when a rider is successful or has drama they get coverage, I am not sure what you expect the media to do, totally ignore him (or both)? or any other rider for that matter

All I see here is people not wanting Lawrence brothers (both or one of them) and/or Honda getting coverage because their favorite rider/brand is not.

At least, defend 250 and ride 450 on the other coast. Another year of dominating isn’t going to help his trajectory. Love watching Hunter ride, this year he has been incredible. Really hope it translates to outdoors. 

Im not sure Honda care about his career trajectory. They've got Jett in 450s now and is a likely winner in both MX & SX for the near future. What they need to ensure is they've got the 250 championships covered too.

Not at all the case for me (rider/brand).      I have no problem with coverage... it's the constant overbearing barrage that has gotten ridiculous. 

Following Hunter down the tunnel in a half screen while the 250 main is going on was the latest insult to fans of this sport.    Some dude running down the tunnel instead of showing other battles on the track.

IMO having 2 brothers that are being successful at the same time is very unique and deserves to be shared.

The exposure is aimed at the casual fans, not us die-hards. We are collateral damage.

Anyway I like Hunter, Jett not as much.

I saw the logic in keeping Jett down for SX so he could defend, but Hunter is way more mature (As a person and on the bike) and his style would fit a 450 really well. Plus he will be 25 years old next year. It's not likes he's 18. Move him up.

Hunter will get eaten up in the 450s. Hes gonna be upset getting outside the top 5 every moto he's gonna have a melt down.

I don’t know, man.

  If they played the footage of him running from the booth all the way down to the floor at 1/2 speed,  with the theme song from the young and the restless playing, I think that would be pretty fun to watch!

I listen to a few different aussie sport podcasts, I don't think they even know what dirtbikes are!! Would be nice for them to just acknowledge the boys efforts!!

I think he’ll stay down, for the money and because HRC will want another championship. 
however I think it’s stupid, if you win that easily you can only go downhill if you try it again, move up and race with the men! Make room for more rookies, I think Jett should’ve gone up this year, but look at how much money and success him and Honda have made/had this year, I can’t see it happening.

The plan from the start of the season. Was win championships. And go 450s in mx 2024.

But that plan involved hunter winning 3-4 sx races and the championships.

Coz he has been so dominant that plan is getting fast tracked to 450s for sx. He is almost 24.

Basically the same.   I don't follow any social media of any of these riders (or anything in fact).   He seems like a good, well-rounded kid based on what I have seen in race interviews.      The exposure is high on him too....but not as bad as the Lorrance brothers....yet.    Oh....I hate the name "Dangerboy".  It's time for him to drop that. 

The point is....we're receiving too much coverage of these guys that supercedes the racing and other riders.    These 3 kids are not the only riders on the track.

I laughed outloud at this.     My song pick would be "Chariots of Fire".
