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.

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…

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

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.

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

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.

If feels weird if this is Eli's last race to not talk to him. I realize he didn't podium, but a cold sendoff if he never races outdoors again.

Nobody’s fault but his own for not telling anyone if this was his last outdoor race.

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…

You're a fucking moran.

The fanboys w/ DDS always expose themselves lol. 

You have to be one if you actually think Jett didn’t make sure his brother won this championship. 

Ever since Hunter had that DNF, Jett has had really bad starts & not riding like he knows how to ride. 

I like Hunter & wanted him to win, but I’m not so blinded by the facts just because I like a guy that Im going to ignore what we all just watched.
