😂😂

I wonder if his wild excursion into the scaffolding from Des Nations was due to the shock? 😂😂 

On a serious note it brings up the question around JuJu injuries or Ryder D performance in 2025 etc aswell right?. Was Juju taken out durle a bike failure? Ryder D couldn't perform due to the shock? Ryder this season was on another level.

Sexton has won races on the kawi. His championship capabilities are not the same.

Jett or Hunter would win races on the Kawi too. I doubt championships; what they have forged at Honda cannot be done within months, maybe ever at Kawi given Prado/Sexton experience.

And ask the Lawrence's how far off Chase's bike was when he was at Honda. And what RacerX thought about how much better Jett's bike was compared Chase's. They were on the same team lol

100% Keefer rode Jetts and Chases Hondas and was raving about Jetts vet friendly smooth strong power plus awesome balance. He didnt really like Chases set up, super stiff forks and strong power delivery.

The #1 & #96 bikes are tuned to a very special power delivery for their riding styles.

What a quitter, not even trying, so disrespectful to the brand, he could be Spanish.

Entitled behavior.

If he did that he can get fucked. I’ve always been happy to give him the benefit of the doubt because he was one guy who was always busting his ass to be better.


But treating his equipment like that for his own mistakes is just childish. I can understand riders throwing the bike down in frustration / anger if it breaks down on them.


But sending it into the pits where you can potentially injure someone or cause damage to your employers equipment? That is just too much. Especially when his bike wasn’t the reason he was crashing. He has done the same thing on 3x different brands and hundreds of tweaks on each brand. That’s a Chase issue obviously.

Sexton is clearly the biggest "diva" in the paddock. He's run out of alternative teams to sign with, especially since I'm quite sure he thinks he deserves to be the lead rider on a factory team...and if this behavior is true, I doubt any teams would be overjoyed at having him on their bike. 

Sad to see.

Is this confirmed as true? Did he ghost ride the bike.......or did he really tuck the front end and slide into the rig?

he'll be a walking dead on each brand if he keeps his mind set like " it's not my fault" 

if the farmer can't swim it's always the boards short issue  🙄

One thing about this sport : teams will move on from anyone, rc included. 2x even.....there are plenty of guys who will take that spot at Kawi and do big things with it. If I was Kawi id send him home for a round and if he reacted wrong, can him. I also feel sorry for him, I suspect all the times he wrecked and got back on immediately/ didn't sit out may have caused cte like symptoms, wreaking havoc on his balance and mental acuity during times of intense athletic activity. Probably the fastest practice rider in the world and then  has issues on raceday. The behavioral issues also point towards possible traumatic brain injury. Unfortunately.

Chase/Kawasaki will be fine,

Yes, he does have his moments, but think about it, other than a healthy Jett, who is faster than Chase?

Maybe an older Bullet, Coenen, Tiga and a younger Kenny and Eli.

Currently competing? Hunter, Prado and a more experienced Dangerboy can/will run with him.

I still think Chase can win it all this year.

How many rounds has he sat out since Jett moved up with vague 'banged up' injuries and everyone in the media hinting that he could be out there if he wanted to be?

I don’t recall George crashing before he purposely tried to not qualify….so you are trying to compare the fact that George tried to not qualify to the speculation that someone was faking an injury because they didn’t keep you updated daily on their injury…ok
