No one can ever compare Hannah to ** (formally known as Sexton).

Hannah dominated against the best in each year he raced.

Yea… I think at this point theres no question that were officially in the jett lawrence era. What a statement that was holy cow. When jett is on the track he is the one to beat until proven otherwise. Kid is an animal to come off the couch and put a smack down on these guys. Also what an awesome ride by eli, that was fun to watch.

Sexton has never won a championship the leader hasn't crashed out of. Waiting for the to be in it to win it replies.

Both things can be true. He was clearly not the best rider for the titles he has won. That said, you have to finish the season to win the title. No asterisks. He can be a worthy champion while also not being as fast as Jett

Would the AMA allow Sexton to now change his race number to **. 

Holy shit do you get the award for most annoying guy on Vital.

For Sexton it's inbetween the ears, he did not ride like he normally rides, pretty unexpected given how good he was riding outdoors.

Jett definitely lives in his head

Never a doubt for me.

Jett Lawrence is on another level, and there is so much proof to that fact at this point that i just find it laughable that some fans and media people (looking at you Lewis) are struggling to live with that fact.

Just a random bench racing question, do you think Herlings prime/current best is faster than Jett in outdoors?

I still think Herlings has the slight edge in terms of speed.

Ask Jeffrey that question. He has said multiple times that Jett is the best to ever ride a bike more or less. And Jeffrey are not the one that usually praise the other riders.

But he often talks good about Eli and Jett. At the deepest sand track, sure Jeffrey could be faster than Jett, but as a overall rider i would give the nod to Jett.

What Jett has ”against” him is that he never looks as fast as he is. Yesterday Eli looked like he was going twice as fast around the track and Jeffrey has that style to. 

But when Jett decide that it’s time to go or make a pass even he can look scary fast, like that lap he made up his mind to pass Eli, scrubing along side of him on the big double and then just blowing by him on the outside before the sand. The speed he can generate on a normal straight to pass another rider is almost unseen before.

Well what Jeffery did in the USA (his prime) against a very fast Tomac was nothing short of amazing that level could match him I believe, sand I would imagine even today Jeffery could hang with Jett, as I mentioned with Herlings in terms of speed I believe he could still hang with Jett better than Tomac and Sexton, key words in terms of speed, not riding technic, I'm well aware Jett may not look as fast as he is due to lack of body language but to me he's always looked insanely fast.

I give prime Herlings a slight edge above everyone but that's only because he's ready to push the limits like nobody else and obviously his speed was never sustainable, even in his championship seasons he crashed multiple times and got injured. With that said though watching him live in 2018 is something you won't forget. For a championship my money would always be on Jett though..

So excited to see ET3 do so well and Jett having to pass him. I think Jett may have lit a fire under Eli with his what otherwise would be a respectful speech of always wanting to race Eli and checking a box on his bucket list. I'm thinking Eli may not like that so much. It's going to get epic folks.

Wasn't a smack down by any means. Swapping moto wins is not the same as winning both motos by 10 seconds. I think Tomac could flip the script in the next two races. Sexton might have a move or two in him but I think he's more mental than Eli.

Deegan's win was a morale busting beat down. You could see it in Kitchens face post race. Not a Deegan fan but his skills are undeniable. Nobody is showing like they have anything for him.

Regionals aren't championships nowadays?
If less than 5 riders do all rounds in a season chances are high that some of your main competition crashes out. By the way, when Jett hurt his thumb and retired from the championship he wasn't leading the points either

Jett was crowned…. By the Jett fans.  Hard not to at least acknowledge the 22-0.  But today, different Chase, different Eli and obviously a different Jett.

The kid is still a superstar, but the competition has closed the gap.


The Chase era is not over.
