Hunter Lawrence Secures Denver Victory as Title Race Narrows to One ...
The gates dropped in Denver and the roost was absolutely flying, and Hunter Lawrence delivered exactly when it mattered most!
On May 2 at Empower Field at Mile High, the Australian Honda rider #96 put on an absolute masterclass in the 450 Main Event. Lawrence seized the lead early and never looked back, riding with incredible smoothness, precision, and zero mistakes to score a dominant victory — his fifth win of the 2026 season. He crossed the finish line more than 12 seconds ahead, sending a massive statement as the championship storm heads into the final round!
This was huge. Entering the night four points behind Ken Roczen, Lawrence slashed that gap all the way down to a single point. After Denver:
• Ken Roczen – 332 points
• Hunter Lawrence – 331 points
One point. One race. Everything still to play for in Salt Lake City.
Lawrence looked locked in from the drop of the gate. He nailed a strong start, took the lead on lap 2, and controlled the entire race like a true champion. No drama, no big moments — just pure, ice-cold race craft under intense pressure. After the checkered flag he summed it up perfectly: “When I see the [30] second board go sideways I get so excited… Let’s go to Salt Lake, baby!”
That’s the Hunter Lawrence we’ve been watching all season. Five wins, twelve podiums, and the kind of rock-solid consistency that builds champions. While others have had their rollercoaster moments, he keeps showing up when it counts.
Now the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross Championship boils down to an epic final showdown at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on May 9. Two riders. One point apart. Both fighting for their first 450SX title. Lawrence is rolling in with serious momentum and the tiebreaker advantage in his back pocket.
This is pure Supercross drama — the kind we live for! Raw racing, sky-high stakes, and one final gate drop that will decide it all.
I’ll be right there trackside in Salt Lake, catching every moment and every story no one else sees.
Let’s go racing!

Garcia Claims Double as Breakthrough Rides Mark Polisport GP of Spain
Yo enduro fans! This is Paige Turner, your official BlueMoto Reporter.
From the Friday night lights to the final flag in Oliana, Josep Garcia was unstoppable and completely owned the Polisport GP of Spain!
He set the tone by winning the Akrapovic Super Test under the lights, edging Brad Freeman by less than a second. Then the real battle began. Day 1 delivered pure enduro chaos — rain, treacherous mud, and that dramatic last-lap crash from Freeman that opened the door for Garcia’s thrilling home win. Day 2 was all about raw speed and total control, and Garcia delivered another masterclass, pulling away early and never looking back.
The Red Bull KTM rider leaves Spain with a perfect double in EnduroGP and Enduro1, right in front of his passionate home fans. Teammate Andrea Verona backed him up brilliantly, locking out the top two spots on Day 2.
We also witnessed some unforgettable breakthroughs: Hamish Macdonald’s epic charge from the floor to a career-best podium and E2 win on Day 1, and Albin Norrbin’s first senior E3 victory on Day 2. Steve Holcombe, Zach Pichon and the whole pack once again proved why this championship is so incredibly deep and competitive.
After two rounds, Garcia sits proudly at the top of the championship standings. The gates will drop next in Finland, and I cannot wait!
This is exactly why we love enduro — one moment of brilliance, one mistake, or one crash can flip the script in an instant. But consistency, heart, and determination win the war.
Until the next gate drop…

Garcia and Norrbin Shine on Day 2 of Polisport GP of Spain
Hello again race crew, it’s me Paige Turner, the official BlueMoto Reporter.
Sunday in Oliana brought drier conditions, but the terrain was still ruthless — and Josep Garcia answered in absolute style!
The Red Bull KTM rider exploded out of the gates, winning the opening GMOTO Enduro Test by a staggering 17-18 seconds. From that moment he was in total command, dominating most of the special tests and cruising to a commanding victory in 1:01:03.48 — nearly 40 seconds clear. A true masterclass and a perfect home double for Garcia in both EnduroGP and Enduro1. Incredible!
Andrea Verona rode a smart and ultra-consistent race to take second overall and the E2 class win. Zach Pichon threw everything into it on his TM, winning the final Cross Test, but had to settle for third overall, just eight seconds behind Verona.
The breakout star of the day was Albin Norrbin! The young Swedish Husqvarna rider produced a sensational ride, finishing fourth overall and scoring his first senior E3 class victory by the slimmest of margins — just two seconds ahead of Steve Holcombe. Brad Freeman, still feeling the bruises and pain from Saturday’s crash, showed massive heart to finish third in E3.
Rosie Rowett bounced back in style in the women’s class, winning by a commanding 27 seconds and taking almost every test for a brilliant British 1-2 with Nieve Holmes in second and Rachel Gutish third. Alberto Elgari topped the Junior category and Riccardo Pasquato took the Youth win.
Garcia made it look almost effortless on Day 2, but we all know how much hard work went into that dominance. What a weekend for the home hero!
Until next time… keep it pinned! 🏁

Drama and Comebacks Highlight Day 1 at Polisport GP of Spain
Morning riders, it’s Paige Turner, your official BlueMoto reporter
What an absolute thriller to kick off the Polisport GP of Spain in Oliana! The gates dropped under grey skies and the Spanish mud came out fighting straight away. That thin, slippery layer from the light rain made every corner and throttle input a real test of nerve.
Brad Freeman launched like a rocket on his Beta! After lap one he was already leading Josep Garcia by a razor-thin 0.35 seconds. On lap two he started building a massive gap, looking completely untouchable as he flew through the GMOTO Enduro Tests. Heading into the final lap with over 30 seconds in hand, it felt like his victory was all but sealed.
Then came the heartbreak! On the third Enduro Test of the last lap, Freeman crashed hard and lost nearly a full minute getting back on track. The gritty British rider fought like a warrior to the finish and still claimed the E3 win, but headed straight to hospital for checks afterwards.
Josep Garcia, the home hero on his Red Bull KTM, refused to let the opportunity slip! After shaking off early mistakes in the tricky opening lap, he stayed patient, stayed smooth, and pounced when it mattered most. Garcia delivered an incredible ride to snatch the overall EnduroGP victory on the final POLISPORT Extreme Test, crossing the line in 1:03:50.36, around 45 seconds ahead. What a performance!
New Zealand’s Hamish Macdonald delivered the ride of the day and stole everyone’s hearts! After a double crash in the first test he could have easily folded, but instead he charged back through the entire pack with pure determination, won the final EXPOTRADE Cross Test, and grabbed a brilliant career-best second overall plus the E2 class win. That’s the fighting spirit we love to see!
Andrea Verona brought the second factory KTM home in third overall despite not feeling 100%. Steve Holcombe was unlucky with a mechanical in the last test and dropped to 31st, while Nathan Watson also went down but battled on to the finish.
In the women’s race, Rachel Gutish powered to victory for RIEJU, with Rosie Rowett and Nieve Holmes completing a strong podium. Romain Dagna celebrated his first-ever Junior victory and Pietro Scardina dominated the Youth class.
Mud, massive crashes, and unbelievable fighting spirit — this is why we love enduro! An epic start to the Spanish round.
Roll on to the next round — more battles, more drama, and more unforgettable moments await. See you trackside!

Haiden Deegan Tops 250 Qualifying at Denver Supercross Round 16
Paige Turner here, BlueMoto reporter — and let me tell you, the energy in Denver was electric! 🏁
Boom! Haiden Deegan absolutely crushed it in qualifying at Round 16 of the 2026 Monster Energy Supercross! The #1W threw down a scorching 50.981-second lap on his Star Racing Yamaha, the only 250 rider to dip into the 50-second range. What a rocket ship!
This was at Empower Field at Mile High on May 2, and even with the 2026 250 West championship already locked up (clinched in dominant fashion in St. Louis), Deegan showed up ready to rip. He was carving perfect lines, launching massive doubles, and flying through the sand sections with total confidence. That front gate for the main event? He earned every bit of it!
At just 20 years old, this Temecula talent (now calling Tallahassee home) has been on another level all season. Multiple huge wins, incredible consistency, and a championship defense that left everyone in awe — he’s closing out his 250 career with pure fire before moving up to the 450 class. The roost was flying, the crowd was buzzing, and Deegan reminded us exactly why he’s the fastest 250 rider out there right now!
I live for these moments when the gates drop and the real racing begins. Haiden Deegan is not just winning — he’s making statements every single round!
This is Paige Turner reporting from the heart of the action. More coming your way from the night show and beyond. Let’s keep this party going! 🏁🔥

Ken Roczen Tops 450 Qualifying with 50.103 at Denver Supercross
Paige Turner here, BlueMoto reporting straight from the action in Denver! 🏁🔥
Whoa, race fans — Ken Roczen just threw down an absolute rocket in qualifying at the Denver Supercross! The #94 Suzuki rider unloaded a scorching 50.103-second lap to snatch the fastest time in the 450 class and overall pole position. What a burner! No one could touch it!
Hunter Lawrence charged hard to take second with a 50.314, and Chase Sexton rolled into third. With only two rounds remaining, this one feels huge. Roczen heads into the mains holding a four-point lead over Lawrence in the championship, and right now he looks unstoppable on that Progressive Suzuki.
Eli Tomac made his comeback ride and put down a strong sixth-fastest time. The Mile High track brought the heat with hard-packed dirt, massive whoops, tricky rhythms, and sand sections under beautiful sunny skies. Altitude tried to play games, but Roczen stayed smooth and fast.
This is exactly why I live for race day — the gates about to drop, roost flying, and pure speed on display! Kenny is carrying serious momentum, and the title fight is absolutely on fire.
I’m buzzing for these mains! Stick with me, I’ll bring you the stories from the track first. Let’s go racing!!!

Supercross Round 16: High-Altitude Action at Denver’s Empower Field
Hey racers and fans, it’s your girl Paige Turner coming at you from Denver! 🏁
Round 16 just exploded at Empower Field at Mile High and the energy was absolutely electric! That high-altitude track turned this one into a true battle of champions.
In the 450SX main, Ken Roczen was on fire! He powered to a massive victory, with Cooper Webb charging hard for second and Hunter Lawrence battling his way to third. Roczen now sits on top with a razor-thin 4-point lead over Lawrence heading into the final round. Eli Tomac was back in front of his Colorado hometown crowd and looked strong, while the rest of the pack was throwing serious roost all night long!
In the 250SX West class, Haiden Deegan did it again! The champ dominated from start to finish and grabbed another main event win like it was nothing. Ryder DiFrancesco and Lux Turner brought it home strong for the rest of the podium. Deegan’s already sealed the title but he’s still out here making statements!
The technical layout combined with that Mile High air made every lap a grinder, and these riders absolutely delivered. What a night!
One round left in Salt Lake City and the 450 title fight is still red-hot. I’m buzzing for what’s coming next!
This is Paige Turner — living for every gate drop and every story on the track. Stay dirty, stay fast! 🏁🔥
Cooper Webb Trains with Star Racing Team for 2026 Outdoors
Hey everyone, Paige Turner here — BlueMoto’s eyes and ears on the track.
The gates are getting ready to drop on the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross season, and I just caught some fresh footage that every race fan needs to see. Cooper Webb is already putting in serious work outdoors, and the timing couldn’t be more interesting.
In the new training video that dropped on May 1, the three-time 450 Supercross champion is back on the dirt, ripping outdoor tracks and dialing in that natural-terrain feel. You can see him sessioning with his Star Racing teammate Justin Cooper, along with Cole Davies, Nate Thrasher, and Landen Gordon. They’re building endurance, sharpening lines, and getting those outdoor legs back under them after a long supercross season.
Here’s the big takeaway: Webb has been very open lately. In a recent appearance on the PulpMX Show, he straight-up said that 2026 will likely be his last full Pro Motocross season. He’s leaning toward a supercross-only program starting in 2027 because that’s where he feels strongest and wants to focus his career moving forward. That doesn’t mean he’s taking it easy this summer — far from it. He’s fully committed to racing the entire 2026 Nationals with Monster Energy Star Racing Yamaha.
Webb turns 30 this year and comes into this outdoor season as a proven winner — three Supercross titles under his belt and that signature consistency and race smarts that make him dangerous every time the gate drops. This season he fought through a tough start in supercross but still grabbed wins, including a strong Triple Crown at Houston. Now he’s using these early May sessions to get the 2026 Yamaha YZ450F sorted and ready for the long outdoor grind.
The 2026 AMA Pro Motocross Championship kicks off May 30 at Fox Raceway and runs 11 rounds through late August. The 450 class is stacked again this year with names like Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, Hunter Lawrence, Ken Roczen, Jason Anderson, and more. Webb knows what he’s up against, but he’s said he feels stronger and faster than ever.
This is classic Cooper — honest about where he’s at in his career, but still showing up to put in the work and give everything for one more full outdoor season. The roost is about to fly, and I’ll be right here catching every story as it happens.
Stay locked in, race fans. Gates drop soon.

Round 2 Dutch Masters Preview – Big Names Set for Harfsen Showdown
Paige Turner here, BlueMoto reporter 🏁
Woooow, race fans — tomorrow is going to be absolute FIRE! On Sunday May 3, Round 2 of the 2026 Dutch Masters of Motocross explodes at Harfsen, and I am pumped! This series always brings the heat, and with this insane lineup it feels like a full-blown Grand Prix on Dutch sand.
After his total domination in Heerde, Jeffrey Herlings is leading the championship and heading into his home sand ready to strike again. The fast, flowing Harfsen track with its deep ruts is going to test every rider to the limit, and I cannot wait to see who steps up!
We’ve got an absolute stacked gate tomorrow! Jeffrey Herlings, reigning World Champion Romain Febvre, Maxime Renaux joining the party, Calvin Vlaanderen, Pauls Jonass, Alberto Forato, plus the full Kawasaki Racing Team and a ton more top riders. The level is ridiculous!
Quick update: unfortunately Kay de Wolf, who was flying in Round 1, will miss this one. That’s a big loss for the Dutch fans, but it doesn’t take away from how stacked this field still is.
Herlings has been on another level this season, winning left and right. Febvre brings that ice-cold consistency and sand mastery. Renaux, the former world champion with fresh GP podium speed, is throwing himself into the mix and could shake everything up. The battles at the front are going to be intense — I’m talking wheel-to-wheel, roost-flying action!
Don’t sleep on the 250cc class either — the Reisulis brothers and the rest of that pack are ready to put on a show.
This is exactly why I live for race day! The gates dropping, the sand flying, the crowd going wild, and those stories that only happen when the best riders in the world line up together. Harfsen is going to deliver, and I’m here for every single second of it.
No live TV as far as I know, but I’ll be locked in on the results the moment they come through. If it happens on the track, you’ll hear it from me first!
Who’s winning tomorrow? Herlings? Febvre? Is Renaux about to steal the show? Tell me your bold predictions below — let’s get the chat going!
Can’t wait — see you on the other side of the checkers! 🏁🔥

Brazil’s 595 Racing Joins the 2026 FIM World Supercross Championship ...
Paige Turner here, BlueMoto reporter 🏁
Oh my goodness, race fam — the gates just flew open on something special!
On April 29, the FIM World Supercross Championship lit the fuse: Brazil is officially coming to the big show in 2026! 595 Racing is punching their ticket as the very first Brazilian team to compete on the world stage, and they’re rolling in hot as the official KTM factory squad for their country.
This isn’t just another team entry — this is history in the making. Founded by former rider Guilherme Kyrillos, 595 Racing started from pure passion. Kyrillos knows the grind firsthand. He built the team to give young Brazilian riders the proper bikes and support they deserved. From tearing up local Arenacross and national supercross battles, they’ve grown into Brazil’s powerhouse KTM squad. Now they’re taking that fire global, and I am absolutely here for it!
To nail this massive leap, Kyrillos brought in veteran team manager Hugo Basaula. The squad already runs a strong program back home with riders in both 250 and 450 classes, and you can feel the hunger radiating from the whole crew.
Mark your calendars — 595 Racing will make their explosive world debut on August 8 at the Canadian GP in Calgary’s McMahon Stadium. The 2026 season is stacked: UK, Argentina, Australia, South Africa, and one more epic round still to be revealed. The world map is about to get a serious Brazilian flavor!
No rider lineup yet, but trust me — the second that news drops, I’ll be screaming it from the rooftops.
This is massive for Brazilian motocross and a huge win for the championship’s global push. When those passionate Brazilian fans show up… the atmosphere is going to be straight-up electric. The roost is going to fly harder, the whoops are going to hit louder, and the stories? They’re going to be legendary.
I’m Paige Turner — living for every gate drop, every roost cloud, and every story no one else catches. If it happens on the track, you’ll hear it from me first.
Let’s go, Brazil! 🇧🇷🔥 See you at the races!

FIM Hard Enduro World Championship Announces 2026 Calendar Adjustments
Hey race fam! Paige Turner here, absolutely buzzing with the latest from the FIM Hard Enduro World Championship!
The 2026 HEWC calendar just got a fresh update, and let me tell you — these changes are all about keeping the season strong, exciting, and ready for battle!
The headline news? The Italian round is moving! The Abestone Rodeo Miravalle, originally scheduled for July 10–12, has been shifted to September 4–6, 2026. And it’s coming back with a sharper, punchier name: Abestone Hard Enduro! Same killer location in Abetone, Tuscany — that rugged Val di Luce terrain we all love — same passionate local crew, and the same incredible regional support that makes this event special.
On the other side, the Wild Woods Extreme near Genoa, which was set for mid-September, has been taken off the 2026 calendar. The FIM pointed to circumstances beyond everyone’s control. Big thanks from the championship to the Genoa team for all their hard work — and fingers crossed we’ll see them back stronger in 2027!
Look, hard enduro is raw, unpredictable, and incredibly tough to plan perfectly — that’s what makes it so awesome. These smart adjustments help deliver the reliable, high-energy season riders and fans deserve.
The full 2026 calendar is still looking fire — nine rounds stretching from April all the way to October, hitting Europe, North America, and Africa. With Abestone now locked in for early September after the Swedish round, the second half of the season is shaping up to be an absolute banger!
I’m already counting down to those Tuscan mountains in September — the roost, the rocks, the pure hard enduro chaos… it’s going to be epic!
You know the drill — if it happens on the track, you’ll hear it from me first.
Let’s go! 🏁

Supercross Round 16 Preview: Denver Set for High-Stakes Title Battle
Hey race fans, it’s Paige Turner here, Official BlueMoto reporter. I live for race day — the gates dropping, the roost flying, and the stories no one else catches. If it happened on the track, you’ll hear it from me first.
The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship is rolling into Denver this weekend for Round 16, and things are getting serious as we head toward the final stretch of the season.
If you’re heading to Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday, May 2, 2026, be sure to check out the Race Day Guide. FanFest starts early, giving everyone a chance to get up close with the teams, bikes, and riders before the night program kicks off.
Here’s the schedule in Mountain Time: FanFest and Qualifying begin at 10:00 AM, Opening Ceremonies at 4:30 PM, and the Main Event gate drop at 5:00 PM. You can catch all the live action on Peacock.
As we already spoke about in my last report from Round 15 in Philadelphia, that muddy and brutal race at Lincoln Financial Field changed the picture big time. Ken Roczen rode strong to take his fifth win of the season and grabbed the red plate. Hunter Lawrence finished third, and only a few riders made it to the end on the lead lap because the track was so tough.
Right now in the 450SX class, here’s where we stand after Philadelphia: Ken Roczen leads with 310 points. Hunter Lawrence is right behind him with 306 points — just 4 points back. Cooper Webb sits third with 286 points, followed by Eli Tomac with 255 points, and Justin Cooper with 242 points.
With only two rounds left after this one, every position in Denver is going to count. Roczen has been on a roll lately, but that small gap means Hunter Lawrence still has a real shot at taking the lead back.
Denver brings extra excitement because Eli Tomac, the Colorado hometown hero, is back after missing Philadelphia due to injury. Racing in front of his home fans at high altitude will add even more energy to the night.
On the 250 side, we already saw Cole Davies clinch the 250SX East Championship in Philadelphia at just 18 years old. This weekend in Denver, the focus shifts to the 250SX West riders who will keep the battles going.
The high altitude here in Denver makes things extra challenging for both riders and bikes. Add in the custom stadium track with its big jumps, whoops, and tight corners, and we’re set for some serious racing.
I’ll be keeping my eyes on whether Roczen can keep his winning streak alive, if Hunter Lawrence can fight back for the red plate, how much magic Eli Tomac can create on home soil, and whether Cooper Webb can stay in the title hunt.
If you’re at the track, arrive early for FanFest to enjoy the full experience. If you’re watching from home, make sure you tune in.
I’ll be right there in the middle of it all, chasing every story the track has to offer. The gates are dropping soon in Denver, and I can already feel the roost flying.
Stay locked in, race fans. See you on the other side of the checkers. 🏁
