Is it me or does it seem like riders will bow out for the smallest thing now? One week in and he’s gonna sit out cause he doesn’t feel 100%???? 
What happened to the riders that would race the whole season with broken wrists or be back 1 week after a collar bone plate? 

sport is getting soft along with the rest of the world. 

Your dumb, a concussion is nothing to mess with

I smell something cooking in the Honda PR machine. 

No doubt he's hurt currently, but the throwing the mono virus in as an added kicker gives him a chance to sit out the rest of the summer before he goes Orange and everyone saves face.  Anyone else think that maybe Chase has had enough of the sudden smack down crashes from that bike?

You can’t blame people for being ignorant of the consequences of traumatic brain injury, it’s barely been mentioned for the last 15-20 years, unless you were reading the news or watching tv.

If everyone gets healthy over the summer the 2024 SX 450 gate will be talent stacked at A1.

And likely missing half the A1 starters at Round 2 if past trends continue.

Can we combine the 250s into the 450s?  At least that would provide some racing.  Ha

Stagger start.

Turn the 250s loose and 1 minute later drop the 450 gate... and have them run the track backwards from the 250s.

Instant exciting season.

A traumatic brain injury and a "concussion" are two entirely different things.

The concussion thing is getting a bit exaggerated these days. Either Chase has a seriously debilitating concussion, or mono. The coincidence of having both at the same time is a bit suspect. I think they're leaning on "concussion" because it is perceived as being more serious and a better excuse to sit out a race.

Ever been so weak you couldn't turn the handle on the shower faucet?

Mono can do that to you.

If you get a bad case, you won't feel like getting out of bed for a long time, much less racing... at a national championship level.

Yeah, sounds like "soft" to me.

Never been sicker then when I had mono. Got it my freshman year of college and I was absolutely floored for a solid two weeks.

Concussions are typically also called TBI you might want to look it up definitely not something to mess with they still know very little about the head!

People go to the doctor for some sort of trauma and find out about some other condition that hasn’t been presenting symptoms or they have just been ignoring all the time. Doesn’t have to be some grand conspiracy.

The people making the comments about being soft for sitting with a concussion are incapable of understanding because for them repeated blows to the head would be inconsequential, so they can't relate.

Im sure he has a concussion but the mono diagnosis seems suspect. So what are the chances that sexton is happy with the sx title and honda is ok with just letting jett fly the flag in 450s? Sexton is in the smx races and  the odds on favorite for the smx title.

Can't wait for Jett to not have a crash next year in SX while dominating the 450 field to put a rest that nonsense.

After hearing Jett say Chase rung his bell and judging how slow Chase was to get up after his Pala crash, I almost made a post about how head injuries might determine the 2023 outdoor championship. 

Giving head injuries impact ability to focus. My hypothesis was the number of head hits Chase seems to be racking up since joining the 450 class may contribute to Chase making costly errors.

Never would I have guess he would be out like this so soon. During a practice crash. Damn.

Man vital pulled a vital, this thread is going down the tubes. 

Here is to hoping Chase just had a false positive and doesn’t have mono/EBV. Also, not to be forgotten in all of this is the concussion and taking the proper time off.

Aside from being extremely fortunate with Eli’s freak injury,

 

its always something with sexton. He’s shown a lot of speed the last year and a half but honestly he’s kinda shown that he just not the guy

Damn...  It was already shaping up as just a 2 man battle.  That makes it tough to imagine anyone else being in the hunt.  Unless Jett has a significant issue as well.

At least the 250's are going to be fun all year.

I just remember when champion caliber riders wouldn’t have said shit if they had an injury during the week. They were in it to win it. Chase hits the ground so much and then just rides back to the truck. 


 

was it last year Tomac tweaked his knee in Atlanta and finished the year out for the championship before admitting it? That is what I’m talking about. 

And for the other comments, my name is in my profile, not hiding anywhere.
