Jett Lawrence continues his winning performance in AMA Supercross 450 and did add another victory in the championship this weekend at the Birmingham SX. The rider highlighted his own growth in a day with tricky conditions due to rain the days before the event.
The Team HRC rider reviewed his weekend as follow: ‘I would say this was almost harder than last weekend at Daytona. Here, the rhythm sections were so tricky, and I was trying my best not to make any mistakes and knowing when to back out, where ‘old Jett’ would’ve tried to keep going for it and maybe lost more time. The track sort of had a limit, where if you pushed too much it could bite you’.
In the main event Lawrence showed a very good posture, which he himself noted, as it is a sign on development: ‘It was good to learn, and I felt like my focus was very good through the whole race. Cooper [Webb] was right there and didn’t give up the whole time, which helped me to stay focused’.
