hoping there is footage of sexton ghost riding his bike into the pits lol

If I was his mechanic, I would be embarrassed, ashamed and probably looking for another rider to work for...

If any of you guys are Hannah fans, man you would've roasted his ass if there was social media and instant press those days. Everyone would've thought he was the largest crybaby/pussy, but here we are in 2026.

Would Drew Adams have the same results as Romano in these first 4 motos? Hard to say

Drew looked really good and like he took a big step up in speed before he got injured again.

He’s going to suffer the same fate as Marchbanks, just too big to get a good start on the 250. I seriously doubt he’d be ahead of Romano at this point.

Drew was ripping starts multiple times during SX this year. 

G is just not a good starter. I don’t think it has anything to do with him being large.

Engine failure these days is kind of wild. Hopefully Prado rides mad for moto 2

Just checked and couldn't believe he's 28!!! With all the injuries and crashes, I'd just call it a career at this point and thank my lucky stars that I'm still healthy. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders, clearly isn't ever going to be a champion if he hasn't done so yet in the 250s, so go be successful in something else while you're still young and healthy

I wonder if these modern machines would stand up to 40+2?

I think it’s for a 250 deal for SX, WSX, and AusX. Maybe they’ll put him on a 450 on the opposite coast.

450 could tame him down or he struggles and keeps going on the same path.

Yeah also super risk to go around the outside even if you get a good jump

Man I absolutely hate redoing the gate drop. Its too dangerous, plus its not anyones fault the race stopped. It really needs to be once you drop the gate you stagger em on the restart even if under a lap. It just feels wrong to make them have to redo the gate drop.

Isn’t he pro circuits highest paid rider? Hard to pass that up while it’s still available

This shit has been going on since I started watching in the early 90s. So easy to fix and so maddening when they just show us a shot from the end of the line. Either give us the drone shot from up above or get a camera mounted at the end of the start straight and just leave it on the fucking riders till they make the turn.
