450 MAIN EVENT

All eyes were on the 450 main event tonight as the checkered flag would decide this year’s title fight. Whoever finished ahead of the other would be crowned the champion. Both of the contenders, Hunter Lawrence and Ken Roczen, started one and two as they rounded the first turn. Roczen struck quickly in turn two and made a decisive pass as they entered into the whoop section.

With Roczen up front, the points leader set the pace and established himself at the front runner with Lawrence only one second behind. The duo held control of the race as they settled into a pace and fans held their breath waiting. It seemed like neither rider wanted to push the pace too high during the first half, which allowed Jorge Prado to close in and pressure Lawrence who ran second.

The moment of the race came on lap 10 when Lawrence tucked the front end as he jumped into turn one. The Honda HRC rider fell from second place and then dropped the bike as he remounted which only added insult to injury. This saw the championship slip away as Lawrence salvaged seventh at the line.

Roczen still controlled the race lead but learned of Lawrence’s mishap and visibly dropped his pace at the front. Chase Sexton closed the gap and made his bid for the lead on the 23rd lap as he moved past Roczen for the top spot. The Kawasaki rider earned his second win of the season and capped the year off with a big victory.

Roczen continued to drop in the running order as he watched where Lawrence was on track. He fell back to fifth but still proved enough to clinch the championship, three points clear of Lawrence who still took second overall. This marked Roczen’s first 450SX championship and the first for Suzuki since Ryan Dungey all the way back in 2010.

Justin Cooper clawed his way through the field and finished second at the line. The Monster Energy Yamaha rider matched his season-best finish and only finished two seconds behind Sexton at the line. Jorge Prado rounded out the box with his second podium of the year. He started and ended the year with podium finishes and showed strong improvement in only his second Supercross season.
