Getting sick of the same two winning every weekend.   I want to see someone,  anyone beat them.

Hunta is fully putting it to Jett and is on the verge of taking Jett’s title from him in Jett’s strongest discipline. Keep in mind Hunta had only won a single overall in 450 MX prior to this year. No one ever took any of RCs, JSs, or RVs outdoor titles off of them straight up, and Jett may get dealt that blow. If you set aside the fact that they are brothers, what we are watching is a pretty big deal and it is highly competitive. But yeah, it’d be nice if there was someone else in the mix, I’m with you on that.

Maybe, maybe not. Hunter made quite the leap in a year and was no where near as good as he is now.

They said the same thing when Deegs was a rookie in the 250s. They said he’d never win anything meaningful or be a champ. They say what they want to happen, not what is likely to happen.

It's interesting that KTM Sexton returning from injury was able to beat healthy Jett at Washougal last year. I think Sexton at his best is probably faster than Deegan

Good day of racing. Can’t believe Hampshire didn’t get hurt after that tumble. Can anyone attest as to whether this prado is the same Prado from GP that we heard so much about or is he struggling to get to form still? I expected more out of him based on the rumors

Nice. Already preparing to tarnish Hunta’s shine. Jett came in to the season fully expecting to win the title and has said as much on multiple occasions.

Why is it ridiculous?  Jett looked like Anderson ripping while off the track.  Can't do that.  If he would have checked up like he was supposed to Deegs would have passed him.  Jett would have got him back clearly but he screwed up and was rightfully penalized.

Good to see 38 closing the gap.  
Seems like Hunter is winning (pts) through speed and maturity.  
How bout Barcia?

First picture he is clearly not wfo, still half off the bike with his head slightly turned. Second one he's wfo but he's also on the track. He may have been wfo but this is not the smoking gun you think it is.

I think the ankle is the main reason he's crashing so much and that Hunter has the fitness advantage, yeah. But I don't think he's that much slower anymore compared to last year for example. They're putting 4-6 seconds a lap on the rest of the field except for Deegan and Prado. They're definitely getting faster since Pala aswell. Hunter for sure made a big leap this year. He's pushing a pace we have only seen from Jett and maybe Chase (Chase on rare occasions) so far.

Do I think Jett would still win if he was completely healthy? Yeah, because he wouldn't crash as much. Do I think Hunter is better than we have ever seen and would still win motos and overalls? Yeah.

Davies - just wow!!! If Jett should be scared of anyone in the future,  it's davies... 

Ryder - great ride,  maybe his best ever? But he's got a longgg ways to go... 

Chance- another good ride... not great... but better than all the other mid riders in the field.. 

Levi - there is a reason he's never won a title, nor never will... 

Juju - welp, title chances are gone now... 

Dax - lolll... he's lucky to have a ride anymore... he should just cut out the racing and party full time

Mosiman and brown - both on the Austin forkner career path.... sad to see really... 

----------

Hunta - holyyy chit that dood is legit... 

Jett - more mental errors.... 

Prado - faster than the guys taking summer vacations while racing at the very least.... but he's wayyy back of the leaders... we were told he was as talented as jett... we were told he was as fast as jett... and we were told he had beef w Jett and wanted some... what we get is defff not that... loll

Dylon - geezusss.... wayyy slower than he used to be...

Bam bam - cringe lord really reminds me of bam early in his career... fast enough to be a pita, but not fast enough to win titles... 

Et3 - the wheels have completely fallen off... then they caught fire... then they were buried 200 ft deep... it's just embarrassing to see et3 "battling" with Vince freezy mid pack.... at some point ktm either has to keep paying a premium for mid pack performances, or fire him... this is beyond ugly....  

I wish I was your boss at your job (if you have one) . I’d probably fire you for mid tier performances, it would be beyond ugly

Last year was obviously a big set back and confidence hit for Prado, hard to argue against that. But I honestly think even the 24 Prado wouldn't win more than a couple motos this season. I don't think he's riding at his best yet but I also think he wouldn't contend for the title against the hunter brothers. Also for years and years I thought he was the best starter in the world. He's getting outstarted every single moto, kinda insane.

Right. RC was just silly. A decade knowing who was going to win every weekend. And not just win, a 30-45sec beatdown..........every moto!

We got the occasional KW win at Washougal or Unadilla and then the 1 year battling James on a 2 stroke, but for the most part RC era outdoors was a decade of straight beat downs.

Penalizing Jett was 100% the right call. Everyone of us would have cried if Deegan did the same, let's be honest. I'm personally just not the biggest fan of position penalties in moto. It doesn't feel right when a rider has a huge gap and then still loses the position due to penalty. Just my two cents
