Jett is starting to look Villopoto miserable while winning. 450s do change riders.

Not satisfied with his performance, nothing wrong with that. No-one masters anything without being hyper-critical of themselves.

I’m happy for Suzuki to show they can run up front - but the age of kickstarters has passed.

Well at least we have a better picture of the pace now. Tomac and Sexton would be right there if here.

They would be winning

I don't see why they wouldn't be able to run with him, Sexton gave him a good run with a banged up head. But it's not Jett's fault that they're out and injured currently, so I don't see the point of seeing that statement here multiple times per race day. There is no asterisk just because the racing isn't as exciting for us.

Man, it’s almost like the factory riders that are left are just there for the paychecks. Never seen factory riders this far off the pace.

The dinosaur handles well and can even run up front... 

 

But by God, don't stall it.  That moto tells the story.

I think that those to would be setting the pace right now. Jett looked like he knows that on the podium. Kenny comes off the couch and hangs with him for the whole moto.

Jett doesn’t look like he’s having fun. I guess more winning = more pressure.

Great race, excellent effort by Kenny, awesome job by Marchbanks, props to Jettson for keeping his head, good times 🙂

How long is the half time gap, gentlemen? Thanks and enjoy the rest of the racing 👍

WTF can't Suzuki squeeze a few dollas for a starter motor and a battery...Kakakakakikikick and there goes all his energy for the 2nd motor. A damn shame.

I’m starting to get more excited about the SMX Finals in the hope that everyone will be back/fully healthy.

I don’t believe in asterisks. I just mean it’s been hard to judge Jett’s true pace because no one’s challenged him until now, except for Sexton in one moto.

I really never noticed how big Jett is! He’s a big kid at 19. Wonder if he’s done growing? I know, a observation I just had.

Many people in different sports get bigger when they more to US. Maybe different water.

How hard do you think it would be for HEP to literally do just that? Is there anything in the rules against altering the starter?

I don’t think so, I have no doubt Jett could reciprocate that dusting at certain tracks.

Very easy to do but I think it will need to pass homologation, meaning Suzuki would need to roll out a whole bunch of them.

Literally took an ad on the site for me to remember we’re missing Mookie and Craig too.

Never been a big fan of high point but the track has allowed for some great racing the past couple years.
