Sexton and MXON

Edited Date/Time 5/5/2025 2:35pm

If Chase goes to Kawasaki will he race the MXON?  He wouldn't race on the Kawasaki obviously. Racing the KTM will delay testing the Kawasaki for at least 2 weeks and he's famous for his development struggles. Just wondering.

This scenario popped into my head last week and its not good for our team this year. How about Eli changing teams? Same situation. Then if we have a B team of sorts does Haiden even want to be on the team?

Yeah I think MXON will be a disaster for us. Hopefully not.

We'll see if Deegan plays his card...

Kawi sent Eli to Red Bud in '18. They would probably go to Ironman if it worked out.

Deegan will carry the 450 “B” riders to victory with a 1-1 in the Lites class and he will wave the stars & stripes on the top step of the podium.  /sarcasm

Haiden is a beast outdoors. He's got the potential for a legendary ride vs the entire world. I really hope he's on the team. Plus I'm gonna be at the race lol

If you listen to the end of the Lewis interview with Chase at the very end Chase says “I wouldn’t do the mxdn if you know what we brought up “ Or something like that. Like a hint if he goes to Kawasaki he won’t do MXDN . You gotta listen all the way at the end to hear the exact quote .

I feel like regardless of what Eli does in terms of a ride next year he’ll do MXoN and Star will support it. Obviously he’s nearing the end of his career and I don’t think he’d pass up the opportunity for another (and likely his last) MXoN on home soil. Sexton is a different story entirely though..

When was the last time a rider switched brands in the offseason and raced? Dungey in 2011 before 2012 move to KTM?

I don't see Deegan racing MXON this year either.  Those European kids don't take any shit.  They will break your front wheel off for 5th place.

A team with at least Eli and Haiden is solid. Plug in whoever on the other 450. JCoop should be very good this summer

I'd be happy with Eli, AP, and any 250 hot rod.  After the bullshit of the last few years I just want 3 guys that wanna race for the USA anywhere, any time.  They don't have to win...Just be real.

Lots of riders changing teams this year.

While on the same discussion what about Ken Roczen Racing for the USA since he is now an American?

No chance. MXON racers race for the country they were born in. Not where they reside. 

Even though I (and I'm sure Roczen might as well) think he's more American than German now.

I should have said generally. There have been instances when other countries needed riders so someone filled-in. Pastrana, Weeck, Windham etc.

Bigger for MXON is bout Cringelord Deegs. If they put him on the team, I'm UUUUCKING done with this sport. A flush toilet does a better job than Diffy or Rickhead, this SX season sucks the big one, and riders are dumb AF for risking their lives for peanuts. Not hard to just say F'it i'm out at this point.

Damn…. We got some weird ass fans in this sport.

See, I put Loretta’s and mini O’s on my laptop while working just to get a little dirt bike racing fix when I can.  Yeah, Jett and Eli are out, but this has still been a great SX season.  The rest should be back for MX and that is the  beginning of what MXoN means to many of us.

I guess we just see gate drops differently…

I'll take Eli, JCoop, Webb, or even Jmart....Justin put in an amazing performance in '22.  Webb stepped up (or down) and got faster and faster everytime on the track at Matterly and WANTS to be there.....and what if Jmart finds his former speed......could be a damned good team in some combination.

Deegs will be too busy driving his Lambo across the USA at that time
