in ordine di gara davanti alla Honda Unadilla National

L’importante trasmissione in rete su NBC porterà l’azione in milioni di case con il secondo Moto Showcase con la classe 450 prima, seguita dalla classe 250
 

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (8 agosto 2023) – In vista del nono round del campionato Pro Motocross 2023, sanzionato da AMA Pro Racing, MX Sports Pro Racing, in collaborazione con NBC Sports, ha annunciato che l’ordine di gara per il sabato Honda Unadilla National verrà adattata per dare priorità alla classe 450. Di conseguenza, la principale trasmissione in rete di questo sabato delle seconde manche su NBC presenterà per prima la divisione premier il 12 agosto, a partire dalle 12:00 PT / 15:00 ET, dove milioni di case in tutto il paese avranno l’opportunità di vedere se il Team Jett Lawrence della Honda HRC può concludere il titolo più prestigioso dello sport diventando il quinto rookie della classe 450 a issare la Gary Jones Cup. L’ultima manche della classe 250 seguirà quando Hunter Lawrence del Team Honda HRC e Haiden Deegan del Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing riprenderanno la loro avvincente lotta per il titolo.

“La storia è pronta per essere fatta sabato dal luogo probabilmente più iconico del motocross americano”, ha dichiarato Davey Coombs, presidente, MX Sports Pro Racing. “Ciò che Jett Lawrence ha realizzato quest’estate è qualcosa che non abbiamo mai visto prima in oltre 50 anni di competizione nel campionato Pro Motocross. Il 19enne australiano si è consolidato come il nuovo fenomeno dello sport e porterà un record perfetto e imbattuto nei terreni sacri di Unadilla MX con la possibilità di aggiungere ancora più prevalenza a una stagione già senza precedenti.

Lawrence è attualmente a 16 vittorie su 16 in moto durante la sua prima stagione di gare della classe 450, con otto vittorie complessive e un’impressionante serie di vittorie che lo ha visto continuare la sua ascesa nei libri dei record. Con tre round e sei manche rimanenti nella stagione 2023, il giovane australiano non solo è in grado di diventare il quinto pilota a incidere il suo nome sulla Gary Jones Cup nella sua prima stagione di competizione della classe 450, ma è anche pronto a completare solo la quarta perfect season nella storia del Pro Motocross, che lo collocherebbe in una compagnia d’élite insieme a “The GOAT” Ricky Carmichael e James “Bubba” Stewart.

Le moto di apertura della Honda Unadilla National saranno presentate dal vivo, esclusivamente su Peacock, a partire dalla classe 450 alle 10:00 PT / 13:00 ET. La seconda manche andrà in onda anche in diretta e senza interruzioni su Peacock, con un simulcast televisivo su NBC, a partire dalle 12:00 PT / 15:00 ET. (Per l’Italia si aggiungono 6 ore)

“History is poised to be made on Saturday from arguably the most iconic venue in American motocross,” said Davey Coombs, President, MX Sports Pro Racing. “What Jett Lawrence has accomplished this summer is something we’ve never seen before in more than 50 years of competition in the Pro Motocross Championship.
