Jett got back to 24th and no points – and will go to the line with 24th gate pick for moto two!

Lawrence said: “I used all my my upper body in thr first part and was feeling okay, once that got tired, I tried using my legs and my leg wouldn’t work. I landed on the footpeg and got a chunk taken out, less muscle you could almost say! It sucks, go back and recover, it’s going to make it a better story in the long run.”

The momentum has shifted and Sexton is the now the red plate holder in 450 motocross. This championship is on!

Sexton said: “That was a year and a half built up frustration. That was wide open from the start to the end. I don’t even know what to say, that was the best ride I think of my life. This one means a lot.”
