Casey Cochran will miss the remainder of the 2025 Pro Motocross season after sustaining a shoulder injury during qualifying at Southwick.
The 250MX rookie standout is scheduled to undergo surgery next week to repair ligament damage in his shoulder, marking an unfortunate early end to his outdoor campaign.
Cochran dislocated his shoulder during the second qualifying session at Round 5. It was a brutal blow after a promising start to the day, where he posted the ninth-fastest time in the opening practice session—evidence of the speed and progression he’s shown throughout the year.
Further medical evaluation confirmed the injury involved ligament damage, which will require surgical intervention. Recovery is expected to sideline him for the remainder of the season.
“It’s a tough break for Casey, especially after the adversity he’s already battled with the injury he sustained prior to Supercross,” said Sean Murphy, Rockstar Energy GASGAS Factory Racing Team Manager. “He’s shown incredible determination, and we were looking forward to getting a full outdoor season under his belt. But Casey is an extremely determined rider, and we’re confident he will put in the work to get back on the bike as soon as he can.”
The setback follows Cochran’s impressive return from a broken femur that kept him out of the Supercross season. Despite limited time on the 250F, he quickly made his presence felt in Pro Motocross with two top-10 finishes in the opening four rounds. His standout ride came at Hangtown, where he led five laps in Moto 1 and scored the holeshot in Moto 2.
