Today, Honda HRC officially announced that Hunter Lawrence has received medical clearance to participate in round 6 of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship, scheduled to take place at Southwick on Saturday.
Despite a challenging incident during the start of the second 250 moto at RedBud last Saturday, where Hunter took a hard fall and remained down for some time before receiving medical attention and being transported to the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit, he is now deemed fit to compete. Although he was unable to resume the race, a thorough examination revealed no significant injuries that would prevent him from participating in future events. Hunter is eagerly looking forward to regaining his position as the leader in the 250 points standings in the upcoming round.
“It was a bit of a hero-to-zero day here at RedBud,” said Hunter. “We executed perfect for our first-moto holeshot and rode good laps, well within my limits. The second moto was a bit of chaos after the start. I’m not entirely sure where it went wrong—I didn’t holeshot, so I guess that’s where it started. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is—part of the sport. I’m thankful it’s nothing major; we’ll buff her out, and should be good to go.
