Lawrence trionfa nella difficile notte del Team HRC
Il round di Detroit ha visto Jett Lawrence dominare la categoria 250 SX East Region, che ha guidato la sua CRF250R alla terza vittoria in quattro eventi. Nella classe regina, quando il cancello è caduto per il main event, la pista era estremamente compromessa dalle heat precedenti e, nel corso dei 27 giri successivi, molti top rider sono stati costretti al ritiro a causa di pesanti cadute. Chase Sexton non ha terminato la gara a causa di una collisione aerea innescata da un difficile doppiaggio. Ecco le parole dei protagonisti del Team HRC:
Ecco le parole dei protagonisti:
Chase Sexton: “Overall, the Detroit Supercross was a pretty rough race for me. I had a crash in the heat race trying to go around a lapped rider, and in the main event, Cooper and I got together, which ended my night. It was unfortunate, but thankfully I’m healthy apart from a few scrapes and bruises. I’m looking forward to Indianapolis, which I consider one of my home races, and I’m excited to get back out there and make up for it.”

Jett Lawrence: “That one was really tricky. The track’s pretty tight and basic, but it got chewed up pretty gnarly, especially in those rhythms; it would catch you off guard now and then. It was a lot more difficult than our last couple weekends. I felt like the times were really, really close, so the boys definitely kept me on my toes. Pierce Brown surprised me; normally every guy revs it in the air, but he was silent – scared the living daylights out of me on the inside [laughs]. The biggest thing was just making sure I clicked my lap times off and focused on myself, because you never know when I make a silly mistake and one of these boys capitalizes on that. I had fun in that one. I’m very grateful, and hopefully I can keep marching on.”
Lars Lindstrom, Team Manager: “Tonight was another bittersweet one for us as a team. The track was deceivingly difficult and sketchy by the end of the main event. Because of the short lap times, it broke down even more than normal, and the lapped riders were an issue in every race. Jett was amazing again and rode super smart. He pushed when he needed to and was conservative on parts of the track that could bite. Chase was also incredibly fast all day and was going to be a threat to win. Once he got a rhythm going he was moving forward and riding well until his unfortunate incident with Cooper. Hopefully Cooper is okay, and luckily Chase was able to come away with minimal injuries and should be able to race next weekend no problem.”
