Bench Racing | Ironman National The Motos

Well, it’s over…. And remarkably anti climactic.  That first moto was such a head shaker, that expectations were killed for moto 2.

So, congrats to Prado, this is what he was expecting to do 2 years ago.  

It was mentioned earlier, I won’t be surprised if Jett skips SMX.

Does that mean Deegan is gonna have to update his shirt to RIP HUNTER next year? Oof, for such a drama queen and big talker he couldn't even lead more than a few seconds on a lap. Ouch

Yea he looks "hurt"...... 

This is not the face of someone that tried his hardest to win a championship…

So the shirt was right???

WOW

Unpopular opinion by Jett Lawrence fanboys: Deegs accidentally exposed the fix by going down & taking Hunter w/ him. 

As much as I wanted Hunta to win this ship, it sucks it went down like this. He was the best guy this season no doubt, but ppl will always talk about this one…

Well yes, MC wasn't known for his outdoor prowess

I just meant if his goal is to chase records, wouldn't he want every championship he can?

Jett saw the replay of Jorge sipping tea after the finish and was cracking up 😆 

If Jett is back to winning at smx what does that say for today? 

This feels so much like Eli's championship in 2020... he crossed the line to silence, and let out a "whoo!" it echoed in an empty stadium. Hunter won, but it feels weird as fuck considering it's arguably the worst race of both their careers. Won with a whimper instead of a scream? I was really hoping to see them push each other out front.

I was about to 100% buy into Jett waiting for Hunter then racing for it "straight up", but when Hunter just left him... what? If Jett was going to just let him have it, there were much easier ways to do it. But it still feels weird as hell.

One family, one team.

I'm not people.  He won it...the record book doesn't have asterisks. 🙃

What a cap to his MX career. Few believed he would finish the season. He must feel great!

You're a fucking moran.

This had my dying lol.  Maybe he was still savoring the moment. 🤷🏻‍♂️😆

Na he’s got to follow through with the act now he’s going limp around until next year 

My prediction is Jett skips SMX.

I think both of the Hunter brothers rode slower today to let Webb get a podium for his last outdoor race of his career since they knew they had the championship in the bag.

Cole just waiting to do a burnout, true bogan

thankfully no doucheboy podium interview 😎

since when do championship contenders perform the best on the very last race? Pretty rare. Pressure is so high, ure not able to ride like ur normal self, or ure just riding extra cautios. Kenny and Hunter this year in SX last round? Neither of them landed on the box. Both started 1 and 2. Never dropped like that all season. Its just normal

Rare for him to not podium this season. 

his chest is all puffed out from beeting the brothers

Well, if that's  true I don't have any heartache with it.  Go Webb at MXdN.

oh boy iwas to happy to early 🤮

Thats right usa chant for webb, he actually deserves it, guy always steps up unlike diaperbaby. 

Apparently Deegs was reading vital with his "exposed some antics" with his crash statement. Lol

I knew Deegs would call them out on that BS by the Lawrence’s. Lol. Good on him. 

It’s clear that Jett did not put in his best in the first moto.

In the second he probably did. But if you WANT to win and you see your main competitor on the ground the first lap you sprint as much as you can. Not drop an anchor, looking backwards in every turn and ”race” with riders you normally lap.

Then an hour later with some tape on your foot you can all of a sudden podium and run a decent pace again?. 

He looked as fine with this result today as he did going in to this weekend looking at earlier post race interviews after he lost. 

The last time we saw some disappointment from him was at RedBud and from then it has just been awkward.
