Andrew McLarney is a MotoGP reporter for GPBlog. With four years experience as a professional writer across the sports and video game industries, his experience as a K1 Premier League competitor evolved into a fascination with all forms of combat sport and eventually motorsport — with MotoGP becoming his primary focus. On top of that he is also an avid follower of MXGP and AMA Supercross as well as F1 and GT racing.
The second round of the 2026 AMA Pro Motocross season is underway at the Hangtown circuit in Rancho Cordova, California as Honda's Jett Lawrence and Yamaha's Haiden Deegan go head-to-head once more.
The rivalry, which was highly anticipated ahead of Deegan's debut in the 450 class, kicked off last weekend in Pala as Hunter Lawrence secured a dominant 1-1 victory and Jett hobbled to a podium. The reigning champion is still recovering from a brutal ankle injury he sustained during pre-season training, but it seems that he is a lot more comfortable on the bike this weekend.

Both Jett and Deegan made much better starts this time around, with Hunter and Prado following behind. Despite a solid effort from the Yamaha rider, Jett was simply too fast and pulled a progressively large gap on the rookie to claim a dominant win in race 1.
That wasn't the end of the story though, as Hunter Lawrence made a clean pass on Deegan with just under three minutes remaining. Deegan responded with a late dive to the inside and made contact with Hunter's bike, but the Australian was undeterred and pulled clear to claim second place.

It was a heartbreaking finish for Prado, who was forced to retire due to a mechanical issue on the final lap of Race 1. Further down the order, it was a new benchmark for Red Bull Ducati as Dylan Ferrandis took a very impressive fourth place. Chase Sexton managed to finish inside the top ten after crashing on the opening lap.
