Kinda surprising to me that Kitchen hasn't received more criticism this season. I always root for him but everyone always talks about him like he's a championship guy and a lock for a factory 450 ride. He's a race winner on his best days but those days don't come often ennough and his lack of consistency is really strange, especially this season. Dropping like a strone this moto. Can't help but think he'd be labelled as unfit or be accused of giving up/having no heart if he was from Europe 

For sure he’s been underwhelming

Is there a more pointless section of track in this series than the woods section here?

Come on Marchbanks! 

“Garret is marching to the front”- James 

That one just fell in his lap earlier this moto! I hope we get 10 more years of James announcing.

Deegs simply has better and smoother lines than Jo late in this moto.

45 seconds up on 3rd is devious.

He did an amazing job of linking the corners together

Honestly, no one in this class has shown that they’re a championship guy behind Haiden. Jo is the only one to show he can handle the pace to lead consistently, but he clocks in midway when it’s too late. The rest of the class is wildly inconsistent.

50+ on Vialle is just remarkable.

Deegs was 10 seconds faster than Jo in just the last 5 minutes of that moto.

When teams like star sign riders like pierce, are they signing them just looking for a random race win or two or do they sign these people thinking they’ll bring home a championship for the team?  Genuine question, because when I look at riders like Thrasher, Smith, and Brown, I see riders that are guaranteed to give a flash or two of brilliance that’ll lead to a win or two, but never actually finish a season

With Vialle leaving, if Kitchen doesn’t figure out, next summer is going to be a battle of the teammates between Jo and Hymas. 

Those were the only ones who could put a candle to Deegan (aside from Jmart 😂)

Vialle would be a fool to not take that MXGP ride at this point.
