450cc race results: AMA Pro Motocross RD2 – Hangtown – Lawrence domination

Jett Lawrence delivered a commanding performance at the second round of the AMA Pro Motocross 450cc class at Hangtown, securing victories in both motos and asserting his dominance early in the season. In the opening race, Lawrence took the holeshot and quickly established a significant lead, while his brother Hunter Lawrence battled for second place with Haiden Deegan. Despite Deegan’s efforts to maintain position, Hunter eventually pulled clear, showcasing the strength of the Lawrence brothers. Jorge Prado, who had been closing in on Deegan, suffered a mechanical failure late in the race, resulting in a DNF that dealt a serious blow to his championship ambitions. The second moto saw the Lawrence brothers once again leading the field, with Jett coming under pressure from Hunter before pulling away decisively midway through the race. Haiden Deegan recovered from a poor start to claim his first podium finish of the season, demonstrating resilience and skill. Chase Sexton and his Kawasaki teammate Marchbanks rounded out the top five, while Prado struggled after a poor gate pick and was unable to recover fully, finishing outside the top ten. Mikkel Haarup and Guillod also put in solid rides, finishing ahead of Prado in the second race. The results at Hangtown have significant implications for the championship standings, with Jett Lawrence firmly establishing himself as the rider to beat. Jorge Prado’s mechanical issues and subsequent poor gate pick in the second moto have put him on the back foot, highlighting the fine margins that can influence the title race. Meanwhile, Haiden Deegan’s podium finish signals his potential to challenge the front runners as the season progresses. The Lawrence brothers’ strong showing underscores their dominance and sets the stage for an intense battle in the coming rounds.
