Chase Sexton’s seven moto win streak may have been broken at Unadilla but he’s still just one of two 450MX riders to have won an overall since the beginning of the 2023 season.

Yup. In the last 20 rounds of 450 Pro Motocross, only Jett Lawrence (15) and Sexton (5) have won races.

Just three riders have won a moto this season, which is triple what happened in 2023 but far less than the eight riders who won a moto in 2020 (when only 18 motos were run).

450 Pro Motocross Winners, Last 5 Seasons

After Jett Lawrence’s perfect 2023 season, he won the first 4 of 5 overalls before dropping out with the thumb injury. In an earlier post, we analyzed his first 15 450MX starts, of which he won 14.

The door seemed open for a whole handful of opportunists but Chase Sexton has firmly taken charge. He’s won 4 straight.

Here’s a head scratcher: Hunter Lawrence has led more laps than Chase Sexton (70 to 68) and has led in eight motos (Sexton has led in 11). H. Lawrence has two moto wins and has yet to win a 450MX overall. Sexton has 10 moto wins and 5 overall victories.

ROCK THE TEE!
The Rookie vs. The Veteran

Sexton has come from behind to beat Hunter in 5 motos. Jett Lawrence also did that to his brother once (Thunder Valley moto 2).

Bad news: Hunter isn’t finishing the job. Good news: Hunter has the starts and is getting reps leading the pack.
