News broke before Christmas that 2026 SMX Championship favorite Jett Lawrence had fractured his ankle and foot. The announcement was a devastating blow for the Australian’s SX title hopes, after missing out through injury last year. There is no announcement as to when he will return, but the usual recovery periods for these injuries suggest he won’t be back until at least the second half of the Supercross season. The exclusion of Lawrence upsets the futures odds as he was heavily tipped for glory in the stadium format.
