It’s not a gift. It is what it is. Jett riding over his head and crashing three times today. Deegan had an incredible last to 4th ride in moto 1 and just kept riding consistently fast to get the 2nd overall and beats Jett.

Didn’t Jett have 23 seconds on deegan in moto 2? Lmao u kids really are delusional

Deegan beat Jett fair in square today. You gotta stay up right if you wanna win, and Jett made several unforced errors today. Last to 4th is fucking WILD for a rookie. Deegan still hasn't led a single lap, so calm down bed bugs.

HRC remains undefeated for 1 more round. 

Haha yeah, no Wing no Prayer.  Honda,s old 2-st phrase.  Think about that marketing?  And it was true to top if off.

Hunta - geezusss this dood just might be the new fmotp... fantastic ride... this is his series to lose now... expect him to go into championship mode for the rest of the nats.. 

Cringe lord - he just doesn't have the speed, nor is he willing to send it hard enough to get the win... this is gonna be his easy yr in the nats cause next year Lucas will be here... if he wants to win a race, he's got a better shot this yr than next..

Jett - the only person that beats Jett, is Jett, and he's been doing a great job of beating himself... he's teetering on head case mode rn.... dood needs some serious time off...

Rj - solid ride but he seems to still be riding a bit conservatively.... 

Barcia- cringe lord tried to pass him on the outside.. lmaoo... nobody ever claimed cringe lord to be a rocket surgeon... lolll

Prado - he isn't riding hard... reminds me of his kawi days riding around at 80 percent... is he hurt,  a headcase,  or he just dgaf??

Benny - damnnnnn 8th for the beta!!!

Smith - dood was riding around at 70 percent early in the series..  now he's actually riding hard.. 

Et3 - geeezussssssssssssssssssssss w t fffff

-------

Juju- lfggggggggg! After an incredibly serious injury he's back faster than ever... and he's def not out of the championship fight either... 

Hymas - yayyyy he actually showed up to race today! One moto at least.. lmaoo

Levi - what's up w the leg?? Either way... I expect him to wad it up sooner rather than later and ruin his title run... 

Minear - now that kid is looking fantastic in his rookie yr.. 

Mumford - doooodd... crying??? Geezusss

Adams - tq to mid af during the races

Dax - way faster his rookie yr than now... 

Thrasher - what could have been...

Rolling around on assholes and elbows is becoming a habit for Lawrence #1 and Lawrence #2. 

Why the sudden change this season? Almost seems like their heads are on fire and their asses are catching. Somebody pushed them to the edge.

Based on the AMA rules:

In motocross, Supercross and Arenacross, assistance is allowed at the starting gate up through the first turn (at the start of the race only).

Where was this demarcation point, because it looked like some assistance occurred after the right hand corner.

Jett's injury is still holding him back clearly. He's not riding over his head or a "head case." He can't use the technique properly he's programmed into his body, that makes him the FMOTP. Hunter improved this year for sure. You think he improved enough to put 12-15sec on Jett like he did 1st moto? Jett is so far off from being back to his normal self

Was he faster in moto 1 or did it just appear that way because he was having to make passes? I think think the Hondas still kept growing the gap to him in moto 1 even though he was flying through the pack 

He wasn't faster ,2 seconds down on Hunter and 1 on Jett . He did have a great ride though

Great ride from Deegz. He's absolutely looking better on the bike. He looked really stiff to me at the start of the season. He was rolling that first moto

Dude he’s still 20 back in the motos with good starts! Like he did that at pala with terrible starts. Jett would have easily had 30 on him. Red bus was the same. No laps lead and his starts are pretty damn good lately

Jett & Hunter's pattern of tossing away wins and handing the other an OA continues. Quite the brotherly bonding activity. 

I'm curious how much riding Jett has gotten in week-to-week and if the heel support footpeg design reduces foot symptoms enough to increase that quantity. Either way, Hunter is a menace this year and I can't help but root for the guy. 

Deegs looked fast today. His speed is great but imo Haiden's biggest strength rests in his line choice and connecting multiple sections that allow him to send. We'd gotten a couple of glimpses of it this year but Moto 1 felt like the first time I'd seen him really find it. Moto 1 was gnarly. 

Stoked to have Eli back. Wasn't his best showing but he's missed out on a summer of testing, lost his foundation that he'd carried through sx (despite injuries) so I wasn't all that shocked to see him phone it in. It's also like Chase said this morning, with Eli you never know if he's gonna get 10th or fight for the lead. Seemed like he was just getting a moto in and dusting off some cobwebs. 

Reg the 450 Moto 1 start, is there an angle of it that looks more incriminating as far as Jett goes? The broadcast made it sound like, "ooooh Jett kinda stuck it to Deegan there" but I didn't even see contact, and it seemed more like Haiden was headed for the ground on his own

Chase was right about the Honda and it's finally catching up to the brothers with all this crashing.

Great summation!

People had these crazy expectations for ET3... Eli has never ridden the KTM outdoors so he doesn't have outdoor settings. He just is coming back from injury and gauging where he's at in regards to the riders that have been racing for 2 months. You can see that he wasn't completely confident in sending it through corners, etc. Even James mentioned that several times during the broadcast.

I think Eli did well and he will get better. Really this race was to get seat time in and come out unscathed. Mission accomplished.

the dude 20 seconds back isn’t pushing anyone to the edge. Hunter stepped it up this year because he wants to win and doesn’t want to live in Jett’s shadow. Jett is learning to ride with a career ending injury and doesn’t like to lose so I think he’s trying too hard and forcing errors on himself

Sounds like the track conditions were great.  Too bad there isn’t more racing . Like 125, 250 emx on Sunday .  125 class sat had 36 on the gate, quite a few of them race the 11 round series. They hv the track dialed.

Yaa my bad, I didn’t mean anything towards you. I was thinking the same, if Jett or someone else went down where Deegz did, they would’ve gotten the same kind of help. I was thinking that guy didn’t know the rules that the mechanics can help if their rider goes down in the first turn.

They should have the combines at every round and 125 2-stroke races too for riders 13-16 yrs old.
