Despite not qualifying for the main, I was impressed with his riding and his attitude in the LCQ. He was far back after his crash and it was obvious he wasn’t going to get close to qualifying. G remounted, got on the gas, and never stopped charging. It may have been difficult to see on the broadcast, but he pushed hard until the finish line.

You better be pushing hard if you’re a factory rider missing the main event.

It wasn’t that long ago that Hunter got to watch Jett race the main at A1…from the seats.

Shit happens & I was completely bummed for Garrett. But, guess what? He’ll be back and he will surprise us. Even El Hombré was bummed. A1 is a mean ol’ bitch sometimes.

I watched him the entire race after his crash. Very nice to see a rider push to the end knowing it’s futile to make the main.

None of this would have happened if he wasn't 17 minutes late for his photoshoot. 😔

Jason had health problems, and I don’t recall that Jorge’s actions were well received by either the team or the fans.

Shit happens. I'm sure he's bummed but Garrett looks good on the 450 and he'll prove he belongs up there soon enough.
