There were three different career numbers earned this year (highlighted by ** below).<\/p>\n
The 2026 AMA Pro Motocross Champion earned the right to pick a single-digit number, and since Joey Savatgy<\/a> is career #17 (Davies’ amateur number), Davies went with #5. The number was last ran by Ryan Dungey<\/a>, who ran it for several years late in his career until his retirement in 2017. Dungey then ran #5 again in 2022 Pro Motocross when he ran the entire 12-race championship. Dungey\u2019s hold on career #5 ended following the 2023 season, although no one had picked it until Davies did for \u201827. Cool to see a champion pick a single digit again for the first time in a handful of years (Adam Cianciarulo<\/a> picking #9 for 2020 after his 2019 250 Pro Motocross title)!<\/p>\n DiFrancesco had the ability to pick a career number for the first time following his strong 2026 year. He decided to go with #10, which is the lowest non-national championship number. The #10 was last used by Seth Hammaker<\/a> this year, but last used as a career number for Justin Brayton<\/a> until he retired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
