Would your opinion change at all if this was his 3rd season in 450s? His speed is incredible still but this unforced error stuff while leading is bad. Btw it is his 3rd season.

Chase Sexton is only in his second season in the 450 Class and his results are much better than Eli Tomac's early years in the 450 Class. Eli Tomac started racing 450's in 2014 and struggled several seasons with injuries and being the bridesmaid to Ryan Dungey and Cooper Webb until he won the 450 title in 2020. Kinda funny how some people are baggin on Chase Sexton's crashes, but he and Eli gave us one of the best battles for motocross championship in 2022. I think Chase is doing incredible for only his second season in the 450's.

Yep. The difference between 99.8% and 100.2% is small but significant. When Chase figures it out, he could dominate for a while. And we’ll be having the same conversation about the Lawerence brothers!

I think you're right.

Chase doesn’t seem to have the confidence (or the sense) to realize he can back it off a hair when the track is going off and still win. JS did the same things, always had to prove he was the fastest by a wide margin and frequently crashed as a result. It seems like Chase needs to realize that Eli is an all timer and when you’re gapping him by that much you’re probably going too damn fast. At least my opinion anyway. Jett seems to have mastered the smooth getaway.

My favorite part is that Ricky had just said- “Chase is just cruising at this point, he has broken Tomac at least for this race.” And not two seconds later Sexton was on the ground. 😂

I bet my wife , with about 8 minutes left in the main, That Chase is going to slowly pull away then have a couple ooooohhhhh moments before have a wtf are you doing , giving it to Tomac. Needless to say I won the “ undisclosed prize “ and now Myself and Eli are both winners last night. All joking aside , I feel for the guy, its got to be demoralizing. To be that close that many times and just not be able to pull it together. And to have Ricky in the booth just hammer you every...

seems like most of his big moments have something weird happen with front end tucking or knifing in a strange way. happened last year when he tacoed his front wheel in SX and it also happened at Pala last year… is it his riding or the bike, why is honda making weird frame adjustments if there isn’t a problem of some sort with the frame?

It's the dreaded Honda hook. Watch many of his crashes and they are very similar. He even mentioned it just happened.

Regardless the speed and form is impressive for his 3rd year.

Not a fittness issue.

An exhibition race, in ‘Party season’ with a depleted field isn’t the best gauge of performance. when will people understand this?

Why are people still confused when he did this last year

I don’t know what happened. He was running 5th then all the sudden he dropped anchor. I hate it for him because I really want him to do good especially on his new bike. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s literally not true and this is terrible advice

Don’t do this.

Herlings is a great example of mentally strong. It always seems the more pressure he’s under the better he performs.

Maybe Sextons issues are due to his parents naming him Chase instead of Leader.

Id have to agree with you but sence his arm injurys its hard for me to say whats do to health vs the mental but an incredible athlete either way
