Here's a question: does Chase have the worst average start position of any 450MX champion?

Eli must be feeling it, destroyed the corner and threw a whip.

He was RUINING that corner. Seeing that Eli flow, I thought about his career coming to a close and it made me rreally sad lol

That has to sting for Sexton’s previous mechanic that was strangely fired seeing the replacement get mechanic of the year.

After watching Sexton get 2nd in that epic championship to Tomac and watching Jett beat him every moto last summer, it is really nice to see Chase win this championship. Well deserved #4.  Gritty summer figuring out a new team and bike.

After moto 2 at The Wick, I felt it was game on....  Chase had the bike sorted.  Then Jett went out.  I honestly think Chase was going to match him for the rest of the season.

That said, Jett is still the favorite until Chase puts him away in a couple more motos.

Yes Chase has matched speed but not effortlessly and without a mistake or crash the whole moto like Jett could.  Interesting to see if Jett will be trigger shy after his thumb injury but I doubt it with the technique idea and not taking chances with his “program”.  Chase improved on the new bike and may have forced Jett to take a chance or it was just a 1 in a million accident after Jett not crashing like that before and getting injured.

Seems like he found something he really enjoys, hope he stays as a commentator for years to come.

I saw James come alive when he started doing his own show.  I hope others who feel cheated like with a dragged out TUE controversy, or willing to die for the sport and almost doing it, or getting taken out unexpected can come back refreshed in some way and contribute if they are true fans and bleed 2-stroke motor oil.

What’s the best Ford can put out?  A F-150 or Mustang?  If I was 18 as a multi-millionaire that can whip like that I’d have an Audi R8 whip in my garage too.

I think Chase can match Jett on speed but he can't on precision.  That's where Jett excels and it's Chase's biggest fault.  Jett is also ridiculously good at starts and first lap pace which puts him in a great position.  Chase's starts got better the last couple of races but they were dogshit most of the season.  That's okay when you're clearly the fastest and most fit guy but that's not the case when Jett is in the field.  

I hope Chase is up to the challenge just because I want some excitement.

What is Chance one of those guys who can just ride with a torn ACL? Has he said anything about getting it fixed? Hes going to be trouble for everyone next year  

Chance is having good results but I don’t know about the MxDn since he’s pretty banged up between the burn from the bike on him and other crashes but to come out #2 today with speed TCB.  If Shimoda is better can he ride America after turning down Japan?

The Ford GT’s are sweet. I think the last street legal one was the 2022.

I hope this gives Chase some confidence. Seems like he was a bit mentally broken against Jett and almost wouldn’t try to race him

Now that you mention it sure why not a GT but I don’t think the riders were forced to have Mandingo pickles in their fridge, camel cigarettes, bud light, and those water bottles labeled Monster Energy and Reb Bull are likely just water.  If it is a can of Rockstar I am not seeing them swallow anything! But those appear to be unstaged real fan signatures on Kevin Moranz’s bike as sponsors.
