A devastated Jett Lawrence is trying to come to terms with a second supercross season in a row going down the drain due to injury, this time a broken ankle/foot after a crash on Friday.
Jett said on Instagram: “Just got out of surgery. 😭 Fractures to my Talus and Navicular Bone in my right ankle/foot. My freaking goal was to complete all 31 races, and give myself the best chance at each title. Didn’t even get a shot at that… I just gotta rebuild and get back to doing what I love the most. ❤️ See everyone soon!”
In the Honda press release Jett admitted he is at a loss for words at what has happened: “Words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now. The team and I put in so much work during the offseason to improve. I keep reminding myself that we have overcome challenges before, and this is no different. I’ll put the same focus into my recovery that I put into being the best athlete I can be each day. My goal is to get this ankle fully healed up and return as competitive as ever and make the 2026 season as successful as we can.”
Lawrence had never broken a bone when he turned pro at 16. Now, he is facing a third season in a row of injury and rehab and a battle of the mind and body to come back and win again. Even for one of the most talented riders ever, the sport can be brutal.
