Hunter Lawrence Penalized at High Point

Honda HRC’s Hunter Lawrence has been penalized seven points after jumping on a red cross flag in the second 250 moto at round 4 of the Pro Motocross Championship at High Point. 

Correction: The AMA has updated the results and Hunter will still keep the overall. Lawrence was penalized seven championship points. Event results were not affected.

Here is the rule:

**Rule: 2.10. Signal Flags, b. Warning Flags and Signal Lights: iii. White Flag with Red Cross or Red/White Flashing Lights: 9. If Race Direction determines that there was a blatant violation of this rule, the penalty for non-compliance will be: During a Moto Race, if any positions are gained, the loss of the number of positions gained, plus the points and purse equal to two additional positions in the final results for that race, plus two additional points.

See updated results.

Lawrence, who went 3-1 to claim his what would have been his fourth straight overall to begin the season, will now be credited with second place overall, placing one point behind RJ Hampshire. 

Lawrence will keep his positions, but Hampshire is now the overall winner at High Point. 

Below are updated results.

  1. Stop being a bitch Rick.
    It’s really not fair.
    It’s not his fault some other dude was being a pusdy

  2. I wish we could see the incident ourselves because I watched it over several times and I personally never saw a flag but camera angles and stuff may have been different than what we get to see as fans
