Aaron Plessinger won his first 450 class race in San Diego, marking a significant achievement after years of competition. He has shown steady improvement since joining Red Bull KTM in 2022, finishing fifth in the SuperMotocross World Championship in 2023. Despite a strong average finish of 4.9 in Supercross, Plessinger faced challenges in 2024, including an elbow injury that sidelined him for five rounds. He secured nine podium finishes and maintained a top-10 performance throughout the season. Plessinger signed a one-year contract extension with KTM for 2025. He will need to secure more victories to compete for a SuperMotocross Championship.
