Lucas Coenen Sweeps Dutch Qualification at The Wick 338

Coenen Twins Dominate Qualification

Lucas Coenen posted a blistering 1:53.903 to join his brother Sacha at the top of the leaderboards, securing a Dutch sweep in qualification at The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts. The twins are making their debut at Thunder Valley, where Lucas previously finished second to Jett Lawrence in the motos. Their rapid times validate earlier speculation that the sandy conditions would play to their strengths.

Having missed the top‑two spot for over a year, the Lawrence brothers finally break that drought. Their last joint absence from the top duo occurred at Thunder Valley last year, making this a notable turning point in the season. The Coenens’ strong showing marks a bright start for the Dutch duo in SMX Round 23.

Prado’s Second‑Session Surge

Jorge Prado claimed the second‑fastest overall time of 1:55.139 but shone in the second qualifying session when track conditions mirrored those expected in the afternoon heat. Prado came close to his first moto and overall win last week at RedBud, narrowly missing the checkered flag by just a few laps. His consistency across both runs highlights his competitive edge heading into the main event.

The RedBud near‑miss underscores Prado’s growing momentum. After a competitive battle at RedBud, he returns to the top half of the standings with a strong qualifying performance. This resurgence signals that Prado is a key rider to watch in the upcoming races.

Lawrence Brothers Split Top‑Four

Jett Lawrence placed third with a 1:55.276 time as he continues testing a new foot peg designed to reduce the frustration he felt at RedBud. His younger brother Hunter followed closely in fourth, recording a 1:55.376—exactly one‑tenth of a second slower than Jett. Both brothers carry the momentum of two consecutive overall victories, giving them confidence on race day.

The new foot peg trial could be a game‑changer for Jett’s handling in sandy conditions. If the adjustment yields smoother rides, he may challenge for top honors in the main races. Hunter’s consistent pace and recent wins keep the Lawrence name prominent in the championship picture.

Other Standout Times

Haiden Deegan improved his speed in the second session, posting 1:56.804 and securing fifth place overall in both runs. Dutch rider Roan Van De Moosdijk also impressed, turning in a 1:57.053 to claim sixth on the chart. Deegan’s upward trend and Van De Moosdijk’s solid performance add depth to the competitive field.

These mid‑pack times illustrate the tight competition at The Wick 338. With only a few hundredths separating riders, every fraction of a second matters. The depth of talent from the midfield could shake up the starting lineup for the main races.
