No, it sure as hell isn’t…it’s Eli falling down and Sexton just trying to stay in it. If you think Chase “wants” to run over Eli? Well, then you haven’t been watching Chase these last 4-5 years…

It’s A1, weird stuff happen here, but man every time he was on the track he was just taking care of business. In the DB/Matthes show DB was saying he didn’t push through the rhythm lanes as good on the KTM vs the Honda so I was watching that and thought he looked pretty good last night. Curious what DB would say.

Ok then, I guess it's fair game to blatantly run someone over like that.  I understand it's racing but don't recall ever seeing someone with no f's given do something like that.

Please tell us what you would have done in that split second? Parked your bike and helped tomac up?

Put Eli & Jett in 2nd & 3rd and you’ve got a very different mindset from Chase. 

We’ll see.

I saw Kenny go after him for a moment…

I watched El Hombre race a bike with broken spokes in his front wheel playing a tune that’s damn scary…& that’s after he slugged it out at the start.

Watched Eli put in THE RIDE OF THE MAIN! Damn, that dude was in Full Beast Mode! And he was STILL SMILING when it was all over. BEAST!

Watched the HRC crew have a miserable night in SX1. But, you can be sure…that WILL change. 

Watched the Coopers get in the fight a bit and reminded us they’re both still capable of mixing it up. Did ya see the 2 fighting at the finish? 

Saw the Spaniard get up there and get pushed around…and I saw him push back. He’ll figure it out. He’s tough.

Saw the Beta folks put in some laps and have some issues. They looked pretty damn good at times.

Saw a helluva lot of great racing and very few “bad incidents”. It was a damn good night.

This is racing…it’s not the soap-opera they you’re attempting to create. Do us all a favor? Stop following The Kardashians and start following the racing.

I’m jus’ sayin’…

Starts. If Chase can get starts, he is extremely dangerous for this championship, even if Jett figures things out and rides like he did last year. I think Chase can match that if he's getting holeshots.

Chase got ”gifted” a perfect race when the two guys on track that was faster in qualifying effed up and took them self out of contention.

I’ll wait until he have to race Eli and Jett for a whole main event and see how calm and collected he is. I can promise that he don’t see Ken or Anderson as threats for the win and could cruise to the end without any worries.

He had a great night but I would not read to much in to this before some actual racing is done.

I mean yea but it’s not exactly that easy to beat Roczen, Anderson, and Webb. Credit where credit is due

Absolutely, both those riders could be the fastest in the world on any given night, and last night they were pretty damn fast. Anderson went that fast missing some spokes too. Cooper Webb was also running good, but not Sexton good

Sexton doesn’t feel remotely threatened by Kenny, Anderson or Prado. 

When he looked around him, saw those three behind him, he could relax and ride. 

He still yet to do the same thing with the other elitists on his rear fender. 

Will it ever happen? We can only hope those three get out the gate 1-2-3 plus Webb in one of these things soon. 
For some reason these ‘perfect storms’ rarely materialise.

Sexton made it look pretty easy. Ken rarely last a full main event if he must race at full pace and can’t control it from the front, and Anderson don’t have the stamina either for a full main at the same intensity as Jett, Sexton and Tomac can do. 

So no, i don’t put beating Ken and Anderson in the same category as beating Tomac and Jett. Sexton KNEW that the other two riders behind him would fade in a way that the guys he races for the championship won’t.

Yes, Ken and Anderson are great riders, but none of them is championship material now days.

You do realize that he also beat Jett and Eli....In this race Chase was the class of the field by quite a bit...bring on next week and let's see what happens but to downplay his win and not give him the credit that he is due is rediculous.

Dude nobody is downplaying his win. 

Sure thing, Chase was the complete package last night, from gate drop to chequers. Nobody else was the complete package. 

But you have to admit Chase must have felt relieved to see Kenny and JA behind him rather than some others. 

As far as wins go, he didn’t need to push as hard for that one as he might have to for others.

You could say that about many of the races for Jett outdoors in 23’ and SX last year.  He earned good starts and he had no or less than healthy ready Eli, not totally healthy or new bike Chase, AP, and his brother.  He didn’t feel threatened most of the time.  ….but that’s racing…and I’m sure if we look back you said the same about Jett’s wins…lol.  This SX is a different season….and Jett looks, last night, to be the one not totally ready.  Not the winners fault…whether outdoors 23’, SX24’…or MX 24’, or last night.  

side note…when they showed gate selection I was surprised where Jett lined up and said to the wife…he’ll get pinched off…even with a decent jump.   Eli chose much wiser for the 9-10 pick….and…..

I wonder if Sexton's bonus check is gonna bounce?? 

No. Major team rider salaries are most likely placed into escrow just after all parties sign the contract or have a clause to be in escrow on a certain date for multi year contracts.  I understand, based upon interviews I have heard over many years with team managers, race bonuses are covered via an insurance policy (I forget what they are called but I bet someone on here knows what they are called). Now, if the insurer was insolvent, then the check would bounce.

So, if this were the case, the riders will not miss any pay or bonus checks.

Sexton just looked really comfortable, he was leaning the bike over and carrying speed in flat corners where others were not. I hope this carries on because it will be great for racing this season but who knows.

You appear to have gone off on a tangent… 

Why are we (you) talking about Jett’s previous wins and not being challenged?? 

This discussion is about Sexton not ‘Sexton’ing’. 

And the correct answer is no, no he didn’t. And I don’t think Sexton had ‘Sextoned’ before when he’s had an unpressed race. 

Will he ‘Sexton’ in future if he’s pressured by the other elite guys?? We’re yet to find out.

Good point.  But credit to Chase for performing under lots of A1 pressure.  After his stall, he put 5 seconds on KR94 quite quickly and cruised home. Hopefully a big shot of confidence for CS4.

So let's review racecraft. When Jett gets the lead and cruises to a 3 second win, all is good, no matter where anyone else starts. When Sexton does the same it's because others put themselves in bad positions and he doesn't deserve any credit. This comes from an Eli fan.

It's the same hypocrisy with bike issues. If Chase says he's struggling with the bike he's just making excuses and should ride better. When Jett says the same thing it's now a valid excuse and he's not to blame at all for his poor performance.
