It was a very tough track and Jett cruised to two Moto wins. And I mean he literally cruised, I'm sure everyone saw him standing throughout that long rutted corner in Moto 2 looking like he was on a parade lap. If Jett actually had any real challenge for this championship we might have seen him actually push a little. 

He looked like he forgot there was a race going on. Rumor in the paddock is he's installing an HRC cupholder for Budds creek so he can sip a cappuccino while he takes these kids to school.

Jett’s been smoking these former champs like cheap cigars, the title of the thread should be changed to “Who’s Next”

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.

Mate: Barcia, Anderson, Mookie and Craig aren't even in the same ballpark. Its hilarious that you think they would change a single thing

Who is next?

Eli won't be racing Jett outdoors anytime soon, if ever. Chase has been beaten 4 out of 4 and Kenye has just had his arse handed to him.

Maybe the Jett challenge will get Herlings to a late season round?

Maybe if Hunter wraps up the 250's early we get a brodown at Ironman?

Only one thing would change - fewer privateers in the top 10

The HRC cheating angle / implication is an amusing train of thought, which I am absolutely not buying a ticket for.

When you have a gate full of 450's with legit riders, a handful of them on factory bikes, would 'cheating' even result in reliable holeshots anyway?

I just can't see it happening, it's still too rider dependent on a motocross bike, on a motocross track, in a class where plenty of power is readily available legally.

What’s the angle? I’ve not heard anything like that before.

450 class is a dead rubber.

Y'all are talking like you can compare either of RC's perfect seasons to Jett right now. You need to stop. No where near the same competition in the field.

Well, true for 2004 anyway.  I'd say RC's 2002 and James 2008 were not far off from the talent disparity that Jett is working through.

That said, I don't even know what this next level reference means?  Jett's moved up to his next level?  He's a level above his current competitors? Or his talent is on par or eclipses that of the the top five riders in the history of the sport.  Way too early to make judgments for that last one even though he's clearly and elite talent and smart racer (things that do not always go together).

RC reckons we can talk about it.

He openly says Jettson has a higher skill level than him and we'd better get used to records falling.

This is the most brutal of sports and any anything can happen at any time but since we are the morans that ignore that stuff...everyone that has eyes can see that Jett is exceptional.  

Not only skill and racecraft...he has the looks, humor, and smarts that define a "superstar".  (His agent probably just bought a mansion and a yacht).  Donuts were just the beginning.

Some Aussie band needs to write him a hit theme song, ala AC/DC.  

P.S.   Beast mode Tomac or healthy Herlings are the only current riders that I have seen near Jetsons pace.

Go and have a look at the standings from RC’s 02 title and Stew’s 08 and tell us how the competition compares to this year…..

Hunter would get the same treatment on a 450 that he got on a 250 from Jett

Finally some people are waking up! I keep getting attacked by all the Jett fanboys on here when I mention Jett is getting a gift because 5 top guys are out. All it took was a half retired former Champ to come OFF THE COUCH and put down faster laps, chase Jett down and make him crash easily. Then once Roczen gets passed, he passes Jett back. Which, according to the fanboys, "no one can pass Jett back." The results don't show it, but Kenny just put a giant dent in the atmosphere of Jett's "dominance".
