I’m fine with it. Shows passion and that he still cares. I see him winning next weekend.
It was my money and my team yea I’d shit can him right there but as you know it’s not that easy. Sponsors, big money and other stuff behind the scenes plus it makes Kawasaki look like dumbasses for having two riders with major issues two years in a row.
And yes RJ be good fit and would give it his all but you won’t be getting any chance at wins. Malcolm doesn’t want to do outdoors so he’s out I think.
LMFAO.....He left KTM because he thought the bike sucked.
I don't think it's a good bike. Regardless of what you think of Jorge or how he handled things, purely from an ability/ego pov imagine being him in 2025. You're the world champ, you're racing in front of thousands of fans (with many more overseas keen to see how well you'll do). The media interviewing you in the build up etc.
Then at Rd 1 (and many other rounds after) you're in the region of 1:30 - 1:40 secs etc back... Without a crash...
There is something wrong there. At that team. There is something deeply amiss. Again regardless of the many faults of Jorge and Chase etc
Now clearly, given the horrible optics (those optcs being: Jorge doing spectacularly better so far this year, Chase being noticeably worse) Kawasaki are moving hell and high water to resolve the issue, perhaps more than they ever have in 15 yrs. Sometimes the conditions align and Chase does a bit better, sometimes he can even win, but mostly they're chasing their tails with Chase REALLY not trusting the bike. They're trying to overcome a decade + at least of stubborn obstinance...

The best move Kawasaki made is keeping Marchbanks and putting him on a 450, LOL..
not one single cell phone vid taken by a fan as this happened? I truly wanna see him basically "throw" the bike at his team. if he really did this, dude is gonna implode his career. Until then, I'll withhold judgement slightly....
Fixed it for you
He said he loved the bike when it was on. The window was just too small. His Bluetooth reference in a podcast, like sometimes it was connected, then it’s like it was disconnected.
And he/they had a huge shock issue. Having to swap shocks out everything session because of it fading so bad. That would give you very little confidence in the team that they couldn’t figure it out all year. Seems perfect now, but that and some other freak mechanical issues caused a lot of friction over there. I can’t blame him for that.
No he left the team because he didn’t get along/agree with management…..the same management that fired his mechanic that he brought over from Honda and the same management that made him ride at Baker’s although he wasn’t training with him…
Exactly this.
Accusing him of being a headcase is about the most intellectually lazy comment you can make.
No one gets to this level by being a headcase. He’s not out there thinking about fishing.
His riding style bites him every single time.
Weak brains get weeded out in amateurs.
You know this is a thread about him ghost riding his bike into the pits, right? Listen to him speak or explain literally anything, he is all over the place. Guy is absolutely a head case.
Head's up Garrett!
Him leaving. 😄
This is true as well. 🤙
Uh yes he did. They were constantly fighting set up issues
The surfboard on the side of the cart 😂
The guy is talented as anyone out there and is capable of being the fastest guy, but he’s the biggest head case I’ve ever seen. It’s frustrating because we all know what he is capable of.
Someone mentioned the Rango aspect…
Now I’m in a Fuck Cause Sexton position.
Rango burns the midnight oil for his riders. I know this for a fact. Hell, his “previous riders” drop by his pit and check in on him and his family/life. The fucking agents of his previous riders check in on him…fuck!
It’s time for Team Green’s Fuck Chase Sexton shirts! 🤣
Pit Row
Sexton's new nick name should be Head Chase.
Dan Fahey has got to go.
Excellent post.
I think I even remember RC awhile back saying something along the lines of he learned to just get the bike to a "good not great" setup and just learned how to ride it best from there instead of always chasing setups and letting it affect your riding mentally. When you can just focus on "riding" instead of "oh the shock bounces a little too quick in this corner and the frame kinda flexes over here" he would just....focus on going as fast as possible with how it was. These are HIGH performance racing machines built by the absolute best in the world....it's very hard for me to accept any excuse of why a PRO racer can't go win on it.
Yeah! That fucking pussy needs to drink a glass of raw eggs,and man up.
Well said. Team green needs a manager like "Team Green".
I'm not sure what Chase is looking for. Is the fix he's looking for even physically possible?
lol yes because kawi wants to spend millions of dollars for guys with no chance of getting podiums.
Chase has a problem. It’s his dad. Kawi has problems, and it’s their factory R&D team (and management). They absolutely cannot let another top guy out of their contract years early, which is why now they are finally throwing everything they can to fix it. Problem is, it’s years too late for development.
Funny a few of you mentioned monster having a hard time because of the Prado incident. While true, they were only upset because he was bailing to go to a Red Bull backed team. If he, or chase now, just slid over to a monster team (star or even any team without an energy drink sponsor) they would have zero problem.
Did anyone else here on vital have a little hunch when they heard that Chase was going to Kawi that this “was” going to happen?
Either it was going to be good or be nasty.
He should throw his dad out of the pits...
...and invest in a new coach/mentor...
I disagree. He is not as good as Jett Lawrence and he knows it. He can't accept this - which is why he blames the bike.
Lechien and Bradshaw just took their shirt off.
