first two races.
Race three put the three con-
tenders head-to-head-to-head,
but more drama ensued as Jett
put Hunter on the ground in a
pass for second place. He then
overtook the lead when Roczen
hit the dirt in another solo crash.

Supercross
T
he 40th annual Paris Su-
percross took place inside
the Paris La Défense Arena,
Europe's largest indoor arena,
November 17-18.
Night one saw Jett Lawrence
make his first appearance at the
Paris Supercross, as he swept
all three of the SX1 main events.
There was no brotherly love,
as he battled with his brother,
Hunter, who also made his 450
debut with the Honda HRC
team. Hunter led laps but was
overtaken by Jett each time. The
number 18 (Jett) even waited
until the last turn of the last lap
to squeeze a friendly block pass
on his big older brother.
Jett then traded the lead posi-
tion with the defending King of
Paris, Ken Roczen, in race three.
The two swapped the top spot
after both hitting the ground,
each in their own individual
crashes. Eventually, Lawrence
worked his way back to the front
and took the overall win with 1-1-
1 results.
Hunter Lawrence claimed
second overall with a 2-2-6,
while Roczen rounded out the
podium with 3-6-2 scores.
Cooper Webb technically tied
for third on overall points (5-3-3)
but the tie-breaker went to the
German, Roczen.
Jett Lawrence won again on
night two, but not in the same
dominant fashion. Two aver-
age starts forced him to charge
through the field, finishing sec-
