The List: Starts Until First 250SX Win

Last Saturday, Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis became the 108th rider to win in 125/250SX, which debuted in 1985. Ferrandis earned his first win in his 19th start. Earlier this year his teammate Colt Nichols earned his first career win in the class at Anaheim 1. Nichols secured his first win in his 22nd career start.

With that in mind, we decided to look at the riders who have won their first career race in 250SX since 2009 and how many starts it took them to capture their first win.

Results are taken from the Vault and include all races in 2019 through Seattle.
