About Ryder DiFrancesco

Ryder DiFrancesco has emerged as one of the most consistent young talents in the 250 class. The Bakersfield, California native turned pro in 2022 and steadily climbed the ranks, collecting four 250SX Futures wins and earning the 2020 AMA Motocross Youth Rider of the Year award along the way.

After stops with Pro Circuit Kawasaki and the Troy Lee Designs GasGas program, DiFrancesco joined Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing and immediately became a championship threat — finishing fourth in 250SX West, fifth in 250MX, and battling for the 250SMX title all the way to the World Championship Final.
