I feel like Jett was towing Kenny trying to drag him ahead of Chase. From about lap 4-5. It looked quite obvious what he was trying to do and then when he let him by it was like yup he def is playing that points game. Insuring Chase doesn’t get to Kenny. I’m sure weege could tell too, surely they didn’t really think he was having bike problems. ???

Yeah, it wasn’t bike problems he had, his problem was in addition.  That was a classic example of a home schooled motocrosser doing math in his head while on the track.  It took me 10 seconds to figure out a 3-2 beats a 2-3….and that giving away a 1-1 was not a wise maneuver to put more points between him and Chase.  At least Kenny just had a baby and it made Jett look like a nice guy…but Kenny doesn’t seem like someone who is in need of money.  Instead of giving him an extra $25,000+ he should’ve just bought Kenny a stroller.

The points are awarded for the overall finish in SMX.  Not per moto like the outdoors.  Jet still gets the overall and the max points, 1st place money etc. .  His mistake was thinking that Kenny would gain a spot overall ,taking points away from chase.  He was doing the math right on his overall finish, but not on how it would change Kenny and Chases points . 

I'm a fan of both Kenny and Jett, and I thought it was a dick move towards Kenny to play it off the way he did. I don't think that Jet intended it to be taken that way. But I think it might have just fired Kenny up. The good news for fans is that it could make this last round a great battle instead of the normal snooze that finals tend to be.

I figured Honda and Suzuki paid out bonus money per moto.  If that’s not the case, then this just makes Jett look stupid and not nice for giving Roczen extra bonus money.  And if Roczen is angry about it, that makes it more stupid for putting a motivational fire under Roczen’s butt with his words…. something Jett has been so good about not doing….until now.  One of the things I like about Jett is how he always has his competitions back.  He complements them, gives them props and says how well they were riding….right after he smoked em!

Yes…because he is your god.  No way Jett slowing down was not on purpose.  He could never start to get tired or tighten up late in a race on a rough track…. your god could never start to get arm pump….even running MX suspension and bottoming out on some SX style jumps.  Your god could never get held to a pace on a rough track that made him worry that he was pushing a little too hard to be safe and not go down.  Of course your god could never feel pressure to continue to show he is the fastest when another top rider is having a great day.  He allows them to get close to witness his glory.  A god so benevolent and kind that he forfeits wins to new fathers and showers baby gifts on mere mortals.  Of course the only reason he slowed and gracefully let Kenny by is because your god meant to in his great plan.  Other mortals have all those reasons they may slow…but not your god.  He is perfect and could run fast laps for eternity under any and all circumstances and conditions with any bike setup on every MX and SX track ever built, or ever to be built!.  From now until eternity know that if your god slows…it was part of a great plan because he was fast all summer so he could always be fast forever.  He could never try to hide that another rider had him covered that moto with a lame excuse because another rider could never have god covered…and math is hard…even for god.  God can not be passed unless he wills it.  To suggest otherwise is blasphemy.  Be not the blasphemer!  Praise your god!  Can I get an Amen?!!

We don’t even need to race.  Let’s just award your god the next ten years of titles….unless he deems otherwise for the lowly mortals that dare try to race him.

Give me a F'n break, ET was barely beating Chase, and Jett handled him easily for an entire season. Chase is a bad dude, depleted my ass!

The Peacock broadcast caught Jett getting off his bike and talking to his mechanic at the podium staging area.

He tells his mechanic he let him "bye", nothing was wrong with the bike.  The mechanic says he's glad that's what happened, they were confused AF and didn't understand, and Jett confidently said "Lose a position, gain some points.  I'll take that".  

Straight from the horses mouth, he legit thought he was gaining championship points by letting him by.  Just listen to it if you are wondering.

but somehow people can't grasp this ! ! I'm a huge Kenny fan and he was hailing azz for sure......but no way Jett's getting passed by Kenny on Sat night. The kid can ride - his math is SUSPECT lol. 

Remember outdoors peeps........when anyone closed the gap the kid wonder from down under would bite his lip and find a few soul crushing seconds to build the gap.

Jett let Ken past on lap 9.

Laps 5-8 Jett ran 1:52 lap times 3 out 4 and the other was a 1:53.3.

Same laps Kenny only once went under 1:53 when he did a 1:52.9.

Kenny was not catching Jett.

How was Kenny all over him when he let him by? How does that happen if one isn't "catching" someone?

Right you can't lose 2-4seconds in 2 turns and keep the gap the same. The second Ken started taking the main line to make a move 2 laps later jett pulls over. Listen  who knows who that battle would have turned out. Maybe one of them goes down, maybe jett hold on who knows. But Ken was faster this time that was obvious to everyone there that night.

And we as fans were robbed of battle for the lead and a real race

Good thing he is better at riding dirt bikes than he is at math.

I still don't buy it. What was all the business with him looking down at his bike?

Well I certainly am not advocating Jett receive an honorary Master's degree in mathmatics.

Have you actually watched the post race interaction I'm referring to?  I don't see how you could possibly watch that and not "bye" the theory that Jett intentionally let Kenny by, thinking he was pushing his competitors further behind in the SMX standings.  Because...he literally says that immediately following the race not knowing he was near a mic.  And you can hear his mechanic express his relief that it had nothing to do with the bike.

I would like to believe the bad in race math theory and at first it sounded plausible enough..... the problem is it requires you to believe that prior to the race none of this was ever discussed. For Jett to really believe what he claims, he has to also believe he came up with something in race that never crossed his team's mind prior to the race.

The problem is andos hard reality is a lie.

There was no point in the second moto that jett was faster then ken.  Ken was taking 2 lines that were slower and working them in for later in the race. You can even see it in the 2nd lap how Ken and barca were basically getting stopped losing all of their momentum until the line worked in by lap 6-7. Every lap between 2 lines Ken would lose 2-4 seconds and close the gap right back up by the end of the lap. That shows you that Ken is faster dispite what lap times and the gap says. Numbers can be manipulated to say things that in fact never happened. That's what we have going on. There's 4 laps that you don't even see them on TV.  Not to mention a 2 second gap at this track isn't shit. 2 seconds is the difference between taking off of the first roller and jet getting on the brakes for the wall jump. Jett did the smart thing in letting him by. Why risk the battle and let chase either catch up or jett go down and let chase pass him. I'm not a person to play favorites with riders. I think that shits stupid. I like both riders. Ken was faster Ken was building lines to race Jett later on.

“There was no point in the second moto that jett was faster then ken.”

I dunno man, I’m just looking at the lap times.

Chill, he only said Jett wouldn't go perfect against Tomac. But we will never know. And yeah, that depleted field take is ass.

Jett didn't want to look bad being passed straight up by a guy 10 years older than him. I was hoping Roczen would've paused and pointed at Jett then ahead of him on the track to make him keep going.

Hadn't thought of that. Roczen slows down and allow his buddy Chase to catch up as Jett is sleeping after letting Ken by. That would have put the race back in the race.

I'm not sure about the per moto bonuses. Might be like a heat race bonus?  I wasn't thinking about that. But normally those bonuses would be paying more than the race purse prize money so it might have been a bit.  But the championship bonus would most likely be a bunch bigger  and that was what he said he was thinking.  

 It sounded cocky , but in a way , it is kinda refreshing to have a rider say stuff like that when they are thinking it. It is surprising to hear him say and do that ,when like you said he has been good about not firing guys up in the past.  Other than saying he was only riding at 70-80% while winning all the outdoor motos. But he stopped saying that later in the season.  I bet that Jett could go on to be an amazing promotional idea guy after he's done racing. He is great at bringing attention to stuff. If it is all him , might be a mix of family and agents mixed with Jett's personality. 

As cocky as it came off, I think overall Jett is pretty humble for a 19-20 year old kid, who just had a perfect MX season in his rookie year on a 450. I doubt that many, if any people on here would have handled themselves much better at that age , after doing what Jett has been able to do so far. I don't think Kenny is going to cut him any slack, but Fans really should in my opinion.  I'm excited to see next week's race even more . A fired up Kenny with 20 minute motos, and a bunch of money on the line should make for a great race.

First…that is sarcasm…not anger….and it’s more his fans and their blind worship.  If you objectively watch that race from at least 3 minutes left and then read every excuse why Kenny wasn’t faster at the end then it’s sadly humorous.….although Jett trying to take legitimacy from Kenny’s victory by essentially saying it wasn’t rreeaallly a victory…I let you win….was extremely chicken shit.

The Peacock broadcast caught Jett getting off his bike and talking to his mechanic at the podium staging area.

He tells his mechanic he let him "bye", nothing was wrong with the bike.  The mechanic says he's glad that's what happened, they were confused AF and didn't understand, and Jett confidently said "Lose a position, gain some points.  I'll take that".  

Straight from the horses mouth, he legit thought he was gaining championship points by letting him by.  Just listen to it if you are wondering.

2:54:09 on the peacock broadcast.

Honda has to be pumped for him letting Kenny by so he can beat the second Honda in the field

Jets going to make Kenny wish he was great full for receiving that gift at LA.

LA will be a preview of the Jet domination for 24 SX.

The same people that said he won’t win much in 23 even after seeing him at the des Nations will probably need an eye adjustment.

All the Jettboys in here.. You really think its impossible your shining star can be beat straight up? Are you really that naive? Roczen caught him without Jett slowing down and Jett let him by because he didn't want to look like he can be beaten. The kid is smart, and he can play it up to points, or the baby gift BS in the process.

It's insane the number of people who still believe this mythical tale that if someone is close to Jett its only because Jett is allowing it, toying with them, conserving energy, doesn't need to have a comfortable lead, blah blah blah..... some of you won't even allow for the possibility that the other guy is just as fast on that day. Fragile egos just like Jett showed himself to have I guess....

Bingo

And in what world would going 1-2 be better than 1-1?

Oui it'd be better to get 2nd in this one mate. I'll have a better chance of winning in 2nd don't ya think?

😆

In this situation it was unnecessary. But it could be better in some situations.

 

If Kenny had finished 4th Moto 1.

 

Jett goes 1-1, 1st overall

Chase goes 2-3, 2nd overall

Kenny goes 4-2, 3rd overall

 

Jett however letting Kenny past changes this to be

Jett goes 1-2, 1st overall

Kenny goes 4-1, 2nd overall

Chase goes 2-3, 3rd overall

So there are situations where Jetts thinking can change results to his advantage. This just wasn't one of them. Because the higher finish in moto 2 already gave kenny the second overall 
 

Considering he's racing trying to figure it out and some people can't figure it out at the best of times. His mistake isn't really THAT bad. The reasoning and thinking he had was pretty good. But he forgot to take the tie breaker into account.

 

Though he did say he took 2 laps to make certain it didn't effect his finish so that's something.

It’s too bad Herlings is missing this MXdN.  Jett would smoke him, too.

This reminds me of my senior year in high school, when we voted-in the down syndrome kid for Prom King. We were stoked, he was stoked. The world was a better place for one evening.

Well I certainly am not advocating Jett receive an honorary Master's degree in mathmatics.

Have you actually watched the post race interaction I'm referring to?  I don't see how you could possibly watch that and not "bye" the theory that Jett intentionally let Kenny by, thinking he was pushing his competitors further behind in the SMX standings.  Because...he literally says that immediately following the race not knowing he was near a mic.  And you can hear his mechanic express his relief that it had nothing to do with the bike.

I saw a 19 YO kid trying to justify his actions.

Was there a fault with the lap timing transponders?   Ken’s lap times didn’t vary up or down more than 0.5 secs for 9 laps in a row.  In fact the lap where he “caught” Jett was slower than his previous four laps.

Or were you there at the race with the others claiming that the lap times didn’t tell the true story?

I understand but it was a cop out for Jett

The Olympic scoring should just be for the MXoN

Make every moto matter with points being earned for individual moto scores. If you want to add to the excitement, which they are trying with this this whole SMX playoff bs, why not make every position count?
