Conversation: Jett Lawrence

Round three winner details Thunder Valley race weekend.

It was another convincing weekend for defending 450MX champion Jett Lawrence, who delivered his second victory of Pro Motocross 2026 via a 1-1 scorecard at Thunder Valley. In this Conversation feature, Lawrence recounts his weekend in Colorado, as well as claiming the red plate three rounds into the season.

Congratulations on now earning yourself the red plate. Can you talk a little bit about your day, and then also, I’m sure we’d all like to hear about the status of your foot and how that’s affecting you.

[I’m] super pumped to have [the] red plate. It’s obviously good to have. Doesn’t mean anything at this point, really. It’s more important if you have it at the last round, so not really much changes. To be fair, my ankle felt really, really good this weekend. I still can’t ride normal – I just have a little bit less pain. Every now and then, I still jar it a bit, but it was good, honestly. Even after walking around, it’s getting a lot better, which I’m happy about because it means I don’t have to struggle with walking as much as I did before, so I think it’s looking positive. I think each weekend we make some good strides in improving it, where it feels like it’s kind of going back to normal. Even during the week, when Dr. G adjusts my ankle, he would pull on it…only pop the left side of my foot, and my right side was still stuck. It was still pretty stiff going side to side, and this week we were able to get both sides to pop and a lot more range of movement. I was able to get a lot more range of movement side to side, so that was really, really good. Hopefully, each weekend it keeps making more improvements.

It looked like you were out there for a zone two ride, and I know yesterday you said you’re trying to keep your ankle at a seven out of 10, but in the first moto, you had some battles with your brother and [Haiden] Deegan. It looked like you might’ve gone more into that zone three or zone four threshold – do you just have more in the tank, or are you only riding around 80 percent?

That first one, I was going slow. I didn’t have a flow on the track at all, and you could have said zone two, honestly, but surprisingly, because I was so disjointed and didn’t have much of a flow, I almost got more tired in that one than I did the second one. The second one I was pushing, you could say, harder everywhere, but I didn’t get as tired as in the first one. That first one, I just couldn’t crack the flow. And obviously, with my foot, there are just some things – the reaction side of things – you want both feet to be on the pegs where sometimes my right foot’s just really light in areas, so when it flicks, it flicks my right foot off. So, it was not ideal, but we were just in defense mode in that first one. I think we did pretty well.

Is there any hesitancy in putting your foot down, any worry about dabbing it with the ankle, and does that throw your rhythm off just a little bit?

Yeah, I mean, I’ve dabbed it a few times, and it gives this kind of sharp pain up my ankle into my calf, but I try not to dab it too much because it takes a few turns to kind of flare it back down, get it back to normal. So, I try not to, I’ve been pretty good with not dabbing it, and when I have dabbed it, I’ve been really light with it. Try not to stomp it as you normally would. So yeah, it definitely would affect me for a few turns, but it recovers fairly quickly, thankfully.

I heard you mention the track conditions, and that’s been a little bit of a subject around the pits. I’ve heard this weekend, when you go back and look at this race from the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, it’s traditionally a hard pack race. Ruts where they saturate it, but they get hard-packed deep. We’re kind of in that mulch era again, where it’s really spongy in places, and certain areas look decent. Walk me through what you thought of the track changes and the conditions today.

They obviously added mulch to the track, which I don’t think is a bad thing. It’s not like it’s a terrible thing. I think that it’s just added too close to the race. I think if they had added it in the months prior, when the mulch can work into the soil and mix, then I think it’ll hold better moisture. They add the mulch to hold the moisture, but right now it’s the mulch on top, and then there’s still a rock-hard base underneath, so it’s basically worse. I think if they added it sooner in the year, where it gives it one or two months to mix in with the dirt, I think it’d be a lot better. Because otherwise, you just get this where everything kind of pushes, nothing really holds. Eventually, it blows out and gets this – you get a hard edge, but then a slick base, and it gets loose. This creates a really untrustworthy feeling with your front and rear wheel. I mean, my first few laps when I went out there, I had both wheels sliding because of the mulch and the water on top of it as well. I think if they can do that, I think it’ll be a lot better.

Secondly, Lucas and Sacha Coenen were here as well this weekend. A lot of people compare it a little bit to your story, it’s a little different. You guys went from Australia to Europe to do GPs and then to the US, but I mean same for them, starting the GPs, two brothers chasing a dream, wanting to come live the American dream. You’ve gone to race them a couple of times now. What do you think of their progress? What are your expectations if they’re able to come here in 2027?

It’s sick to see. I mean, I think I said it maybe yesterday – not many people get to experience the feeling that my brother and I get when we do well, when in 2023 Hunter won the 250 championship, and I won the 450 championship. We’re the only people that can really relate to that, and now, honestly, the Coenen brothers [can]. Lucas is doing really well in MXGP, and Sacha is as well in the 250 class, MX2. So, it’s cool when you see two brothers doing well. It’s sick. We had Jeremy Martin and Alex Martin before Hunter and I, and when you see those two do well, it’s always cool. It’s like a family thing. So, it was cool to see them come over. I got to race them last year at Ironman and have already seen them improve just from then. So, it’s cool to see, especially at a young age, being 19 years old, I remember when I was 19 riding a 450, you just keep learning and keep learning. You have that young energy, so it’s really, really cool to see. And they came over [at] a tough track. As I said, this dirt was really kind of weird and hard to adapt to.

Last week, you talked about being able to manage your flow, especially in moto two. This week was a contrast – you couldn’t manage the flow quite as much in the first race. Is that what we saw? And did you learn anything by being pressed as hard as you were by both Haiden and Hunter?

I learned that I didn’t have a good flow – I can tell you that for sure. It’s hard to learn much when you’re out front on someone else, but you kind of get a feeling a little bit on where they’re going to pass, and you can kind of read what’s his name like a book, where he is going to try and pass. So, it’s a little easier to kind of defend that. Hunter gets a lot more creative. He was able to get around me, and I was able to kind of fire back and get a good run-up to the start straight. I wouldn’t say I learned a crazy amount then, when I’m probably battling with them more behind.

Bam Bam Out... High Point National

Back injury rules Barcia out of High Point National

Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati rider taking the weekend off.

A back injury will rule Justin Barcia out of Saturday’s High Point National,

Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing has announced.

Barcia compressed his back during 450MX qualifying at Thunder Valley on the weekend and, despite finishing 15th in moto one, ultimately opted out of the second race.

Still experiencing discomfort, the decision has been made for the 34-year-old to sit out round four, and then he will also take advantage of the upcoming weekend off prior to round five.

“Justin is one of the toughest riders in the paddock and gave everything he had in that first moto in Thunder Valley,” commented team manager Josh Wisenor. “Right now, the priority is allowing him the time to recover properly, and we all look forward to having him back behind the gate.”

Barcia is also positioned 15th in the Pro Motocross Championship standings following three rounds. Teammate Dylan Ferrandis enters Mt. Morris fifth in points after delivering a standout fourth-place result at Hangtown.

Next High Point

The season opening western swing of the Pro Motocross Championship, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, has produced an exciting start to the second half of the 2026 Monster Energy SMX World Championship, with dynamic title fights taking shape in both the 450SMX and 250SMX classes. Now, the summer campaign heads east for the first time for the annual Father’s Day tradition from Pennsylvania’s High Point Raceway, the “Country Club of Motocross.”

This year’s 49th running will once again receive title support from one of the series’ newest partners, UFO Plast, the Italian-based leader of motorcycle accessories and components and the “Official and Exclusive Plastics Partner” of the SMX World Championship. The UFO Plast High Point National will take place this Saturday, June 20, for Round 21 of the SMX regular season.

“You couldn’t ask for a better and more compelling start to the summer season. This weekend we’ll see the third and fourth different athletes to carry the red plate as points leaders, and we’re not even a quarter of the way through the championship,” said Tim Cotter, Director, MX Sports Pro Racing. “Father’s Day weekend at High Point is one of the most beloved traditions we have in American motocross, and it serves as a home race of sorts for Pro Motocross, with MX Sports Pro Racing headquartered in nearby Morgantown, West Virginia. We take enormous pride in the celebrated legacy of this event, which started with the Coombs family back in 1977, and have been honored to work with such an amazing partner in UFO Plast to usher in five decades of racing at the ‘County Club of Motocross.’”

High Point Raceway has served as one of the pillars of the Pro Motocross Championship across six different decades. The venue hugs the Mason-Dixon Line, sitting on the border of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, with a track composed of rolling terrain surrounded by a natural amphitheater, providing some of the best spectator sight lines in the entire series.

The track itself is a favorite amongst racers, with constant shifts in elevation, highly technical jumps and rhythm sections, on and off-camber corners, and ample passing opportunities. The abundance of green surrounding the track, along with meticulous landscaping, has bestowed High Point with the tag of “Country Club of Motocross.” Additionally, its longstanding tradition as the sport’s own unique Father’s Day celebration makes High Point one of the most anticipated stops on the championship calendar every summer.

Founded in Tuscany in 1977, the same year as the first High Point National, UFO Plast is one of the motorcycle industry’s most highly regarded brands worldwide, despite a relatively subdued presence in America. However, through its year-old partnership with the SMX World Championship, the Pro Motocross Championship, and the High Point National, that domestic profile has grown significantly.

UFO’s fingerprint on the Pro Motocross Championship has quickly become one of the most recognizable elements of the races, with the trademark white track markers that line each layout, defining the boundaries of each racetrack. This distinctive on-track identity has contributed to building the brand’s awareness in the United States, a market UFO recognizes as a vital component of the company’s future.

As part of its embrace as title partner of the High Point National, and SMX as a whole, UFO Plast is currently offering savings of up to 50% on plastic parts. Additionally, all orders with a minimum of $98 receive free shipping.

On the racetrack, the uncertainty surrounding Honda HRC Progressive’s Jett Lawrence coming into the summer has seemingly been erased on the heels of back-to-back 1-1 performances and his newfound position as the 450SMX Class points leader entering High Point. While his foot and ankle injury is still in the midst of a long recovery, it appears to do little to slow Lawrence down thus far.

A big victory this past weekend at Thunder Valley resulted in a 14-point swing with older brother and Honda HRC Progressive teammate Hunter Lawrence, with eight points now separating them. Adding to Jett’s momentum surge is a three-year unbeaten streak in the premier class at High Point and a four-year winning reign that dates back to his final season in the 250SMX Class. Saturday’s return to Pennsylvania is poised to serve as the next chapter of the Lawrence versus Lawrence sibling rivalry, but Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rookie Haiden Deegan continues to make strides in his competitiveness each week and could also factor into the battle for victory.

Over in the 250SMX Class, an excitingly chaotic start to the season has produced three different winners in three races and has been defined by division-wide struggle to find consistency. The parity has made each gate drop even more unpredictable and has fostered a tight three-rider battle atop the standings. The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki duo of Seth Hammaker and Levi Kitchen, the first two overall winners of the summer, are in a share of the points lead heading into High Point, which will provide the rare opportunity to see two bikes with red plates next to one another in the same pit. Lurking just six points back in third is Honda HRC Progressive’s Jo Shimoda, who became the third different winner this past weekend. Perhaps the most unique factoid heading into High Point is back-to-back races in which the overall winner failed to win a moto.

Complementing the action of the 450SMX and 250SMX classes will be the third round of the Women’s Motocross Championship Powered by Synchrony (WMX). Reigning back-to-back champion Lachlan Turner has been perfect thus far aboard her Altus Motorsports bLU cRU Yamaha with two 1-1 performances. However, Quad Lock Honda’s Charli Cannon has become the thorn in Turner’s side, leading every moto thus far and giving the champ arguably her toughest challenge to date. The visit signifies the WMX’s anticipated return to High Point for the first time since the 2024 season.

The UFO Plast High Point National will get underway this Saturday, June 20, with on-track action starting at 5 a.m. PT / 8 a.m. ET, followed by opening ceremonies at 9:15 a.m. PT / 12:15 p.m. ET before the gate drops on motos at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET. Comprehensive live streaming coverage from High Point will air exclusively on Peacock, beginning with Race Day Live at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET before coverage of the motos gets underway at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET.

Coenen Brothers

Lucas and Sasha Coenen showed brilliance in Thunder Valley on Saturday and they caught up with the US media and below is what they told them. Lucas went 2-2 and Sasha 14-1, but overall, they both impressed the American public.

Podium for Lucas, race win for Sacha Coenen

The trip to the USA could hardly have been more successful for the Coenen brothers. At the Thunder Valley National in Colorado, both Lucas and Sacha Coenen were immediately among the fastest drivers in their classes, causing a sensation on American soil.

While Lucas Coenen went straight onto the podium in the 450cc class in his first start in the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, his twin brother Sacha won one of the two 250cc races.

Lucas is shaking up the 450 elite.

How competitive Lucas Coenen would be in Colorado was one of the most exciting questions before the weekend. The answer came quickly. The current MXGP championship leader already qualified in second place. He then confirmed his speed in both races, crossing the finish line in second place in each.

Particularly noteworthy: The Belgian was competing in an AMA Pro Motocross National for the first time ever and ultimately only had to concede defeat to Jett Lawrence.

Coenen himself had deliberately kept expectations low. "I didn't really have any expectations. I just wanted to have fun and learn," the 19-year-old explained after the race. And that's exactly what he seemed to achieve on the track. The KTM rider appeared to be getting more comfortable with each lap.

Praise for the Lawrence brothers

Despite his strong result, Coenen remained realistic after the race. He was particularly impressed by Jett and Hunter Lawrence. "These guys are riding at an incredibly high level," the Belgian explained. "Racing against them here and learning from them was a great experience."

At the same time, his performance made it clear that the step between MXGP and AMA Pro Motocross is no longer as big as many observers had long assumed.

Sacha strikes back after setback

Sacha Coenen also showed why he currently leads the MX2 World Championship. The Belgian was among the fastest in qualifying, but a crash in the first race dropped him far back. As a result, he could no longer manage better than 14th place.

However, he left no doubt about that in the second race.

After grabbing the holeshot, Sacha controlled the race from the front and cruised to his first race win in the AMA Pro Motocross Championship. His 14th-place finish and the victory were enough to secure him fourth place overall for the day.

Despite the disappointment, satisfaction prevailed after the race. The victory confirmed for the Belgian that he can immediately compete for top positions on American tracks as well.

KTM Europe deliberately took a risk

That the two Coenen brothers were even able to compete in Colorado was by no means a given. Both Lucas and Sacha are currently fighting for titles in their respective world championships. Accordingly, the trip to the USA represented a certain risk.

The satisfaction within the KTM camp is likely to be all the greater. Lucas gained valuable experience against the American elite, while Sacha even managed to secure a race win.

Now the World Championship awaits again

The two Belgians didn't have much time to celebrate, however. Immediately after the race, Lucas and Sacha began their journey back to Europe. The next round of the Motocross World Championship is already scheduled for next weekend in Montevarchi.

Lucas travels to Italy still leading the MXGP overall standings. Sacha will start there as the leader of the MX2 World Championship.

Thunder Valley was therefore just a brief detour across the Atlantic. One that impressively demonstrated that the Coenen brothers now belong to the absolute top tier on the other side of the world as well.

Pro Circuit Is Back!

The Pro Circuit resurgence led by Kitchen and Hammaker

Section: Competition Post: Kane Taylor

250MX contenders split wins across opening rounds of 2026 season.

Two rounds into Pro Motocross 2026 has signalled a resurgence for Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki, with Levi Kitchen and Seth Hammaker splitting wins at Fox Raceway and Hangtown. It has been a while since the iconic team has looked this strong in 250MX and early signs suggest that this summer could finally mark a return to title-winning form.

It was always clear that this year would usher in a new era for the 250MX class, with both Lawrence brothers and Haiden Deegan moving on and leaving the door wide-open for a new contender to emerge at the front of the division.

Looking back, the class has been defined by the Lawrences and Deegan for the better part of five seasons. Jett captured titles in 2021 and 2022, before Hunter followed in 2023. Deegan then completed back-to-back championships in 2024 and 2025, leaving little opportunity for the Mitch Payton-led Pro Circuit team to break through during one of the strongest runs of talent the category has seen.

In fact, it has been since Adam Cianciarulo’s 250MX title in 2019 that Pro Circuit has achieved a number one plate, although with the aforementioned trio having graduated to 450MX, it seems finally time for Kitchen and Hammaker to step up.

Image: Octopi Media.

They’ve also been suppressed by the Lawrence/Deegan juggernaut, offering a challenge at times, but unable to sustain a season-long push. And you can see now they’re prepared to take the reins, with those two – as well as Mitch – believing it’s time that they get their share.

They are far from alone in that pursuit, however, with former national winners Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas, along with Cole Davies, all viewing themselves as legitimate title contenders in the battle for 250MX supremacy. So far, it has been Hammaker and Kitchen who have struck first, with Hammaker claiming a convincing victory at the season-opener before Kitchen responded with a win of his own at Hangtown.

As a result, the pair sits first and second in the championship standings, with Seth holding a seven-point advantage. Credit should also go to fill-in rider Nick Romano, who occupies sixth in the standings after two rounds.

The atmosphere inside the Pro Circuit camp appears equally strong. Speaking after the race, Kitchen acknowledged the team’s high motivation levels, suggesting that both the riders and crew are carrying an added determination to return the iconic program to the top of the 250MX division.

“It’s been awesome,” commented Kitchen. “When the boss is happy, things are great, and it’s just progress from everybody, I think. Everybody’s just motivated, and I think by Seth doing good, me doing good, Nick is crushing it – we all get along, and we all push each other.

“I think it’s important to have that dynamic, and honestly, all of us here kind of have a chip on our shoulder, I feel like, and especially I feel like the Pro Circuit team too, so it just motivates you, and I’m really happy for everybody. We’re all working our ass off and trying to get better, and I think we’re getting a lot better.”

It’s been a difficult road at times – particularly for Levi. Early in his professional career, he was often viewed as a rider capable of matching Deegan, but a combination of injuries and inconsistency prevented him from fully realizing that potential on a sustained basis. With that in mind, there is every reason to believe Kitchen is carrying extra motivation into this year’s title fight.

That said, the Pro Circuit riders are far from clear of the competition. Davies delivered a statement ride in Hangtown’s second moto, storming to victory while setting a lap-time nearly two seconds quicker than anyone else in the field. By the checkered flag, the Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider had established a 9.3-second advantage, serving notice that he remains a major threat in the championship battle.

The same applies to Shimoda and Hymas, which makes the upcoming Colorado and High Point rounds particularly important for Kitchen and Hammaker. Those events could provide an opportunity to further establish themselves at the front of the championship and potentially build a valuable points buffer before the one-week break between rounds four and five.

Regardless, one thing is already clear – we’re seeing far more of Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki at the front of the 250MX field in 2026. Whether that’s a product of the changing competitive landscape, renewed motivation within the team, or a combination of both, the iconic outfit is once again a major force.

The question now is whether they can sustain it. That remains to be seen, but through two rounds, both Hammaker and Kitchen have been a constant presence at the front and could be on the verge of the resurgence many have been waiting years to see.

Jett Lawrence on his ankle and battling Deegan

 

 

Jett Lawrence didn’t hold back when he was asked about an exciting first moto that had Haiden Deegan pushing hard for a way around the Aussie until Deegan hit the deck.

Jett, refusing to even use Deegan’s name, said of moto one: “I mean, I learned that I didn’t have a good flow, I can tell you that for sure. But yeah, I mean, obviously, it’s hard to learn much when you have fun. On someone else, but you kind of get a feeling a little bit on where they’re going to pass, obviously. And you can kind of read what’s his name like a book. You know where he’s going to try and pass.  So it’s a little easier to kind of defend with that.

“Obviously, Hunter gets a lot more creative. He was able to get around me.I was able to kind of fire back and get a good run up to star straight. But yeah, I wouldn’t say I learned like a crazy amount like they’re not when I’m probably more battling with them behind and stuff like that.”

On his ankle over the course of the day Jett said: “Super pumped to have red plate. It’s always good to have, doesn’t mean anything at this point really. It’s more important if you have it at the last round, so not really much change. 

And to be fair, my ankle felt really, really good this weekend, to be fair. I still can’t ride normal. I mean, I just have less, a little bit less of pain. Every now and then I still like jar a bit, but it was good, honestly. Even after like walking around, it’s getting a lot better and stuff like that, which I’m happy about. I actually start to struggle with walking like I did before.

So I think it’s looking positive. I think it’s if each weekend we’re going to make some good strides in improving it, where it feels like it’s kind of going back to normal. Like even during this week when Doc G adjusted my ankle before when you pulled on it, only popped the left side of my foot and my right side was still stuck in.

It was still like pretty stiff to go side to side. And this week we were able to get both sides to pop and a lot more range of movement side to side. So that was really, really good. So yeah, hopefully this each weekend it keeps making more improvements.

 

 

That first one, I was going slow. I didn’t have a flow of the track at all. But surprisingly, because I was so disjointed and had not much to fire, I almost got more tired in that one than I did the second one.

The second one, I was pushing harder everywhere, but I didn’t get as tired as in the first one. So yeah, first one, I just couldn’t crack the flow. And obviously when with my foot, there’s some things, you know, that like reaction side of things you want both feet to be on the page, where sometimes my foot, my right foot is really light in some areas. So when it flicks, it flicks my right foot off. So it was, yeah, not ideal on defense mode that first one. I think we did pretty well.

Jett was also very complimentary of the Coenen brothers coming over and performing so well: “It’s sick to see, honestly. I mean, I think I said it maybe yesterday. Not many people get to experience the feeling that my brother and I get when we’re doing well, when we’re both in 2023, when he won the 250 Championship and I won the 450 Championship. The only people that can really relate to that now is honestly the Coenen brothers.

“Obviously, Lucas is doing really well in MXGP and obviously Sacha as well in the 250 class in MX2. So it’s cool to see. When you see two brothers doing well, it’s sick, because obviously they’re doing well because both of them are doing really good.

“And it’s always good to see brothers do well. Obviously, we had Jeremy Martin and Alex Martin before Hunter and I. Obviously, when you see them two do good, it’s always cool, but it’s like a family thing. So it was cool to see them come over. Obviously, I got to race them last year at Ironman and obviously, I’ve already seen the improvement just from then. So it’s cool to see, especially at a young age, being 19 years old.

“I remember when I was 19, riding a 450, you just keep learning, keep learning. You have that young energy. So it’s really, really cool to see. And they came over for a tough track because like I said, this dirt was really kind of weird and hard to adapt to”.

Sexton Crashes Out

Chase Sexton said his crash wasn’t caused by him after his Kawasaki appeared to lock up in mid-air and send him over the bars into a violent landing that means Sexton is away home to get his knee checked out. 

Sexton said: “Well not a great day. Knee feels cooked but will get it checked when I get home. Incident was out of my control and feeling like a passenger was very scary. I’m just very lucky to be somewhat okay and the man up above was looking over me. Thanks for the messages and everyone checking in, it means a lot.” 

 

Is this the last time we see Sexton on the Kawasaki? Speaking before the crash to Lewis Phillips, Sexton admitted his ghost ride in the Hangtown was the result of six months of frustration building up, saying he was just riding around, in very similar quotes to Jorge Prado last year. It looks like the intelligent Spaniard was 100% correct and more people should have believed him.

Sexton commented BEFORE the bike ended his weekend: “So I obviously had a rough first moto. I got hit two turns to go, went on the ground again. Webb. He got me back for San Diego. So yeah, I was frustrated, but  just, yeah, not comfortable. I was just kind of riding around, to be honest out there. I mean, I’m riding as fast as I can, but it’s not even close to my pace, and I just came back. I lost my cool, definitely wasn’t very professional with me, and it wasn’t like a good look.

It’s just been a lot of build up to get to that point. I’ve been trying to suppress it, suppress it, and it just came out. And yeah, I got caught in my chain, getting through my washer to put my bike back, and I just left the clutch out. I mean, everyone thinks I just ghost-rode it into the semi, but I really just like, it went like three feet in front of me and just fell over it. And I didn’t ghost ride it into Garrett.

Garrett was not as close to me. So, a lot of speculation on what happened. I just, honestly, I just left my clutch out, left it there, and it wasn’t. I mean, that’s obviously not the right move. I felt bad about it after I cooled down, but it’s just a lot of frustration building up, and it finally came to a peak there.”
