Option 2
He said in the last vital post race interview he thinks the bike is better outdoors. Obviously nothing means anything til the rubber meets the road but I think he’ll have a quicker and easier time dialing it in for MX.
With Tomac out, I say he picks up where he left off last year, 2nd best guy week in and week out.
Even if he isn't 100% dialed on the bike he's still better than the rest of them except Jett.
I predict he podiums at least 10 of the 11 races.
yes

Lets be honest, on equal equipment he was a couple tiks off last year coming off injury granted.
Now that he's running Yamaha suspension that will help, guess we will see.
Prado seeming to make the bike look ok outdoors
I sure hope he can get it dialed quickly. IMO Chase is every bit capable of running Jett's pace if he can get the bike dialed and stay off the ground. Would love to have another outdoor season like '22.
Different bike all together with it being a true works bike apples and oranges
Hoping they do have the bike in the ball park and we have a good outdoor battle. Hard ask obviously but Chase has it in him
Why can’t fruit be compared?
Will be champ if anything happens to Jett
Might be better outdoors than indoors, but it could still be way behind the Honda. I think they'll be off to a slow start unfortunately. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Jett goes undefeated again.
I wouldn't be surprised if he wins a couple of races, so many things can go wrong preventing another perfect season for Jett.
Well the heart is there for sure . I think Chase will get a few wins but Jett wins title
He's got the field, save Jett, covered by a mile. 30+ seconds
Am I the only one seeing Chase improve quite a bit as of late?
True while a undefeated season is hard, I don't think its out of reach for him to win every overall. At the very worst win 80% of motos or overalls. Chase is probably running something close to Prado's setting hopefully he's happy enough with that.
His corning the last couple rounds was incredible
Pit Row
The bikes aren't as different as they used to be... Part of the reason is the new frame. Vialle has his USA bike feeling pretty much just like his GP bike. I suspect them to do the same with the 450. The main issue is the way Chase likes his bike to feel... I thinks it's a lot different than how Prado wants his bike to feel.
Good thing we get started in about 10 days.... We're all going to find out together.
Chase wins in 10 days.
I just hope he's competitive, I don't think he'll have the pace like he did on the honda. He just had a flow on that bike that we haven't seen him have on the KTM yet.
The only one who can grab a 2024 MX win from Jett, is Sex or Hunter. Will he win all 22-motos NO, the vets will punt Jett once or twice for GP. Even Prado, it will take him a season or maybe less to get used to our tracks and he wont have his MXGP bike because of AMA rules. But I thinK Prados 2nd year in AMA MX he can beat Jett probably win the title.
Full disclosure I'm not a Jett fan and that aussie should of got warned for retaliation or the hit job he put on JA. I don't care who did what first or second, Doughnuts pulled a retaliation move same as the other kangaroo. Plus TLF saying JA should get punched in the face,
Gotta love the click bait titles. There was zero proof that Chase was on any kind of pace . I hope he is, but unfortunately do not think he will be.
It's not that much of a difference these days. If it were, you wouldnt have seen Herlings come over and ride the USA bike and do what he did, nor would you have seen Prado come over and race SX on a USA bike then go back to a GP bike and become even better than ever with a week or whatever on it. People make such a big deal about the USA vs GP bikes and its really not anymore.
I was under the impression that Herlings ran his GP bike when he was here, but I could be wrong?
And Prado makes perfect sense, as he practiced and raced SX which is tougher and quicker (not faster) than MX, while all his competitors were at home on the couch watching him race SX and get more gate drops.
I'm almost positive Herlings ran the US spec bike, which makes it even more impressive.
Yeah pretty sure they put Herlings on Canards bike with Herlings suspension. Herlings also said the main difference was setting the bike up differently for a new track + different fuel.
I feel like it’s gonna be the most start dependent season of outdoors in a long time, maybe even ever. Even with that being the case, I don’t think Jett will have an issue going from 5-6th to 1st given a whole moto to do so. Gonna fucking suck not having the #3 to get involved again.
