With the absence of Ken Roczen and only one factory 450 Honda on track in the premier class, Jett Lawrence was asked in the press conference if he would race a 450 on the West coast. The younger Lawrence brother wasn’t positive on doing so but feels Hunter would shine on the bigger machine!
Jett, who looks to be in a class of his own in the 250 east division right now, said after taking another easy win: “I think I’ll worry about 450 when I get to it. Anytime that I’ll have away from supercross I’ll be focusing on trying to defend the outdoor title, because that’s a whole other basket of stuff. I think I probably won’t. Maybe Hunter. I feel like he’s going to be pretty lethal on a 450. We’ll have to wait and see. In my eyes, I still think he sucks. [laughs] I think any time if I’m away from the East Coast, I’m going to be focusing on outdoors. That’s my next main goal is defending that. I know that the boys are going to come in swinging pretty hard.”
