Sorry if this has already been discussed but where was Mitch? Would have liked to see him on screen when Kitchen won.

Dylan has the most championships for a French rider? How many did Bayle have? I thought Bayle won 3 in one year.

Ricky saying prado should just let deegs by was the most mind blowingly dumb racecraft I’ve ever heard. Did ricky throw his brain in the dumpster? How did this guy win championships lol. 

Deegan needed prado to get worse than 2nd so if prado lets him by that gives deegan the chance to knock prado down or bunch them up. It puts prados destiny in deegans hands. 

Prado needed to do exactly ONE THING ONLY and thats run away to the checkers at all costs and thats exactly what he did. Holy shit I’m glad prado didnt heed rickys dumb ass advice. 

Ricky never had to do close math when he was racing. He’d just always win.

As much as I dislike deegan he has all these old guys covered already, the class is super old and stale thank god for prado and some new blood coming over from europe and moving up soon. Ken at least still has some speed left but even he said he has 1 year left max and may even retire after smx. Class is going to be wiped out soon but thankfully theres gonna be some fast guys to replace the old guys. Going to be a weird few years as the 450 class completely turns over. It could honestly be pretty stacked once the churn is over with jett, hunter, prado, deegan, lucas coenan, davies, kitchen, sacha coenan.

Jett, Hunter, Haiden, Jorge, Lucas, Sacha in a couple years, Davies probably after next year… the series is completely fine. We rarely ever have 6-7 guys who will have a legitimate chance to win any given race. I think that’s what we will have for the next couple years.

Great event. 

A little dialing of the track and it could be an A+.

Dude just go away. Jorge and Haiden both looked great. I was rooting hard for Jorge, but I’d be a complete idiot if I couldn’t acknowledge that Haiden rode great as well.

Dropped your brother in law twice on a track that apparently no one could make up time on. Keep silent Don, your true passion is showing.

If roles are reversed Jorge prob doesn't pass Deegan either. Track was very hard to pass on

Not gonna lie prado has to laugh a little bit with smx calling itself a world title when hes won real world titles. We need to cut that shit out lol baseball is the world series too. Its a national title and theres nothing wrong with that our national title is just as good as the mxgp title. Calling it a world title tho is just unnecessary and sounds crazy. 

Aaaaanyways good last race

RC4 couldn't stop glazing deegan it was annoyingly obvious who he wanted to win

For real. & how about RC saying just T’ him up? Like that’s an acceptable move. Feel like they dock for aggressive riding 99% of the year but Ricky just going to promote & advocate for aggressive riding? Seems weird to say that multiple times on the broadcast.

What’s your point? My point is, they both rode great. They straight up dropped Hunter (the 2026 MX champ) and Cooper (the 3 time SX champ). They both fought hard and rode great.

RC only wanted one person to win, and it wasn’t Prado. Stewart was great though.

That wasn’t real Hunter Lawrence.  He had no intensity.  His mindset was in offseason already.  Dude needs a break after that season.  He’ll be ready to go again in January.

In first moto Prado similarly couldn’t pass Webb. I was skeptical of 2nd moto but Prado stepped up, endured being hounded by Deegs the whole moto. Deegs did great that moto, Prado just did better.

I think youre probably right lol. Ricky never had to actually worry about any of that crap cuz he either won everything or occasionally got beat by james or chad as he was trying to win. He sounds like an idiot trying to do the racecraft thing because he is actually COMPLETELY out of his element having to think about any of that crap. He was going for the win 100% of the time. Thats pretty wild.


-That being the case tho he should just stfu on the broadcast about it then lol.

He has 2 fucked up hands with on one hand the ligament is supposedly torn in half. He was done. He got his championship, hes over it for the year. I’m just curious if hes going to have to get surgery now that its the off season.

Thats RC.  He not only has his favorites but also has the guys he doesn't want to see win.  
Stewart is a fan of all the riders it seems.

RC was probably thinking about when he let Chad win some races but still won the title.
