Preview and schedule for the AMA Pro Motocross Championships at Washougal

Following two rounds on sand, the US Nationals return to hard-pack terrain and the West Coast this weekend for their eighth round in Washougal, Washington. The event will be held as a ‘Military Appreciation Race’ – a race in honour of the US armed forces. Some teams will be showcasing their motorbikes and riders’ kit in a ‘military-style’ livery. Regardless of the questionable track record of recent US military operations, such displays continue to hold great patriotic significance in the United States.

Weather forecast

The weather forecast predicts temperatures of around 22 degrees Celsius on Saturday with light cloud cover – perfect conditions for outdoor motocross. The course is nestled amongst tall trees, which provide ample shade for spectators.

450 Class Standings

Following his one-two finish at Spring Creek last weekend, Hunter Lawrence (Honda) has reclaimed the lead in the 450 class, holding a 10-point advantage over his younger brother Jett, who has had a run of bad luck recently. Haiden Deegan (Yamaha) is the top American in third place with 62 points. Jorge Prado is the top KTM rider in fourth place.
