Triumph Factory Racing’s Jalek Swoll will sit out the remainder of the 2025 Pro Motocross season and the upcoming SMX Playoffs after sustaining a torn calf muscle during qualifying at the Ironman National. Although the injury does not require surgery, rest is necessary, and when combined with a torn thumb ligament sustained earlier in the year, the decision was made for Jalek to focus on a full recovery in preparation for the 2026 season.

After recovering from an Achilles injury in the off-season, Swoll returned to Pro Motocross at round three and immediately impressed. Placing 10th at High Point and then 11th at Southwick marked a strong return for the Floridian, who then took his TF 250-X to a stunning second overall at the iconic RedBud National.
Jalek then claimed ninth overall at Spring Creek before crashing out at Washougal while leading the opening moto. At last weekend’s ninth round, the 25-year-old injured his calf during qualifying and put in a gritty ride to finish 10th in race one. Frustratingly, a collision with another rider in the second moto ruled him out of the running.
With little to gain by racing while injured, Triumph Factory Racing and Swoll have opted to shift focus to 2026. This approach will allow for complete rehabilitation and ensure optimal preparation for the season ahead.
