Adam Cianciarulo Announces Retirement from Racing

Something that most people probably knew was coming sooner than later, Adam Cianciarulo has announced his retirement from racing following the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross season. He won’t be competing in Pro Motocross or SMX playoffs either, so his last race will be round 17 of Supercross in Utah in May. Adam has always been a personal favorite of ours that was both filled with the joy of watching him dominate at times and also his suffering from injury and weird stumbles that unfortunately affected his professional accomplishments. Adam has always been authentic and kind to anyone in the sport and that’s a big part of what will make him successful in his future endeavors.

“AC” immediately impressed aboard his KX450 scoring a podium in his first ever Premier Class race, the 2020 Anaheim Opener, followed by a runner-up finish in the 450 Class Motocross Championship. Cianciarulo put together his best 450SX Class season last year with a ninth overall in the point standings, including 12 top-10s, two top-fives, and a podium in Denver. With five races to go in the 2024 season, Cianciarulo holds 119 top-10’s in 154 SMX starts (77%). He added 78 top-fives and earned his 50th SMX podium with a third overall at High Point last summer. His 20 career SMX wins are good for 37th all-time: 11 250SX wins, 7 250 Motocross Class wins, 2 450 Motocross Class wins. In Premier Class racing alone, he has been inside the top-10 48 times in 66 tries (73%).

Adam's retirement marks the end of an era filled with passion, dedication, and countless inspiring moments on and off the track. For Adam's full retirement story, tune into his Plugged in Podcast on YouTube embedded below.
