Tim rode like an animal this weekend , and deserves all the credit! The dude was on rails , and even though his team didn't stand much of a chance....in his class , he proved to be the best man for sure.
U may have given yourself and excellent self diagnosis in ur previous post..😉
Knowing the outcome of his title fight i am sure Tim would love to re-do some rounds where he left points on the table.
But tbh imo its just the difference between tracks and form of the day. Prado went backwards in both motos, Herlings fell and couldnt really move up in moto 2 as well. If you look at them this weekend you'd think Gajser wins mxgp easily.
Yes JL underestimated TG - He did look over the jump before the corner so he saw him there. Then proceeded to the outside of the corner over confident that he had him beat yet he did not - Quite a lesson - I am sure he is still upset with himself - He should have protected the inside lines the last 2 corners well in his skill set. Yet he neglected to do that simple thing. Big Lesson for Jett.

I said to my friend mid moto when Jett started to track down Tim that this could end in tears since Tim only had his own result to race for and had nothing to lose. And sure did Tim prove me right with that pass.
Tim was the best yesterday since he won that moto, but Jett still showed that he is the fastest rider on the planet doing the back to back motos, giving up the best spot on the gate to Hunter and then going from around 15th to first and passing all the best 450 riders in the world beside Chase Sexton that was not there.
I can see that people are hyped for Tim and glad that Jett got beat, but as for how the whole moto went, i am more impressed with Jett’s ride than Gajsers hail mary on the last lap.
jet didnt look like someone who just won the nations when was in mid air over the finish jump, the race win was at the forefront of his mind at this moment in time,he was trying for sure , may of been 99% ( we will never know ) at that particular point, but the rest of the time was 100% , commendable as there was a top spot on podium at stake if he got it wrong
10/10 for TG for riding his heart out and took it to the wire, i aint see anyone else do that before 👍
Jett didn't get the greatest start, but he was inside the top 10 and 6th after the first official lap. People acting like he had a 10-20 second gap to close down - nonsense:
And Gajser was 6th into the opening first few corners.
Lawrence obviously had a hell of a ride to reel in and pass the riders in front of him - he's an outstanding rider, and so fluid - but we're talking about fractions of a second separating most of these guys and the difference can simply be picking one wrong rut each lap. I saw Jett panic rev and almost go over the bars at one point in that last race and he made a small error in the corner which allowed Gajser to make his move on him at the end, so even he isn't flawless.
When Gajser got in to the lead in lap 8 or 9 he had about a 7 second gap to Jett. That’s what i feel is the relevant time gap to talk about. Not the 5 seconds on the first lap or what ever. But that was the same time that Jett ate up 3 seconds in one lap.
Gajser slept on how fast Jett was closing the gap and Jett slept on how close Gajser were on the last jump.
There was never a 7 second gap and Jett made up >3 seconds in one lap due to a lapper.
Ok…
The gap between gajser and Jett was at its peak 6.06 seconds gajser battled with Jett for 3 whole laps. If the tables where turned Jett would have signed off probably. But for those 3 laps gajser won fair and square https://www.facebook.com/share/r/VidHNpZzbxMDb4Si/?mibextid=UalRPS
The bumhurt Jett's fanboy clan are waking up.
gneugneungeu smoke no smoke gneugneu 3 tenth faster, gneugneugneu started 11th, gneugneugneu back to back moto start.
Ho wow how much more ridicoulous can you be ?? Just enjoy the fact that Jett can have some competition and for the first time he got pass and beat on the line. He shows pressure, almost died on the takeoff off a jump, make some mistake, have some bad lines where TIGA got some awsome lines.
That was the best race of the year, the best mxoN of the decade or the millenary.
And you still come here and whines over some words.
6.6 at lap 9 if you look at the tv time tables but sometimes I wonder if it’s 100% accurate
Your “guy” got beat in the last turns of a fascinating race,get over it!
RIP 😭
Jeez boys, sometimes an awesome race can be just that. What an epic last two laps.

6.6 isn't 7.
It's closer to 7 than it is to 6, therefore it is "about 7 seconds" as originally stated.
Jesus christ this a fantastic argument.! Keep it going!
Tim is my favorite MXGP rider off all time and that was a huge addition to an already stacked with accomplishments career….but god damn was I hoping he’d get even more aggressive with that pass and put Jett on the ground putting the team win in jeopardy…🤷🏻♂️oh well can’t get everything I guess I’m just happy Jett didn’t win.
Ummm, but he did...
Gajser didn't sleep on Jett, he said in the post race interview when he got into the lead he lost lots of time to a couple of backmarkers.
TG rode amazing. He's been a bad ass from day one in MXGP!
Tim had 2 hours more rest time before race 3 than Jett, would have helped Tim for sure. MXGP riders are more familiar with downhill starts, it certainly look like Jett & hunter were not getting their normal holeshots, could have been a factor.
He said at the Vital post race interview that he was not pushing up front and had more in the tank. To me that was sleeping since both Tim and Eli were putting on simular laptimes while Jett closed the gap on them.
Jett rode that as a back to back race. TG had an entire race worth of rest between his motos.
A race to remember for both guys. TG passing Jett (regardless of where either started) for the win is epic. Anyone know when (why) Gajser ditched the neck brace? Looked so different on tv after all these years of watching him He and Chiz were the last 2 fast guys to don one.
