This crash in Free Practice on Friday ended Hunter Lawrence chances of SMX glory with Lawrence riding timed qualifying but not fit enough to race last night – let’s hope he can still race MXON in two weeks for team Australia!
Honda said: “Unfortunately, Hunter Lawrence will not take part in tonight’s motos at the Los Angeles SuperMotocross round. The reigning AMA Motocross 250 champ and 250SX East champ was already banged up from a hard fall in free practice yesterday. Then in today’s second timed qualifying session, he landed wrong from a jump and aggravated his back to the extent that he’s in too much pain to race. Get well soon Hunta, and great job on an amazing season.”
