It's all going to come down to starts between Jett and Prado. They will probably be 1-2 on the start most races. If Jett gets the start he walks away as Prado holds up the rest of the field for a couple of laps. If Prado gets the start though things will get interesting behind him for a couple of laps and that will be the opportunity for someone to try to rough up Jett.

I have a hard time believing a world champion will be holding up anyone in outdoors, Supercross? Sure

It's nonstop in the news here in the midwest about small towns not wanting data centers popping up, buying up farmland and siphoning water from our already low lakes. All so we can get bullshit posts like this.

Fuck AI.

before the data center problems, there was "cloud" storage facilities and crypto mining doing the same thing. stop local politicians from giving them sweetheart deals on leases and utilities for future tax revenue to waste and it can be stopped before it starts in a community.

Can we not all just sit back and enjoy the competition,  instead of wishing for the downfall of someone  ??

Hopefully this season will bring multiple winners.

And just because Jett doesn't win them all, it doesn't mean he'll be found somewhere on skid row wondering where it all went wrong.

All so black diesel bomber doesn’t have to think critically when making a post on a motocross forum.

Why? This isn't his first season in the US we have some data to go on. He may be better this season but he's not keeping up with Jett outdoors.

I VTT'd it into my computer out loud so they are my words, and then I cut/paste it into AI to proofread and correct grammar.  Took me about 20min during my conf call that was muted on my phone.

It’s a good topic, well done Bomber. I’m excited for the  up coming Nationals to start. If everyone makes it to the gate heathy, the season should be one to remember. 💯

Didn’t he beat Jett in France fresh off the 22-0. At least in the Qualy moto

Yep Deegan moving up is really good. First we had the Lawrences and then Deegan, it's been pretty much a one man show for the past 5 years or so.

This gotta be the year where Shimoda steps up and gets it done, right? Like I fully expected Shimoda to take over when Jett moved up, but he always only looked incredible once he was out of the points already. I do expect him and Hymas to be the guys to beat this year, with Davies having some strong weekends but also some struggle weekends, it's his first full outdoor season after all.

 

Still pulling for Kitchen, 2024 was pretty good, I’d say skill and momentum wise he’s only a tick behind Jo

Yeah, Jett crashed on the first lap and came back to 5 or 6th. In the 2nd moto Jett and Kenny rode in their own dimension though.

With Prado it's all about what version of him shows up I think. 2024 Prado can battle for this title and totally dominate on some weekends.. Question is if we will see this version of him again with him shifting a lot of focus to SX and not having the whole winter to prepare for motocross. It's impossible that he won't be better than last year, that's for sure.

Just based on the last years and with Hunter only getting better I'd expect Jett and Hunter to battle for 1st and 2nd most weekends while Prado, Tomac and Deegan (and Chase depending on he feels on Kawi) battle for the podium. Could turn out completely different tho, I'm just excited to see how it all turns out this summer!

Prado also got his doors blown off at matterley.

He is yet to beat Jett on pure speed.

Plessinger beat Jett in that moto as well, do you think AP can run with Jett?

I don't put enough stock in a qualifier for a one-off international team race to think about it, I thought you were talking about Moto 1.

Yeah! Everyone knows about Jett’s recovery setbacks! You guys knew about his recovery setbacks right? Everyone’s talking about it!! (Nobody has talked about it and I have never heard anything about it)

You know there are a lot of people who have connections and friends of these riders or actually get to hang out with them on occasion?  I knew about it day one but respect their privacy until it gets to the point where everyone around town is talking about it, so now it's in the open in my circle.  Feel free to press your local media guy for an update, or you can tell ML or Lewis to PM me and I can tell them exactly what happened if they don't already know.  Most likely they do know, but just aren't talking about it.

Nothing was written by chatgpt, just grammar correction from occasional VTT's translations.  ChatGPT wouldn't know about the injury setback, the beef between Prado/Jett, or any of the conversations I've been a part of in my post about hearing his camp talk about how Hunter might be the better rider on a 450 some day..  Those are all my words and thoughts.  

Bench racing and shit talking is very welcome.

I'm the employer.  Been self employed for 22 years and I get dragged into way too many customer conference calls that I don't need to be on.  Work hard and some day you can be a business owner too.

Good post, lengthy but good.  I sure hope we have more than a 1-2 dog fight toward the end as well. That seems to be the gist of the post and I agree. I’m personally rooting for Eli but I think Jett is the best I’ve ever watched race in person. Perfect season, no. Champ more than likely. 

I find it funny that guys with the attention span of a child feel like they need to comment and or give this thread a thumbs down. My opinion, if you can’t read through the entire post then you should probably refrain from posting in it. You andd nothing to convo.  Also, it seems as though some have not sat through a conference call before. A majority of the time they’re a waste of time, unless you’re the one doing the talking. 

Again rooting for Eli, but I don’t see any of these guys beating Jett.

And what exactly did I post that I made up?  If you think any of it is made up feel free to have ML contact me and I will provide details and confirm everything is fact, as long as he doesn't divulge the source or details.  You guys really think Jett can keep something like this from seeping out in public?  It's already out there in the public which is the only reason I mentioned it.  There are tons of people who know about it around town, the town where Jett has been staying.

 You are barking up the wrong tree and making false accusations about my post Mr. Vital moderator.  Feel free to have your boys contact me if you really want to look stupid for calling me out.
