Jett Lawrence crowned King of Paris ahead of Hunter and Webb

2023 Supercross de Paris

Jo Shimoda and Jett Lawrence put their names on the Supercross de Paris winners list on a weekend in which the event celebrated its 40th anniversary.

Hunter Lawrence, Jett Lawrence and Jo Shimoda collectively won the Nations Trophy racing as ‘rest of world’

After taking victory on Saturday, Jett Lawrence backed it up again on Sunday but not in quite as dominant fashion.

Two average starts forced Jett to make comebacks to second place finishes in the first two races, behind his brother Hunter in the first one and then behind Ken Roczen in the second bout.

Ahead of the main event the crown remained up for grabs. The first drama struck in the fourth lap when Jett caused his brother to fall when he passed him to gain second place, and later the race leader Ken Roczen crashed alone before the halfway mark. The way was then clear for Jett who streaked away to win ahead of Cooper Webb and Hunter Lawrence.

Jett winning the evening’s classification and becoming the 28th King of Paris, the first Australian to lift the crown since Chad Reed won the event in 2007.

SX2

Winner of the SX2 class on Saturday, Jo Shimoda did it again on Sunday. A crash at the beginning of the second race saw the Japanese rider claw back to third, behind Tom Vialle and Anthony Bourdon.

SX2 Podium – Shimoda, Vialle and Bourdon

Jo Shimoda won the Sunday classification with victory in race three to become Prince of Paris ahead of Tom Vialle and Anthony Bourdon.

On Saturday night Vialle took 8-2-1 finishes to finish 3rd overall for the evening and after tweaking his suspension set-up overnight he then produced more consistency on Sunday to confirm the runner-up spot overall.

Tom Vialle – P2

“The first day was OK. I had a small crash in the first heat but the second and third was way-better. I was a bit happier on Sunday. We had some great racing with Jo Shimoda. A pretty cool experience to be here! It was really nice to hear all the fans. A nice atmosphere. We know where we need to work, both on the bike and me personally. We have seen a few things to try so we’ll fly back to California next week for that. I cannot wait to be back here in Paris next year.”

Vialle now readies for 2024 in the USA and for his second attempt at the 250SX class with round one taking place at the Angel Stadium, Anaheim on January 6th
