Hunter Lawrence Secures Denver Victory as Title Race Narrows to One Point

The gates dropped in Denver and the roost was absolutely flying, and Hunter Lawrence delivered exactly when it mattered most!

On May 2 at Empower Field at Mile High, the Australian Honda rider #96 put on an absolute masterclass in the 450 Main Event. Lawrence seized the lead early and never looked back, riding with incredible smoothness, precision, and zero mistakes to score a dominant victory — his fifth win of the 2026 season. He crossed the finish line more than 12 seconds ahead, sending a massive statement as the championship storm heads into the final round!

This was huge. Entering the night four points behind Ken Roczen, Lawrence slashed that gap all the way down to a single point. After Denver:

• Ken Roczen – 332 points

• Hunter Lawrence – 331 points

One point. One race. Everything still to play for in Salt Lake City.
