- Hunter Lawrence secured a consistent 2–2, reinforcing Honda’s sibling sweep.
- Eli Tomac grabbed two third-place moto finishes (3–3), rounding out the podium.
250 Class

G2 Throttle Highlights
The G2 Ergonomics throttle system, lauded for its smoother power delivery and precision control, continues to gain traction with top riders to include Tomac and Deegan. Notably, Cooper Webb utilized a G2 throttle during this weekend’s Supercross and it’s becoming increasingly common among pro motocross riders.

What This Means
- 450 class: Jett is virtually unbeatable with a perfect season, and his brother Hunter is the strongest challenger. Tomac continues to hold a solid podium consistency in third.
- 250 class: Deegan’s dominance has created a massive 58-point cushion. Vialle and Kitchen are tied for second but still have work to do.
🚦 Final Thoughts
Southwick’s deep sand favored clean starts and smart throttle control—precisely where the G2 throttle system shines. While Cooper Webb was confirmed using it at the Supercross round, expect more pros to adopt the tech in sandy moto environments. As we head into Round 6 at RedBud (July 5), watch for the Lawrences and Deegan to keep their momentum, and tune in to see if any challengers can disrupt their dominance.
