From ISRT Kawasaki
Round 10 of the SuperMotocross World Championship in Birmingham, Alabama, brought a mix of adversity and determination for the ISRT Kawasaki team.
In the 250 class, Noah Viney returned from the break highly motivated and ready to build momentum. Unfortunately, his night took a turn during the second qualifying session when he went down on the start, sustaining an injury that required immediate surgery. Noah remains in the hospital for continued monitoring and is in stable condition at the time of this release. The entire team and its partners are keeping Noah in their thoughts and prayers as he begins the road to recovery.
In the 450 class, Vince Friese delivered another consistent performance. Lining up in Heat 2 with the 9th gate pick, Friese got off to a strong top-five start and battled throughout the race to secure an 8th-place finish, transferring directly to the main event —his 10th consecutive main event appearance of the 2026 season.
In the main event, Friese once again showed his strength off the gate, launching into the top 10 early. He maintained a solid pace throughout the race, putting together one of his strongest rides of the season to finish 13th and earn 9 championship points. Looking ahead to Detroit, the ISRT Kawasaki team remains focused and determined, continuing to push for improvements to both Friese and the machine as they aim to climb further up the results sheet.
