Lars Lindstrom cautiously optimistic on Jett Lawrence injury


After Jett Lawrence pulled off the racetrack at Glendale after dabbing his foot on the ground, we all feared it was the worst case scenario and a possible ACL injury for the defending champion.

But Lars Lindstrom, HRC Honda team manager, told Wil Christian things may not be as bad as they feared.

“He just got a pain he had never gotten before, he has never had any issue like that before. The same thing happened to Ken Roczen at 2023 Salt Lake City when he had that feeling and it’s really scary, coming from someone who has had a lot of knee injuries. It’s a feeling of immediate pain you feel, a really awkward, weird pain“.

“But, after three initial looks from the doctors and doc G and everything like that, it seems stable so we are pretty hopeful that it is just kind of a stinger, and if you have never had that before it can be really scary and painful. I think that’s what happened here, at least that is what we are hoping. Go get an MRI on Monday morning and see where we are at.”
