They obviously did it on purpose, trying to deflate the views because it's not one of their events.

How many times has he straight up beat Jett so far, two times - maybe three? Hunter has since made a jump, Prado and Deegan are not getting slower. Coenens and Davies are coming as well. It will be tough for Sexton.

I’m thinking they could get him on a solid “bonus based” contract -without- some huge sum for the base salary. But, here’s the ringer…he’d have to ride the bike and agree to some terms and conditions…that’s if the folks at Ducati are thinking right and acknowledging the history with this rider! 🤣 With that said, any brand should use that method. Look at the history with him on… Honda:” tuck the front”… and he left seemingly unhappy… KTM…left unhappy… Kawasaki…well…uh…yeah. Come to think of it… Michael Byrne went out and raced on his own when he had no contract. Barcia…same...

Do we think he's ridden the '27 KX yet? With a new frame, swingarm and the wheelbase change, this will be a significantly different bike than the '26. If it wasn't for the dispute about what happened at Thunder Valley, I would still say staying on the KX was the likely outcome. But none of us know... Frankly, speculation and bench racing is fun and here we are.

One thing I’m thinking of for Ktm, is their lack of an established SX guy to test and develop their new gen bike for 27. If Prado and Conen can’t get the feeling with the 27 who do they lean on? Not that Chase would be of any help there he seems very unique and not the tester for the stars, type.

My guess is that no matter where he ends up, there is language in the contract that puts an end to his public bitchin' about the bike, team, or company... Also, strictly prohibiting the demeaning wearing of branded apparel..! I was surprised that KTM took Prado back. I'll be more surprised if they take Sexton back. Especially since they have the brothers coming and Prado hittin' on all 8. The motivation from a corporate position would be that he's an American and they can probably get him cheap and hungry.

ok, first this is all in good fun, that being said why would Ducati hire, at a premium price by the way, with money they probly dont have, a highly visible rider like Chase, to ultimately tuck the front end, crash, ect, and then as history has shown, blame the bike and leave halfway through the season? Does this not make sense to you as why they wouldnt want to go down that road? Come on, you cant tell me Im wrong here, but please try.

I’m in total agreement with Brad on this. Also, I’ll reiterate my thoughts on Triumph’s dilemma and the easiest way to “do it right”… Build COMPLETE ENGINES with all the “New & Improved” parts and crate them… and ship them to Triumph dealers for installation. Leaking Castings/Bad Castings Transmission Failures Clutch Failures Valve Rocker Failures Tearing engines down to repair/replace all these issues at the dealer level is EXPENSIVE &…let’s be clear… This just doesn’t look good. Period. All the while, a complete engine from the factory costs less than most of us in here would believe and it sends...

Steady thyself.

And he still managed to finish on the podium with a 3rd overall.

I don’t think the bike matters much with Sexton. He tends to have the same crashes on every brand. It’ seems to be about technique and focus.

If all these guys are healthy...Chase will have a HARD time ever winning another race...Deegan, Prado, Jett, Hunter...plus even Roczen and Webb have all raced more than CS in the past year...and isn't Davies coming to the 450 ranks in 2028?? Sexton is on the older side of his winning days and he crapped on a lot of brands. Did he win, yes. Can he win now and actually be a championship contender again??...doubtful.

I heard ZX Moto

Well...he's sh*t on Honda, he's sh*t on KTM and now he hates the Kawi. All the while two of the brands have won A LOT without him. That's not a great track record of late.

How many teams even want Sexton any longer? I'm not so sure Kawi won't be relieved if he bails.

If I’m chase I’m asking for 10m a year two year deal. If it goes badly you’re set for life and can still find another ride afterwards

This is like Cannondale, only with way less innovation.

Same. I’ve seen two in the wild…ironically one belonged to a certain suspension guy with pending legal battles in that other thread.

If Chase went to Star, Id invest in the Pop Corn business. Can you imagine the sheet show that would be?

Either he leaves ...or he doesn't.
