Now that the season is over. Congrats to eli and great job by sexton. That being said sexton lost this title at budds. He should of left that race 10 points plus up on tomac. He was faster but kept hitting the ground every time he was on the track. We can look back and say colorado was a big mess up for chase but budds was definitely bigger. You cant say for sure how it all would of played out that day but sextons second moto ride was impressive. I see no reason why he couldn't of won that first moto as well. Sucks i was pulling for the 23 to win but et just straight up out rode him in moto 1 today and put the pressure on chase.
Sexton will be a champion. Stamp it.
Colorado moto 2- 3 points
Spring creek moto 1- 3 points
Budds creek moto 1- 8 points (if he got 2nd worse case)
14 points.
Lost title by 7
(Oh and at Washougal choosing a different line when behind Eli instead of falling over on him, another 3 point swing)
Gotta have some luck to win a title but too many unforced errors by Chase this year!
Jett seems the only one that will step up. Might be a real title fight next year

Otherwise it could turn into a snoozefest, no matter how talented the 23 is.
What’s it going to be like for him in 2024? I don’t remember the episode, but Mathis and more importantly Daniel Blair say Chase will not be at Honda in 2024 as Jett will be the main guy at Honda.
I've got Sexton with new glasses for '23.
You and I have seen a lot of races and more than a few really fast racers; but, as you’re pointing out, Chase is in that very small group of Dominant Riders.
Just one problem for Chase…especially “outdoors”…
So is Eli.
People talking about where or when this title was “won or lost” and all that silliness….
It was won and lost over 24 Motos.
When Eli made that sprint at the end of the 1st moto at Ironman & Chase still went after after him all the way to the checkers? Well, we knew the battle wasn’t gonna be over until the last moto of the year.
And…
It wasn’t, was it?
This was a great year of racing. Maybe there’s a few food races left…?
Sexton, J. Lawrence and Ferrandis...?
Pit Row
Please learn how to detect sarcasm.
Thanks in advance!
Jett, Chase, Dylan it will be epic!
I was referring to Ferrandis, AC, Mookie that were all missing this year. Ferrandis is way better outdoors than he is at SX. He will be Chases Eli next year. And Jett may surprise people next year. You never know.

I was at the Meadow Lands in 2019 when Forkner went out of the race and handed the 250 title to Chase. I was happy Chase got it because I'm not much of a Forkner fan but I did think that he kinda backed into that title. Boy has he proven himself since then!
Anything can happen next year but it's not like he's gonna forget the progression of his riding over the last few years. Can't wait for A1!
Jett has no such issues.
