St. Louis, MO St. LouisMonster Energy AMA Supercross Championship
There was a huge shock in the 2nd race of the 450SX Triple Crown in St. Louis, which appeared to have actually been won by Jett Lawrence. Rather, Lawrence was among numerous who leapt the goal dive while it was revealing both a red cross flag and the checkered flag, and he and 4 others have actually handled charges from the AMA.
5 riders, in overall, were punished: Jett Lawrence (2 positions), Cooper Webb (2 positions), Chase Sexton (2 positions), Aaron Plessinger (2 positions), and Jason Anderson (4 positions). Lawrence, Webb, Plessinger, and Sexton leapt when the white flag was out, Anderson leapt the dive with both the white flag and the checkers, so he handled a double charge (4 positions).
This has significant ramifications on the Triple Crown in general, since rather of Lawrence entering into the last race connected with Eli Tomac (2-1 and 1-2 outcomes), Lawrence now rests on a 2-3 and will require assistance to attempt to battle the total win far from Tomac.
The night got even worse for Lawrence in race 3 when he was definitely knocked in a corner by Justin Barcia on the very first lap. Lawrence lowered a bit in a berm while fighting his sibling Hunter, and Barcia was turning up the within in an incredibly aggressive angle at a high rate of speed. It’s difficult to state what line Barcia was planning to go to, as the majority of riders were utilizing the berm because corner however Barcia was crossing the within, perhaps to keep the door near to the riders behind him (Vince Friese at this minute). In any case, this left him with an almost head on accident with Jett Lawrence. Barcia secured the brakes to attempt to prevent it, however it was far too late and Lawrence got knocked. In the beginning, the series’ leader was down holding his left hand or arm, however he did ultimately return on the bike to travel around at the back of the pack and attempt to gather points. He completed the race in 21st location, and unofficially would wind up 8th total after 2-3-21 surfaces in the 3 races. The difficulty in race 3 negated the majority of the damage from the charge in race 2, although he may have ended up seventh in general without the charge, which deserves one extra champion point. After the race, Barcia and Jett Lawrence both stopped to talk before leaving the track, as Barcia appeared to ask forgiveness. Jett provided Barcia a favorable thumbs up and a pat on the back as if to acknowledge it was just a racing occurrence.
