Jetts only 6 points down on chase after 1 race. Ppl last week were asking if it would even be possible for jett to catch up by the end if he won every race… Smidge premature there. 

They forget how many points you can make up on mx.. 50 pts max per race

All is right with the world.  Lawrence's throwin' it down.  I'm stoked for Cooper though...really heads up riding.

People want to believe but in reality Chase will never beat Jett. Jett is just straight up better

I don't get the rabid Sexton hate/glee when he goes down.

Pretty crazy both boys put in their fastest lap of the race on the last lap and that those 2 laps were the fastest laps of the race. 
 

I couldnt have been more wrong about Sexton though. I thought he would destroy everyone and only have competition once Jett was fit. Didn't expect him to struggle cracking top 5 after being about 40 seconds a moto faster than them.

Exactly, it's only the third round, mathematically anyone in the top ten could win the title.

Realistically there's only 4, but you get it.

Not sure what is wrong with Chase but it’s frustrating to watch, especially after that ride last week.  Maybe he let his guard down this week???  Only he knows. I’m rooting for him but it’s getting tough….

This once again shows how smart of a rider Jett is when it comes to race craft.

Just cruising along, taking his time, not rushing. Making pass after pass and setting the fastest lap time on the last lap with a sore body.

Compare that to Cooper or Sexton that rode their brains out early in the race with the result of a dirt nap and the other one running out of steam. It’s not the 20 year old that should be the smartest rider of them.

Cooper had no choice but to push if he wanted to stay in the lead . Great ride from him . Something to build on .

We saw last weekend...better doesn't trump luck.  It's racing...no telling what will happen.

I think it’s 10 points, but yeah he knocked 14 points off the gap in one race.

The rain came 1 moto too late. Would have liked to see Jett tackle a muddy Thunder Valley.

Did Chase start having flashbacks to 2023 when he heard Honda went back to last years set-up?

And how did that work out? 
 

In the first moto he went WFO at altitude where the other guys just set a sustainable pace.

In the second moto it was the same, as soon as Sexton hit the ground, Cooper could have slowed down a bit to save some energy since the riders behind were just waiting for him to fade, as he did. 
 

Had he slowed down a second in lap times Hunter and Jett still would have followed him but maybe he could have had some juice left in the tank the last laps..

Possibly.  Or he could have lost touch with them early .
