I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, but we will agree to disagree I guess.
Both have already signed multi year contracts. Its been spoken about already.. I don't understand why this keeps being mentioned.
Contracts couldn't be made public due to Mirtle Lawsuit
Who do you think had the bigger bonus for a championship?
Lars said on the pre race show when asked by Weege that they had different individual incentives for the championship. so who knows, Hunter Could of had a NSX thrown in his championship bonus and Jett get a new tattoo. who knows. i don't care.
what narrative do you believe??
Is it that Hunter wanted the money or contract extended?? Either one is ridiculous. Its just funny the narrative changes pending on what gets shut down first.

LMAO!.
I could see that,
When they both have locked up so much, I can see how easy it is to "share the wealth " so to speak.
My bet?, Jett rocks it from here on out.
No matter the insiders chat.
That family is loving life right now.
Good for them.
I havent decided yet what I believe.
Seems a lot like Jett tried to give it to Hunter, and that Hunter winning would be the most profitable for the family.
And don't get me wrong, I understand if i was a new fan, didn't know the sport, didn't know the back story to this season or the Lawrence camp, with the outside looking in with no context, it looks odd.
But we are all die hard fans who follow this sport closely,. we Know Jett's injury has been 50/50 all season pending on the track and obstacles.. We know Jett went to his old foot peg (still a dumb move) , we know he over jumped Deegs Double in press and tweaked it. We know Hunter hurt his wrist in press. We know both have multi year contracts. Both make millions. both just had a genuinely terrible day with a lot of pressure and a lot emotions. We just saw them be human for a weekend.
I genuinely believe Jett was hurting, the mental side was weighing on him between Hunters first turn crash and the foot peg change. Jett too emotional and looked like he couldn't figure out if he needed to pull off the track from pain or try and give Hunter the battle for the title he deserved.
either way, Jett wasn't himself all season, Hunter was the man to beat and even if Jett went alien mode, i dont think the outcome changes. Hunter has been the better man for the past 12 months.
I think they are a smart family/team and not sure we will ever know if something different than what they said happened.Their decisions are just one of the spoils you have when you have 2 brothers so much better than everyone else that they have guaranteed only the two of them will decide the championship.I guess they will decide who gets it.Ultimate power move really.
lots of speculation and ignorance in this thread....
This 100%
The idea that Jett wouldn't fight for this title if he physically could have, and threw it to his brother when he could have won, is delusional. Get a grip.
Occam is still right all these years later. Homeschoolers won’t get that reference
Razor sharp response.
elite ball knowledge,
"the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation"
Since Occam isn't a Marginalized Person, but instead a mere cis dwg, public schoolers increasingly won't either.
I just read through this entire thread, and honestly, I really regret it. I think I'm actually dumber now than before I opened this abortion.
lol nice
Pit Row
always makes me giggle to know William of Ockham was on house arrest in 1324
Possibly the most embarrassing thread in vital history, impressive
many such cases
I doubt most will get it. The law of parsimony isn't what people here think it might be. It's the idea that all else being equal, we should not multiply assumptions beyond what is necessary. But don't conflate less words; "Jett was hurt" with less assumptions. Packed into the idea that Jett was too hurt to ride at a faster pace are a lot of assumptions, perhaps more so than the simple assumption that Jett let his brother by because he saw him go down and didn't want him to lose the title that way.
What does more profitable even mean? Couple hundred grand more in win bonus for hunter? And people think the family decides to risk Jetts entire career for that? Blows my mind
Dazzy must be so embarrassed

Thoughts from the champ:
It’s really sad seeing the shine being taken away from Hunter finally winning that elite title, due to the band wagon “we saw what we saw” conspiracy theorists ruining it for him.
Get a grip - the best man won. Well done Hunter!
I think Deegan saved energy for moto 2 in attempt to go for the elusive moto win. The other times he fell on lap 1 he charged towards the front and didn’t have as much in the tank for moto 2. Once he fell he knew he wasn’t getting p1 obviously.
Weird look on paper and the eye test was strange as well. I wouldn't say I know for sure either way. That said they dominated all season. Hell of a year for both of them. I was happy to see Hunter win it.
Poor guy. Finishes an amazing seson and finally wins a 450 title after coming so close so many times and all people do is come up with ridiculous BS to demerit it. If Jett doesn't line up outdoors and Hunter wins damn near every moto the same people would go yEah BuT JeTt wAsnT tHeRE 😭
