The AMA Pro Motocross Championship returned to Budds Creek Motocross Park this weekend, where rain threatened but gave way to warmer conditions and great on-track action. On a hot streak of his own, Team Honda HRC’s #kenroczen qualified fastest and went on to take his CRF450R to victory in 450MX #moto 1. Roczen followed his morning results up with a strong second-place finish in #moto 2, earning the German a second-place overall result.
Following an equally strong ride in morning qualifying, #chasesexton found himself right behind his teammate in both motos and fighting for the lead. The Illinois native powered to the podium in 450MX #moto 1 and ended the day with a solid fourth overall via 3-4 #moto results. Meanwhile, Jett and #hunterlawrence finished second and fourth overall in the 250MX class, respectively. Jett’s second-place finish was the result of a strong qualifying performance and double podiums (2-2), while Hunter’s fourth marked the end to a more challenging day, the Australian rebounding from a tough first #moto to finish third in 250MX #moto two for 6-3 results.
After the gate dropped in the first 450MX #moto, Roczen made a string of well-executed passes to charge from third into the lead. Teammate Sexton joined the group by way of hard passes that enabled him to jump from fourth to second behind teammate Roczen. Both riders showed great speed throughout the #moto, with Sexton inching closer to the front until ultimately being passed by Dylan Ferrandis. Roczen went on to take the first 450MX win of the day, with Sexton finishing in third. The German rider carried his speed into the second #moto, #racing to the holeshot with Sexton close by in fourth. Sexton once again made a pair of strong passes in an effort to work his way to the front, though unfortunate mishaps relegated him to fourth, where he remained until the finish for fourth overall (3-4 #moto tallies). Following an exciting battle between himself, Eli Tomac and Dylan Ferrandis, Roczen was passed by Ferrandis with less than seven minutes to go, the Team Honda HRC rider finishing a close second.
In the 250MX class, #jettlawrence patiently made his way to third place before getting into a heated battle with Austin Forkner for second. Lawrence took the position, leaving him and Justin Cooper out front. Though having made a charge for the lead, Lawrence would ultimately have to settle for second, a result he would repeat in #moto 2. #hunterlawrence suffered a poor start and a series of other challenges in #moto 1, which forced him to settle for sixth. Hunter bounced back in the second #moto and rode to a solid third place finish for fourth overall.
