Hunter Lawrence took the first 450 Supercross win of his career by going head to head with long time race leader, Ken Roczen plus Cooper Webb and Eli Tomac all running nose to tail in a tense race.

Once Hunter passed Roczen late, he edged out to a three second lead over Tomac who passed Webb and Roczen to get there with Webb taking third and an ill Roczen just not quite having the energy to sustain the pace late in fourth.

Justin Cooper took fifth with Chase Sexton sixth as Lawrence lapped up to the top teb such was the intense pace of the top four riders!

Hunter said: “I’m pretty happy to tick that box. We have an amazing group of people around me. It was tough. It’s cool racing those boys, some back and forth with Kenny. I’m racing with the legends – awesome.”

Championship standings:

250 East

Pierce Brown took a brilliant win to start the 250 East coast series in contrast to a painful opener last year when he crashed out of the lead and broke his back. This was redemption for Brown and all that pain, rehab and training was worth the effort!

Brown said: “I don’t even know where to start. There was so many days I didn’t know if this would happen. So many doubts, I’m just thankful I didn’t stop fighting.”

Brown held off Jo Shimoda who led early by three seconds until a flashing red light made him roll a double to become the chaser but he too had to be pleased with second with only three weeks back on the bike after breaking his neck in the off season!

Third on the podium was Daxton Bennick who also came back from injury making all three podium riders happy with their ride and determination to come back from adversity.

Seth Hammaker and Cole Davies banged bars going into turn one, Hammaker stayed up but Davies went down with the Kiwi kid coming back to fifth as Hammaker took fourth.
