All you guys saying Chase is a head case, did you not see how horrible the KTM looked? Plessinger was no where to be found after last week as well. Compared to the Hondas, KTM looked like a bucking bronco.

Why the blue background for Jett? Is it to signify he's the reigning SMX and 450 MX champ (but not the point leader), or just for visual effects? 

The blue background with yellow number is only for smx champ, thats why deegan had it too. Jett has the 1 on his bike from winning 450mx last year. The points leader normally has a red background with white number, thats what sexton has this race. When jett had the red plate he had a yellow number one instead of white to signify that he was also the reigning smx champ. Since today deegan is now the red plate holder and smx champ he has a red background with yellow 38.

I wish Will would just ask their thoughts after the moto, rather than her fucking rambling for two minutes. We want to hear the racers talk, not the fucking pit reporter.

Chase has a history of making mental errors. Nothing to do with how his bike looks

The track just as rough last week. How was it so good last week, and a disaster this week? It's the rider

Cooper has faded all the motos this year, and even on the 250’s as soon as a rider started to get close on him on track.

He is a start dependent rider and in the 450 class you have to last the whole moto to. And look at his riding, sitting half the lap through bumps etc, he wasted way more energy (that he can’t afford) compared to the brothers.

Credit to the coverage, better sound and the camera thru the rollers that showed the speed and sound was great. 👍🏻

 

also Will is batting 100% on talking too long with a pass happening 🫣

And to think they're always so worried about casual fans understanding the difference between the 250 and 450 classes...

Just look how unnecessarily convoluted they've made a simple number board 😂

I'm totally up to speed on it like most of us are, but seeing it all written down just makes it sound ridiculous 😂

Chase might have taken a rock right in the googles and had it break/screw up the lense/tear offs.

They should have pushed to get the 250s going. I realize there was a weather delay but I doubt many casuals that tuned in to NBC are still watching almost 30 minutes later.

That's a good question. I'm not sure if it's KTM unwilling to change parts/settings or Chase/AP unwilling to change anything because of their confidence from the results from last week. Sometimes a rider won't change a setting simply because they know what to expect, rather than going into the unknown or risk going further in the wrong direction. 

You can just visibly see the difference over the braking bumps and in the ruts, the Honda and Star, the Kawi, even Barcia's gas gas, looked to absorb and float better, at least to my eyes. 🤷‍♂️

They usually interview only race winner after first race. Jett`s interview was a bonus to ask how he feeling.

Weege, stop calling MXGP the "European version". They go to plenty of stops outside of Europe.

Pro Motocross is still better imo, just saying.

Very odd to see what he did last week and not build on that.

Yea, he doesn't want this title as bad as Jett does. Sexton can not ride through any adversity, whether physical or mental.

lol, goes last to first last weekend and “can’t ride through adversity”. 

That's not adversity, he fuckin crashed and had a good ride. It's not adversity if you cause a problem and then fix it. Adversity would be overcoming his weak ass head case of mental issues that he has. Actually stepping up and riding hard when he's uncomfortable. He never does. He always drops the ball at the wrong time. If he's the slightest bit uncomfortable he's a wreck waiting to happen and can't ride with the top guys. Period.
