2023 SuperMotocross Power Rankings after Thunder Valley: Lawrence brothers dominance continues, Webb moves up

Jett Lawrence had another perfect weekend at Thunder Valley in Lakewood, Colorado as Cooper Webb surged five positions in the NBC SuperMotocross Power Rankings when his Nashville Supercross heat crash aged out of the formula. The Power Rankings looks back at the past 45 days, which still includes the last two Monster Energy Supercross races.

In that span, four riders have perfect top-five records in Main Events and overall finishes although, due to injury and the graduation of Lawrence to the 450 class, none of them have perfect attendance in these five races. The performance of these riders has created a tight band at the top of the chart and is one of the reasons we also track heat and moto wins.

Lawrence has easily been the hottest rider in the 450 class through his first three races, winning every moto with comfortable margins over the second-place rider each time. It will take some time before he gets dethroned, if in fact anyone can beat him at all in the coming weeks. Every now and then, a rider has a season like this, although it is still hard to imagine a rookie sweeping the entire season.

Chase Sexton missed the last two round of the Pro Motocross season, but is listed on this week’s entry list and is expected to race for the first time since suffering a concussion in testing between Fox Raceway and Hangtown. He won the last two Supercross races (Denver and Salt Lake City) and finished second in the Motocross opener.
