Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki will have a four-rider 250MX lineup this Saturday at Unadilla, with Jo Shimoda and Seth Hammaker joined by the returning Cameron McAdoo and Ryder DiFrancesco.

Round nine of 2022 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross marks McAdoo’s first competitive outing since his heavy fall in the season-opening moto at Fox Raceway, where he broke his sternum and suffered internal bleeding.

DiFrancesco made his pro debut with the team at RedBud earlier this year and also raced at Spring Creek before competing in the AMA Amateur National Championship at Loretta Lynn Ranch last week. His strongest result in 250MX to date is P8 in the second moto at round seven.

Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team manager Iain Southwell stated: “It was a nice three-week break for us. Everyone is refreshed and ready to go again.

“Jo, Seth, Cameron, Jett [Reynolds] and Ryder have been riding together during the break with Cameron making his return with us at Unadilla. We have done a little testing with him to get his bike up to speed with Jo and Seth’s current setup.

“Jett has been making progress and we hope to see him back shortly. After his final appearance at Loretta Lynn’s, Ryder will rejoin us for the final four rounds of the motocross season. That makes us a four-rider team for Unadilla!”

Last week at Loretta Lynn Ranch, DiFrancesco was fifth in 250 Open Pro Sport and 11th in 250 Pro Sport. Notably, he won a moto in both categories, but notched a P13 and DNF for the final race in each class respectively, limiting his overall finishes.
