Racing top tip: Racing for position is supposed to be difficult. Do everything you can within the rules to not allow someone to overtake you.

If colt said he’s okay with that then who tf cares what any of us think. They’re the ones racing each other

This ^ He’s not pulling a Barcia and going for the kill or cross jumping people like Vince does. He’s simply riding his line and covering the insides and brake checked him a few times. It was all clean

Does anyone remember Ricky looking back, slowing down and blocking another rider? Kenny? Eli besides the title race vs. Dungey. Villopoto? What about Dungey? JS7? Serious question.

Brake-checking isn’t racing. Anyone who does it to me gets punted at the first available opportunity. Hopefully someone does it to Jett a couple times and teaches him some manners.

Sounds like more racing to me. Can't wait!

Ricky, specifically, had done it NUMEROUS times. In 125s several times, on a 250 against windham, on a 450 against Reed. Are you serious with this question?

Edit: I might have the bikes flipped for the Windham and Reed deals, but it doesn't change that they happened. Full on brake check look back attitude from RC on all occasions.

Jett was messing unnecessarily with a man who is in the championship hunt and he isn’t.
Yeah sure, race the guy, but that looking over whilst braking up is unnecessary.

I've never understood the "someone is in the championship and you're not so don't race them".

Jett was doing nothing more than making sure Colt didn't get underneath him. Zero wrong with that IMO.

‘Racing’ him is absolutely fine, but as previously mentioned in this thread, some of the moves were getting a bit desperate to put the bike anywhere in Colt’s way. All the while slowing his own lap times down too.

If Barcia or Friese pulled these kind of moves, this place would erupt.
This! If anyone but Jett did this, vital would erupt. But since it was the golden boy, he can do what he wants. The kid is super fast and impressive but I didn’t agree with slowing them both down in his ‘attempts’ to keep colt from passing.

It almost ended really bad, for him. Good racing yes but not very inteligent decision. He needs to calm a bit and think more about the big picture.

Do you even know what a brake check is? Describe it? I didn’t see one - did you?

I can't remember, what were everyone's reactions a few races back with the incident between Christian and Jett? Lol Imagine the crying on here if Christian actually looked over his shoulder at Jett while he slid through the corner, instead of it being a real racing incident.

Jett has plenty of ability to just race without all the b.s. involved in lastnight's race.

He is clearly the new golden boy.

Obviously this picture was taken before the vital clown show told Colt what to think.

they were racing, not riding, racing and they are paid to win or maximize their points each race. I didn’t see that as brake checking or intentionally slowing up at all... that was good racing and so did Colt. What was Jett supposed to do just pull over for him?

Some people want racing to be like slot cars. Stay in your lane and no contact.

Pretty sure it’s because 90% of Vital has never raced a day in their life

Didn't RC do it vs Pastrana once? Didn't Eli do it against Wilson in the 250s? Those are just two off the top of my head. I am truly flabbergasted that anyone had a problem with what Jett did last night. Have you all ever watched Webb while he's in the lead? He might as well be driving a schoolbus.

Nothing wrong with Jett last night. I couldn't help to think what would the reaction be if it were Forkner or Craig, for sure they would have cried and throw a tantrum, Colt is just business no drama. Big fan of him.

I may be on the Jett train but I'm not a fan of his takeout of Mosiman and now his messing with Colt. He needs to quit this shit or he's gonna get served.
so he should have moved over and let him pass , like AP did with Webb ?? its for position , Jett and Colt both started at the back and were racing for podium , it was pure racing and as clean as it could be , you're the drama in this

This idea that anyone not in a title fight has to just roll over for anyone who is is one thing you see a lot of, and it is definitely one of the worst takes in our sport
Im not suggesting Jett should've 'rolled over' as you put it, Im simply saying that if you're not in the title hunt and one of the guys who is in the hunt comes up behind you, its bad form if you start riding like Vince Friese.

125 several times? Where and when? Calling BS on this. Ricky didn't slow up and start blocking people.

It might have been fun but there were still guys in front of them that Jett should’ve been more focused on catching in my opinion. The kid is talented, no doubt, but he is still showing his age quite a bit.

Would Jett have been "cool" with it had Colt decided to clean him out after the brake check?

He is riding with an injury and a second or so a lap slower that when fit.

He is one of the worlds most skilful riders presently and is using racecraft to advance his interest.

It is not as if he is cross jumping or ramming.

No it was for second behind DV. You know points are points right? It wasn’t dirty at all. Jett knew he didn’t have the pace, he didn’t wait for colt to pass for a Barcia t-bone. He rode a wide bike.

Until a tough block took him down, Jett wasnt out of the hunt for the chip. Now if its some random lapper in the way then yeah, but he isnt and you are terrible
