Riding for the GEICO Honda team, the 16-year-old finished 21st in Moto 1 after an unfortunate fall saw him fall down the order. A bad start in Moto 2 saw Lawrence towards the back of the pack but he regrouped to charge through the pack and finish eighth.

Lawrence admits it was a weekend of ups and downs but was able to come away happy with his progress and valuable experience.

Had a good first @promotocross round at dilla and there was ups and downs but was able to come away with some progress and more experience. First moto was going pretty good but on the second lap I miss judged a single and hit the edge of it and went down, I was ok just the bike was a lil bent up a bit so a little bit hard to ride in the ruts but was able to come back to 21st, second moto started off with not the best start so I started 18th and was able to come through and get 8th in the end so I am pretty happy with that and ended up with 13th overall so pretty good weekend . I just want to say thanks to the whole team at @fchonda and my little mechanic @christien736 and everyone else that is supporting me #ChicoNation #motocross
