Jap bike = tucks the front

Same with Kenny.

Didn't look like Chase had anything nice to say to his mechanic.

Feel like there's some real frustration behind closed doors

That’s the first thing that popped in my head. No Tomac and Roczen outdoors. The other guys left won’t touch him. Hopefully he’s just banged up.

That would explain the chit chat with mechanic….hopefully it’s just “ electrical”

I would love to know what happened there because it looked like a potential bike problem. Maybe I just need to watch it back, but that was strange. Hope it’s not as bad as it looks. Same with Kenny.

Looked like it, or he should've tried "copying" Roczen' doubling that one single into the corner and screwed up. But people with knowledge like DV and RC think it was a mechanical problem and I think also.

The way Chase walked off, he could just be banged up. Kenny not so much

I agree that it looked like the throttle stuck open. No wonder he was pissed at his mechanic

I thought it looked like he was saying the bike cutout which is why he cased it. I'll have to go back and watch that moment again.

I think he might have hit his pit board as he went by.

Cut out? He was pulling a Ronnie Mac boner air over that thing

If you ignore RC saying “yelling at his mechanic” and watch and listen then he doesn’t act or sound pissed at the mechanic.  It looks like he was asked a question and points over to the bike and says something.  If you have ever been to a race then you can’t communicate without raising your voice with all the bike noise.  I watched the walk by his mechanic multiple times and I think Chase is hurt and bummed….but if RC doesn’t make that comment and put that thought in your head…. you just see a bummed rider but nothing to indicate yelling at or pissed at his mechanic.

That would be something... I'll have to re-watch it now

I felt exactly the same way watching the clip. I didn't know what RC was talking about

It looked like it cut out/bogged when he landed, at that point you're fully committed. It probably cut out/bogged for a split second and when it came back he was 12 o clock. Weird crash.

They just said in the press conference that a rock cracked the throttle body during the race and the throttle got stuck, banged up but no major injuries

They said in the press conference that the throttle stuck due a damaged throttle body. My guess was wrong.
 

No major injuries.

Guys at the pro level have so many freak things happen to their bikes that just never seem possible.

When the Kato stalls; “a rock bent the brake lever”. 
When the Kato loops out; “a rock cracked the throttle housing”.

Is there a pattern here? 😂

Hope Sexton is fully healthy and in a good place for Outdoors. Back in for the rest of SX would be a bonus, but MX should be their focus from here, if he’s not seriously injured.
