INSTAGRAM | @hunterlawrence

Hunter Lawrence’s first year in the United States has been riddled by injuries, and he the latest setback comes just as the AMA season concludes. On Friday morning, the GEICO Honda rider announced that a small mistake while practicing ahead of the 2019 Ironman Motocross has resulted in tears to the ACL and meniscus in his knee, along with a sprain to the MCL. The injury happened on Wednesday and will require much of the offseason for recovery. 

Though the results are limited, Lawrence has shown promise this summer with moto wins and top-five finishes in the 250 class of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. On a multi-year contract with the team, his spot is safe in 2020.

When it rains it pours… been a very rough past month, two days ago whilst training long story short, my foot hit the ground and twisted the wrong way, to say I’m gutted is an understatement, bit of a rock bottom moment for the year. I don’t doubt i will be back. Nothing but another little bump in our road to success, Plan now is simple, rehabilitation and get back to 100%💪🏽 Thankyou to all of my supporters, sponsors and team, appreciate you guys so much. Not how we wanted to end the year, but hey.. sh#t happens🤷🏽‍♂️ I will be back 💪🏽 P.S really wanted to meet @remithemonkey this weekend😫😂 #illbeback #wewontquit
