Facts!
I'm a huge Webb fan. I'll eat my hat if Webb titles, that doesn't include if Jett gets injured. If Webb were to win due to a Jett injury, I'd call it the same as I call Sextons SX title: A great big gift. Read: *.
Jett is going to cruise to another cake title with no real competition.
If he has mono/ebv it will be multiple rounds.
Also to the bufoons discounting a concussion I hope that you can educate yourselves on the severity of a simple “concussion” and the possible affects of ignoring/discounting it. First hand knowledge of it here. My brother had his skull purposely cut open for a few days to allow room for swelling to eliminate brain damage. Back to back concussions a week apart, first being missed diagnosed second being a simple hit to the head. Thanks for modern medicine/concussion protocols that Chase is being force to sit out. It sucks but we have to be bigger than wanting to see a “race” over Chase’s health. Don’t be so selfish and/or childish.

Back to the mono finding, means he could’ve been struggling with it at the end of SX, where he finished strong. Kudos to him for his determination. The concussion is a bummer but you gotta think about your full life and listen to the experts.
It blows my mind that people still do not understand the seriousness of concussions. I know people who have to take meds to avoid seizures , I myself notice my short term memory being an issue after having around 7. And A friend of mine died from a hit to the head. It was a very sad deal. His 3 year old was watching him ride for the first time. And for a while after that the kid thought that anybody who rode a dirtbike was going to go away forever like his dad did. One big hit can be all it takes. And when You already have a concussion you are more vulnerable to getting another or worse. Its a bruise on Your brain. bruises are broken blood vessels. Having internal bleeding on Your brain would be one of the worst things that can happen to you.
Racing with a broken bone , You have many options for fixing it before you get to a worst case ,and amputation. With concussions You risk so much more. Dr.s bolt bones together all the time. There is no way to fix a brain other than resting and it healing. As far as I know. Ian Trettel had 1 bad concussion ( as far as I know) that ended his racing and almost more . He had to relearn how to do just about everything. As much as it sucks that he is sitting out one or who knows how many races, He will be able to be back and 100% again.
Its only been 1 race at a track that Jett rides very well. And Dylan is not gelling with his bike. Maybe Dylan can return to his 2021 form and give Jett something. Bummer for sure about Chase. I was really hoping that this post was not what it is. I was hoping it was some bad pun or play on words . Glad he is taking the time to make sure he is healthy. How long until people start to say it was Honda benching him so that he did not take the title from Honda to KTM ?? Or maybe people are already saying that.
That guy just showed up on my YouTube feed, talk about a drama queen.
This is a big blow for the series. There is a very real chance with him leaving Honda that we don't see him again this summer, especially factoring in mononucleosis as stated in the team PR.
This is exactly why Webb got himself on the gate for round 1, he knows he will improve and anything can happen. Don't forget his 2016 250 title was started with a scaphoid that was still healing, he was pretty average then J-Mart got mono and Joey went Joey and Webb won that title rather easily in the end. If Dylan struggles and Jett has any injury issue then Coop and AP are both right there to take this title.

Hey Chase, Vital has some life advice for you ;
This thread reads like there are a lot of posters on this board who don't know much about concussions and the potential long-term negative effects!
Chases' head hit the ground hard twice (2x) in less than a week and it would be insanity for him to risk hitting it again a 3rd time. There really is no debate on Chase sitting out . . . it's mandatory
Anybody who has had epstein barr virus knows how debilitating it can be.
I call BS on this. Smart move on Chase’s part though. Really no upside to racing the nationals for Chase. I’m sure he’s worn out from the SX series, this gives him time to recover and get ready for the move to KTM and next year.
If true though, what’s this say about Jett’s win if Chase was slightly concussed and had mono and still only finished 1 second behind at the finish!!! How the hell do you run a 35 minute moto at the highest level and only 1 second separates you from winning the OA if you got mono!?
Like I said, smart move on Chase’s part, he wins either way.
I am not a Webb fan, but he was the first rider I thought of
A lot of this going around this year...
J-mart needs to move up now. Like today now.
So there is not 1 450 rider who has raced every round this year. I wonder how many times that has happened. Paging mr. Fowler
You ar comparing a knee injury to a concussion. I can see medical school is not in your future.
Concussion and EBV? I don't see Sexton back before the break. He could be over 150 points down by then.
Did you really just say Concussion and TBI are not related, that they are two separate things?? What an abortion of a comment……you can’t be this dumb, can you??
Pit Row
Are you racing Hangtown? You could be there showing them all how hard you are.
You my friend are a prime example of why concussions need to be taken seriously.
I have never seen you comment with a good take.
It's been the rule since at least 2012.
"Really no upside to racing the nationals for Chase."
If winning a championship isn't an upside, then why is he even racing?
Chase seems like he wants to win so badly , it is not a surprise that he would have Mono. He is probable out training harder and working harder than most of the other guys. I have not really been a fan of his. But seeing how determined he seems to be is growing on me and I am becoming a fan of his. Chase is one of the last guys I would question about sitting out due to an injury. He has taken a lot of hard crashes. If he's not racing You can bet nobody else would be with whatever he has going on.
It will still be exciting to watch Jett even if he ends up winning easy. There will be others racing for podiums. It kinda opens up the podium a bit. With Chase and Jett so far out front it might have been those guys top 2 every race. With Dylan 3rd often But now there might just be some guys stepping it up a little to fight for that spot on the podium. So the positive thinker in me , thinks that could make for some good battles for 2nd and 3rd . And I'm sure Jett will have some bad starts, or bad motos here and there. He is improving at such a rapid rate though. So fun to watch. I wish that Eli and chase had been able to be there racing with him. Hope Eli comes back for '24 and is motivated to be at the top again. I'm still excited for the season and how everything works out.
Because he’s not greedy, and probably realizes his body and head needing to heal and recover far outweigh an outdoor championship for the long term.
I'm confused. What were you calling BS on?
He didn’t look like he was struggling at all at the end of SX….but….he said he wasn’t feeling right even waking up at Fox. Early signs of mono maybe? So…..you are contagious for as long as 3 months having mono. Pretty sure he has been dating his gf for longer than 3 months… sssooooooo…..who brought mono in to the relationship? Someone been havin too much fun. If the gf cost him an outdoor title it would be pretty hard to overlook when your whole life has been dedicated to that…. Just sayin….
Another vital incel, girls bad🤦♂️
Yes, yes he can
Didn’t say that. Girls not bad…but gf with mono is. I was half joking? There are other ways to catch mono but people’s habits since Covid have made sharing eating utensils or drinks less common ways of swapping bodily fluids. The most likely way of contracting mono is probably kissing or…..
Is there a non defamatory photo of Chase's chick?
