A pair of the sport’s preeminent stars lived up to their billing on Saturday at the 20th rendition of the Pro Motocross Championship’s Thunder Valley National.
Hunter Lawrence, leads his brother, Jett Lawrence Moto #2, 450 class of the AMA Pro Motocross Thunder Valley National at Thunder Valley Park in Morrison, Colorado Saturday, June 08, 2024. Jett Lawrence went of to win Moto #2 and won the Thunder Valley National overall. LAKEWOOD —
For Jett Lawrence, the defending 450 class series champion who won all 22 races in 2023, the victory at Thunder Valley was a bounce-back showing after crashing last week at Hangtown. That crash snapped his 24-race win streak and forced Jett to ride injured on Saturday as he was still dealing with a cut on his leg and a sore shoulder.
Justin Cooper earned the holeshot in both 450 motos and led for much of those races before fading, finishing third in both and third overall. Stralo placed 18th, but for the U.S. Army veteran, his motivation for being at the track was about more than results. Stralo says “throttle therapy” helped him re-adjust to civilian life, and that his ultimate goal is to help prevent veteran suicides. Saturday marked his sixth time competing as a pro at the Thunder Valley National.
