The 2021 AMA Supercross series was in action this weekend at Camping World Stadium for the final race of the Orlando doubleheader, which also kicked off the 250SX West Region series. Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen rode well in qualifying and topped the first 450SX heat race, but when the gate dropped for the main #Event, he suffered a poor start and had to work his way through the pack. The German Eventually settled into a three-way battle with Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac, and although he made an attempt for third near the end, he couldn't complete the pass before the checkered flag and had to settle for fourth. Roczen's title-chase lead over Orlando 2 winner Cooper Webb is now six points.
After watching his brother and 250SX East contender Jett Lawrence race the year's first seven Events, 250SX West competitor Hunter Lawrence commenced his 2021 season in Orlando. The Australian showed good speed throughout the day, posting the fifth-best qualifying time and placing a solid third in his heat race. After he took a third-place start in the main #Event, a lap-one red flag caused a restart. Lawrence started 10th the second time but worked his way through the pack to fifth place at the finish.
