Same shit they did to Coop last year at the opening presser.   They put the 2x SX champ in the 2nd row.    I loved his response about that  "Haven't you heard, I'm washed up".       ...and then he went on to challenge for the title keeping Eli honest, even taking the red plate for a bit.      One of the things I like most about him.  The quiet confidence and doesn't give a shit what the mouth-breathers and industry "insiders" have to say. 

Sexton running #1 is a joke.    Title was Elis or Webbs.

How is it a joke? He finished the series with the most points. 

Unfortunate circumstances for Webb and Tomac, but shit happens.

Sorry Mav....    it's an inherited title.   He wasn't in the running. 

It's the shittiest way to become a "champion". 

Yeah but the champion is the 1 with the most points.  Chase could’ve wrecked too. If s rider is faster than anyone & goes 1 , dnf. The other rider does 2-2 he has more points. It doesn’t go by the fastest. It’s a points system.

That championship bonus cleared for Sexton didn’t it? He is also rocking the 1 on his plate so all this points to Sexton being precious champion.

If Webb wins the championship, it would be very significant considering Jett's ability. It could change the prospects in coming seasons, as other riders would know that he can be beaten, and we may see more good racing to come.

Maybe Cooper found something out years ago when chasing that 'crafty frenchman'  who I think we can agree was the more talented.

Me im rooting for a Cooper championship

I swear Coop's speed is so underrated. People always talk about his "craftiness" (which yes he is crafty), but if you're slow, racecraft will only help you get a 7th instead of an 8th (see 2022). Racing smarts or not, you gotta be a damn fast rider to lead a whole SX main event wire to wire with Chase Sexton and Ken Roczen breathing down your neck the whole time.
