2026 AMA Pro Motocross has stormed into round two, Hangtown, and been met by scorching temperatures. It's back to business as usual with an assortment of riders available for press day; Hunter Lawrence, Chance Hymas, Michael Mosiman, Maximus Vohland and Lux Turner spoke to Vital MX's Lewis Phillips for a brief period.

The defending champion, Jett Lawrence, was scheduled to appear but opted out in order to save his ankle. His brother, Hunter, explained why the pair will miss the 2026 Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations and how he really cannot be much better than he was at Fox Raceway. Hymas discusses fork adjustments, Mosiman touches on an experimental seat, Turner talks confidence and Vohland breaks down his intense battles with Nate Thrasher.

The Vital MX pre-race interviews – presented by Lewis Phillips – are proudly backed by THOR MX.
