Tomac continues to lead the championship so he will again have the red plate backgrounds on his #3 KTM 450 SX-F here today. Lawrence\u2019s strong start to the years (4-2-2 finishes, respectively) has him second in the standings as Sexton, <a class=\"show_card\" href=\"https:\/\/racerxonline.com\/rider\/ken-roczen\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ken Roczen<\/a>, and Anderson round out the top five. <a class=\"show_card\" href=\"https:\/\/racerxonline.com\/rider\/cooper-webb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cooper Webb<\/a> earned his first top-five finish of the year last weekend, finishing 7-8-5 to start his title defense. Webb and Sexton both had tough nights at the opener but Sexton has a podium\/win, whereas Webb\u2019s results have not taken him to the top three yet, so he sits sixth in the standings. A little further back, do not count out the following three riders: <a class=\"show_card\" href=\"https:\/\/racerxonline.com\/rider\/justin-cooper\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Justin Cooper<\/a>, \u00a0<a class=\"show_card\" href=\"https:\/\/racerxonline.com\/rider\/joey-savatgy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joey Savatgy<\/a>, and <a class=\"show_card\" href=\"https:\/\/racerxonline.com\/rider\/jorge-prado\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jorge Prado<\/a>. The three are each off to a solid start and with today\u2019s shorter, more sprint races, this trio could find themselves in the mix for podiums\/race wins. The guys that get great starts repeatedly\u2014Lawrence, Prado, Cooper, Roczen, etc.\u2014all will be ones to watch with today\u2019s three-race format. Thinking back to last year\u2019s first Triple Crown event of the \u201925 season (the Glendale SX), there were three different riders that won the three races (Webb, Roczen, then Tomac) and a fourth different rider won the overall (Sexton). Glendale was the fourth round last year, just like today\u2019s first Triple Crown of \u201926 is. Maybe we see similar results with several different races winners?<\/p>\n<p>And in case you missed it, <a class=\"show_card\" href=\"https:\/\/racerxonline.com\/rider\/ty-masterpool\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><a class=\"show_card\" href=\"https:\/\/racerxonline.com\/rider\/ty-masterpool\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ty Masterpool<\/a> is racing today. After racing with the Monster Energy\/Pro Circuit Kawasaki squad in 2025, the Texan will be on the line for the first time on his private #44 YZ450F in Houston. How will his season debut go? While he has a ton of raw speed, qualifying for the 450SX races is not a guarantee.
