One more change to make. Tire brand. The only change he hasn’t made.

There isn't a tire (or a bike I guess) made that can handle his front loaded riding style. It's been proven over and over again.

 

I like Chase, but this is just ridikuluss.

20 pages later and not one "media" outlet reporting actual DETAILS of this event. And we KNOW that all the "media" guys KNOW exactly what happened but their bromances keep them from reporting it. Oh well, some things never change.

MXA reported when it happened.

Matthes talked about it on the pulpshow and moto60 with Zacho.

Think its time for his own team leasing HRC bikes.

Monster, Alpinestars, etc

Look what reedy did

Just an fyi. I have heard from two different people (highly doubt either have been in contact with the other about it), and both have told almost the exact same story. Chase came into the tent and got hung up trying to get underneath the chain so he just basically said screw it and let the bike go. It did almost hit Garrett. I know nothing about what was said and who else got involved tho, so I won’t speculate on any of that. 

This is as close to the truth that we will hear.


Thanks, Renner.

The guy can't even set up his own bike and you think he could start and build a team??

Getting bike set up advice from this guy...It must be galling if you're a highly skilled engineer - not just a mechanic - on a factory...

For some reason theres always a spotlight on Team Kawasaki. Why no talk about Geyser?  He looks like shit on Yamaha.  Tomac left Yamaha.  Webb leaves Yamaha.  He was even in tears at A1 because his Yamaha was so bad.  Jcoop wanted to leave Yamaha.  And to me, Shimoda was way better on PC.  Hes never been that great on Honda.  But all we hear about is Kawasaki.  People are obsessed with Kawasaki.  PC curse.  What about the curse Star Yamaha has put on Thrasher?

offtopic, but jcoop really wanted to leave yam? i thought he stayed because of the bike, not in spite of it.

Perhaps you just assume you know what you’re talking about because you read it on the internet, but you actually don’t.

Those other riders all left after finishing their contracts.  Kawi is on the brink of having two guys in succession bail out of three year contracts after less than one year.

Plus, what mechanics or technicians would want to be on that team?

Justin Cooper never wanted to leave Star.  In fact, he’s taken less pay and 1 year deals to stay there.  Thrasher has been very inconsistent but has won races.  I reckon he would have had several opportunities to go elsewhere if he so chose.  So, saying Star put a “curse” on him is blasphemy.


Oh, and HRC does not lease bikes.  Whomever suggested that, lol.

Ryno.....  The same guy who ghost rode a KTM 125 into the pits after a bad moto?  Bitched and called his bike a moped? Yeah, he is exactly what Chase needs.......

He had Forkner looking faster than Deegan for a race and a half until he ended up on the cement (not peak 250 Deegan obviously but still looked impressive) so I think he could help Chase Sexton aka Tucker McFront.

I actually had the same thought.  Ryno is kind of a nut head but he does know how to ride a dirt bike.  Maybe Chase could benefit from someone outside the box.🤔

Yup, def comes off as a kook to a lot of people. Eccentric dude for sure, but a guy who probably could tell you in detail exactly what he would change with Sexton and actually get him to try something different.

Pretty sure Jo is the champ riding for Honda who won 500k at the end of last season.

Since we’re assuming things, I’m going to assume you felt like a huge failure typing something so stupid.

Chase just said in an interview with Lewis it was pent up frustration building over the last few months. Then he said he got his foot caught in the chain and had to dump it, it was an accident. But he’s sorry he let his frustrations get the better of him……


What!!!????

In his interview with Lewis he took plenty of accountability and apologized multiple times.  I’m a human too, and I can forgive someone who owns up to their mistakes.  I’m a big fan of Chase and want him healthy and riding at his best.  Makes our sport more fun to watch

He's talking about the chain across the pit entrance.
