Sexton and KTM

What a turnaround from not being able to go through the whoops to destroying outdoors and now being untouchable in SX.

I sure wish he would stay at KTM, bike looks flawless indoors and out. And having AP as your team mate is a plus. 

I honestly think the supposedly move to Kawi is because of PMGs financial circumstances. 

It will be interesting to see how adaptable he is on the green machine and if they will do everything he requests. Time will tell ..

After he decided to leave Honda for KTM he magically started to ride better and better on the Honda to.

No matter what bike/team he will be on the main issue will always be between his ears.

PMG might not make it to the end of the year so I’m not surprised he’s leaving at all

Or maybe (just maybe wink wink) there were legitimate bike setup issues to Chase's liking and it took a while for him and the team to resolve whatever issues he was having.....

Is there a reason he's wearing his hat backwards on the podium now?  Probably reading too much into it but, ever since the kawi talk came up he's been doing it.

"And having AP as your team mate is a plus."

That's just what I was thinking, he was so helpful yesterday. And at, like, every race.

He’d always done that as a kid. He mentioned the reason about a month ago or so.

This has to be a consideration right? He re-signs with KTM, come fall they disappear, then what? Budgets are done, teams are set. It would be hard for someone to just sign him. I'm sure someone would make it work, but options would be extremely limited, now he has some say.

Untouchable might be just a bit of an overstatement.  He got beat last week.

With every rider that can beat him out he should have had the title wrapped up rounds ago yet….. he still might get the title! It’s not over till the fat lady sings. Man the guys fast but makes to many small mistakes.

Nah, Tumic always post the same comments about Sexton’s mindset, either he has an issue with Chase or he just feels the need to repeat himself in each thread about him

Aight, so after a stellar MX season last year what happened to Chase? His bike looked dialed outdoors last year and he was haulin ass. 

Now that sentiment has flipped. Now I'm seeing on Pitbits that he's using a steering damper and even fork warmers. They are obviously searching for something. What happened? Why not just use the old settings you won on?

As far as I can remember Sexton hasn't ever beaten the 18, so yeah it ain't the bike it's his mind until proven otherwise.  And of course our minds are the most powerful aspect of everything we do in life, so if he doesn't have that figured out the results won't happen.

Kind of like ET sees Jett as the rabbit and he is the greyhound at the track. Going to be some good racing. Too bad Chase isn’t there.

I think steering damper was there last year.

A1?

I believe the full list is A1, SMX Charlotte 2023, SMX Texas 2024, Hangtown ‘24 and Southiwick Moto 2 ‘24, Foxborough ‘24, Seattle ‘24, SLC ‘24, SF ‘24, and technically Glendale ‘25 even though up until Jett went out injured, Chase had finished behind him in all the triple crown races.
