Did anyone catch up with Kitchen after the race to discuss what happened in moto 2? I haven’t seen anything on that one yet.

722 asked Jo what Deegan said to him on the gate.  Jo said that Deegan told him "you have no idea what's about to come" and Jo replied "I don't speak english".  Jo just doesn't give a shit.  Ha.

Imagine trying to psych someone out and they tell you n English they don’t speak English. What is your next move? Nothing, checkmate!

Hope Chase is good. Regardless of history, he’s always bounced right up from his crashes. That’s a scary one.

I haven’t seen any footage oddly enough.  They say just a concussion and shoulder.  I don’t know how RyderD came out ok, at least put a neck collar on him after getting landed on.  I was going to protest and tell Vital to stop watching but I didn’t think it would help the medical crew make any changes.

There’s a post from WhiskeyThrottle (I think that’s who I saw it through) of Ryder walking around in the pits virtually unscathed later that night if you can believe it. Said he was lights out for a moment but otherwise seemed ok and in good spirits.


Another vid of Chase’s slam is on X. That one was pretty brutal, but he’s made posts on his own accounts now about the injuries you mentioned.


Wild night of racing and injuries across the board for sure.

The latest with JuJu is it’s gonna be a while to recover but he is already going to come back strong. 

A few dudes broke their necks and didn’t even realize it like MC, JA, Dunge, and many others.  I was pissed to see DF and other with a collar but they still had him sitting upright in the mule holding his head.  Worse than a crash is worrying they aren’t being careful enough that isn’t any hardship for 10 minutes with them anyway.  It’s more scary for the fans to drive them off with no precautions.

Falling in the sand was quiet payback he got his.

That was the weirdest podium/celebrations ever. I feel so bad for Jett man (I’m sure he’ll be fine…I know). Hunter is probably one of the most level headed dudes out there, but wtf man. Did he even congratulate Jett? Literally out there pouting making Jett feel bad to the point that he wishes he would have done worse lmao. Damn man I like hunter a lot, but I lost a little respect there. 

I guess you can’t understand what it’s like to work equally as hard as the guy next to you and come up short. Validating Jett being upset over Hunter’s disappointment is wild. Hunter wasn’t looking for sympathy he was bummed. That’s all it takes for you to lose respect?

Say it in Japanese even better.  Or Spanish for the hispanic broadcast fans.  No hablo ingles.  And then make fun of him “gringo”.

Deegs tried the Japanese takeout but just got the wasabi “spicy”.

Swap Moto talked to him, but it wasn't brought up.

What happened to DF off the start? That was kinda wild looking. Seems like he’s another rider that can’t catch a break the last few years

Any of y'all would've done the same thing Deegan did. He was put into this position by Kitchen, and if you can't see that, you're lying to yourself.

Yeah I saw Ryder’s pit video and Chase’s crash.  It’s not like the medics should be extra careful about future issues.  At least 1 rider Moreau already had a lawsuit against them moving him and not taking basic precautions already filed.  They don’t want to worry the fans but a stretcher and collar shouldn’t be a last resort.

Mitch and Levi responded that it was more of a racing incident, how people used to get away with worse take out moves, and Haiden could have let off the throttle.

What Deegan did was malicious intent that he had to put down Jo to get points and a win which wasn’t Levi’s excuse or situation.  Deegan‘s plan didn’t work but he still had the intention to do harm where Levi just said he was racing hard not on a mission to take out Deegs.  The plan for Deegan was to take out Jo the entire race and threatening harm at the gate/prior which was no possible accident and is called premeditated.

was i the only one that noticed Jett jumping right after the red cross flag… he even looked over afterward 

I saw him do it a couple of laps, surprised there wasn’t a penalty or a thread about it

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.....

Not mentioning him gives the vibe that the riders are more of a number than a person to the broadcast . If you watch football on NBC they’ll report something like truck said “been transported to the hospital and in our thoughts and prayers”. They’ll also report if he’s awake, alert and able to move his arms and legs.
