Triumph Factory Racing travelled north to Thunder Valley, Colorado, for round three of the 2025 AMA Pro Motocross Championship, continuing their steady climb towards the 250MX podium. Mikkel Haarup once again demonstrated strong form in the first moto, battling near the top three, before thrilling fans with a determined comeback in the second race.

Haarup secured a top-five start in moto one. Building on insights gained at the previous round at Hangtown, he surged into third just a few laps in. After intense on-track battles and learning the demands of the Colorado circuit, he ultimately crossed the line in seventh. A crash on the opening lap of the second moto forced him to charge from the very back, but in what was arguably the performance of the day, he rallied to 12th place, earning eighth overall.

“I think this was rather successful, taking everything into consideration. I had a good start in moto one and made passes on the first lap for the first time! That was good. I am getting the intensity up a little bit. I had a bad jump in the second moto and was in the pack. I took a trip into the fence and had to untangle myself but came from dead last to 12th. I’m happy with my efforts.”
