Will Jett be ready?

Imagine the head games when he beats everybody and he’s not 100%.

When Webb found out Jett was out he decided to switch back to the “25 chassis. Their level of preparedness might not change but their confidence level would definitely go up if they find out he’s not ready or there’s setbacks. 

So Jett wants to hedge on his return in order to give the competition more confidence?

Hunter, Prado, Tomac, and Chase will need to sweep a few races early if they think they will have a chance to win the title. Jett won't be 100% at the beginning. If the others kind of split the wins, that will work to Jett's advantage.

Odds are good that Hunter wins the first three races IMO.

Can we see him on the 450 first please? I have very high expectations for Deegan, no doubt. His fitness and work ethic/mindset and talent will absolutely carry him to good results over the next years. But the last time we have seen him on the 450 he battled with Craig and Breece. (he had one good main though). While it was SX and while he will obviously better in MX there were also multiple comments like "He'll dominate WSX and on the 450, the field isn't ready for him" 

Why does everyone expect him to immediately be super comfortable on the 450? The same bike Tomac absolutely struggled on last year by the way. I think he'll have very good weekends, maybe even battle for the overall but also some real struggle weekends. I don't think he'll be a championship contender in his first year. 1-2 overalls? Yeah I could see that.

Listening to Jett in this segment at Nashville concerns me…. A very tentative “I would say yes”.  And “ you never know”.  Not nearly as positive as others make it sound.  Still seems like it’s possible he’s there, but not 100%.

Plenty of people acting like Deegan is going to go out there and be the next GOAT as well, meanwhile that’s not a given. Duality of man I suppose. 

So many smooth-brained takes that it almost induces second-hand embarrassment. I don’t know why people just can’t be excited for a great summer in the 450 class. Instead people want to take sides like some Chevy vs Ford debate.

First, he’s significantly better outdoors than he is in Supercross. Second, the 450 he rode in WSX likely had very little test time in sx, they were international races that don’t really mean anything and he clearly improved his supercross game between then and the 26 sx season. He will probably struggle in 27 supercross a little bit but outdoors is his bread and butter. He’s a lot like James was and isn’t afraid to ride at the absolute limit. He has the skills to back that style up as well as we have seen in past seasons. Plus, he was on the ground significantly less last year than the year before while still working everyone. He’s going to be a problem for Jett and Hunter and they’re going to have to contend with getting ridden hard because that’s just his style.

It's gonna be an awesome summer for. I'm just holding on to any predictions now until the racing happens. I'm also trying to contain my excitement a bit, the last couple years never really turned out like they should have been, specially not last year.

I would think at this point they’re planning on him being there at Pala. If they know he’s not ready the confidence level will go up. If it was me you’d see nothing but lunch videos and little to no riding updates regardless of my condition.

Is Lars still saying he’ll be back for SX, or is that line of bs finally played out 

He never said he would be back for SX.

From back in January. 

Lars Lindstrom:

“Yeah, I think I'm pretty confident that we'll see both of them back in supercross at some point. Jett's recovery is going incredible. That bone that he broke in his foot, the talus bone, is a really important bone, basically that's your main platform for the first thing that the tib and fib [tibia and fibula] touch. So, for that to be really healed is important. He's been doing everything possible, you know, as far as hyperbaric chamber and all the tools and tricks that that we have with Doc G and with the doctors that he had. So, it's been speeding up the recovery process quite a bit, just like it did with his knee [last year]. And that's the cool part. He's in there every day trying to get better. And Jo's been doing the same thing. And luckily, Jo's surgery was really well done. Really happy with that. And I think that he feels so good that I think he'll be back...I wouldn't say that he'll be back for the first East Coast [SX race]. We still don't have a clear answer from his doctors when they think it'll be, but he had some scans done this week, and we should know more pretty soon.”

I seem to remember him giving Hunter all he could handle a couple of times in both SX and MX a few years ago.  Was that his rookie year?

All he could handle? Did we watch the same seasons? 🤣

Hunter was a league above everyone that year, won SX with 7 or 8 wins. He won outdoors with 2x DNFs. Deegan absolutely destroyed the field at Washougal though which came out of nowhere. I think he also won Redbud when Hunter DNFd.

Odds are good that Hunter wins the first three races IMO.

I watched the Aus SX live and he went ok.

People get carried away.

Needs to learn how to ride the 450 and less rev limiter stuff.

He will go ok outdoors but I believe rookie mistakes and will get caught up in games like he did with Joey on the Gold Coast.

The mental gymnastics the Lawrence camp is doing to protect Jett from showing up to Pala and getting beat by Deegs is certainly something.
