Whoever wins.  I'm very interested in Tomac vs Jett vs Sexton outdoors.

The Euros are fast too.

I'd say there are around 6 racers eligible for that title right now in 450s.

Tomac, Herlings, Sexton, Prado, J Lawrence, and Gaiser.

I hope Deegan does MXoN this year before he moves up.  I want to see him race the Euros.

Agreed with everything you said. I hope Eli can gel with the bike well and charge like he used to, I don’t think we will see 2022 millville beast mode again but a moto head can dream.

The best supermoto rider in the world is Jett. Everyone can be beat on any day but all around he’s in the game. Put him in a gp, supercross. AMA national or hybrid supermoto. His starts are the best in the world.

Sexton would be crazy to try and race Jett…finish second every moto from here on out and take home the championship…to risk crashing and throwing the title away for a moto win is silly.  

I thought Jett was coming back until SMX?

Sexton is by far the best.
When Eli or Jett are on the couch.

There is always a recency bias. If "active" is defined as on the track last weekend and over the last 6 months, then I'd say Sexton or Prado or Herlings or Gajser. Each one has been dominant at some point, but nobody overwhelming like Jett last year.

Well, not speed wise obviously. But when it comes to style? Fuck yeah.

I don't think there is a major aadvantage for either rider, Jett or Chave, in speed. Jett's starts give him the edge and let him manage the race better, though

Jett can run his pace without crashing constantly

This seems silly considering how much Jett crashed in SX and had not one but two injuries this summer

It's actually bananas to say anyone other than Jett. 

Chase is riding great, consistently beating Hunter Lawrence. But who didn't expect him to?

But its not right now because Jett is hurt. When he is healthy, yes he is really fast, and can beat chase and everyone in america, but we don't know how he stacks up against the euros head to head. MXON can help us decide that.

Didn't he come from last to 5th in his first moto, and spank the field in the second moto?

Which top GP riders were not there (I honestly don't know)?
