This start of the AMA Supercross 450 could have hardly gone better for Jett Lawrence, with the Honda rider to win in Angel Stadium the main event of the competition.
After winning last year’s 450 AMA Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross, the rider continued on the winning ways, now at Anaheim. Speaking about his day, the rider said: ‘Obviously after the first few corners went away a bit cause it’s kind of…obviously those first few turns are pretty hectic, but once I was able to see kind of clear track and know that uh Jason [Anderson] wasn’t too close to make a pass. It was kind of all right, let’s get a gap’.
And continued: ‘I think we got to like three seconds, so, all right, let’s see, try and hold it here and just not make any silly mistakes and just kind of conserve energy just in case at the end. So, these guys are pretty fit, so they keep going the whole moto. So, it’s kind of just not waiting, but like just, yeah, storing energy for their last, last few laps, but I was able to have it be enough to get that gap that I could just kind of cruise it in, thankfully’.
The next round of the championship this next weekend at Oracle Park, in San Francisco.
