Given those interesting stats on Forkner and Jett that kinda makes this season that much more important. Who can get the best of the other. They may not even know their stats are that close.

Realistically Jett wins this, but I don't think it will be all out domination. Forkner and McAdoo last year were pretty much equal until Forkner got injured, so I expect them to battle with Jett for race wins, with Jett ultimately coming out on top. I'm really excited tho to see where Kitchen stacks up, he sure looked fast last year.
Oh yes ‘you’ do.
suzuki. Nuff said.

lol...I made a joke once about it ....good thing i did not do it over and over and over again
J Lawrence should win the West again. It won’t be as easy this year unless Forkner gets cross jumped into an injury again. The East will be much closer.
Jett's championship to lose. Better Shimoda, Thrasher (Fan of this kid, I have a lot of hope for him) and Kitchen in my opinion. Also probably a solid and studying Vialle.
Only way Jett doesn't get it done is if he gets injured. Even if Forkner can keep it together he won't be faster than Jett in enough races, 2-3 wins wont do it.
I'm interested to see what Pierce Brown does. This is it for him, he needs to deliver or in worst case scenario he will be off to a non-factory team in 2024.
Brown was looking good last season, I could see him being a podium threat most weeks if he can hold it together.
Pierce Brown signed a contract extension through 2024.
That said, I agree that he needs to start getting things done.
I didn’t mean you personally.
I said ‘you’ as you’d said “we probably hate your brand”
Oh i thought his deal was up this season, well that is good for him then!
Hoping Forkner stays healthy, kicks ass, and wins the championship. Also hoping to see RJ lay some wood.
Updated entry list has kitchen and Robertson as the star riders.
Romano or thrasher are not listed yet as some have said they might be west.
This would have been a more useful poll for who is the biggest challenger to Jett, though you can infer it is Forkner. There are enough threads on Jett as the second coming of RC.
I don't hate Jett, but I do hate all the hype over him. I really hope Forkner wins the championship.
Comparing Jett to RC is foolish.
Why? The comparison is clearly Jett at 19 vs RC at the same age
Pit Row
Genuine question.
What age did guys like rc, stew, RV and dungey win their 1st and 2nd 450 championships?
We can compare 250s and stuff. Jetts slightly behind rc, and rv but stew is number 1.
But 450s rc is the goat and James is a long way off. Once jett gets to the 450 class will be a true indication of where he stacks up.
Yea. This was from ML post a couple of weeks ago
This is a completely embarrassing take…
I just wanna see Forky go for the revenge/ kill shot on the golden boy. RAM IT has a shot to get in there and get a lil sketchy as well, but I think he’s ultimately gonna end up 3rd. Forky for the title.
Ok. Let’s compare. Jett’s first 3 seasons in SX, he has finished 10th, 3rd, and 1st. RC finished third in his rookie season winning 4 races compared to 0 wins for Jett. The next year he won every single race to win the championship including the Vegas shootout that wasn’t a points race back then before moving up to the premier class in only his third year pro. Jett won 2 races in SX his second season as well as the East/West shootout. Now let’s compare MX which is clearly Jett’s strong suit. In his rookie year, he won a single race to finish 4th in points. RC on the other hand won 8 races and went on to win the championship. In each of their second years outdoors, both won the championship. Jett by 9 points over Justin Cooper and RC by 48 over John Dowd. Jett with 4 wins, RC with 8. Both again won in their third year with 9 wins each.
In just two years, RC won 12 Supercross races compared to Jett’s 7 in three years. In three years of MX, RC won 25 races compared to Jett’s 14.
Jett is an amazing rider, but he’ll never be RC.
Good call 👍
I like the whole Lawrence deal, good family and impressive work ethic, but it is too easy for people to get caught up in the hype and stuff and forget who and what came before them.
Specifically looking at 250 West now, I would agree with other folks that it is probably Jett's to loose.
Aussie Wilson tood is 250 West.
Should be around top 10.
Hopefully get some solid results n can get a deal for mx, as he was regular top ten in mxgp mx2
And there you have it folks.
im not sure it’s that people forget, more that they are younger and don’t appreciate what has gone before them.
I'd be very surprised if Todd is top 10. Supercross isn't his strong suit
Truth hurts.
Um.
LOL!
