Kickstart In It to Win It

Ken Roczen isn’t changing his mindset with a title on the line!

After perfect execution in moto three of the triple crown that saw Ken Roczen win the overall and come within 1 point of Hunter Lawrence’s championship lead, the German is vowinb bot to change his mentality with three races to go in the series and the championship right there for the taking.

Ken said: “It’s’s the same thing, like, you know, you got 4 races to go, and you’re 10 points down, and people think it’s a lot, I don’t think it’s a lot, and this is just how quick it can happen, and that’s why I’m staying in my lane, and that’s why I don’t detour on my mentality, and I’m going to do the same thing here on out. It’s about winning, and if that is not reachable, you make the decision how to make the biggest damage control – you guys might try to get me to change my mentality, but I’m not! (laughs).”

Roczen was asked what he was thinking when he lapped Hunter in the third moto and Ken admitted he couldn’t believe it: “I almost couldn’t believe that he was there, and I was laughing at him. I mean, it can happen to any of us. We can have these triple crown bad rates, especially in the mud.But, honestly, I just had no idea. I was just racing the win and getting the overall, and I had no idea about the points either, which is a good thing, and just really rode my own boot, you know? 

“Just, it’s an incredible feeling, reaching the finish line again, just because before these three motos, especially with the rain, there’s a lot of, not nervousness, but you just never know how it’s going to go, you know? And especially, and I don’t want to mention it, but I’m not having any start. A lot of things can go wrong, you know? So, we executed the start, and then once I had a clear track, because on the parade ride, I really made sure that I knew what rhythms I was going to do, and I just hammered down in the beginning and was able to get a gap.Yeah, it’s, that’s the way to win a race, you know? But, it’s so important not to lose focus, just as the track got more and more tricky, because the longer rhythm lane, you know, you’re taking off in ruts, you’re landing in ruts, and the whoops were pretty technical too, and yeah, it was great.”

Roczen is in the zone right now and this is his best chance of winning the biggest title of his career but Hunter Lawrence is known for his mental strength with both riders knowing how to win championships, this will be a test of execution under pressure for two riders who have overcome a lot in their career to be in the position they are in.

It will be a great story whoever wins.

Hunter...Tough Championship To Capture

After three decades away from Cleveland, AMA Supercross made a long-awaited return to the shores of Lake Erie, which hosted the final Triple Crown event of 2026. Although Honda HRC Progressive rider Hunter Lawrence kicked off the round with a holeshot and race 1 win, the day unraveled as rain showers came in. Despite the adversity and uncharacteristic poor starts in the final two races, the Australian managed to secure a sixth-overall result, keeping the 450SX championship lead by one point.

“For this Triple Crown, we had a lot of weather coming in. The day started out really good, as I was P1 in qualifying. In the first race, I had a good start and checked out. In races 2 and 3, I just didn’t get the best starts, just couldn’t get the traction I needed, and made it tough on myself. When you don’t get a good start, you get put in not the best situations, and the last race kind of all came undone. I had a crash in the rutted whoop section, and then another rider hit my front wheel. We salvaged only losing nine points, which feels better than what I thought it was going to be, for how bad the last one was. On to Philadelphia now.”

The first of three premier-class races saw Lawrence get a signature holeshot aboard his CRF450RWE and lead from start to finish, with no challenges to speak of. As track conditions deteriorated with increasing rainfall, the remaining races proved more challenging. Despite a difficult race 2 start, Lawrence demonstrated strong race craft, advancing from ninth to fifth in the opening laps. Although the frontrunners had already established a gap, he maintained consistency to finish fifth and stay in contention for the overall podium.

In the last race of the evening, the number 96 got pinched off at the start and found himself mid-pack. As he started to make his way forward, an early-race incident in the whoops saw him drop to 14th. After remounting, Lawrence noticed his fuel-tank vent hose had been dislodged in the fall, but he remained composed and pushed forward, climbing back to 11th. His progress was halted by a second incident (this one with another rider), and he ultimately crossed the line in 14th, securing sixth on the night.

Despite setbacks in races 2 and 3, Lawrence maintains the championship lead over Ken Roczen, by one point. Cooper Webb is another 21 points back, while Eli Tomac exited the main program following a qualifying crash and slipped to fourth in the standings.

Lars Lindstrom: “A very up-and-down day for us, with qualifying and the first race going absolutely perfectly. We had been watching the weather all week, knowing that rain seemed imminent; the radar during the afternoon showed that we could possibly miss it completely, but the tail end of the rain cell was heavier than expected. Although the rain and conditions could’ve been much worse, the track was still very slippery and tricky. We didn’t execute the starts that we needed in the final two races, and that put us in positions that are tough to make it back from, and also where you have to push harder than you want to in order to catch up. We’ll make sure that we do our due diligence to improve our starts in wet weather, especially since it’s possible that the last three rounds could be mud races.”

WOW ! We have a new series.

Cleveland SX

1. Roczen

2. Webb

3. Cooper

Hunter Lawrence could not have been much worse. He now has a 1 point lead over Roczen and wide open run for the title. The City of Brotherly Love is next, should be entertaining.

What Does Hunter Do???

 

The title is there for him. He just needs to stay upright and close to Kenny to take the title. So does he ride ultra conservative (Boring) or does he go for the Gold. Most fans want to see a show and I would not be surprised to see both Chase and Cooper win a race. However, I think Hunter will be on the box at every round to the finish. He's earned it now he just has to keep it. What do you think?

Eli Tomac Takes Big Hit in Qualifying Crash in Whoops at Cleveland Supercross OUT For Remainder of Day

Late in the first 450SX Group A first qualifying session, Eli Tomac had a crash in the whoops that brought the session to a halt with a red flag.

Tomac put down a 46.121, which sat second in the session to Cooper Webb's 46.017 when the Colorado native crashed hard in the whoops. He got sideways and looked to hit the top of a whoop with his right shoulder. Tomac was slow to get up and just sat as he was talking to the Alpinestars medical crew as the session was brought to a halt. The Colorado native was helped to his feet. He walked over and got onto the back of the medical cart, sitting up as his mechanic Jade Dungey rode his bike off through the tunnel.

The session resumed but it was Webb’s time that stood as the top time. Tomac’s time was still second. Roczen, Hunter Lawrence, and Malcolm Stewart rounded out the top five.

Cleveland Supercross triple-crown – mudder?!

Hunter Lawrence has a ten point lead over Ken Roczen and fifteen points over Eli Tomac in what is a already a stressful title fight in the home stretch but, to make things even more interesting is rain and thunderstorms are predicted for Saturday in Cleveland!

With three main events in each class in the afternoon, it could be a wild day for everyone involved from mechanics to riders and could turn the championship on it’s head.

Steve Matthes has tweeted that provisions are already being made for the weather and there may only be two main events:
