Jett’s not a good enough actor to suddenly be a 14th place guy. Unless the team left a rag in the air box..

Jett didn’t want to win it that way. Respect.

Wtf am I watching? From Hunter losing the championship twice now to Jett just.. letting him by? Also Jetts jump out of the gate wasn't even bad, but he somehow was in 20-25th after the first two corners.. He literally doesn't want to win this

That asterisk might be deserved though. I’ll sign the petition…

How to make a bunch of grown men cry on any given Saturday; have the title favorite crash with the most hated rider in the pits, and then have his brother ride slow. 

I bet Jett keeps it at -3, as it would have been realistically going into moto 2 anyway.

Unfortunately it’s going to be there. If he would’ve just kept riding w/ Hunter & at least make it look like they’re racing each other I don’t think it would’ve been such a big deal.. 

I like Hunter & really wanted him to win this straight up. Not a fan of this tho.

Hunter was never as smooth as Jett but he's so intuitive...except for following Deegan.🙃

Better to not have started the moto at all…

I’m at the point if there’s no good explanation for what I’ve just watched I’m done with pro racing the same way as every other stick and ball sport. Shameful if there’s no huge explanation for this.

Wasn’t there a rumor about Jett getting dinged up a little bit during the week?  He’s definitely riding like he can’t go full speed.

His qualifying today should have said otherwise. Looked about 10X better than this lol. 

I hear you, but qualifying isn’t the same as knowing you’ve got to do 30+2. 

If Jett had found a bit more speed after Hunter caught him, I’d be much more inclined to believe that Jett isn’t giving it his all. But the way it looks right now, the injury rumor probably has at least a little bit of validity to it.

Maybe Jett’s foot is hurting? Flu? Hangover? 

There’s a lot of ways to get suddenly slower, I’ve tried most of them..

Between the track owners ruining a great track and the Lawrence brothers pulling this stuff...not a great day for AMA pro motocross.

JS7 can't get himself to say that Jett is letting Hunter win. Mentioned this last week that Jett would do this.

I guess it is unfathomable that Jett is having a bad race/bad day. Agree with Bubba that Hunter would "punch Jett in the face" if he gave it to him. Why he's riding so average I don't know. But I don't believe it's a gimme.

James and weege must’ve got someone in their headset telling them to shut up about jet letting Hunter by, they’ve completely switched from “I think he’s letting him by” to “oh it’s probably because he’s hurt”
