Hate to hear this happened. At least MxKied had somewhat of a reason.

Bouncing around from team to team like LeBron James isn’t the answer. I have always thought the reason Dungey had so much success with KTM was because he stuck it out and developed the bike to his liking. When he came to KTM the bike wasn’t great. 

And came off the couch and absolutely ripped on a model year that everyone else supposedly did not like lol. Dungey was badass. 

As far as Chase, that's just not acceptable. I was hoping maybe he would stick it out and they'd maybe get him on the '27 when possible. At this point, can't imagine he's on the team after this summer (if he even makes it.)

  What would cure Chase is if GMarch would have slapped him upside his noggin for his petty behavior. Forgive me for being raised in the 70’s.

Lunatic needs to be sat down and talked to about putting others in danger because he can’t keep his feelings in check.  Maybe a Sports Psychologist could help.

To be fair this would probably have helped haha Garrett had to have felt disrespected

The AMA and Kawi should fine Chase for unsportmanlike conduct and recklessness. Doesn't matter that it happened off the track.

As per mxa Chase almost hit his teammate in kawi pits after moto 1. Is this the end of kawi and Sexton ?

Team manager should have told mechanic to tell Chase, “sorry Chase when you dropped your bike the bars bent and broke the lever, did not have a replacement nor time to replace between motos, looks like you will have to sit this one out”. 

Yeah, I would have told the mechanic go ahead and tear it down to the frame.

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.

The bike won two races this year, was in podium year before and their number two guy just got 5th overall in a stacked class. It's not the bike

Hate to see this for the second time now. There’s no way he’s finishing this season with Kawi. This is worse than Pourcel level at this point… I will be shocked if his career goes down the drain because he can never find a bike that works how he wants it to. It’s fascinating in the worst way possible.

The team isn't causing him to crash. He's done it on every brand. They are letting him do whatever he wants right now. Chase is his own worst enemy. Last year, sure the team may have been the problem with Prado. But this year they've literally done everything they can to make Chase happy.

Agreed, but  even Emig was a head case. Hell, even Lechien had some issues!

Lusk as well.

For the record, CPR did not say anything about the issues in question. As you were.

Kawasaki likely now has a legitimate & defendable 'out' if so.

RJ & Malcolm are gonna be available.

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 

Although I agree with you the problem is his "comfortable" seems to be purely subjective. No one, including him knows how to get there consistently in the last few years.

Marchbanks would beat the breaks off of Sexton.

How long before he mysteriously pulls out of the series because he is 'banged up'? 

Two rounds, three?

Yea they need to consider letting Chase go at this point. Just go to the races rest of the year with Marchbanks. Heck, bring Tondel over to the factory rig to finish outdoors.

Time for big Lew to talk to his bro Sexton and get the scoop.

Ive never seen a rider who loads the bike harder than Chase.

He has to fix that or that front end and other weird shit will keep happening, plus he needs to fix his mental.

He went zero to first in outdoors on a KTM the bike that he hated, that says everything you need to know about his mentality.

We all wonder what happened to the heir apparent Sexton of 2022 who battled a veteran Tomac to the last moto of the Nationals.

At this point Chase needs someone like Ryno or Ricky as a coach. Someone a little out there that will tell him straight up.
