Jett is going to have a lot of people arguing about how good he is for a bloody long time because of how he does it.

His pace is exceptional but he’s also so patient. If he forced everything all the time like Bubba or Rc did people would think he is more mercurial, but his patience and race craft is what is going to etch his name in the books.
Summer of 2020 he kept getting bad starts but would consistently work his way from 15th up to 4th or 6th. This was after he had some big crashes in his debut SX season. He learned so much about being patient that summer and has never looked back. Remember in SX when he crashed mega-hard two races in a row and slammed his head the second time? I thought for sure Honda would hold him out but he decided to come back to race the LCQ and main event. I was damn nervous for the kid that night.

Jett and Jago were shocking. I knew Jett would look good, but he rode like a seasoned 450 champion. I was impressed. His brother on the other hand…. Oof.

Jago delivered. That kid was flat out hauling in the qualifier on the fresh track, and when conditions were bad, same thing. Jago and Dylan had to have made more passes than the entire field combined.

What a showing. So many great rides today. This race always brings out the racer in some guys.

Special shout out to Hardy!!

Just because you're impressed by Jett doesn't mean you're not impressed by Geerts.

Geerts is also 2.5 years older than Jett and Geerts doesn't have three championships. In fact he doesn't have one.

Can’t deny the talent of both Lawrence’s but maybe they both need to swallow some humble pie - to say in an interview that they will be Team Australia for years to come is completely disrespectful to those riders who can quite capably perform exceptionally well for Team Australia. The riders we have here in Australia and overseas currently are world class. It’s a team which is “selected” each year!!

Maybe they change their plans. It's gonna be weird if he still races 250 sx (which is a weird thing to say about a 19 year old), teams will try to put their top riders on the the opposite coast and the coast Jett is on won't be as exciting.
On the other hand.. racing 250 means he will have a lot more time to prepare for outdoors, which could be a bad omen for any other rider. If he keeps racing 250 sx next year, I do hope they put him on the 450 for some races at least.

As good as he is I still think what is the rush? Another year is another year of building conditioning, race craft, strength, confidence and given his age and the family situation I also think about banking the bonuses etc, what is the need?

People need to pump the brakes a little. Jett is fantastic, but this was 1 race in semi-muddy conditions with a LOT on the line. Chase was riding smart while Jett knew he had to hang it out as they were behind in points, when Chase likely knew he just needed to be smart and avoid mistakes to get a top 2 overall. Jett's going to be great and he's going to be a challenger in the championship runs next year but DF14 and CS23 will most definitely have something to say about it all.

I really like Jett and think he is fantastic for the sport, but anointing anything on him at this point is way premature.

You can pump the brakes all you want. He's the darling of the media, has 2 championships, is doing himself, his family, his team and country proud. He has speed, style, goofiness, and makes a stack of mistakes in between crazy fast rides. He places family high in his focus and apparently is the most annoying person on the planet.

The world loves what the Lawrence family has bought to motocross racing. Pumping brakes ain't gonna change any of that.

Yeah I also think going 250 for sx one more year isn't a bad thing. There is pros and cons for both ways and in the and Jett and the people behind him will know what's the best for him. Whatever the descision is, I'm already sweaty when I think about Chase, Jett and Ferrandis in outdoors next year, that will be fun!

The old saying, anything before the but is bs.
Everyone rode the same track. Nobody would expect Jett to come out on a 450 and dominate the big boys. But to not recognize he's upped the performance level from where we were as a sport is crazy. He's at the beginning of his career and didn't just run competitive with the world's best. He let them know he's coming for them. Some kids are just that much better. He's one of them.

That boy shits more talent than most riders will ever have. He's got sx and mx titles and an HRC factory Honda ride with big big big ass paychecks, He has charisma galore, the girls think he's super pretty, and he's only 19 years old. If I could have any life I wanted, it would pretty much be that. Holy shit.

450 supercross is no joke. I feel like Jett hasn’t completely mastered supercross like he has the outdoors now, so one more year in 250sx might not hurt. Although an argument could be made. Outdoors, there’s no question it’s 450 time.

Rather have the Lawrence’s saying they are going to represent their country for years to come, rather than riders saying “no thanks, the race is in Europe and I have Sx or one off Monster event to prep for”.

LOL unless they get injured or bored who else ya gonna pick....if you want the best chance to win? Facts are facts, hes just getting started. Like I said in another thread, they both pretty much have a standing invite for the next 10 years + to take an end of year working vaca to where ever Gussepe brings the MXdN. I see your point tho if I was AU I'd be pissed too. I didn't hear them say that tho, that is kinda cocky. I just always hear Jett give his comp props, bugs the shit out of me how humble he is. Thats why I don't like him - cause he doesn't give me a reason to

i feel as soon as you pick someone who matches either of their speed will be the year you guys bring the Chamberlin Trophy down under. Probably sooner rather than later.

100% or we can pump the brakes back into the Dungey Canard era of the most boring bland interviews and everything is about God bla bla bla boring. Jett has opened the door for riders to show you their true personalities. Shimoda having I ❤️ USA or whatever it was on his chest at Redbud national is prime example and I don't think he would be doing stuff like that if Jett hadn't broken down that barrier. As impressive as what he does on the track, it's what he's doing off the track that will be the biggest mark he leaves on the sport.

PS I still love Dungey and Canard for their ability and what they accomplished just hated their interviews etc

Injuries could always play a factor but i think the guys like Sexton, AC, Ferrandis has to make it count in 2023 and 24 because Jett is coming. And once he is up to speed, there wont be many chances for the other riders to win any 450 titles the next 5-7 years unless Jett gets hurt a lot.

Geerts is also 2.5 years older than Jett and Geerts doesn't have three championships. In fact he doesn't have one.
I think the biggest difference between the performance of Jett and others like geerts and renaux.
Jett was able to come from behind and pass into the lead.

The way it reads looks could look cocky but the way it was said was more of a 'we're not too disappointed as the Aus team is only gonna get better from here' (Implication being because they are young and keen to go every year)

As bad as I want to see him on the 450, I agree that another 250 SX season is the right thing. 450 supercross is brutal and the whole season is long. I just hope Honda let’s him try out the 450 in some races on the opposite coast.

Still a long way to go in his career, but at this early stage he looks to have the patience and race craft of the likes of Dungey and Webb, but the outright pace of most of the greats.

Who knows what the history books will one day tell, but at this early stage, there is a lot to look forward to.

Thought he would do well in his first 450 race, but not this good.

If you're going to shit on the era Dungey was in make sure you don't leave out RV next time. He was the worst of any of them with his "I hate being here" interview style. RV rules, by the way. Saw him in the paddock on Sat and he was very cool

Redbud 2020. Thats 74 races counting both mx and sx and this mxon.
In 2020 Ferrandis passed Jett 4 times and jmart 2 times.
Since then hasn't had an official pass made on him.
In the qualifying race he started infront of sexton but sexton had got passed by about the 4th corner. But generally the statistics only count passes made after lap 11.
Then there is 3 races Jett has crashed and been passed and not got the spot back. 22 unidilla, 21 Southwick, 21 millville
