Racing aboard the 2022 Honda CRF250R, the Lawrence brothers are looking to improve on a successful 2021. The breakout year saw Hunter finish second in Supercross and third in Pro Motocross, while Jett won the Pro Motocross 250 championship.

It has been a whirlwind 12 months for the Australian brothers, with plenty of action both on and off the track. As well as flying the flag for the Honda HRC factory team, the pair now both have coveted Red Bull sponsorship with Hunter recently joining Jett on the Austrian energy drink brand.

Jett is also making big moves in the business world. He is already one of the most marketable riders in the sport, but his brand is very quickly growing thanks to a clothing line, a YouTube series, and now his own brand of donuts.

The 18-year-old announced during a livestream press conference that his is teaming up with an Australian company to produce his own range of donuts dubbed Jettson Donuts.

With friends like Travis Pastrana, Marc Marquez and Daniel Ricciardo, it is clear that the Lawrence’s have some smart people in their corner, and the pair are poised to become superstars, not only in motocross, but in world sport in general. You love to see it.
