Cause he beat Vialle like a drum for 2 years straight, he even admitted it, and to be honest everyone else on the gate.  We will...

In the 250’s on tracks Vialle has never raced. But yes I can’t wait to see MX start, I’m tired of bench racing lol.

Come on man…really?  That’s weak since they have both raced the same number of Nationals on these tracks…But I’m with you lets get to the races already! Sometimes on here reading some of these threads is like watching The View….just a bunch of old cackling hens blindly pushing narratives that don’t matter….3 days!

lol isn’t that the truth.

Jett is the best motocrosser on the planet. His main competition has been the old guard. 

Always fun to see someone come up who could actually beat the guy straight up on his best day. Especially with the recent crop of lackluster American amateurs. Exciting times. Hype is off the charts.

Chase is the next american hero...following ELI!

 

he's just under a little mental "care and maintenance" at this stage of his career.

Seriously chase runs jett's pace ...but makes a few more mistakes ......................that's all.

I don't like the kid, either, but if you don't think he's going to make a splash in the class, you're seriously letting your personal feelings about him cloud the reality of his abilities on a motorcycle.

We need a villain in the sport and we have it with Haiden.  I would much rather see Tomac, Chase, or really anyone win the championships, but having Haiden in the fight makes it far more fun.  Watching Cole handle him at Salt Lake was almost as good as Kenny winning the title.

I think 99% of MX fans loved watching Davies smack Degandashian ass last season and this season's last race.

I think Deegan has the drive and tenacity to figure things out and eventually challenge Jett to a level that only Hunter and prior years Chase have been able to do (at least in MX). His biggest issue will be starts. I don't see him ever being good enough to start in 7th every week and chase down/pass Jett for the lead. He's gonna need to figure out how to start up front with him.

This is going to be the first time that he won't be on the best bike in the class... When he raced 85 and Supermini they fixed him a place with KTM after that he got a 250cc rocket from Star Racing Yamaha...
