Supercross US – Atlanta
Posted on April 17, 2022
It was in Atlanta that the 14th of the 17 rounds of this year’s US Supercross championship took place this weekend.
In SX450, Jason Anderson took the opportunity to add a success to his personal counter, without much consequence for the championship since Eli Tomac took the second step of the podium ahead of Sexton, Webb and Stewart. While 3 events remain to be contested, Tomac has a 53-point lead over Anderson in the provisional and might therefore be titled two events before the end.
In SX250, Atlanta scored the first shootout of the season, pitting riders from both coasts once morest each other. Hunter Lawrence won ahead of Christian Craig and his brother Jett Lawrence. The latter thus widens the gap a little more on RJ Hampshire in the championship on the east coast while 23 points still separate Hunter Lawrence from leader Christian Craig in the west.
The championship continues next weekend in Foxborough before joining Denver and then Salt Lake City for the season finale.
