Chase Sexton is in great form and has once again achieved a double victory in AMA Pro Motocross, this time at Spring Creek. In both races, he had to come from behind, but once he took the lead, no one could beat him.
In the first race, Hunter Lawrence took the holeshot, with Aaron Plessinger and Chase Sexton as his closest competitors. It didn’t take long for Plessinger and Lawrence to start battling for the lead, and Sexton joined them later: he first passed Plessinger, and gradually closed in on Lawrence, who responded later and regained some of the gap to #4.
With nine minutes to go, Sexton managed to make the pass stick, and despite Lawrence’s initial response, the KTM rider was able to pull away at the front, finishing in first place with over 10 seconds of advantage over Lawrence in second, and Plessinger in third.
In the second race, the scenario was different at the start. Justin Cooper took the holeshot, Lawrence was second, and Jason Anderson was third, with Sexton this time in sixth.
Lawrence started to put pressure on the leader, while Sexton was gradually recovering and consistently lapping 1 to 2 seconds faster than those ahead of him. It was no surprise that, around halfway through the race, the main changes started to occur: Lawrence took the lead and Sexton also stepped up his pace and overtook Cooper.
Com o cronómetro a marcar dez minutos para o final Sexton chegou finalmente à liderança e começou desde logo a ganhar tempo e a partir daí não mais cedeu terreno. Acabaria por confirmar a dobradinha, com Lawrence novamente em segundo e Cooper em terceiro.
Sexton lidera o campeonato com 310 pontos, mais 13 do que Hunter Lawrence, enquanto Justin Cooper é terceiro com 249.
