Same here. I expect he'll win 9 or 10 of the remaining races and clinch early. I'd be happy to be wrong, though!
It begs the question why everyone else didn’t just train to gain a second before? That seems like a huge oversight on their part
Eli fan here. The idea that we should call out Jett for a sophmore slump after one race is just silly. Even if you count the overseas races, it’s way too early for that !
The Lawrences seem to be more adept at bike setup than most, including most definitely Chase. That said the bike needs work. One of the commentators said the bike would likely get worse as the track went away and he was spot on. But they'll get this figured out.

He'll have a 10 point lead in by round 7.
Who gives a shit Jett’s slump, extra offseason racing, or social media he reads that makes him sensitive, he’s a racer. Don’t make excuses for him. You think he’s the only factory guy who jumped on a new bike and didn’t have issues.
Don’t make excuses for him. You are a Jett fan he doesn’t need. Your Mr excuse, your probably make excuses for your under performance at your job.
Get over it, it’s round 1
You got all that from his post? Relax it's not that serious champ
Why is there no thread about Deegan's slump?
If he would have finished 12th maybe...
Deegan's 5th place with one crash, Jett's 12th place with 2 crashes (or one tuffblock entanglement and one tip over) when both were expected to win.
🤣 new product on the market is slumpbegone. Blink and POOF the slump will be gone.
I seem to recall several mud races early in the season last year and that had an impact on his start to the season. He still looked good on the bike, when it wasn't a slopfest. This year, even when laying down fast lap times in qualifying, he still doesn't look normal on the bike. I'm sure he will still be fast and figure it out at some point, but the start of last year was different than A1.
Both definitely underperformed, but there’s been lots of talk in other threads about Deegan and Jett’s underperformance was more shocking
If he’s still finishing outside of the top 5 at the halfway mark, then he’s in a slump. But not yet.
Unfortunately some people want Jett to fail instead of wanting the best man (whoever it may be) to win.
I guess it comes with the territory of being as good as Jett, but hopefully he can block it out and just keep doing what he does best.
need a hug? Btw, Philly pizza is way better than NY.
Not a Jett hater by any means but I am glad he didn't win. Just for the fact that if he gets comfortable and confident it could turn into a boring points race real quick. I don't want to see any one rider dominate and pull a huge points lead and he's definitely a threat to do that. I don't think A1 with a funky start and a bike that's not quite dialed is a good enough yardstick to say he's in a slump. Just my 2 cents. Lets see how San Diego goes. I'm kind of bummed AP isn't going to get a slopfest this year !😄
"Lawrence bros were busy racing around the world instead of training to get faster."
They raced Paris and Aus, for those two races they away from the compound for maybe a week and half, two tops. IMO Jett is still the fastest guy in the premier class, by a tick, I do think everyone else is riding better than ever though. They seem to be struggling with the bike a tad, is unrideable? No. But its off just a little. Give Jett a top 5 start and I think he would've at the very least given Chase a run for his money. He'll still win the championship... this is coming from someone who isn't really a fan of him.
Pit Row
I thought the best man did win.
Why would you praise him yet not call a bad performance such?
Yep! Energy & skill can ride around a slight jiggle for 1 minute.
It’s the energy required to make it work for 20 minutes which is more difficult
The huntah delta (tm)...how far ahead of big bro is he in pace. If the delta inverts, our moto universe may implode.
Jett didn’t crash twice
What a dumb way to shoehorn Deegan into a thread
Can't remember the last time folks drank more of their own kool-aid. This is not something you can fix in a week.
Hunter said he felt good until he went down. No issue with the bike he mentioned. Jett is done being Mr. Niceguy. I only can think that was directed @JA21.
Crashed (tangled) into a tuffblock...
crashed in the sand...
I don’t believe the first one to be a “crash” but if it helps your narrative have at it I guess
Thread creator here. Welp, guess we can end that theory. I don’t think he was 100% last night but he’s back to being at the top.
Kind of strange when Jett loses he is not100% but when others lose they just ain’t good enough.
Hi
Damn, maybe I was on to something after all. I never would want to see him hurt. He was riding on the edge, making mistakes all night.
