Sexton - Red Bud

If he had looked better at Pala before the crash I would put him top 3 but I think 4-6 is more realistic,  all things considered

I voted second. He won’t beat Jett, but he’ll be right there with Hunter and Eli, imo.  

I think he finishes around 5th place, but he will be fighting for the podium in a week or two for sure.

Well if he actually tries hard, my guess is that he will most likely hit the deck....AGAIN. 😆

If he is making an appearance solely because KTM is pressuring him to, then my guess is he gets around 6th if he gets a decent start.

Dude was riding without goggles, what did you expect?

5-2 for 3rd overall 

Barcia is back but not really anything exciting. Anderson has decided to pack in his season and career on green. Also not exciting. I sure hope having Chase back in the mix adds some excitement to the 450 class. 

I'm noticing when the races start, I'm really wanting to see the 250f's, but kinda just blah on the 450's.

That lack of respect for a multi time champ and second most winning rider behind Jett over the last 3 years is insane. People act like he was slow at pala. Didn't he qualify second?  Hard to judge the speed of a guy without goggles riding behind other 450s.  

Who knows where he will be.  But anywhere from first to 5th is doable and likely.  He is historically pretty good a red bud. 

chase has always been a bit of a mental case...and he's got waaaaay too much drama around himself for him to be truly focused and locked in. I voted 6th-10th. I unfortunately think he's gonna mail it in for outdoors this year.....

Missing so many races I don’t expect him to battle for a podium but I think Barcia got 10th at Southwick so maybe Chase will be battling for 2-3?

Drama surrounding him? ......Woman issues? Dog ate his homework issues? What kind of drama is around him?

He's got money and no worries paying the bills. His bike is prepped and ready, he has a scheduled fitness plan. He pretty much ignores social media and the idiots.

I believe Chase will be just fine. And certainly won't mail in the rest of the season. He's still in the SMX points chase ya know!!

I think he was referring to Chase sitting out all the races since the first round without much explanation and the rumors that he's going to Kawi next year.

I don't think it's exactly the best times under the KTM tent right now.

I think Jett, Eli and Hunter will be ahead, and he'll be a close 4th, with AP and JCoop on his heels.

Chase is battling for a podium and easily top 5 overall. Would be extremely surprised if he came out to run 6th or worse.

I think he is more likely to win the overall than he is to be no threat at all.

Who cares 

I think he'll be just as good as Eli or Hunter on their good days. He'll probably go something like 4-2 for 3rd OA, with his second moto being impressive but not having a chance to beat Jett due to not starting up front with him.

7 people actually think he’s going to win??

Do these people know this sport at all???

Love when people on a motocross forum get upset when other people want to talk about motocross on said forum

Lack of respect is perhaps harsh, the OP asked for our opinion and we gave it

Hard to tell, but with him totally being out of the championship battle, and having what should zero pressure, I think he might surprise everyone and be in the front mixing it up. We are talking about the champ from last year, that did it convincingly, after Jett was out. It will make for a good story line going in.

You make negative comments in every Sexton thread but you act like you don't care? hahaha

Agreed, gotta get ready for that Green Machine!!

"Let AP bye"

The sentiment has definitely turned negative on Sexton.  I say cut him some slack people.  No need to be so critical on a past champ who works his ass off.  He has the speed and he’ll get it figured out.   

You mean the guy who qualified 2nd, only behind Jett, who hasn’t lost an overall yet this year? But you’re saying he didn’t look good before the crash?  I guess Eli, J-Coop, Hunter, Pless and the rest of the crew must’ve look absolutely awful to you then.

If its not about Deegan, he doesn't care. Let him have his fun. Jett will be showing Deegz the fast way around the track next summer 

He's my favorite current rider and even I'm a little put off by his disappearance this summer. Never actually saying what he injured. Once he knocks the rust off he's got all these guys covered except for Jett. I could see a 4-3 or a 4-2 at Red Bud

😆

Worth listening to the Lewis interview.
