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.

Doctors assessed Jett Lawrence after a pre-season accident at the Dog Pound Facility in Florida and found two core injuries. He fractured his talus and navicular bone on his right foot. While some Supercross pundits have suggested he will recover faster than usual, it remains to be seen, as this injury typically takes three months or more to completely heal.

It feels like a little bit of deja vu as the younger Lawrence brother finds himself out of Supercross contention for a second consecutive year. Jett tore his ACL at the Glendale Triple Crown event in 2025 and ended his campaign after five rounds on the dirt. He fought back to recover in time for the Pro Motocross series, which he utterly dominated. The Australian annihilated his competition in the back part of the year, winning 11 out of 14 rounds in the Pro Motocross and SMX Playoffs
Futures Odds Implications
The loss of Jett Lawrence from the start hill has turned the 2026 Supercross futures odds on their head. Lawrence was tipped to reign supreme in the betting, but his absence has opened the door for a fierce battle between riders like his older brother Hunter and perennial rivals Eli Tomac, Chase Sexton, and Cooper Webb.
