2019 Hangtown Motocross | Entry List & Injury Report

2019 HANGTOWN MOTOCROSS | COMPLETE COVERAGE

After a short break and some last-minute testing, the sport’s attention has turned towards the 2019 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. The twelve round outdoor series starts this weekend with the 2019 Hangtown Motocross, which will again run at Prairie City OHV in Rancho Cordova, California. Although the Supercross and motocross are separate disciplines of off-road motorcycle racing, there is still an influence from one to the other and what happened during the final rounds of the Monster Energy Supercross season will have an impact on the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.

MX Sports, the officiating body for the twelve-round series, has released the pre-entry lists for the 250 and 450 classes at the Hangtown round. We’ve listed both below, plus news for some riders and updates on notable riders that are missing from the competition.
