quadzrulebro are you serious?

Eli Tomac was missing a section at Daytona, losing 2 seconds every lap.  Chase Sexton is still injured and on a different brand of bike.  Different bike for Cooper Webb and Jett Lawrence has crashed, got lucky, very often.  Jett's undefeated season MAY have been aided by a decimated field due to injuries?

I'm not seeing the dominance you are predicting.

That's because you left your rose-colored glasses on the table...😎

This thread makes me feel old with the theme being "no competition now, no competition in the future, and boredom will ensue".

Imagine if anything in life was that predictable besides death and taxes. We've reached the point of blind faith. Keep loading the wagon even though the horse is blind fella's. Gotta go, somebody just stepped on my lawn...🤠

It's probably that you've been alive close to a century that makes you feel old. Laughing

Jett is enjoying the fruits and benefits of an incredible good luck streak. At some point that is bound to change. It always does, for these guys as well as every other humam being on the planet.

Chase, Coop, AP, and KRoc victories this season don't count?

Stop being a fucking tool, you know very well that we are talking Championships...

The only way Chase, Cooper, AP,  Tomac, Anderson and Kroc can fight for a Champion is if Jett gets hurt.

If Jett doesn't get hurt then they are all fighting for 2nd.

50% is predetermined? Jett's got the future and nobody is coming up? Step away from the bong. Why oh why do I get sucked into these threads? Why? 🤢

It isn't predetermined at this point, but it is trending in that direction.  I'm not worried about today, I'm worried about tomorrow.

Tomorrow you should be fine, the sun will come up and go down, then you can go to bed!!!

I heard a rumor about the Deegans plan, it was race east last year, race west this year, but that didn’t happen because of the wrist, but if he wins this year, he defends next year then moves up in 2026 to go after jett. If he moves up in 26, we are in for some of the best battles, haiden already looks good on a 450 when he’s ridden it, he will only get better. Next year some guys may retire, but there will still be chase that jett will battle with if chase learns to not let him by every single chance he gets, kenny will be there, webb too. We have stuff to look forward to and think about, one of those think abouts is if eli does one more season of mx, it will be 2022 all over again but with eli and jett, then we will see the true beast mode come out.

I think a lot of the replies are trying to twist the original post around. I think the original point is valid. Aside from Chase, most of the top contenders are towards the end of their career. Jett is the only one currently trending upwards. So next season or perhaps the one after, we could be in for a window where Jett is going to go on quite a run. Of course a lot can happen but it's just a reasonable prediction, based on what we know and see. If it were to happen, I'm not sure how it will be viewed by the majority of the fan base. MC certainly brought the sport to another level. To me, the RC era was a lot of ppl heading to their cars as soon as moto 2 left the gate (Nationals.) Ppl respect RC's greatness now but his active window, I am not sure his dominance was viewed as a positive, for most fans. It's an interesting topic, regardless.

I think this has always been a downside to the dynamics of the sport in general. Its an individual sport so in theory the best rider is just going to win every time. Saw this with mcgrath, ricky, but not so much in recent years. the fans will turn on jett once he starts winning round after round for a while.

How many Beast Modes does Eli have and when does he turn them on ?

Jett passed him in Glendale and said that wasn't true beast mode and yet he "woke up the beast" for Arlington with his comments.

Arlington comes Jett falls on the last lap Eli gets a gifted 2nd and is now in full "Beast mode" for Daytona. #8 coming at Daytona - Eli's house !

Jett passes (a pissed off - Eli's words) Eli, twice to take the leads in both the heat race and the main. So much for SX beast mode

But you say in MX is where the "True Beast Mode" will come out?

And people say the Jett/Deegan fans are delusional?

Please don't get me wrong, I am a huge Eli fan as is my son too, but the writing is on the wall as well as the scoreboard and it's reading Jett. It's his to lose, cause I don't see anyone coming to take it.

 

I love Moto!

Formula One survived the Schumacher era, it made it through the Hamilton one and its doing ok in the Verstappen one. Sport has its dominant people from time to time, the hope is it inspires more youngsters to push to be the next Lawrence...

I'm sorry but it's too early for me to make preparations for Coop, KRoc, AP, or Eli's funeral. The patients are alive and kicking.

Last year's championship was "all but sewn up" too.  Until Denver.  As noted already, when Stewart came on the scene, all these "predictions" were made then, too. 

If you want "anyone can win!!!" just hold poker runs at the races. Personally, I love seeing domination.  As also noted.... McGrath was anything but boring.  RC was awesome to watch.

That is my point.  I’m afraid lots of people might make that decision.

As much of a fan I am of RC and McGrath....I lost interest when they were dominating and stepped away.  It's boring watching the same person win all the time.       I don't care who it is.

Your point is valid  (****IF**** Jett becomes dominant)

So what's your hope? That riders don't improve and stay at exactly the same level? This isn't how sports, particularly motorsports, work. 

The most predictable motorsports, by the way, tend to be the most popular.

"Predictable" is exactly why I don't give a crap about most other motorsports.

I remember holding my breath when Jeremy was whoopin' up on everyone. Will this be the lap or race that he has the big one. It's a dangerous sport and I'm never bored watching it.

You okay OP or do you need a nappy? Everything will be fine. No rider has a guaranteed number of races to them. Injuries can happen and there's always someone out there that is coming up. I love the racing whether there is someone dominating or not.

Some of the most exciting battles happen for the transfer spot in the LCQ. If You want action just look for it deeper in the pack , if the same guy keeps winning.  It seems like when Jett is outfront by himself , He gets very little TV time. Pretty much anybody who has a big lead and  is way out front  is shown less than a battle for 2nd and 3rd might be.  They will check in with the leader for a bit if a battle cools down and another is not found. But for the most part it seems like there are always battles to be found.

Jett is outstanding and will obviously keep progressing.

I'm a little surprised that people don't think any other youngsters or GP refugees or whoever have any hope of progressing enough to challenge him?

Granted nobody jumps out as a clear favorite right now.

People will keep working, keep training, they'll keep watching Jett, Chase, Eli, etc, they'll keep developing in their own right, blah blah... It's not out of the question is it?
