The 250SX East division just got a lot more exciting. At Round 15 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season in Pittsburgh, Tom Vialle delivered a stellar performance to claim his first victory of the season — and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
After steadily building momentum throughout the season, Vialle finally found the perfect combination of speed, consistency, and racecraft to stand atop the podium. His win not only marks a major career milestone but also tightens the championship race heading into the critical final rounds.
Seth Hammaker continues to lead the 250SX East standings, but just barely. His advantage over R.J. Hampshire has shrunk to a razor-thin three points, setting up a dramatic battle as the series prepares for the highly anticipated East/West Shootout. With Vialle’s recent victory adding even more pressure to the title contenders, fans can expect fireworks in the coming weeks.
For Vialle, a former two-time MX2 World Champion, this breakthrough win in Supercross shows he’s quickly adapting to the American style of racing. His blend of European finesse and evolving aggressiveness on the tight indoor tracks could make him a serious wildcard as the championship race hits its peak.
As the final rounds loom, one thing is clear: the 250SX East title is far from decided — and Tom Vialle is officially in the mix.
Stay tuned, because the battle for the crown is just getting started.
