After last night......Sexton will need 'ALL" the stars to align to pull the 23 SX title off.

Cannot let yourself get hit by the 'Curse of the GOAT" in the form of JB51 like that.

I don’t think Sexton was ever really in the hunt.

I think you're right, but it sounds crazy to say that when he was the fastest rider at every round!

I’d be just fine if Honda never won another big bike championship. The arrogance  of Honda Corporate in Japan has been nothing short of detrimental to the sport of SX and MX since the mid-late 90’s.

I'm right on board with you RACERX69, I was pretty much resigned to Honda winning ama outdoors in 23 with Chase and Jett. I figured the only one with any shot of beating them was Ferrandis, but when Eli signed up for outdoors, I  was like YES!

The craziest thing is they are letting chase go, he is likely the next champion.. 

"..they are letting Chase go.." Are you sure about that???? Have you inside information? or just believing what you read on Vital?

Sexton has posted the fastest lap times at most races this SX season....

And has led the second most laps, close in points until "The Curse" hit him, unfortunately.

What’s wrong with HRCs chassis department?

Welding some plates to the side of the CRF frame seems desperate. And now they tested a German Kalex frame on their MotoGP bikes. That’s not something a Japanese engineer is accepting lightly.. something gone in the wrong direction that department.

You would think one of the two gets it done outdoors this year correct?

Based on all the annoying Jett hype...yeah. But there's a very fast #1 Yamaha that will have something to say about it.

Tomac is done for the year. He ruptured his Achilles tendon.

It looks like Sexton found the right "Voodoo" woman to xfer the Curse over to Yamaha for this season. Eli had that on cruise control....until ALL the stars aligned for Sexton.

Honda is looking good for the outdoors as well.

In other words, things come out of nowhere and are random, with no rhyme or reason sometimes Cool

To think, that not so long ago... Forkner was so good and totally eclipsing Chase.

What could have been....

Do you dudes work for Twitter, Facebook, MSN or another censorship-loving outlet?

 

I'm NOT a big fan of locking/censoring topics on a discussion forum when said topic is not "out of bounds". If you do not like the topic do not click on it, simple as that.

 

Thank you.
