his front brake lever looked very wobbly. Hoping it was just a bike issue.
Thanks, was wondering the same thing.
The series points leader and all we hear is crickets. 🤔
Shock?
Arm pump?

I thought it looked that way.
I am just starting the post race show now, maybe they will talk about Chase? I do understand all the excitement of Malcolm winning, and not reporting on Chase.
Should have listened and let REP do his suspension.
I didn't see anything on there but was having some technical difficulties with the broadcast toward the end.
Looked like a bike issue more than an injury, but could be wrong. Maybe a slightly bent rotor? I don’t remember them showing him hitting any large jumps after his fall down, but he didn’t look like he was overly comfortable even on the smaller ones.
All I know is after the funky fan to cool the shock on press day, if he had shock issue today, watch out because the theories are going to be interesting. Worse than a rock making a 90 degree turn to hit a throttle body.
At one point on the broadcast it looked like the front brake lever and/or master cylinder was flopping around, but it was difficult to tell for sure.
He was hitting the whoops awkwardly not at pace so whats up with that
Not the best view but looks like Sexton was along for a ride and certainly could have been shock related?
Naw, Sexton just Sextoned that's all.
That’s crazy that sexton folded like that for Mookie. Like who would of guessed that. I still think something had to be wrong
The tuff block out in the track just waiting for mookie like a land mine...
Whether shock related or not, KTM needs to get their suspension issues sorted out. It’s crazy that the WP fork sucks so bad they have to mask them with KYB internals. Then they need to go to extremes just to figure the shock out. It shouldn’t be like this on any of their bikes, let alone their professional riders.
Sexton choked in the woops, bike was ok.
Cough cough
Pit Row
He looked great all day....Malcolm looked incredible during the main, what are you talking about?
I didn’t catch Sexton’s normal line, but it almost looked like he tried to get to the left side of the whoops so he could go way inside on the left-hander and fend off Stewart making a pass on the outside. I don’t think the left side was worked in like the main line.
Edit: I just watched it again, and I’m not so sure…looks like Sexton may have just Sexton-ed it.
Not sure how to break this to you, but Malcolm’s Husky has the same suspension.
I’d say throttle issue. Took a pretty good whack and or bent bars
😄
Whatever happened to him happened at least a couple of laps before Malcolm caught and passed him.
WKYP
Tucked the front in the whoops
That's what I was thinking, too. It suddenly looked like he was nursing it home in some sections but they never stayed with him long enough to get a good look.
Curious to hear what he says when Lewis has his weekly bromantic interview with him. 😄
He was struggling in the whoops before the crash , I wonder if the shock went off before that
Did they not replace WP internals with KYB?
Seemed like the suspension worked great for Mookie? Sextons issues are mental. It has happened 87 times when he is leading.
