First-Time Glory Awaits in Women Pro

2025: A New Women Pro Champion Will Be Crowned

The 2025 USA BMX Women Pro season has been one for the history books—and it’s not over yet. With only a handful of races left before the Grand National, the battle for the #1 plate is down to razor-thin margins.

Canada’s Molly Simpson has been the standout story, racking up a string of wins that signal the rise of a new era in Women Pro. Hot on her heels, though, is Australia’s Lauren Reynolds, whose consistency has kept her firmly in the hunt. Where Simpson has been all-out speed, Reynolds has been podium-steady—setting up a clash of eras that’s destined to define the season.

Scorecard So Far:

• Molly Simpson: 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 3rd → 780pts

• Lauren Reynolds: 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd → 710pts

With just five race days left before Tulsa, replacing scores becomes the game. Simpson sits one win away from the 800-point max, while Reynolds knows that wins—not seconds—are her ticket to a historic breakthrough.

The Grand National’s double points only raise the stakes:

Hypothetical: Molly 800pts - Lauren 740 pts into the Grands

• If Molly beats Lauren, the title belongs to Canada’s rising star.

• If Lauren wins and Molly falters outside the top four, Reynolds could become the first Australian woman to capture the Pro Title.

But the race for the Cup doesn’t end there. Payton Ridenour still lurks within striking distance, inside the 200-point threshold. With five scores left to replace, strong showings in Tulsa, Texas, and the Race of Champions could put her right back in the fight—especially if she can swap out her current 5th and 4th for wins.

The script is set: a clash of generations, a Canadian breakout, an Aussie veteran chasing history, and an American dark horse looking for the late-season charge. The only thing guaranteed in Women Pro is that 2025 will crown a brand-new champion.
