Chase appeared disengaged from the start—almost as if he lacked the drive to compete. His performance lacked urgency and intent, which is concerning for someone expected to contend. Unless something changes quickly, this season is looking like a one-man show dominated by Jett.
I genuinely believe Chase will throw intentional disadvantages and create a deficit for himself so he has an excuse. Sort of a fall back.
Eli would’ve ran back to that bike and kept going.
The champ is back !

like when Tomac fell in a slow corner in SX and his pants came undone so he just sat there and took his time to get his pants fixed and just wasn't in any hurry to get going. 😂

I don't understand the down votes to the OP. Seems accurate. If you disagree, discuss it. Chase seemed disconnected, the longer his career goes the more headcase he appears. The kawasaki move may be brought on by KTM's financial instability, but he always pisses and moans about his scooter.
Chase looks totally different when Jett isn’t there. I don’t mean that Jett is in his head; I mean without Jett in the picture Chase knows he can ride at a “safe” level and get the job done against anyone else. When he has to catch/keep up with Jett he’s riding above his comfortable pace and makes mistakes. There’s a lot of evidence to support this.
Chase’s other big problem, I believe, is that he sometimes makes poor race craft mistakes at critical times.
Yeah your right Dr. Phil, for some unexplainable reason, he looked slower after he had to take his goggles off on the first lap and get roosted in the face with dirt and gravel being blown at his eyes at hurricane type speeds from the rear wheel of 65 horsepower bikes.
Now that Chase is out of it, he will probably start doing better. Once he made the mistakes and knew he lost the SX championship, he rode better than he had all season.
I think there is something to that. When the pressure is off he rides really well. Last year it was the ride at Hangtown then all of the season after Southwick.
That is exactly what I meant with my above post. I almost think if he subconsciously forfeits, he’s working from a deficit and rides better. Same with clicking off wins those last few rounds of Supercross.
Yep X2
If you didn’t see this coming you need to pay closer attention.
That SX season was savage. Huge pressure, massive stress. No rest.
The SX championship battle hangover is real. We’ve seen it countless times now.
He don’t want that Colorado Hawg getting caught in the chain my guy
Seems like motocross fans used to discuss motocross on this site. Now, it seems like discussion is frowned upon, and folk just vote on whether or not your post was seen as favorable to their favorite rider.
Yes, this so-called self-moderation is seriously flawed.
Not sure why anyone would give Vitards the ability to moderate/censor others.
Seems like chase landed on the rear brake... crashed... then went into meltdown mode... didn't ride the second moto, which was the nail in the coffin championship wise..
You can't win the championship at rd 1, but you sure can lose it!
How can you judge how hard of a hit that was, as to state he was in condition to keep going? That last tabletop is a high speed area, if you hit the ground like Chase did I doubt you will be typing that nonsense.
Pit Row
Chase is like “is like a box of chocolates”…….
If I hit the ground like chase did, its a two to six month layoff, whereas I do a lot a soul searching about why I even ride.
What we witnessed yesterday was not just a crash or a bad moto—it was the energetic conclusion of Chase Sexton’s 2025 title bid. Subconsciously, he shut it down. There was no intent to crash or fail, just a quiet resignation that surfaced in real time. That moment placed the 2025 race season and all the “peripheral” drama firmly in the rearview mirror.
And honestly? That might be the best thing for him. The pressure is off now. What remains is a chance to ride freely, reclaim joy, and—ironically—put together some of his best motos of the year.
