This start of the AMA Supercross 450 could hardly have gone better for Jett Lawrence, with the Honda rider winning the main race at Angel Stadium.
After winning last year’s AMA Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross 450, the rider continued his winning streak, now in Anaheim. Speaking about his day, the rider said: ‘Obviously, after the first corners, it was a bit difficult, because it’s a bit… obviously the first corners are very chaotic, but as soon as I could see the track clear and know that Jason [Anderson] wasn’t too close to make a pass. It was more or less like, let’s gain some distance’.
And he continued: ‘I think we got to about three seconds, so, okay, let’s see, try to hold on and not make any stupid mistakes and conserve energy just in case it goes to the end. These guys are in good shape, so they keep pushing. So, it’s not just waiting, but also storing energy for the final laps, but I managed to make the difference enough to be able to enter the race, fortunately’.
The next round of the championship is already next weekend at Oracle Park in San Francisco.
