This is screwed up thinking, no more, no less.
Oh piss off !!!
We don't know, who are you talking about? Jett would probably have the most disappointing season with no titles. Deegan had a 250 SX title this year and Hunter the 450 MX title. Maybe Prado, Tomac, RJ, Webb etc. as they all finished behind the three you mentioned.
Yup he is insufferable!!!

it happens when your boy goes 0-22 and never led a lap....deegs dangerboyz suffered cerebral and emotional trauma when they realized he wasn't competition for the brothers.
it has to hurt....
I bet Deegan cried Saturday night.
There is no conspiracy. Jett let Hunter win the title. Is what it is. Human doing human things for their family. People who think 'no way' Jett would do that don't understand human psychology and deep family emotional bonds. You are fooling yourselves. Time to move on.
I am basically where you are at on this..
Agreed Jett let Hunter win…we all saw what we saw. Anyone calling this a “conspiracy” is not being honest with themselves..I wish it wasn’t the case..
It may be time to move on, but this title will always be associated with what happened and that sucks for Hunter because I do think he was the best guy..
You don't think reigning champion Jett wouldn't lay off to help out winless big bro? He did. Sore ankle theory don't hold water on a 20th start........Jett probably thought, I'll lay off the start and give winless big bro an easy lead, but Hunter's crash into Deegan made the throw painfully obvious......
Yes. Many younger brothers idolize their older brothers and would not hesitate to make a sacrifice for them if they feel they have had more than their fair share of success over the other. I can relate.
You are right about moving on. This won't be forgotten by many. But I actually have no issue with what Jett did. Just too bad he didn't do the deed a little more smoothly. You could tell he was totally flustered after seeing Hunter on the ground.
The problem with the "so what" people?
It's wildly against the rules. Banned from the sport is a potential punishment... (not that the AMA would ever do that, even with irrefutable evidence)
I don't know what happened, and I'm not going to proclaim this or that happened, but I did go back and rewatch moto 1 and from my perspective, it's worse the second time you watch versus the first. Jett is practically just rolling around at points in the moto, struggling with Mark Fineis and Jed Beaton . Remember what the moto world said when Prado did that just 1 year ago???
It's sad we're at this point and I hate conspiracies, and I typically refuse to choose a side, but without Hunter falling, nothing looks like it does today, so I'm torn. We'll never know and it's done and over with... So water under the bridge I guess.
If the championship was fixed in regards to Jetts riding/results, my question is, do you think Hunter was in on it? Was this something Jett and the family discussed behind closed doors or was this completely orchestrated in Jetts mind? If this was a fixed chip, there's no way Hunter knew about it. And if he knew it was going down that way, I wonder what he thought during/after the first moto? I wonder what he thinks now. So scandalous lol
The AMA can't say a thing about someone 'not trying as hard as they should or could'. It's so easy to get a mid-pack start if you want to. It's so easy to just back off and cruise around. The AMA can't do anything about that, nor should they.
I bet Jet's biggest regret was not running down the 38 in moto 2. Was for me.
Next years is gunna be great. 5 smoking fast riders, Hunter, Prodo, Jet, #38 and Lucas Coenen.
I hope they all make it thru SX healthy.
For the X Files people: when did this "conspiracy" for Jett to take a dive get cooked up?
In advance, because everyone within the family agreed it was Hunter's turn? Was Honda in on it, and if not should they be pissed for $$ reasons? Did Jett come up with it ahead of time and just keep it to himself? Or did it occur to Jett in the spur of the moment when he saw Hunter was down and suddenly Jett was overcome because Hunter was jinxed by another fall at a critical moment? I mean, there's got to be some coherence for something to be a plan or, God forbid, a conspiracy.
All presupposing Jett doesn't care about his own title legacy and would just go F it when he's a point down going into the last round, when atbthis stage of his career he's already lost multiple title seasons to injuries and is hobbled with something now that's more likely to impair him in the future than the past ACL stuff. All presupposing that Hunter so lacks pride he would want it that way, as if anyone who's seen Hunter handle his business can imagine that's the case.
That's a lot of BS to package against Jett got reinjured and couldn't deliver. What a load of crap. Guys who succeed as these two, and others champions have, don't think that way.
I think Jett decided when Hunter fell, and no one ever said Hunter wanted it this way.
That also wouldn't be irrefutable evidence... Like a team member saying they wanted Hunter to win, so XYZ happened.
But is that the integrity in the sport you would expect?
About half way through Moto1 when Jett looks back to “find” Hunter as they cross the start straight. Yep. He wanted Hunter to catch and pas him. Generational Jett never looks back.
Pit Row
My guy deegan beat prado straight up more times then not and placed ahead of him in the championship.
No way. If it was fixed it was Jett acting on his own. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t type of thing. That family is in some really deep shit now with the fan base and media. What I’m wondering is does it blow over or does it follow them forever or worse does it crush them?
Yeah, IF it happened, it would have just been Jett. No way the team or the family would have known.
And it blows over quick…
Yeah I agree, when Jett is crowned SMX champ here in like a month or so it will be all spotlight on the golden boy again.
I'm at peace with it now. There was no colluding with Hunter you coud see post 1st moto he was as dumbfounded as anyone. There was no monetary gain infact they lost money as Jetts bonuses are bigger. Worst case scenario Jett did it through brotherly love.
I don’t believe for a second, that Jett would let Deegan pass him for any reason. If he could have fended off he would’ve.
pretty sure Prado just went 1-1 for overall win at Ironman. Prado Had a fair number of holeshots this year and qualified well nearly every race. Don't remember Deegan leading a single lap this year or winning an overall? Deegan qualified near the top as well and I think had more podiums than Prado but the moto wins and overall gives him the edge over your guy Deegan for anyone beating the other straight up. Scoreboard.
You would be wrong on that. Lol. Actually, the only way Jett would accept Deegan beating him like that would be if Jett 'let him' do it. And he did.
certain riders have championship bonus escalators in their contracts too, especially when it’s already previously signed and when you win a championship the next year goes up quite a bit. who knows. We’ll never know
This is delusional. Pro moto keeps a score board and deegs beat prado fair and square. Makes no difference if the Lawrence’s were there or not. Deegan amassed more points over the 11 round series than prado did. Therefore he finished ahead. It ain’t rocket surgery.
Anyone who does not see exactly what Jett did is blind or just refusing to except reality. You’re telling me Jett could not pass anyone, mid pack riders he normally passes by the dozen for 3 laps? Just look at who he “couldn’t” pass and his lap times through the entire race. Give me a dam break. He was waiting to see where Hunter was. It was planned from the go when he tanked the start. He dropped anchor immediately when he saw Hunter went down not knowing how bad it was. I have no feelings either way but I understand his especially after Hunters supercross heartbreak. Its highly unlikely Hunter would have ever got a title with a healthy Jett. He barely got one against an injured Jett.
