And win the 450 title in his rookie year? Sounds outlandish but he's fast and has been a consistent rider in his career.
In a shot across the bow he was fastest in qualifying. He got good starts in both motos. Moto one he lost the mojo for a bit and Marvin and I think Webb passed him but he played it smart, eased back into a good rhythm and ended up passing both of them back. Yeah he crashed, but in the second moto he came in behind only Zach and Eli for 3rd place. Were it not for that crash he'd have possibly ended up second for the day.
Is he a contender, what do you think?

His age, support system/team, riding style, body type and intelligence make for one of the best packages I’ve seen in a long time.
I look forward to seeing Chase battle at the front of the 450 class for years to come.
Completely holding his own with the best in the class

I’m all for another guy in the mix for race wins, seems like it should be a good season.
Dungey's my favorite rider of the past 20 years...he's no Dungey.
Chase looks good, and id expect some podiums and even a win.
But as always, we just don't know.
Look at the Hype and expectations from AC9.
one of my fav riders, but careers and titles are so unexpected and the top 10 this year is actually stacked and super deep.
Although.. It also wouldn't be a long shot if Chase ends up in a title hunt from just being consistent.
1. Eli Tomac
2. Jason Anderson
3. Cooper Webb
4. Zach Osborne
5. Marvin Musquin
6. Blake Bagget
7. Justin Barcia
8. Adam Cianciarulo
9. Chase Sexton
10. Joey Savatgy
After just mocking this up I have Chase 9th...
Pit Row
Against all of the competition in 250 MX he had one moto win a zero overalls.
Weird stuff always happens at round 1. Lets see if he can hang with the big boys as the season progresses.
This is not a 2010 field, at the top or mid-pack... Fragile comeback Ben Townley and sick Chad Reed....
Everyone but Kenny is there and Marv is apparently good to go.
Regardless, he diced well with the best of the best out there, so I'm sure he's legit and capable of a win on the right day or right track. As far as a 450 mx title this year........I wouldn't think so, but like Webb winning the 2019 suoercross title...... you never know.
Don't underestimate his accomplishment of back to back SX titles, even if it is only the 250 East.
Yesterdays track was gnarly and he ran near the front part of moto 1 and all of moto 2.
Right now I have him ahead of AC, Barcia and Baggett; maybe even JA. I think he'll be more consistent than those guys.
Did you watch the race, guy?
Mud always mixes things up. The Track crew did a great job . . . the way the track rutted up made it as close to a mud race as you could get. Osborne rode a great race and deserved the overall. Tomac looked happy to get out of there 11 points down. Stewart is doing one hell of a job coaching Sexton.
I think if chase can swing a top 5 finish in the outdoor season championship standings he may be the thing to end hondas streak of title losses.
I'm not betting anything that he'll win this year in a stacked class but with good starts and consistency you never know. It's a long shot but it's probably a long shot for anyone but Tomac.
