This is it. 450 Moto 2 at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena — the final moto of the 2026 SuperMotocross World Championship and the moment that decides who takes home the most prestigious title in American motocross. Jorge Prado leads the standings heading into the last gate drop of the year but with triple points on the table in Missouri nothing is decided until the checkered flag flies for the very last time in 2026.
450 Class Moto 2 — SMX World Championship Final
Prado needs a third place finish or better to clinch the 2026 SMX World Championship — but Hunter Lawrence, Haiden Deegan, and Ken Roczen are not going to hand it to him. Lawrence, who dominated the outdoor season all summer long and nearly clinched the AMA Pro Motocross title by a single point over his brother Jett at Ironman, arrives at Moto 2 knowing that a moto win combined with a Prado disaster could flip the entire championship. Deegan won Columbus and has been one of the most consistent riders across all three Playoff rounds. Roczen, who opened Carson with a moto victory, brings the kind of veteran championship experience that is worth everything in a finale situation.
The Thunder Ridge Natural amphitheater in the Ozarks of Missouri is the most spectacular backdrop the SMX World Championship has ever seen — and the 450 class gave it a Moto 2 worthy of the occasion. Watch the full final moto of the 2026 season in the video above and see how the SMX World Championship was decided at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena.
The End of the 2026 Racing Year
Seventeen rounds of Monster Energy Supercross, eleven rounds of AMA Pro Motocross, and three rounds of the SMX World Championship Playoffs — the 2026 racing season was one for the ages. From the opening round at Anaheim all the way to the Thunder Ridge finale the year delivered drama, championship battles, and moments that will be talked about for years to come. The 450 class in 2026 gave fans a season they will never forget — and Moto 2 at Thunder Ridge was the perfect final chapter.
