Jett Lawrence – "I hate losing"

He was serious all day, the normally carefree Jett Lawrence had a job to do, but once he delivered another win under pressure, Lawrence explained just how much he hated losing after a classy ride in Nashville to run down Eli Tomac for the win.

Don’t mis-read Jett Lawrence when he’s joking around. Underneath that playful nature is a Carmichael level killer. He fired in Nashville.

Jett said: ““I hate losing, so that bit of a losing streak really sucked. But [I’m] really pumped to come out and get it done here, especially with the Slash and Gibson [designed] gear. Those people are awesome to us, so I have to say a big shout out to them; I reckon it helped a lot.

“I felt good out there [and] hit my marks. A big [bummer] for Kenny, I didn’t get to fully see [Roczen’s crash] because of all the smoke, but it looked like it was pretty bad, so I hope he’s okay or has a speedy recovery from that. But… this [win] is leading in the good direction, so hopefully we keep it going.”

Jett added in the press conference: “The bike’s been handling great and I’ve been feeling good the last few weekends, it’s just I haven’t been putting it together and haven’t been putting myself in good positions.”

Even rival Webb admitted Jett was just too good: “I think for me, honestly, I saw today from practice, I think Jett had a point to prove and he did that. You know, to me he was to me the best all day.” 

Point proven.
