Wouldn't be surprised to see Ferrandis on a Husky or KTM.

The only serious outdoor guy missing is Tomac. And maybe Kenny

So does Jett cruise from here and conserve energy so if Chase catches him he can lay down fast laps easier than Chase?

Or does he push a bit so the gap stays big and risk a mistake of his own? 

Looks like he’s just going to relax and extend his lead.

He has talked about it previously. 

Pretty sure it's j-coop and Webb on the star 450 for the whole season.

And if tomac chooses to race it will most likely only be 24 sx.

So, with less than 10 minutes left Sexton is no where to be heard from. Jett is about to relax and cruise while Sexton looks to be gaining but what is reality?

Tomac? Do you remember Tomacs first 3-4 years in the 450 class?

I do remember multiple podiums in his first year, 4 wins in his second SX year and we all know his second MX year. Jett is doing much better.

He has where?  It’s been speculated that he might be on the same deal as last year (see ML’s silly season) but he just put that to bed…as 1911 said above…

Good thing we didn't want to see any battles after Jett crossed the line.

I was hoping they would've shown Sexton just so I could see how hard he was pushing early on in the moto.

This is why Motocross sometimes gets a bad rap with fans, most guys can’t ride 95-98% but for only the first couple of laps. After the excitement of the start and the first couple laps, it turns into follow the leader. 
I wonder if they could make some of the races like the triple crown? I don’t know if that would work or not.

I wish I could give this multiple downvotes.  Outdoor motocross doesn't need a gimmick. If it's not keeping your attention, maybe it's not for you

He pretty much said the same thing on pulp show like 1911 also said. That he should have a full time 450 ride and he isn't changing teams.

I seem to remember many guys saying Jett was a choke artist on here. But I think chase is really trying to keep the title. 

Ok sure. Link up the threads where anyone calls Jett a choke artist. I won't hold my breath since they don't exist

Exactly. Chase and Eli were putting 45sec on 3rd last year. Chase and Jett putting 45sec on 3rd this year.

Jett was doing only what he needed to do early on thinking it would be easy, but when Chase caught him clearly Jett was giving it all he had. Their fastest laps between Chase and Jett were nearly identical.  They were +3 seconds a lap faster than the second group of riders battling 3-6 positions.   IF Chase can start in front of Jett and keep it on 2 wheels the whole moto, he will win.

 

Had Meshy (the lapper) actually gotten the fuck out of the way like he was supposed to, we might have been able to see a pass for the lead, or push Jett harder.  I haven't yelled at the TV that loud in a long time.

Did Chase crash the 2nd moto, or just have that bobble at the start?

But Jett's style allows him to run those lap times far more under control.

That was very obvious today.
