Its no fault but his own. He can't stay off the ground no matter what bike he rides.

Ive said it before, Chase appears to me to not have some basic bike skills to back up his talent. He needs a coach.

Yes he should just go to GH or Pala. Plenty of coaches there. I’m sure he’d be able to slot right into section work on a Thursday.

Sexton is 4-7 rider at this point of hos career.  Just a fact. 
The evolution of the sport leaves some riders behind a spot or two each year.

Sexton is the most head case motocrosser of all time. Even more than Bradshaw.

No he’s a mental midget, but he’s not 4-7 if he’s comfortable. Who knows if he can get comfortable anymore though.

I truly think if he was on the KTM still he would be right in the mix with Jett and Hunter..

When he is comfortable, he is one of the fastest riders on the planet

I tend to agree. It ain't the bike. Look what Marchbanks is doing on it, and he's not the same speed as Chase. 

I've been a Chase fan for a long time. He grew up not real far from where I used to live, and rode at our local track in Illinois. But It's tough rooting for him when he's being such a little bitch. Kawi is paying him big bucks to ride and represent the brand, he's doing a poor job at both.

I'm just about over his whining and his attitude.

What a joke. What now? Another new team? Just wasting the prime years of his career. You listen to Zacho with Steve on the Fly Moto 60 podcast and even a pro of the highest level like Zacho doesn't get it. He said the Kawi is about the sickest factory bike in the pits. Said how he's personally seen Chase pound out sx motos going faster than anyone he's even seen. And then race day its the mess we always see. The new 450 rookie is blowing his doors off. Its always the bike. He looked flawless on the KTM. Again, what now? His own private team? Star doesn't need him

Ive always been a fan of Chase as well. 
I believe the speed up front has increased and one can point fingers when you're not consistently up front. 
I believe Jett and Hunter raised the bar up front. Haiden has taken over that 3rd fastest rider.  That is not a slight to Chase or any other rider.

If he actually ghost rode the bike after the race no defending that and he needs to look in the mirror! That's spoiled toddler behavior . Actually should be fired. Remember LaRocco doing that to Kiedrowski right after the finish back in the day after a heated battle and although not right the circumstances were a tad different.

My opinion is that Sexton has  a problem with how he sets his bike up , particularly the front. What feels comfortable to him just doesn’t hold up. It’s not his riding,  it’s his set up. He needs to find a new comfortable , where he’s not tucking or washing the front all the time. Whatever the case acting like a spoiled brat and ghost riding the bike into the pits is unprofessional and dangerous.

Putting Sexton to the side for one minute; would any top level rider choose to go to the US Kawi team at the moment? Unless they can sort something out fast, this is very bad news for them.

On the shitmeter, I think that's just as bad as or even worse than not really trying to qualify lmao

Idk seemed to work fine for JA. Prado only ever knew steel frame, and Chase is a known head case
