Hopefully we at least get the jolt of out of form herlings coming over for a round just to give ourselves hope of something interesting happening

Verstappen is definitely on another level right now but I think that motocross is way more impressive in general and it seems like the Red Bull is in a league of it's own currently. But yeah, Jett is something else.

The only comparison available within the past decade was Marc Marquez, with a lot of parallels. Jett’s definitely got the reigns now though.

Honda needs to send Jett to MotoGP to see if he can help out.  The Japanese bikes are getting killed by the Ducati and Aprilla's.

Looks like he might’ve been looking for either O’Mara or Reeds name on the trophy.

Okay, so does Deegan come out and sweep the leg? It ain’t over till it’s over.

On a side note I really like Jett's gear this week, best he's worn.

I’m guessing Brian has told him to…

I am wondering how this is going to change over the next 3-5 years.  Older guys are aging out, and the talent in the 18-25 year old window, save Sexton, is no where even close to this level.

Vital has a picture on their Instagram of Duffe pushing  the bike back to the pits in moto 1. It says that the bike sounded noticeably different the entire moto. Maybe it was just a mechanical failure that couldn’t have been prevented.

Could you imagine if it was a rag in the airbox?

Lol Jett just leaving the trophy outside the rig was funny.

Jimmy needs to get his ass in gear. For Ferrandis to be without a factory seat is ridiculous, at the very least. 

He sure looked good today on that Yamaha he's been complaining about...

Good point. In a vacuum it's so incomparable because regular joes can't just buy a red bull and fling it around on a track day. The only two people that could hang with him are 40 years old and in inferior machinery. Verstappen is very impressive but I agree that for me Jett takes it.

I don't think anyone will beat a healthy Jett in MX no matter what in the next years. Big question mark to me is if he will be the same in SX. I think his brother might be a force to reckon with in SX, so is Sexton, but he will need to figure out his mistakes. I'm really pumped to see Jett against Tomac and Webb in SX next year, that will tell us a lot of what to expect in the next years.

Yep I'm thinking heavy RC parallels. Untouchable in MX and excellent in SX with some great seasons and consistent competition.

There's no lightning so nobody go on the track. Just sit on the starting line with umbrellas.

SX definitely lends itself to bad luck and odd circumstances more than MX does, which increases the likelihood of Jett getting beat and facing adversity, even if he rides as well as he has been this summer. Still, he has a really good chance of winning a ton - I'm just hoping for a relatively healthy field and some good competition.

Extended radar show some serious storms coming. They had better get moving.

Reviews be damned, that Honda might as well have a Cuisinart powering it.
