Well Haiden did grab hold of the chainsaw and at that moment it was Deegan’s biggest fan.

That lap time battle that Jett and Deegan had the last 4-5 laps was awesome! 

would have been fun to see at least one lap of them both hauling ass.

I wonder how much more Jett could have found in the tank if it was anybody else but hunter up front. If there's deegan 4 sec ahead of him winning the race I don't think he settles for 2nd.

The thing that kinda sucks for us as fans is that the Lawrences can kind of game the race. 

Hunter was faster than Jett today. They both knew it. Jett chilled so Hunter chilled. Both of them cruised most of the second moto. Jett picked up the pace as much as he needed late and Deegan never really got to him

It's mindblowing that both have perfected the game to only ride as fast as they need to. Hunter for the first half of the race constantly buttered out 2.05 laps and then just chilled. Jett couldn't really match him in the first half lap time wise so he was probably aware and already settled.

For Deegan.. Someone should write "break him" on the pitboard more often if that increases the chance of a battle. He absolutely took off from that lol

Each great of their generation brought something new to the sport that changed it forever. McGrath brought soaking up and timing from bmx, before him ppl used to jump with the old school style. Carmichael brought elite athlete level training and fitness, before him guys would be able to party and rely on talent and spinning laps for fitness. Js7 brought staying low, scrubbing and finding lines that nobody else saw, before him staying as low as possible wasnt even a thing. 

Dungey brought deadly consistency, before him RC could crash at anaheim and get last and still win the championship, cant happen after dungey never finishing off the podium. Now you have jett who realized winning by 3 seconds pays the same points as 50 seconds, before him guys would take huge risks and even crash trying to win by a huge lead, after jett they realized its wayyy safer to ride only as fast as needed to win and no faster.

Think that gap would fill in some if any of the ones out were there? Sexton, Tomac, Cooper, Barcia, Stewart, Anderson plus ones that got knocked out today (Ferrandis, etc)?

Def not, he would have turned it on and got him. I think he laid up a lot for Hunter and settled for second. He could have clearly pushed more if he wanted too.

Like him or not, hope Ferrandis is alright. That was an absolute smack down he took in moto 2.

Closing the gap to -7 from -20 is a personal win for Deegs.

I’m not a Deegan fan, but this is correct and if someone can’t comprehend that was a solid race from all 3, it’s just fanboi’ism.

People acting like Deegan was catching jett when Jett just turned it up and kept the gap right where he wanted it..... He's done this far too often for people to still be falling for this. Just like chase and others, let me know when someone catches AND passes him.

Why does it feel like Jett kinda gave that to big bro , he’s going alien mode if it was anybody else. Great ride Hunter, best man on the day 

people seem to forget Jett isn't putting in the practice laps during the week.....it's got to affect him somewhat. he's nowhere near 100% so there will be times he doesn't have that extra gear

From what I understand they changed the format and don't broadcast it live.
