Jett Lawrence wins Thunder Valley Pro Motocross to remain undefeated in 2023

Jett Lawrence swept another weekend with holeshots in both motos at Thunder Valley in Lakewood, Colorado during Round 3 of the Pro Motocross season and Round 20 of  the inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship. Neither race was in question as Lawrence managed his gap to second place one more week and led every lap.

Lawrence has now won all six motos since graduating to the 450 class and his undefeated status is allowing him to build a substantial lead in MX points.

“It’s an awesome day here. I got an even better start in that second moto and I couldn’t quite push as hard and go as fast as I did in the first moto. The track was a little greasy, especially when the rain started to come. I was back to maintaining again, but it was a fun day. I’m pumped. The Lawrence boys won again.”

Hunter Lawrence kept his streak of overall wins alive in the 250 class.

Jett now has a 34-point advantage over Dylan Ferrandis for the Pro Motocross lead with Cooper Webb four points further back in third. Lawrence climbed to 14th in SuperMotocross points and at his current pace will challenge to be in top 10 as early as next week.

Aaron Plessinger finished second overall to score his fourth consecutive top-five finish. Plessinger’s second-place finish did not come easy, however; he crashed with Dylan Ferrandis while battling for fifth in the first race. Plessinger dropped to 25th after that incident; Ferrandis fell to 33rd and both riders were forced to come through the field.

Plessinger climbed to 10th by the halfway point and with four minutes remaining, he was victorious in an intense four-rider battle for the top five. Plessinger made up one more position before finishing second in Moto 2. It was Plessinger’s first podium of the
