The track layout is way different from 2015 to 2026, so comparing just the lap times doesn't really work.

You do that, and I will set up a stand selling brass knuckles so people can knock out the guys buying the saws. We both profit!

Monetizing everything and ruining the experience for the guy who can’t afford to upgrade is as American as apple pie these days. It’s a bummer.

Money - it's all about the money. More "VIP" areas than ever that take up real estate that the average fan used to be able to watch from. I used to go to Red Bud, made it there every single year for over 25 years and my friends and I stopped going because they have ruined the experience for the average fan. You used to be able to see at least half of the track if you were standing near the flag jump area, now they have the VIP structure behind the bleachers and even the fans that get to...

You talking about AP that was battling in the top 5 all day? That guy shouldn’t have a ride??

The 450 class lost Tomac, Sexton, and J Coop, all podium/win threats in the first 3 races. That takes away some depth.

I got to prep hangtown for Geico Honda when Eli was doing a test day. With barcia and canard. Eli was moving berms a foot every time he came thru. I was actually scared to get too close. I know that feeling.

I’m not a Johnny hopper fan whatsoever but I love Jett’s answer here. Class act. Him, his brother and the team.

Unless anyone thinks Jett is going to go 1-1 for the rest of his career then it’s likely the other guys in the top 3-5 will get a moto win here and there. Whether it makes any difference over the course of a championship is a different story. Years later I suspect that will be a bragging point - “I took a moto win from Jett”.

It's gold. If you act like a doosh you get treated like a doosh. Haiden thus far. Reving his bike behind Jett on press day. Posting socials using Jetts girls songs. Wearing a shirt with stabs at Jett and his partner. Getting in behind Jett in the practices. Cutting the track multiple times. Jetts response is warranted. SCOREBOARD. 6-0

He’s only two points behind Prado so far, and I bet Kawasaki is paying him a small fraction of what they were paying Prado last year. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him beat Chase when he comes back. I would have never picked him for a top 10 guy this summer. I was wrong.

You mean "marching" forward

Crying on the podium, you can tell how much that meant to him. Leaving there healthy and showing everyone what they're capable of, almost doesn't get better than this. I frikkin love this sport.

What’s up with JS calling him Prada all the time?

88 Kenworthy 500 national, got like 24/26 motos, got in RJ's way when he lapped me lol

Red Bud 1984 500 class

My dream was always to race one national, didn’t care if I got last place. I was an A class rider, had won local races and always wanted to line up with the best in the business, didn’t have any expectations, just wanted the experience. One of my closest mates who was a very similar speed to me qualified in one of the last spots for a national, I came to watch the race, he got a mid pack start, got dropped and lapped really quick and more than once. He got something like 38-36, when he came in after...

Along that line they gave huge respect to the Coenen brothers for coming over to race in America. I love the sportsmanship. It's what my father and coaches taught me growing up in the 70's and early 80's.
