When 18 comes back

Goes for wins but not at all cost.

Just a more stacked field. 

Will DV finally admit that the gate is more stacked than it was back when he was racing? 

That’s an assumption that bench racing nor debating will never resolve. 

I would not be shocked if Jett won his first race back. 

Not worrying about the championship can be liberating.

This may sound funny coming from an Aussie Lawrence fan, but if this championship continues with the party it currently has, I’d prefer if Jett sat it out until Outdoors.

Team tactics: they’re not just for the MXdN…

I told my wife that, it's shitty to say but on one hand the racing is way more exciting without Jett. Obviously it sucks to see him out injured but everyone else seems more hungrier out there. Everyone is racing like they believe they can win. Jett is so dominant that he snuffs it out of them.

I wouldn't doubt it. Although I'd love to see Tomac, Jett, Hunter and Chase having some real close battles.

We need this at least once before ET retires. 

...Deegan will be in 450's and smoke him ? 🤔...😁

I agree, me and a friend were saying exactly this, he doesn’t need to ruin our dreams yet.

How much are you willing to bet on this? 

to broaden the question: do you think he will also smoke sexton, Tomac and hunta?

We need Jett back. More competition is always better racing. Heck, we need all of the riders back.

We always want the fastest riders on the track, it forces everyone else to bring their "A" game. Although, it can get boring sometimes by lap 3 when Jett's racing.

Maybe a controversial opinion, but people might want to go back and check the stats. Jett has not shown true dominance at all in 450SX to this point. When he's there, he has been a top contender for sure, but by no means has he come close to making it boring with his dominance. Outdoors is a different story, but I think he's being overhyped a bit in SX.

Wouldn’t it be safe to say they’ll be doing both?

They certainly wanna win and where & when it’s necessary or possible do anything they can to help Hunter (assuming he’s in a title chase), should that opportunity arise, I can certainly see Jett doing whatever he can to help his brother.
