Maybe he just washed the front turning into the awning and got whisky throttle. Quite plausible.

It was a pressure warsher incident. He hit the mud slick in front of the truck and shit went sideways.

If I’m Kawi I’m not letting Chase out of the deal yet. I’d clean out upper management of the race team and try again. They need new voices and a different approach. 

We’ve seen two elite riders be nowhere near their capabilities and consistency. Fool me once.. fool me twice.


Yes Garrett is doing well, right around where he was on the club 450. I don’t put much weight in what he’s doing comparatively. 

Both those riders need someone to show them how to put their bike on the stand tho. They couldn't tell you what sag does if their life depended in it, much less set it. 

 

Yes kawi also needs to outsource their program or at least get rid of fahey

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. 

He could always just start a vitalmx account and get some information from the professionals on this site LoL

Bahahaha! 😂

Did he leave his mechanic at the track?

So is Chase the rider Kris Keefer talks about who can't/won't put his bike on the stand? It's plausible...eh?

Maybe Garrets mechanic pulled a prank and put Sextons milkcrate in the team rig and didn't let Marchbanks in on the joke? It's plausible...eh?

I think this is just Chase playing into Kawasaki's secret marketing strategy for being the brand occupying the most bandwidth on the Vital forums. Between the various two-stroke threads, and this, is any other brand even close?

I bet the team will find something in his locker and be forced to respond.

Think of how bad a look that is for a second elite rider wanting out of his Factory Kawi deal? Who's going to want to ride for them in the future? Yeah, RJ or Malcolm would sign with them in a second. But I'm talking getting a Jett, Hunter, Deegan, even a prospect like Davies would probably give it pause.

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.  

He won two supercross races this year

Bingo

How bad can the bike be if you win SX races?

It is a bad look but high paying factory rides are hard to come by. Someone will always be willing to take the paycheck.

And that is why both Dan and Bruce have to go…they have allowed this team to be a dysfunctional mess with everyone pointing fingers at everyone…They are the ones that should be held accountable for this dumpster fire of a team…Is Chase difficult to deal with, apparently yes, but these to morans have made the team the laughing stock of the paddock….

They should get rid of nearly everyone associated with running the team and bike development.

The optics of Prado dropping out of his deal and Chase maybe following his lead are so bad! They can't win. We all agree Chase is a flake but Kawi still comes out looking bad

Not an insider, and I maybe wrong, but I feel like the opinion of Chase burning bridges isn't 100% accurate. Yes, he's been somewhat critical of his bikes but I felt like him leaving Honda had more to do with the Lawrence's moving into the premier class than the bike. In fact I thought Honda made him an offer for 2024. KTM had some shock and brake issues with multiple riders calling it out but leaving had more to do with personalities clashing between Chase and some team members. This Kawasak thing seems to be the status quo, due to their history with riders and bike set up issues dating back to Weimer. I'm not condoning ghost riding his bike at all but  I'm just questioning what bridges he's actually burned. With premier titles at both Honda and KTM I find it hard to image they wouldn't rehire him if they needed riders. The problem is that they are full for the foreseeable future. Maybe a Husky deal on his own?

It's also been reported that he left both teams in basically Irish Goodbye fashion, no thanks, no handshakes. Just peaced at the last race and they never heard from him again. Is that a crime? No, but it shows a lack of maturity and is kind of odd.

That's not a bad idea. The Sextons can take the Team 22 route and start their own team on rented Husky's

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.  

He left honda when jett smoked him and he said it was because the front of the bike kept knifing causing him to crash, lol.
