The third round of the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship will take place this Saturday in Lakewood, Colorado, at the Toyota Thunder Valley National. Check out the report below for a look at who watch the action from the sidelines.
450 Class
Derek Drake – Back | Out
Drake is dealing with a lingering lower back injury. The team hopes he can return for a few nationals at the end of the season.
Jett Lawrence – Leg | In
Lawrence had a big crash on the first lap at Hangtown and took a hit to his right hip and leg. The footpeg on his motorcycle took a “chunk out of his leg,” but he’s ready to race at Thunder Valley.
Garrett Marchbanks – Thumb | Out
Marchbanks will be back at some point this season following a crash on media day at Fox Raceway before the season opener, which reinjured the thumb he’d hurt during supercross, but it won’t be this weekend.
Phil Nicoletti – Knee | Out
Nicolett went down early in the second moto at Hangtown. He sustained a knee injury, although as of now, the extent of the injury is unclear. He’s out for Thunder Valley.
Eli Tomac – Thumb | Out
Tomac was set to race the 2024 season of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship but sustained a Bennett Fracture (thumb) and tore some ligaments in Denver. The team is hoping to have him back in time for the final three or four nationals.
Cooper Webb - Thumb | Out
Webb is out with a torn UCL in his thumb. It’s hoped he’ll be back for a few races at the end of the season.

Farres is out with a broken femur sustained during supercross. He also recently had knee surgery. There is no timetable on his return.
Austin Forkner – Spine, Scapula | Out

Seth Hammaker – Shoulder | Out
Hammaker is out due to a shoulder injury sustained while practicing during the week before the season opener. The team doesn’t know when he’ll be back, but it probably won’t be until after High Point.

Hampshire will return at some point this season after injuring his wrist on media day before the season opener. As of now, it’s unclear when he’ll be back.
Devin Harriman – Back, Arm | Out
