Lawrence brothers 1-2 after opening night at Supercross de Paris

2023 Supercross de Paris

Saturday race program

Both racing for the first time in Paris, Jett Lawrence and Jo Shimoda dominated their respective SX1 and SX2 classes during the first sold-out evening of the 40th edition of the Supercross de Paris at the París La Défense Arena on Saturday night.  They will head into the Sunday competition as the favourites, but some of their rivals are determined to seek their revenge.

SX1

Jett Lawrence won all the three races on Saturday. Winner of the first heat, Jett waited until the last turn of the last lap of the second heat to pass his brother Hunter who had up until then been leading the entire race.

Then with Jett leading final contest of the night after a mistake from Ken Roczen, the Australian seemed to be flying to victory when he then also made a mistake and gave the leadership back to Roczen.

It took Jett four laps to regain the lead of the race and went on to claim a clean sweep of Saturday night.

Runner-up to Jett in the first two races, Hunter Lawrence was in the leading trio in the final before making a mistake after Jordi Tixier fell in the whoops; the elder of the two Lawrence brothers eventually finishing sixth in that final bout.

Nevertheless that still earned Hunter his second place overall ahead of Ken Roczen who, despite a fall in the second race, climbed on the third step of the podium, tied on points with Cooper Webb who ranked fourth. They were followed by Cédric Soubeyras, Gregory Aranda and Jordi Tixier.
