For sure, you can be happy for your brother - and we all know he is, they're both great lads - and still have that fire inside to want to be number 1.

It's just great to see them both laying it all out and fighting for wins regardless of who they're chasing, whether it's against each other or anyone else.

Also, I know Kenny didn't have as good a weekend as last week, but it was impressive to see him continuing to fight til the end as well, happy to see this turn around in his attitude.
Agree 100% on Roczen. It wasn't a great day but him fighting back to get Dungey was something we wouldn't have seen in recent years. Nice to see him dig deep

I’m pretty sure each Lawrence brother has these priorities:

1. I want to win
2. I hope my brother does well

In that order

Any rider that is happy about getting passed for the lead and finishing second is not championship material. The Jett and Hunter show is rolling. Great clean racing, what a show!

Making that move to the 450s is a tough jump and a lot can and will happen between now and then.

there are many, me included that thought ap7 would be where sexton is now after he was so dominant in 250 mx.

tomac was going to make it look easy until blowing both shoulders out.

Look how long webb struggled after kicking everybody's asses on the 250s.

in the 45+ years i have followed the sport there have been so many "next big things" that fizzled, and just as many that completely shocked everybody (df14 winning 450 mx last year, and certainly not living up to expectations in 450 sx and mx this year are examples of both).

What I would think would change is hunter separating a bit on testing and practicing. It would be hard to ride everyday with your rival and share any edge you come up with in setup and/or technique resulting in having it used against you.

I am curious how much info of this nature kr94 and cs23 share.

I know what you mean regarding setup, but the 450 guys can probably skirt that issue as Kenny and Chase seem quite different in how they like the bike, although on the face of it they both look like technically-excellent riders with outstanding smoothness and control (until Chase pushes the front or lawndarts, no offence, love the guy and hope to see the consistency come).

You'd presume what works for one won't work for the other anyone, luckily, or I could see people getting a little tight lipped or frustrated if they couldn't be. An example is like ML's bike check video said about their difference in suspension setup (and even type, now Chase is on the BFRC shock).

Hunter and Jett, maybe understandably, seem more similar so perhaps it will come to that.

I agree with this, I would also imagine that the desire to beat your brother would be up there too. Even if they were not racing at the top level of the sport, I would imagine that sibling rivalry would be a natural and strong motivator for anyone that is competing against their sibling / siblings be it in a sport, or grades or whatever.

Putting “I want to win” at #1 implies beating your brother. These guys generally aren’t satisfied with NOT winning, especially when they’re both riding as well as they were yesterday

There it is!

Let's all remember that NO ONE likes losing. Especially after a battle like that. They BOTH where hanging it Waaaaaay Waaaaaay Out There!

During the podium coverage, just as they got off the track, it sounded Jett was giving Hunter props for his down-hill Banzai Speed pass. Still, Hunter wasn't looking too happy as he nodded. But, to be fair, I didn't see Hunter being too out of sorts. He just wasn't stoked about NOT winning. I like that.

As 2 brothers that've been doing this for a while...let's not forget their European chapter...they BOTH...Hunter AND Jett need to be able to give it all they've got AND move on to the real job...the next race.

Honda has to be Uber-Stoked: They're 1-2 and racing THEMSELVES for the 250 title...at this point.

Myself, when Honda originally hired them both, I didn't know the full European/GP Racing Family Story: I had NO IDEA of Hunter's REAL accomplishments. Now, after some pod-casts and looking up a few race-records...I do. The dude is AMAZING and will show us more as time goes on.

If you think bout it, Hunter's speed has picked up quite a bit this year. I don't know that he's found all of his speed, yet. I'm kinda stoked about that.

One thing I know 100%, is that Hunter needs to practice getting out of the gate better.
Not give up 1/2 a bike length as the race has just started.

I doubted Hunter's signing also when it happened. I'm smart enough to see the obvious when it came to Jett but I thought it was just a family package deal to get Jett. I'm happy to admit I had no clue what I was talking about and that Hunter is a beast!

Holeshots just seem to come naturally to some guys and everybody else is hit and miss. I think either you have that gift or you don't.

The sleeping lion is waking up. Anyone noticing how Hunter is starting to ride with more intensity? Usually he is butter smooth and he is still smooth but the intensity is coming out. Hunter is starting to hit his stride while Jett has been IN his stride for some time now.

I feel like Jett is more naturally talented and Hunter works harder. That's an easy recipe for resentment; I hope they can remain brothers 100%.
I think Hunter rode better yesterday and Jett got lucky with lappers.

Yeah I think they are both naturally talented. Jett has had the benefit of watching his older brother win GP’s etc. Hunter has shown Jett what needs to be done while Hunter himself has had some body/health issues. Now we are starting to see more of Hunter race to what he is capable of

What will changing teams do?
Nothing coz they will still be brothers. The color of the bike has nothing to do with siblings rivalry.
Nobody suggested it will change their rivalry.

Its about Hunter surely wanting to be someone's No.1, rather than forever being No.2 when on the same team as his brother.

I'm not talking Holeshots, I'm talking about getting out of the hole / gate at least equal to most others.
He is consistantly slow with reaction time, very noticable.

Why does everyone want these two to Cain and Abel it?

They are brothers who have a great relationship. They both want to win. End of story.


A great example of how little animosity there is between the two is Jett stopped teasing Hunter by calling him his sister after Jett showed he was developing as the faster brother. Lots of respect there.

after thinking about it I have the solution

When Hunter is ready to move up to the 450, let him go back to run the gps to take over for gajser

Hunter = 450 2025 world mx champ
Jett = 2025 450 AMA MX champ, maybe sx

Then they can join up and if they can get a decent 250 rider, win MXoN for Australia

Family harmony is restored

You are welcome

You know what, 2-3 years ago this idea wouldn't have been bad. But the way Hunter improved specially in SX just over the last year (obviously finally staying healthy helps), I think both brothers will have great success in 450 SX. By the way, Gajser is only 25, we will still see him for a long time I guess. 😆

I really love my brother and we've always had a very good relationship..
I REALLY wanted to beat him in any sport or competition we ever competed in and vice versa and fuck I would get the shits if he beat me (he is 7 years older so that happened quite a bit haha)
We had a pool table at home that we were often banned from playing each on haha

I'd be pissed too and fine 15-minutes after the race. That's why most sports have a 15 to 30 minute cool off period. Remember the Richard Sherman interview?

In a sport where confidence is everything, id say hunter shouldnt worry. Jett came into this series with a huge amount of confidence, but hunter has been looking better and better and today he looked fantastic. Its just a matter of time, as long as he doesn’t let jett get inside his head.
Hunter for 2022 250 Outdoors Champ!

Immediately crossing the finish line and high fiving your biggest rival for beating you ? That's not what someone fighting for the championship does.

Once the racing is done, and he looks past that, then yes, he'll be happy for his brother, but as long as that adrenaline is still flowing, he should be pissed, that'll drive him to keep working harder.
