PREPARED FOR ANYTHING Jason Alosi Sweeps Pro Moto 30 Class Championship By Mike Vieira Photos by Get Some Photo Wins in the Pro Moto 30 Class in all the 2025 SCORE races put Jason Alosi on top for the year, despite an injury that prevented him from fully participating in the SCORE Baja 400. “I typically start all the races,” says Jason, “I do my best to get out in front, and have a decent lead when I hand the bike off.” The season started off smoothly as Alosi, along with co-riders Schane Schorno and Tucker Hopkins, rode solidly throughout the course in the King Shocks 38th SCORE San Felipe 250, ending up with about a 25-minute margin for the win, despite a VCP penalty. A couple of minor spills caused no significant time losses and no damage to their Honda CRF450X, which was trouble-free during the race. For the BFGoodrich Tires SCORE 57th Baja 500, the team added Michael Lange to their roster of riders, and everyone kept the bike upright to bring home another smoothly run win with about a thirty-minute lead, with no mishaps or mechanical issues. Alosi and Hopkins were both looking forward to riding some extended sections in the SCORE Baja 400, as that race had given them some problems in past years. Unfortunately, Alosi suffered an injury days before the race, while practicing. A broken foot was among them, and that made it impossible for him to ride the first 150 miles, as planned. He ended up simply taking the bike over the starting line to get credit as the rider of record, then Hopkins rode the first 345 miles. Schane Schorno was not available for the race, so Ryan Liebelt was brought in to ride to the finish. Because the team had solid preparation and logistics planning, the necessary last-minute changes didn’t prevent them from taking the lead and holding it throughout the race. As the BFGoodrich Tires 58th SCORE Baja 1000 approached, Alosi was still recovering from surgery after his injuries and wasn’t sure that he’d be able to ride in the race. The team was ready with a plan if he was unable to compete, but he was able to answer the call. He says he wasn’t feeling at 100 percent, and was tiring out quickly while pre-running, but he was still able to create about a 15-minute lead during his 220-mile ride before handing off to co-rider Schorno. He had a clean ride and maintained the lead for 90 miles, at which point co-rider Michael Lange took over. Lange ran into trouble around mile 340 that caused damage to the GPS and Stella systems, as well as the bike itself. He continued at reduced speeds, but lost the lead. Service at mile 460 got the Honda back in shape, co-rider Mikey Fermoile took over for a clean ride to Mile 603. Tucker Hopkins then got his turn and was able to regain first place after about 120 miles of effort. He kept pressing, and the team ended up with more than a thirty-minute lead in the final results. Looking back over 2025, Alosi says, “All season long, everybody had done their part. Everybody stepped up, especially when I was down and out. We never really had any major mechanical issues, a few falls, but nothing we couldn’t overcome. At the end of the day, we were four for four with the championship, and everybody is one piece. It’s hard to ask for much more than that.” He offers many thanks to Geoff Hill at Baja Bound Insurance as the team’s main sponsor and huge supporter, and to Schane Schorno, not only as a co-rider, but to his companies, Quality Transport and Truck-Rail Handling, for their help, in addition to all the other sponsors who aided in the team’s success. Friends and family members, at home and on the course, also played a big part in helping capture the 2025 championship for Alosi. Due to scheduling conflicts for various team members, after earning the 300X plate, the team will not likely be able to repeat the championship during the 2026 season, but will definitely plan to compete in at least the SCORE Baja 500 and SCORE Baja 1000.
