  • Hymas notches career-first 1-1 tally in 250 class
  • Jett Lawrence extends his 450-class win streak and points lead
  • Top-five overall results for Hunter Lawrence and Jo Shimoda

Honda HRC Progressive enjoyed a successful outing during round 3 of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship at Colorado’s Thunder Valley Motocross Park, where team riders Jett Lawrence and Chance Hymas swept their respective classes. Lawrence continued his dominance in the 450 division with a third-straight overall win, while Hymas put together a milestone performance in the 250 category, securing his career-first 1-1 tally. Teammates Hunter Lawrence and Jo Shimoda also rode well, each finishing fifth overall in his class.

The first 450 moto saw the Lawrence brothers get off to their usual excellent starts aboard their CRF450RWE race machines, with Hunter leading Jett across the holeshot line. Jett took over the top spot on lap 1 and notched a wire-to-wire victory, albeit under heavy pressure from his brother and others. Hunter had his best ride of the season so far, battling for the lead and holding off a hard-charging Eli Tomac. A tip-over on the final lap allowed Eli Tomac to sneak by, and Hunter ultimately finished fourth.

Hunter and Jett started moto 2 in third and sixth, and Jett had moved up a position by the end of the first lap. He methodically moved forward until taking the top spot before the midway point. Once there, he opened a comfortable gap and secured the win—maintaining his perfect tally of overall victories this season. Meanwhile, Hunter led briefly on lap 2 and held second place for several laps before dropping to fourth on lap 6 and maintaining it to the finish. Among the other Red Riders, Joey Savatgy (Quad Lock Honda Racing) was 10th overall, with John Short (IQ Racing Team) 21st, Brandon Ray (Raylentless Racing) 30th, Hunter Schlosser (Western Honda) 31st, Brad Todd (Ace Motorcycles) 32nd and Dean Gall (GFR) 38th.

Hymas was absolutely dominant in the 250 class, grabbing the holeshots in both motos and leading every lap aboard his CRF250RWE. In the first outing, the Idaho native quickly opened a gap, withstanding pressure from Haiden Deegan for most of the race and eventually winning by over 45 seconds after Deegan had an issue. Moto 2 was almost a carbon copy of the first, although this time he was “only” able to win by 11.184 seconds. Shimoda faced adversity early on, starting the first race outside the top 20, then having a tip-over early on.

He charged forward to finish ninth. The Japanese native started moto 2 in 10th place and blitzed his way into fourth by the end of the first lap, then moved into the top three on lap 6. Although he was overtaken on the final lap, he secured fourth in the race and fifth for the day. As for the other Red Riders, SPR’s Lance Kobusch finished 20th overall, with Phoenix Racing Honda’s Gavin Towers and SLR Honda’s Jace Allred in 23rd and 29th, respectively.
