hunter did a great interview. He will never be Jett when it comes to personality! No problem; I think Hunter has loosened up this year and we’re seeing more about him as a racer and person. I like it.
