How do you get exposed by one of the most talented riders to ever swing a leg over a dirt bike? Kenny not only is one of the best as far as talent, but I can't think of a single better sprinter than him. One of the big knocks against Kenny is he can be caught from behind, but his opening laps are and have always been next level. He's the type that could do a Dungey retirement and come out and lead laps right away.
What exactly did you think he did, didn't, should of, would of, gotten exposed? Jett rode just fast enough to win. The only thing Jett showed everyone was that he could ride faster than KR on that day. He doesn't ride faster than he needs to. So the question is just stupid. You still have no idea from that race if he could keep up with ET in beast mode. Why, because he only rides what he needs to for the specific race. All KR showed was that he was not enough of a challenge on that day, and I'm a huge KR fan.
All I’m saying is, Jett crashed 4 times in practice, did not have the fastest time in practice, did not have the fastest lap in the 2nd moto, crashed hard in the first moto, got passed straight up. None of this has happened in the first 3 rounds, Jett has been perfect. What Jett did at high point to go 1-1, countless other riders have done before. So, did KR affect that, or did Jett just have an off day. Maybe I’ve just been spoiled by the eyeball test of watching all the greats race in person especially MC RC and JS and Jett hasn’t done anything next level to me yet.

No, Kenny didn't affect shit. Sometimes people crash, especially in those shitty conditions. Kenny was there and didn't change the results. So Jett did what Jett does, he rode only as fast as he needed to win, twice. You're very short sighted if you only address what your eyeballs see.
Kenny exposed just what I thought. Jett has been pacing everyone, including Chase all year and has multiple levels left above where he is riding.
I think you can tell by all my replies, my answer is yes. Sorry
So Kenny gave him a kickstart to get to the next level ?
I'm sorry I had to lol carry on hahaha
Jett is just that good period end of story. If Tomac and Sexton were out there repeating their speed of last year then it would be a real challenge for Jett but without those two Jett has no comp. Get used to it.
I think Roczens ride actually exposed the weakness of what's left of the factory riders going right now. I think Tomac, Sexton and Jet would be mixing it up right now and the gap to 4th would be the same.
Pala: Jett was lucky the injured Chase didn't run him down. If Chase would have been at full speed things would have been different.
Hangtown: Depleted field and barely won.
Thunder Valley: Look at those privateers! Jett's really lucky!
Hi Point: Kenny came off the couch and pressured Jett into crashing. No way the win streak is gonna continue.
Expectation for Red Bud: Chase is going to be back and put Jett back where he belongs with the rookies.
Excuse in back pocket for Jett winning Red Bud: Chase wasn't ready, Dylan's Yamaha handles bad, Webb something something
These 1:1s have to be flukes, no way it could be talent, preparation, and race management alone.. / sarcasm
LOL. You mean the scoreboard with 6 top guys not racing? Yeah okay. Here's a fun fact for you; Jett has never won more than 5 motos in a row. And that was last year in 250's. He's beating who's there, yes. But only Ferrandis is a Title contender They're all still healing from injuries. Stop talking like Jett would have the same results if you bring back #23,3,51,21,27,28. He's not THAT good. He could barely make it thru half his SX races without being on the ground. He's got the opportunity of "perfect timing" on his side right now. Very fortunate timing to move up to 450's for outdoors, and then EVERYONE that can arguably beat him, gets hurt. He better enjoy it now, gonna be a rude awakening when all the 30 year olds come back.
Wipe the froth from the corners of your mouth son.
Fact is Jett has risen to every racing challenge put before him.
No
You know...I agree with nrosso391 for the most part, but the fact remains that the 450 class is what it is this year and Jett has been successful at beating some pretty damned good riders even if the top-5 aren't there. He's good...better than the rest of the existing field anyway, and he'll have a pretty nice points cushion when Sexton comes back on the scene. I believe Chase will give him a good charge, but who knows if he'll have to work through any lingering issues before he's at his personal best. Personally, I think it'll be a Lawrence, Sexton, Plessinger battle for the rest of the season.
Summer of 2023: Motocross history is divided in two halves, before Jett and after...
No worries, he can buy them AARP cards with his bonus check. But in all seriousness, we are seeing a changing of the guard.
Agreed Chase should, if fully fit, give Jett some close competition.
But Plessinger? Apart from one moto at Hangtown he’s been anywhere up to 1:30 behind Jett. He’d need a serious change to be a genuine challenger.
Pit Row
Realistically Chase is going to be the only one of that lot as a long term contender.
Eli obviously has the track record but he’ll be 31 if he lines up at A1 and coming off an Achilles tear.
The rest are all 30 and at the back end of their careers. Between them all in the last three years they’ve got a couple of outdoor wins and a handful of podiums.
Ferrandis is 29, even Webb is 27.
Aside from Sexton, Jett’s long term competition isn’t coming from the current 450 ranks.
Be careful admitting to agree with me. The Jett Mob will attack you with everything. Like I said, Yes Jett is the fastest out of who's present, until Kenny gets back in shape. My other big question is: Since when did that HRC 450 get that many holeshots in Motocross? Seriously. Jett has NEVER been a consistent holeshot guy and somehow there he is in the top 1-3 of every holeshot since he got on that 450... Something a little extra in that bike this summer? And no one would dare protest him anyways because he's "the generational talent Lawrence". Something to think about.
We won't know if Chase has anything for Jett until they actually line up. I dig Chase but I have a feeling he's gonna have issues trying to pace the Jett. Can't wait.
How is Kenny out of shape ? Just because he hadn't ridden outdoors much this year he's hardly out of shape.
And you don't think Star Yamaha or Pro Circuit would protest if they thought HRC we're cheating c'mon man that's just ridiculous smh.
That is way off base. His style and confidence fit that 450. His better starts are a reflection of that.
this.. people think the current 450 riders are going to be racing for the next 5 years. Jetts almost 10 years younger than majority of the 450 class accept sexton.
aside from the crazy talent and speed.. Jetts timing into the sport is perfect
Guys guys all he's asking us to do is think objectively and have a civil debate about it..
And by that he means agree with him and talk about how right he is.. That's all
Insane of people to say Kenny is out of shape and that he has to race himself back up to speed. To think he wouldn't come out swinging if he was comfortable? Come on. Dude has embarrassed a lot of people at High Point numerous times too so you know he gels with that track.
You missed the biggest fluke, winning his first 450 race on the world stage at MXdN
You really fail to see that the 250 class is as nuts as it is... everything is a horsepower battle and Honda is not the fastest bike, plus it's not suited well (by comparison to the 450) to his riding style. It's not an easy class. The 450s have so much power you'll run out of talent before you run out of power. Jett has a lot of talent. Comparatively the top 10 in the 250 class are getting every ounce of what that class is worth.
You see the same thing between Moto2 and MotoGP.
Well Gawd Damn, somebody gets it! Lmao
And if you thought objectively, you would see that I’m right! Haha
Well what’d you know, kind of a similar question!
