Orlando 1 Report: Cooper Webb storms to victory - Jett Lawrence grabs second 250SX win
By Feld Entertainment on 14th Feb 21
AMA Supercross Cooper Webb Jett Lawrence Orlando
The seventh round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship held its first open-air race of the season inside Camping World Stadium in Orlando,
Florida. Race fans, seated in restricted-attendance pod-style seating, braved morning rains to witness Red Bull KTM's Cooper Webb take his second 450SX Class win of the season ahead of Team Honda HRC's Ken Roczen. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Zach Osborne held on for a hard-fought third place.
The Eastern Regional 250SX Class delivered drama early in the night, but in the Main Event it was Team Honda HRC's Jett Lawrence with a wire-to-wire win.
The big drama of the 250SX class had come earlier in the night.
Christian Craig crashed hard in 250SX Class Heat 2 while leading; Craig was pitched and slow to get up, evaluating his right hand. He returned for the Last Chance Qualifier with the injury taped up. He rode conservatively for the LCQ win and a spot on the Main Event gate.
Craig gutted it out through the pain in the Main Event for third, losing only two points on his team-mate as the regional series goes into a 10-week break before the final two rounds to determine the champion.
What's next in Supercross?
The racers line up again inside the same stadium on a completely re-designed track next Saturday for the second of the Orlando double-header; the February 20th Florida race will kick off the 2021 Western Regional 250SX Class series with a new group of hungry racers eager to start their title campaigns with a win.
