ROCZEN WINS CLEVELAND TRIPLE CROWN, CUTS LAWRENCE'S CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD TO SINGLE POINT

Hey everyone, it’s Paige Turner coming at you LIVE from the muddy madness of Cleveland! 🏁

And wow. Just wow. I’ve covered a lot of races, but this one? This one was a championship-altering survival fight in freezing rain and swirling wind. The Triple Crown format already makes everything unpredictable, but throw in a soaked track and a one-point margin afterward? I can barely feel my fingers and I am PUMPED.

Ken Roczen walked into that stadium, stayed cool when everyone else was spinning out, and delivered a 2-2-1 masterclass. That’s his fourth win of 2026 and the 27th of his career — tying him for 10th on the all-time supercross wins list! He grabbed the holeshot in the final race and just rode away. 8.7 seconds. In the mud. Are you kidding me?

“I had no idea I was one point back,” Roczen said afterward. “I am so blown away with the gamble we took with the weather. It kept raining and I just stuck with roll-offs to be safe.”

Meanwhile, Hunter Lawrence had a night he’ll want to forget immediately. Race one? Flawless — holeshot, win, looked untouchable. Then the track bit back. Race two he finished fifth. And race three? Starts eighth, crashes in the whoops, crashes AGAIN trying to recover, and to make everything worse — a loose vent hose from his gas cap came off and started splashing fuel onto his body over every jump. In the rain. On his chest. He limped home 14th in that final race.

“I had a bad start and just made it tough on myself,” Lawrence said. “It was a bit of a sh** night at the office. We’ll come back next weekend in Philly.”
