Sexton on the gas. Only guy in the 1:58's. Gap to the leaders is shrinking.

There is zero reason for Jett to be on the track if he isn't going to pick off 20 guys and right now he's about 35 seconds back of scoring a point. Not sure the energy and risk is worth the effort. We'll see I guess. 

He usually puts like 3 minutes on 20th place. He should be able to make it to 20th unless he has to drop the pace later in the race

Yeah, I was kinda thinking the same thing. I get the whole "never pull off" thing but he doesn't even seem to be able to move forward at all so what exactly is the point?  Maybe at this point just testing his body to see if he's good to go or something?

Jett lost almost 5 seconds on Hunter over the last lap. Going to get lapped with 5 mins left at that pace. 

Riding in traffic doesn't help. Still running 2:02.

His bike looked bend aswell, but let's see. He's starting to pass now. I think he makes the top 20.

Going to be interesting if Jason catches Hunter. 

I was thinking Jason might…. But it’s looking like it will be Chase.

No matter how fast Chase goes he’ll never beat Jett head to head if he can’t do clean laps for the whole moto.

Imagine that in the only race where Jett crashes, he gets beat by Jetts brother. Can't make this up. Laughing

He’s about 30 seconds behind 21st.  Seems pretty likely.

How long is Chases' contract?

I believe it was 2 years with a 3rd year option.

Chase is very bad at identifying better lines mid-moto. He sticks with the same thing the whole moto even if it's clearly not the best option.

There's a 5 second gap between 1st and 2nd. I'd rather see some sort of racing/battles.

Had to walk away right after the crash. What exactly happened with his foot? Did he miss the peg when he landed or did his foot slip off at impact? Kinda looked like his right foot just went straight to dirt which could not have felt good

I blew mine out then worked a month on the hhg rig. My knee popped out a lot hvy lifting, etc. then I flew home & Had pt I said it feels like a knife stuck in the back of my knee every time I push the cart. They called me a faker & ordered a mri. Severed acl, I rode during that time it didn’t bother me.  A y member a star point guard in hs bball. Just had her surgery. I told her it’s more stable after surgery and that it’s a freak accident to blow your knee out.

I have torn ACL for last 25 years. Happened when I was living in USA. Surgery was out of question for a broke foreigner. I just suck it up with a brace for two  or so month. Eventually learned to live with it.

 went back to work in 3 1/2 or 4 months , ya had to stay a night in the hospital in 96. Worlds strongest hhg rig there’s no way you could fly around like Bruce Lee on crank and do the job. The knee well actually your lower leg ends up in a direction totally sideways to the femur. From hvy lifting , sliding stuff, etc. no stability .  Back to work too soon then blew everything in my shoulder out, broke the crap out my back.

Chase closing in

Jett is dropping the pace a bit now. 2.06s aren't going to take him to 20th
