An Epochal Open Letter from Jett Lawrence to Honda HRC, Fans, and the Supercross and Motocross Communities
To the great Honda HRC Racing family, my fans around the globe, and the entire Supercross and Motocross community:
As I sit down to write this, I am filled with gratitude, contemplation, and pride. The journey from a young Australian kid dreaming of racing on the world’s biggest stages to where I am now has been nothing short of incredible—and it wasn’t one I took alone.
Thank you, Honda HRC, for believing in me before the world knew my name. You provided me with the resources, platform, and environment to pursue my wildest aspirations. You’ve become more than a racing squad to me. From the mechanics to the managers and everyone who works behind the scenes, you all made me feel like more than just a rider. You invested in me not just as an athlete, but also as a person. You helped shape me into the competitor I am now.
To the fans: wow. What shall I say? You’ve supported me through every race, injury, victory, and misstep. Your cheers from the stands, your messages online, the posters, the meet-and-greets, the energy—it all feeds me in ways I can’t explain. Whether you’ve been with me since the beginning or have only recently joined the ride, please know that I carry your support with me every time I line up at the gate.
To the Supercross and Motocross community, the sport is more than just racing. It’s about family, passion, and resilience. I grew up in this community, which is defined by its competition and friendship. I appreciate all of my fellow bikers. Pushing against the best has helped me improve. To the legends that came before me: you paved the path. And to the next generation: keep grinding, be modest, and never forget why you started.
This road has had its share of challenges—injuries, pressure, and expectations—but it is those moments that have taught me the most. And in each one, I sensed your encouragement. I’ll be eternally grateful for the opportunity you offered me to develop, fall, and rise again.
I know we’ve had some amazing times already, but believe me, we’re only getting started. The fire is still burning strong, and I’m more driven than ever to give it my all for Honda, my fans, and this community.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, belief, and willingness to ride this wave with me.
With love, respect, and full throttle gratitude,
Jett Lawrence,
