Sexton

Not sure there has been a race this season besides last week that Sexton hasn’t went down.  Maybe needs to be a change on the bike.

How are you one of the elite riders on Earth and wreck every week? He is mind boggling.

Ugh this is maddening it looks so much like his last year on Honda!

He won SX title his last year on Honda. 

Such is life for chase sexton and his fans.

He wen't from 17th to 3 seconds out of first in like 4 laps the last race tonight.  It was insane.  

Then he cases one jump gets passed by 3 guys immediately and instantly fades back.  Perplexing

To me it looks like he’s backing off as soon as he feels like there might be a big get off coming.

In my humble and ignorant knowledge of riding a dirt bike at any level, he needs to stop searching for answers in the bike and just ride.  He doesn't need to be the fastest every night or win every race.  I suspect he sees this potential high water mark and seeks it every night rather than taking what he can get.  It's like he expects the bike to be perfect all the time rather than thinking "how can I make up for what the bike lacks".  Take a page from Webb (opportunistic) or Roczen (doesn't make a ton of drastic changes to the bike).   He needs a major mental shift.  Either way, as a Tomac fan, this is great as I see Sexton as the one guy who can possibly beat him on pure speed and Sexton is blowing it.

Apparently he's testing a ribi front end on Monday.

I agree with this sentiment - but I would caveat it slightly, knowing that this is his first season on that bike, there will always been a period of adapting & setting up. 

The way he talks about the team - how it reminds him of the Geico days and how much he likes it there - makes me think that maybe, just maybe he’s there for the long-term. 

If he views it as a long term partnership, it’s possible that he’ll realise the bike will never be perfect and he’ll focus on maximising what he can. As a fan of SX, I’m excited.

Where have we seen that behaviour from someone being on a kawi before? 😄

It’s his riding style. Some guys are just crashers. Not everyone can be perfect and I think the sample size of Chase is large enough at this point to know what we are going to get.

He is one of my favorite riders, but like others have said, it gets frustrating to watch. When he's "on" nobody can touch him, except for maybe Jett. I honestly think he needs a mental coach. A qualified ex-pro rider with championships under his belt. Someone who can get in his head, and flick that switch, and keep Chase in the zone. He'll go around in circles, chasing that perfect setting for his bike, that simply doesn't exist. Johnny O'Mara comes to mind as a good fit for this. Someone that can convince him that when he sees a bike in front of him, imagine it's some triple digit guy that has no business being on the track with you.

In the little Sexton/Kawi segment they ran on the broadcast did anyone else catch Sexton say “I could actually turn” when they were talking about changes made to the bike at A1?  Sounds pretty bad at the moment.

He'll let us know when he's quitting by wearing his hat backwards
