Chase announcement - “I’ve decided to retire from professional motorcycle racing. I’ve also decided to enroll in Sunny Acres nursing home and will be taking no calls or interviews.”

Class act, but going 1-2 as brothers.. it doesn't get any better than this. That family should be proud of what they have accomplished

Jett is an absolute monster…. Almost nothing can keep him from figuring out how to win.

Yeah. but none of you self-proclaimed good guys were keeping this energy for Kitchen last week. That's my issue, you are so hypocritical.

Kitchen grenaded the title picture with a boneheaded 1st lap pass attempt. Deegan was forced into a position where simply winning wouldn't earn him the title. Any self-respecting man would do what he needs to do to give himself a shot of winning the title, especially in the scenario where he is by far the most deserving.

fuck off with that shit!

Jett is the most bummed championship I've ever seen. Taking it from his brother like last year and most every head to head race has got to take a toll. Good thing they have a strong family.

How am I wrong? Up until moto 2 last week, Deegan was doing nothing but winning in a clean fashion and it would've been a non-controversial walk in the park to the title. But then Kitchen decides, for the first time in his career, he's going to try a block pass, and fails miserably, grenading the points leader. Now, Deegan is put into a position, not by his own doing, in which simply winning the final round won't guarantee him the title. Of course he's going to play games and try everything he can to win.

Clean fashion up until moto 2 last week?  Have you forgotten Deegan smashing Davies in Denver?  Deegs just gettin’ some karma.

Concerning that they aren't saying anything about Sexton. Hope he's OK.

As a fan, I don't like this family talk. I want the race to have integrity as opposed to the results not reflecting the full effort of each rider.

 If competitors are not trying their hardest, it defeats the purpose of a professional race.

Easy solution. The others need to get better. A LOT better if they want to win anything straight up the coming 5 or more years.

What are you talking about? He did try his hardest. He felt bad for hunter but still went for the win and beat tomac. If he wasnt giving his full effort he would have not passed tomac and let hunter win the championship, but he didnt do that. He tried his hardest but still felt bad for his brother. You read into it completely wrong. What part of him putting on a huge push at the end to make up 4 seconds in 2 laps to pass tomac and win the championship made you think he didnt put in his best effort?

I don't know why this would need to be said, but I would suggest not speaking ill of riders that have been injured and are in an unknown status. Someone has already been clicked because of this, please don't be the next one.

Yaa I know what you’re saying, I noticed he was hauling ass down that straight too, I just don’t see how they can control their speed down a straight like that. In a SX rhythm, it’s easier to enforce wheels on the ground imo.

They just showed Chase on backboard being driven off.  That does not look good.  Feel terrible for him.  Hope it’s just precautionary.  Prayers

Everytime Eli gets beat by Jett, it reminds me of RC slowly killing off MC and MC trying harder and harder and it just not going his way. I don’t think the KTM is going to do Eli any favors either.

Easy to forget there was a time Hunter nearly retired from injuries. Jett was a passenger for all of that turmoil, he saw how much work it took to get back to full strength. These are the thoughts I imagine Jett has when he rips another title from Hunters grasp. But kudos to him for giving it his all and staying true to himself and showing his talent when it counts.

Not even mentioning sexton is such bullshit for the broadcast.... report he's been he's transported to the hospital, say he's in your thoughts and prayers, something..... to just pretend nothing happened is so wrong and disrespectful.....

That interview really reveals Jett's psyche -- he wanted Hunter to win.

Not being an asshole at all but Hunter needs to be better.
