It was a topsy-turvy day in the 450 class, all the major players showed up brimming with confidence, but the first to fall was Eli Tomac, who was clipped from behind in the air, which spun his bike around and Eli landed on his own footpeg.  He hobbled off, looking for all the world, like he had hurt the same hip that he hurt two weeks ago. He called it a day. Hunter would win the first 450 heat.

Hunter Lawrence (96) looked like the man with a plan after winning the first 450 heat race, but it just looked that way.

In the second 450 heat, Ken Roczen got the holeshot and lead, but spun out on the slick and hard dirt and laid his RM-Z450 down, Hunter Lawrence went on to win the second 450 heat, while Roczen was fourth.

In the 450 main, Hunter got the holeshot, but Ken bumped him in the first hairpin and took over the lead. Hunter, now in second, and getting closer to Ken Roczen, was distracted when Jorge Prado caught up to him. With Hunter thinking too much about Prado, he jumped off the track and re-entered while Prado passed him for second place. Hunter didn’t calm down and ended up pushing front wheel and went down on a steeply banked bowl turn. Hunter picked his bike up in a hurry and Justin Hill clipped the unmanned bike and it went down again. By this time Hunter was in seventh place, while Ken Roczen settled into a safe and sane pace—and ended up letting Chase Sexton, Jorge Prado and Justin Cooper pass him. Ken would continue to just ride the track, because he only needed to beat Hunter Lawrence to win the 2026 Supercross Championship (and didn’t care about anyone else). In fact, Roczen dropped back to fifth place.

If this sounds confusing, just watch the above video!

Chase Sexton took the Salt Lake Supercross victory, technically his second win of the season, because Ken Roczen didn’t care about anybody other than Hunter Lawrence—so he let Sexton, Prado and Justin Cooper by in the fading laps.
