Jett Lawrence Suffers Injury in Training Accident

Jett Lawrence, the reigning AMA Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross champion, has suffered a significant injury during training. On December 20, 2025, Honda HRC Progressive announced that Lawrence fractured his right ankle and foot in a crash at the Dog Pound facility in Dade City, Florida.

Injury Details and Surgery

Following the accident, Lawrence underwent surgery to repair a fractured talus and navicular bone in his foot. The anticipated recovery time is a minimum of three months, ruling him out of the upcoming AMA Supercross season. Despite this setback, Lawrence aims to return in time to defend his titles in the AMA Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross events.

Career Achievements

At the young age of 22, Lawrence has already captured ten professional AMA championships. He expressed his disappointment about the injury but remains focused on making a strong comeback.

Lawrence’s Statement

“Words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now,” Lawrence stated. He emphasized the hard work he and his team have put in during the offseason and his commitment to a full recovery.

Team Impact and Future Competitors

Lawrence’s teammate, Jo Shimoda, is also sidelined due to a neck injury sustained last month. For the upcoming AMA Supercross opener in Anaheim, California, scheduled for January 10, the team will feature Hunter Lawrence and Chance Hymas.

Hunter Lawrence: Finished second overall in AMA Pro Motocross and SuperMotocross for the last two years.
Chance Hymas: Recently recovered from ACL surgery and eager to excel in the 2026 season.

Team Manager’s Perspective

Brandon Wilson, Manager of Racing and Advertising at American Honda, acknowledged the unfortunate injuries affecting the team’s dynamics. He mentioned the positive atmosphere leading into the Supercross season and reiterated the team’s commitment to supporting the remaining riders as they prepare for the competition.

As Lawrence focuses on his recovery, both Hunter and Chance are expected to step up and compete at a high level. The Honda HRC Progressive team remains optimistic about their chances in the 2026 racing season.
