HLaw vs JCoop

Fair call, thanks. But man look at Dunge, everyone else was so inconsistent.

JCoop was a team order short of making a top 5*

Forget McGrath's record, will be interesting to see if Jett can beat Dungey's record 31 race podium streak

With this field I doubt it. People don't like to hear it but the field was very weak when Dungey went on his 2015-2017 run

Hunters attitude vs Jcoop. Hunter -1 JCoop 2. Hunter is such a whiny downer and acts like he doesn't even want to be out there. "rough day in the office" boohoo, you just got 2nd overall how about ya get over the entitlement attitude and learn some gratefulness. AP chokes up and about cries from being so happy and grateful for 3rd, that's why people love him.

Yeah it really is uncanny. Hunter got a 2nd in sx and up until that point J coop had only had a top 5 as his best result and the very next week, Cooper got a 2nd in SX. Same thing outdoors, Hunter gets a few 2nds outdoors and then Cooper responds with a podium ride in the last moto. Could have very easily been a 2nd but Sexton was on another planet in that 2nd moto. 
 

What I will say is I think Hunter definitely made a bigger improvement from 2021 on than Cooper. Cooper was the top of the class in 21 and could have very easily won that outdoor title too save for that crash up Horesepower Hill. Hunter beat him straight up for the outdoor title last season, but honestly its crazy how close they are in results. They are going to be battling alot in the future as long as both stay healthy

If the expectations for a Rookoe wasn’t so high after recent years. There would and should be so much more talk about Hunters rookie season. 
He exceeded all expectations, showed speed and consistency. 
Killer season and held it down for HRC.

I don’t see the Lawrence’s parting ways with Honda any time soon
