You really have to appreciate Sexton’s level of fitness.

It's it just me or is Jett not as outgoing/funny/charismatic as he was in the 250 class? Is he already getting burnt out at 20 years old?

I noticed that too, he's turning into a robot. I hope he's not burnt out, I wonder what he does if he ends up retiring before 30.

Kullas 10-10, good ride and a solid performance even though he is not in the best possible form. He deserves a full season in America

Chase’s “home crowed fuck” Freudian slip was pretty funny. Wonder if he is single??

Jett's performance is excusable given he's not far removed from those injuries and on the toughest track of the year, but there really is no excuse for Hunter to have dropped the anchor. Deegan is probably in better shape tbh

I don't anyone in 250s or 450s has better fitness than Deegan. What a beast

Jett must have pushed harder and used more energy that first moto than it looked like watching him. Watching him it looked so easy and like he should be feeling great. But then his helmet comes off and didn't look comfortable or happy at any point after the moto. And aside from brief moments that second moto, he never looked the same as he did that first moto. He pushed a bit, looked like oh he has found it. Then was just kind of holding on moments later.

Chase moto 2 against Jett moto 1 would have been good to watch. Chase has mental things that hold him back. But he definitely looks the fittest and he must be starting to get a bit of confidence in his ability to match Jett. Even if Jett isn't 100%. He knows he can beat him now. He doesn't just think he can. He knows it for a fact.

Pretty crazy how tight the points are this year. 3 different riders who could leave with the red plate next week even if all 3 are on the podium. No DNF or anything required to shake it up.

You would expect that though as this is his 450 rookie season, the 450 is a different beast fitness wise. I'd expect him to challenge more next year, I think he is over performing this season.

Saying "no disrespect " is like saying no offense right before you're about to offend someone.  Just say what you mean .  Don't be a pussy .  That ride was dare I say Eliesque .

Chase and deegan are the most fit in their classes. It will be a while before haiden is more fit than both classes, But if he keeps improving every year like he did last year to this year, it won't be long I don't think.

At some points last year, he looked smoked, this race last year he had to take his jersey off because he was so hot.

Did anyone notice that Jett even riding in 2nd behind his brother still had his front number plate completely clean with the #1 playing it smart so he wasn’t taking any roost or following too close?  That was pretty surprising in the rain at Sourhwick and hard to do.

So Chase said he lost his flow after Hunter got around him and that's why he lost touch for a while, but we had to hear about how big brained he was for saving his energy for a late moto charge. No knock on James or anyone else but I'm getting kind of sick of race announcers assuming that riders are tactically slowing down or whatever, especially when it comes to Jett, you can't read a riders mind from the sidelines.

I think the injury is frustrating him tbh. Jett knowing what he's capable of healthy is not having fun out here racing at whatever percentage he's at.

Is this the same injury that kept Jett from going 1-1 at the previous round?

I see what you’re getting at .. but the difference was that an injured Jett can beat a not on his game Chase (last week) but he can’t beat a Comfortable on his game Chase.. (one moto today)

The point I was making was about his attitude change. We have all had that injury that stops us from doing simple shit that ruins our attitude. The pinched nerve from sleeping weird, the pulled hammy etc. Now take that injury and X it by 10 and lose moto winning Honda bonus money because of it. He’s pissed

Being offended usually isn’t the fault of the “offender” unless it’s a blatant insult. I could say I hate puppies and if you choose to be offended that’s your problem for having a weak chin

Jett has to know his injury is not good and that im sure is on his mind during interviews knowing he can give so much more. 

Jcoop everyone thought would be better but if you go back to the 250 days when he would not holeshot he would not blaze through the pack. Just like he is doing now. Gets 2 holeshots at Colorado and stays up there but when he doesn’t get the start hes just another one of the guys.

As soon as he sat down in a chair after winning moto 1, as soon as a cameraman approached he basically shoed him away....kinda like get outta my face.  I saw that and thought WTF

You doubt that he is hurt? He looked in discomfort from the moment his finished the first moto.

 

Jett can still ride well. Obviously. But he cant ride at his best for 2 full motos. He cant dig as deep when needed.

Chase threw away the second moto at the previous round. Or else that would have been the same story. 
 

Jett and Hunter destroyed Chase moto 1 both weeks. Moto 2 Chase had a hell of s lot more speed and finished strong. He just washed the front end last round. But didn’t this weekend.

Jett is just a bit quicker than his bro when bro is with him. But if someone is on Jett, other than big bro, Jett turns it up and leaves bro in the dust. That's being hurt or not.

Hunter will be much stronger on the 450 next year. He doesn't have his 450 legs yet.
