I turned it off… did sexton bring up the bike?!?

Me too, anyone know what eli, chase and jett in the interviews?

Eli said he felt good and was happy. The quad got sketchy and a little too deep in the transition to send it so he said he played it safe and it cost him. 

Jett said he surprised himself and was happy to battle with Eli and check it off the bucket list

Jett more or less just said that he was surprised that he won.

Eli was happy about the race and the results and said that Jett killed him in the sand and then blamed missing the quad a bit for the loss. But Jett did not do the quad neither so it’s irrelevant.

Chase said that the bike were off (chocker) then praised the other two riders in front of him.

That’s good, love to see respectful jett, not that he hasn’t been before, but some things he’s said weren’t respectful at some points, but that’s in the past now. I knew something was going on with eli not jumping the quad. The boys battled hard today.

This is a BS retelling of that interview. He talked about the bike, also said those guys just smoked him.

So did he mention his bike being off or not?

Eli’s sand point is valid, the other one, not so much, as you said.

Jett impressed me, did not think he would be this good so soon. Plus his ability to suddenly drop his times when need to make up gaps, it was great to see Eli up front were he belong. Looked better than he did in sx.

Not surprised. Glad Chase got his MX title when he had the chance

It's great to see Jett back....his insufferable fans....not so much...

I alternate, Jett in one hand and Eli in the other, its hard work. But its worth it to see the jealousy on the Chase fans faces.🥒🥒

If it wasnt for this stupid double, tripple points system, it would be a tight fight to the end.

I think Deegan is a total badass. I don't think like a teenager though. I can think he's a badass and still call out the bullshit. Ok fanboy?

Chase is screwed unless he gets a start. That's basically what this track comes down to. These guys are all too close on speed to do much once they get in line on this dumb track. 

I mean.. the cream always rises to the top. Regardless of the starting position

I'm a fan of both....Jett doesn't have the deranged anti crowd that Deeges has...you know the ones that are like cockroaches that only come out when he doesn't win or says something they can't comprehend....they'll be quiet this week....

KTM's Pit Beier also said there are too many races. Said he'll push for a shorter schedule.

You're not getting a shorter series unless everyone involved decides they want to make less money, riders included. So not going to happen.

Riders could demand the money to be spread at the two main series instead.

We all know why the SMX ”series” were created and the riders were never a fan of it.

It's funny that when the guys made squat they didn't complain about the number of races.  Now there's some money in the game...the seasons too long.

They both absolutely waxed a Chase Sexton at the top of his game. That's embarrassing that Chase is a SX Champ and MX Champ

Riders can't demand anything. They can try to negotiate if they want to, but their only bargaining chip is not showing up. Not nearly enough of them are financially secure enough to do that on a large enough scale to matter, especially when they have relatively short window of time to make money and their ability to earn goes down a ton when they aren't racing.

It's just talk at the end of a long season.

Surely the manurfactures can form together and create a pact like F1.

The extra expense and rounds must hurting everyone, except Feld.

I’m sure it’s in all of the contracts now. Why don’t these agents work the contract to say they’ll only race SX and MX if they think SMX is stupid? Because they have a carrot dangled in front of them. Ultimately they are the ones who agreed to this schedule with their teams. 

People sign SX only deals without issue, why not SX and MX only deals? Or SX and SMX only deals? If enough of the big names start signing contracts like that, you would think Feld and MXS would try to remedy the problem then right? Right?! 😔

Kinda lame that they hold the race right in the middle of the day on Saturday. Most people are out doing other stuff and not home watching racing. Then the results get spoiled on instagram, good times 😂
