I thought maybe maybe it’s been pressure in the past causing him to hit the deck so often…but being on a different bike, combined with an asterisk season. (big hitters out) He’s still throwing wins away. Why!?

It's how he rides, always been. Sometimes it shows more, sometimes less depending on how good the bike works for example. Or track conditions. Seems to be worse on KTM. On Honda it was mostly front end washing out. Now it's all over the place, but few wash outs. 

It has never been about mental or pressure. If so, you can put RJ, Mcaddo, Hunter, AC, Jordon Smith down as mentally weak.

Showed such potential on the KTM once he got it dialed. That’s why im so confused.. fast lap genius, yet here we are.

450 MX and SX champ. 

If he rode at 95% he would never crash and wouldn't have either of those titles. I'm a sexton fan and am finally at the acceptance DABDA stage of grief.

Doubt that but is there any position he could be in after first turn where you can say he can't still win it? His sendy rides from the back are fun to watch.

Going to be tough…. But he responds to adversity.  If he starts 10-12, watch out!  He’s got a second a lap on these guys and just might show it.


But sadly, he could also yard sale in the process.  Now we find out.

Im scratching my head at Chase. He was riding amazing, caught Webb, made one mistake and then lost 15 second and 3 positions in 4 laps. Flat tire? The way he was rolling through the turns near the end of the race looked really off to me.

Just speculating but looked to me like he friend the clutch or something, bike was laboring bad in the corners. Almost like he stalled when he was on cooper but clutch probly left the building…. He didn’t look right rest of way

I thought for sure he stalled or hit neutral. Definitely looked like a bike issue.

The last 6 laps he slowed down, that was right after he got right behind Webb. Guessing he is sore and the adrenaline wore off, or some kind of bike issue. At least he rode well overall.

For sure, dude ls a beast and speed/fitness is definitely not the issue.
