450 MOTO 1

The battle we’ve been waiting for shaped up at the start of the first 450 moto as Jett Lawrence grabbed the holeshot over Haiden Deegan and Hunter Lawrence. The three front runners stayed close for the opening few laps but the running order remained the same with Jett leading the way.

As the moto wore on, Jett continued to stretch out his lead over Deegan. There really was no contest for the top spot as Jett stayed mistake free for his first win of the year and the 45th of his career. It only took three motos for Jett to land back at the top of the box.

Hunter Lawrence stalked Deegan for nearly the entire race and finally overtook for second with four minutes left on the race clock. This made it a Lawrence 1-2 with Deegan rounding out the podium in third.

Jorge Prado ran fourth for the majority of the race but suffered a mechanical on the final lap and did not finish the race.  This moved Dylan Ferrandis to fourth with RJ Hampshire rounding out the top five.

After a red flag restart due to Justin Cooper crashing out, both of the Lawrence brothers found themselves up front once again. This time it was Jett leading Hunter instead of the other way around from the first gate drop. Jett held the pace in the first half but upped the ante at the halfway mark to create a gap over second place, Hunter. This allowed him to break away and lead every lap once again before crossing the line over six seconds clear.

Jett easily clinched the win which gave him the overall win with a 1-1 sweep, the 19th of his career. This is also his 25th career overall victory in 29 450MX starts and the first back from his pre-season ankle injury. A win today also bumps hum up to second in the series standings, six behind Hunter

“I knew if I picked a fast pace early that Hunter would be right there with me and would make it a lot harder,” Jett said. “I chose to get a better flow for about 15 minutes and then decided to push for a quick sprint to try and mess up his rhythm, and it worked. It’s good to be back up here with a 1-1.”

Hunter stayed close to Jett for the opening half of the race and traded fast laps with his brother. The round one winner was never able to find his way around the reigning champ and fell back to a lonely second in the second half of the race. 2-2 put Hunter second on the day and keeps him six points up in the championship.

“It’s harder racing against Jett,” Hunter said. “He’s my toughest competitor. It got to a point where I was going to take the time to reset and make a push, but he decided to do a sprint and gapped me. Still a solid result. It was a tough track today, so I’m happy.”

Haiden Deegan started way back in 10th but put in a strong ride in the opening laps. By the halfway point, Deegan passed his way into third but was too far behind the Lawrences to gain any extra ground. Deegan’s 3-3 are his best results of the year and mark his first podium of the year.

“That was good today,” Deegan said. “I just want to get better and better each weekend. That’s the goal, just keep progressing with each moto and just try to be there. We’ll go back, put in the work, and try again next weekend.”

Dylan Ferrandis took home fourth overall for his best finish so far. This is also Ducati’s highest finish in Pro Motocross. Garrett Marchbanks rounded out the top five with 6-5 finishes.

250 MOTO 1

Seth Hammaker absolutely dominated the first 250 moto with a holeshot and a wire-to-wire win. The 250 points leader stole the show early on and sprinted away with the fastest times in the first seven laps of the race. This allowed him to create a gap over second place and manage the race from the front. That’s another moto of maximum points for the current points leader.

Levi Kitchen crossed the line in second in 25o moto one. The Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider started outside the top five but slowly chipped away at the lead pack. Kitchen turned up the pace and was the fastest rider on track for the entire second half of the moto. Once again, that’s a Kawasaki 1-2 in the opening moto.

Jo Shimoda finished third for his best moto result of the year. He also came through traffic and made a number of strong passes around Nick Romano and Julien Beaumer to find his spot on the box. Shimoda faced off with Kitchen in the second half of the moto but lost the spot to the Kawasaki rider. Still, this is Shimoda’s strongest finish of the first two rounds.

Levi Kitchen stayed upright through the first turn but still came through outside the top five. The Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider was once again the fastest man on track for the second half of the race and found himself in second place. Here he had the overall win locked down with 2-2 scores and he cruised it in with Davies being so far ahead. This is Kitchen’s first win since the 2024 Budds Creek National, ending a 13-race winless drought. He also cut into Hammaker’s points lead and trails by just seven.

“Luck was on my side today,” Kitchen said. “I stayed out of the carnage [in Moto 2] and just tried to get around it all. There was a massive gap to the lead [once I got to second] so I didn’t want to risk pushing too hard. It’s been a long time since I won so it feels good. I just want to keep the momentum going.”

450MX QUALIFYING

Haiden Deegan came out with a statement as he posted the fastest qualifying time in the first 450 session, but it was Jett Lawrence who ended up on top at the end of the second 450 session. The defending champ set the time to beat and went half a second quicker than anyone else on track. He’ll go to the line first for the first 450 gate drop. Deegan’s time still held up for second overall with Jorge Prado rounding out the top three. Last week’s winner Hunter Lawrence fell in the second session but still clocked fourth ahead of Justin Cooper in fifth.
