Here’s the transcripts. Starts around 32:00 on Apple Podcasts. 

“Anything happen there at Chambers this week at all?

I wasn't there this week. I was there, actually I was there on Monday, I'm not going to say I wasn't there. I was not there.

I'm not going to elaborate on anything else. I rode my motos on Monday, did see Chisholm Tickle there, but Chase wasn't there that day, so yep, that's all.

Okay, moving on.

Yep, moving on.”

I took that as Big Lew Job Swap reference. Lewis was supposed to be going to Chambers this week. Maybe they knew and didn’t want to let the cat out of the bag? IDK. Thanks for the reference though. 

Edit to add: after listening to that part again…I do think they were referencing the Chase injury.

It was only a matter of time on that bike. He should have took the Prado route and backed it way down before the inevitable crash happened.

Didn’t he have his hat backwards during Arlington track walk? Lol.  

But for real tho I hope he’s not hurt too bad. It’s better with everybody in the mix

Everyone acting like he's not really injured or has a history of milking injuries can get fucked. Dude has driven himself into the ground and kept going far more than most. 

If you're referring to my comment, I meant sketch as in it could be worse than they’re leading on. But as someone said later on, the vagueness does also mean it could just be “banged up”. We never got the full scope of his banged up KTM injury but he later said in interviews that it was way worse than anyone knew, so who knows.

Are you saying Kawi took him out for the hubub brewing that maybe the bike/team are the cause of some issues? 

I'm on board with that. 

Very, very convenient. 

Yakuza involvement?

This sucks…. I was expecting some improvement this weekend.  Not a win, but a better representation of the rider he is.  

Hope it’s not serious.

Why would Star want him?  They have Webb, Degan next year will likely just as competitive as him. If they want a third rider, there’s no way they’d pay him what he’d want. J Coop would be a way better third rider option. Only way he ends up on a Yamaha is if Degan does his own team, and even then it’s a stretch.  Which shocked no one is talking about as a side note.

Sucks to see. Here's hoping its not serious.

I know he missed a lot of outdoors, but I remember a crazy stat on how many SX's he's started in a row. Can someone confirm his last SX injury/race missed?

Not directed at anyone in particular, just a lot of that sentiment floating around and it's not fair to the guy at all. The vague statement does have me a little concerned. There's only so many things you can do to your hip and I would expect him to try to ride with most soft tissue stuff. To know you're out with two days to go before the race......

Chase on a sorted out bike will ruin Deegan on a sx track. Deegan is beating up on Max Antsie, Mosiman, and Ryder D.

Well call up Bobby and tell him you know better on how to spend his money.

He’s already beaten some of the top guys on a 450, including Eli.  And how much better is Eli now compared to Chase?

Like when he was "banged up" on the KTM last year and missed a bunch of races without ever saying what was wrong?  I hope he is not hurt, but if feels very similar.

That was a particularly bad night for Eli and a far cry from the comfortable on the KTM version of him we've seen so far in 2026.

Deegan fan logic is that Deegan gets more credit for beating tomac on a new bike in an exhibition race than sexton gets for winning a 450 SX and outdoor title. Deegan will obviously have him covered when he moves up based on that WSX 3rd place finish. You're a hater if you don't think so. DNGR.

We already knew the bike was worse for outdoors. Daytona isn't even true outdoors so this is concerning. I don't think the bike does well at high speed. The separation of Chase and kawi is on the horizon and don't say it can't happen because it totally can, as we've already seen...

Your think is wrong.

Was also Haiden’s first ever race on a 450 if we’re making excuses.

Haha. These people make me laugh. No idea of the sport. Just need to inject little Deegs into everything. 

"oh WSX he was the man". 

Really? Ando first rides. Pretty much Craigs speed. Craig beat him in more motos than the other way around. Where does Craig Finish in the series everyone peaks for?

"But little Deegs got a third"....
