Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Aaron Plessinger will miss this weekend’s Washougal round of the 2025 Pro Motocross Championship as he continues to address ongoing health issues that impacted his performance at the recent RedBud and Spring Creek Nationals.
Ian Harrison, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team Manager:
“The whole Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team is fully behind Aaron Plessinger, everyone’s favorite Cowboy. Our priority right now is making sure he receives the best medical advice and care possible. Aaron came into RedBud not at 100 percent, but he gave it his all and continued to push through to line up at Millville. Unfortunately, he felt the effects of his illness early on and, despite fighting hard in the first moto, was completely depleted and unable to recover for the second. By sitting out Washougal and heading into the break, it gives him a few weeks to focus on figuring out exactly what’s going on with his health. Most importantly, it allows him time to gain peace of mind and make the best decision on when he’s ready to return to racing.”
