250SX East/West Showdown 🏁 | Honda HRC Progressive Indianapolis SX Recap
Honda HRC Progressive took on the season’s first 250SX East/West Showdown in Indianapolis, where both Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas represented the team on their CRF250RWE race machines. Shimoda battled near the front early on before finishing sixth, while Hymas fought through adversity after an early fall but was unable to finish. In the 450SX division, Honda’s satellite teams continued to lead the brand’s efforts while the factory riders remained sidelined with injuries.
In the 250SX East/West main event, Shimoda got a strong jump out of the gate and ran near the front early. After engaging in several battles on the soft, rutted, technical track, the Japanese rider crossed the finish line in sixth place. Meanwhile, Hymas experienced a challenging evening. A tipover in the sand section set him back early, but he pushed forward with determination. Unfortunately, another crash ended his night early.
