The Battle for Supremacy: A Supercross Story
In a city known for its love of sports, the Seattle Supercross is an annual spectacle that never fails to deliver. But this year, things are a little different. Due to the upcoming World Cup and the Seahawks' Super Bowl victory, the event organizers had to pull off a logistical masterpiece, building the track in a mere 30 hours! Bill Heras, the Director of Operations for Monster Energy AMA Supercross, described it as an impressive feat, and we couldn't agree more.
The track itself is a testament to the crew's skill, with well-formed jumps and berms, despite the soft dirt that might cause some challenges. It's a familiar sight for Seattle fans, a true test of the riders' skills.
In the 450 Class, we have a new points leader, Hunter Lawrence, who's been consistently finishing second. Lawrence is yet to claim the elusive 450SX win, but his red plate is a symbol of his consistent performance. Eli Tomac, who had a rough start last week, now sits third, with Ken Roczen hot on his heels.
But here's where it gets controversial... Ty Masterpool, a newcomer to the 2026 season, will be making his debut with the Gizmo Mods Rock River team. Will he be a dark horse in this race? Meanwhile, RJ Hampshire, who was sidelined last week due to illness, will also miss out on Seattle due to a foot injury.
In the 250SX Class, Haiden Deegan is the rider to beat. With four wins in a row, he holds a commanding lead. But Michael Mosiman and Ryder DiFrancesco are hot on his tail, with Max Anstie not far behind. The battle for second place is intense, and a single mistake could change the entire dynamic.
As qualifying begins, the riders showcase their skills. Lux Turner set an initial fast time, but as the session progressed, the times kept dropping. Hunter Yoder and Levi Kitchen took their turns at the top, but it was Deegan who ultimately claimed the fastest time.
Kitchen's performance was impressive, with a unique line through the sand section, carrying momentum through a series of jumps. Deegan, too, was lightning-fast, with a time under 50 seconds, leaving a significant gap between him and the rest of the pack.
When the 450s hit the track, it had already started to rut up, especially in the soft transitions. Hunter Lawrence was quick off the mark, but it was Jorge Prado who stole the show with an incredible lap time. His whoop speed was a sight to behold, but even a small mistake couldn't slow him down. Prado's 50.600 was a full second faster than the next best time, solidifying his position at the top.
And this is the part most people miss... the battle for second place in the 450SX Class is just as intense as the fight for the lead. With Lawrence, Tomac, and Cooper trading places at the top, the race is wide open.
