NEW BERLIN, New York: Hunter Lawrence took the lead on Lap 1 and rode uncontested to the checkers and add three points on Jett Lawrence in the 2026 Pro Motocross championship. Hunter expanded his advantage to 15 points with five motos remaining.
Jett was pinched on the start and got a modest start in fourth. He made short work of Eli Tomac on the opening lap and set his sights on Haiden Deegan in second. On Lap 3, Deegan slammed the door on Jett, who attempted to take the inside groove away from the rookie. Jett fell to sixth, passed two riders quickly, and then renewed his battle with Deegan.
Jett took third away from Deegan on Lap 7. Until today, Jett Lawrence had never lost a moto at Unadilla.
Jorge Prado settled into second after passing Deegan on Lap 5, but he lost a ton of time in lapped traffic. Jett took the position from Prado with two laps remaining and salvaged two points.
Deegan earned his second holeshot of the season and led the opening lap. He nearly crashed at the beginning of the second lap, which allowed Hunter to take advantage.
Garrett Marchbanks rounded out the top five with a pass on RJ Hampshire, who crashed in the middle stage of the race.
Tomac got a strong start and rode in third briefly. He lost the tow in the middle stage of the race and fell outside of the top 10, but given his disappointing performance in the last two rounds, his finish of #th was an improvement.
