Eli Tomac Praises Hunter Lawrence’s Stellar Performance at AUS-X Open 2024

Motocross legend Eli Tomac has lauded Hunter Lawrence for his remarkable performance at the recently concluded AUS-X Open 2024 in Melbourne. Lawrence, competing in front of a home crowd, claimed the overall SX1 final victory, a feat that Tomac described as “superb” and “incredible.”

“For Hunter to win the overall in front of his countrymen is a moment of pure joy,” Tomac said. “It’s something every rider dreams of, and he delivered in style.”

Tomac also took the opportunity to highlight Hunter’s achievements, which he feels often go underappreciated in the shadow of his younger brother, Jett Lawrence, who is a rising superstar in the sport.

“Most people are thrilled by Jett’s performances, and rightly so, but Hunter deserves his flowers too,” Tomac stated. “He’s a fantastic racer and a fierce competitor. It’s time people recognize his talent and determination.”

Looking ahead to 2025, Tomac expressed his excitement about once again competing against Hunter in the highly anticipated Supercross season. The upcoming series promises intense battles, with both riders eager to prove their mettle on the global stage.

The AUS-X Open victory cements Hunter Lawrence’s status as one of the premier riders in motocross, and with veterans like Tomac showing respect and admiration for his skills, the future looks bright for the Australian racer. Fans can expect a thrilling year ahead as the sport’s top athletes prepare to push the limits once again.
