Sacha is RC reborn

I actually think sx will slow him down a bit and be good for mx to. On these modern 250F's you can only race on the ragged edge like he does so much before its catches you. You cant over jump and bulldog every Lil inch of the track which is his style. Hes one of the few I think SX makes him faster outdoors.

I'm on the bandwagon -but I do have a concern. It's exciting to watch but I don't know how well that riding style turns out long term. One you increase the risk of crashing which increases the risk of concussion. It seems some riders who have big concussions, or repeated concussions, end up impacting their racing with more mistakes, etc. (Pastrana, Sexton, Forkner, just to name a few). 

I love the “I wanna win by a minute even if I die trying” attitude, so exciting to watch, he clearly had the skills to ride at 90% like Jett does and just cruise to the win.. but NOPE, those first few turns of Moto 1 were some of the most exciting motocross I have seen in years, dude is an absolute savage

These Coenen kids are no joke.  Sacha and Lucas are just incredible.  Amazing.  I’m an American and I’d love nothing more than to see them decimate the field.  Get well soon, boys, and hope to see you full time stateside soon!

seriously. We can debate "what ifs" all day, but those 2 showed up fresh off a plane, suited up, and straight hauled ass. Without some crashes, those 2 legit could have gone 1-1 in both classes. Forget Deegs, Jett and Hunta might want to be watching these 2 instead.

Impressive, for sure. I, like others, am concerned about Sasha's long-term durability but so far he's an animal.

Let's also not discount the fact that these guys are Belgians on what to them is a tame sand track. I expected nothing less than an impressive performance from them. I'd have been disappointed if they didn't win motos. 
I hope neither of them is hurt too badly. 

Yeah, Sacha needs a throttle stop ( blue tooth) from his brain to his wrist. 

Then he will still win and less inherent risk. 
Both boys can be what the Law Firm brings.  They just need to slow down 2%

Just read the perfect description of him on Instagram:

‘Sacha looks like a real life version of one of those remote controlled dirt bike toys if you send it down some stairs.’

It would be so stressful if I was his parents or his team manager but as a fan that was damn electric to watch. 

He was making up multiple bike lengths on guys by just jumping down some of those hills further than them, granted that's sort of what ended up causing his crash but wow. 

😂

Paul Malin calls him "The rubber man"

The similarity is let it hang out.  As riders they look much different.  I saw Ricky race 4 times in 97 , craziest thing I saw him do. Was lap 1 he sky shot the big single landing in the whoops .  I did that a on smaller hill jumping to flat in 3 foot whoops my 1st ride this yr.  My bike tracks straight through & it’s easy to do.  If Sasha was on Rickys 97 kx125 or my bike he would hv rode it out 100%.  

The first three are one lap! The kid is a one man highlight reel.

He reminds me a liitle bit of Guy Cooper. Supercross should be interesting.

Slower is not faster.

RC did not act like a human lawn dart! That kid crashes almost every race. He will not last long if he doesn’t clean it up a little. Speed is not a problem for him it is knowing how to controll it.

Not gonna lie I dont see it bro's. You already have RJ Hampshire at home, why all this erection for the same thing but from Belgium? They're notorious crash artists both brothers - I'd put princess danger's chances above the Coenens for any major titles, SX is going to be an absolute Michael Bay film for them.

And Lucas is Decoster reborn. Same slopey-back style,  as opposed to Everts straight back style.
