Hunter Lawrence Out for Supercross Season with Torn Labrum, Surgery Required
It has been a bad two weeks for injured riders in the 450SX class. This time, it's from the Honda HRC Progressive camp regarding Hunter Lawrence. Lawrence had a bad crash during Heat 1 for Round 5 on Saturday night in Tampa, partially tearing his labrum along with multiple cracks in his humerus bone. The incident occurred when Lawrence went slightly off the track landing off a triple, clipping a tough block, and falling right side first into the face of the finish line jump. Lawrence will have surgery on February 13th in Orange County, California. The expected recovery time is eight to ten weeks. The surgery will sideline him for the remainder of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Both Australian native Lawrence brothers are now injured, with the reigning 450SX champion, Jett, tearing his ACL one round previous at the Glendale Triple Crown during Race 3. That required surgery, meaning he is also out for the remainder of the Supercross season. The following press release is from Honda HRC: Australian suffered torn labrum in right shoulder at Tampa Supercross Initial recovery prognosis is 8-10 weeks TORRANCE, Calif. (February 12, 2025) – Following an injury sustained during Saturday's Tampa, Florida, round of AMA Supercross, Honda HRC Progressive 450SX rider Hunter Lawrence has been diagnosed with a raised and partially torn labrum in his right shoulder, along with multiple cracks in his humerus bone. He will undergo surgery on the labrum tomorrow, February 13, in Orange County, California, and because his expected recovery time is eight to 10 weeks, he is likely to miss the remainder of the Supercross season. Lawrence's injury occurred during his heat race, when he suffered a hard crash that prevented him from lining up for the main event. Evaluation this week confirmed the labrum issue, and while the normal healing time is typically about the same, surgery was deemed the best course of action for ensuring a full and stable recovery. With Hunter sidelined, and brother Jett still out recovering from recent knee surgery, Honda HRC Progressive will continue its 2025 AMA Supercross campaign with a 250SX-based effort, with Chance Hymas continuing in the 250SX East division this weekend in Detroit, and Jo Shimoda resuming 250SX West action on February 22 in Arlington, Texas. 'I'm going to get this fixed and come back 100%, to go and battle for the outdoor and SMX title again,' Hunter said. 'Thank you to all my amazing partners, who continually are the reason all this is possible. We will get this 2025 turned around soon enough. See you at select upcoming races.' 'We're all very sorry for Hunter, especially considering the effort he and the team have put into this season,' said Brandon Wilson, Manager of Racing and Advertising at American Honda. 'Following some early challenges, Hunter was showing solid speed and even better promise; once he's back to full strength, we know he'll be out there again, fighting hard near the front. Racing can be cruel, and there's no denying that 2025 has been particularly tough on our team so far, with all our riders affected by injury in some way. That said, we've had a couple of years of unprecedented success, and we'll work hard together to get back on that trend soon.'

Jett Lawrence and Haiden Deegan Capture First Wins of 2025, Anaheim 2 Supercross Results
The excitement keeps rising in Monster Energy AMA Supercross and the SuperMotocross World Championship with round 3 for Anaheim 2 in Anaheim, California, the final stop of the Supercross series in the Golden State, where two new winners in 2025 came to light. The battle at the front of the field for this win was close and intense between the top 3 riders on the night in 450SX. Honda HRC Progressive's Jett Lawrence, in the 450SX class, grabbed his ninth career premier class Supercross victory by being patient on a wet, slippery, and unique track to take the lead away three-quarters into the main event and ride to victory. Consistency has been key for the Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki's Ken Roczen, with 2-4 finishes in the first two rounds to take control of the championship red plate heading into Arizona next weekend after finishing another 2nd on the night. Jason Anderson, aboard the Monster Energy Kawasaki, grabbed the holeshot early and held the lead for 14 laps before getting passed by Jett through the whoops and eventually Roczen late to finish 3rd on the night. Here are the 450SX Main Event results and the championship points: The 250SX West main event witnessed an all-teenager podium since 2011. 19-year-old Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing's Haiden Deegan grabbed his first holeshot of the season and took off from the rest of the field to his first win in the 250SX West Regional Championship in 2025, 4th career 250SX win, with the race seeing rain halfway through. He sits back seven points in the standings from points leader KTM Factory Racing's 18-year-old sophomore Julien Beaumer, who finished 2nd on the night and is three for three on podium finishes to start this championship to hold the red plate for another weekend. The final step on the box was 17-year-old rookie Cole Davies, Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing, claiming his career-first podium in Supercross and trending upward. Here are the 250SX West Main Event results and the championship points:
