Jett Lawrence is back on top and has swung back the championship momentum on his side.
Jett Lawrence got a 20+ point lead and is in total control of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross 450 Championship by Feld Entertainment until he got bam bam’d by TLD Gasgas rider Justin Barcia, but not of either Jett nor Barcia’s fault but just a racing incident. And since then, the momentum has swung against […]

How in the world is Ken Roczen riding so well on a Suzuki?
Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki’s Ken Roczen took second place in Indy with (2-2-3) race scores on a soft and rutted track. Ken Roczen and Shane McElrath getting good starts made Suzuki look like they have been developing their Dirtbike models like their competitors. I wouldn’t be surprised if Suzuki sales go up because these yellow bikes are competitive against electric-start bikes. The question is, what’s really the reason behind Roczen riding this well on an inferior bike? Is the Suzuki really an inferior bike?

Unstoppable Jettson and Tom make it back to back in Alabama
Both foreigners won the Alabama Supercross this past weekend! Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence from Australia, and Red Bull KTM’s Tom Vialle from France!

“You’re only good as your last race”
Eight rounds in, nine more rounds to go. Have you ever heard of the saying in our sport, “You’re only as good as your last race?” This is a very common statement in the sport of racing dirtbikes. And this is a very wrong statement to believe for the community simply because it undermines the science of nature. There will be days when the human body is not feeling 100 percent. Not just with physical health but with mental health as well. And it is motorsports, meaning there is bike setup, and it’s a team effort to make the bike 100 percent. Not to mention the ever-deteriorating race track like Daytona and the quick decisions riders need to make to react to another rider’s mistake.
Jett Lawrence dominated Daytona Supercross
Daytona Beach, Fla. (March 3, 2024): Team Honda HRC’s Jett Lawrence took his third win of the season at Round 8 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship inside the Daytona International Speedway. The rain from the previous weeks made the dirt very soft, and the strong downpour before the qualifying made it arguably the most challenging Daytona Supercross track condition ever. Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing’s Eli Tomac settled for an impressive second-place finish, with his bike smoking pretty badly around half way until the end while battling with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Chase Sexton. Tomac’s winning streak of five straight wins at Daytona ended that day.
