It's A1 - ANYTHING can happen. Plus it's an incredibly deep field.
I got ET3, CW2, and Jett as my top 3. I am already second guessing myself. Hell, Barcia used to like A1 a bit, right?
CANNOT WAIT for Saturday. Then we go racing Sunday. My fave time of year!
Nah....this was last year. I think it was actually MX Guy who started a thread that said Tomac would never win again. Whoever it was, they got torched when Tomac won last year. Can't find the thread, OP must have deleted it.
No Chase?
Not top 3. And I could very well be wrong. Really tough choices for top 5 this year, so many possibilities. Kenny, ando, chase, barcia, coop, hunta, AP, and more!
The Shop
I feel like people can’t differentiate between that they want to happen and what they actually believe will happen. I want Eli to win. I think Jett will win. I want the Packers to win the Super Bowl. I’m still going to bet on the Chiefs
I think he can, but hope he doesn't live and die by the scoop tire.
Tomac does not have the speed of Jett. It's the changing of the guard, and every few years it happens. Jett is simply better than everyone else at the moment. He's on path to break records (though I don't see him breaking McGrath's record), and is undoubtedly the best rider in the world.
Chase was the fastest SX rider in the world in 23’ before he got on a totally different bike. He will be top 2 this year. Screen shot and bank on it.
I'm a big Sexton fan, but I don't know about this narrative that Chase was faster in '23. Sure he was willing to send it more often, but we saw how that turned out, lots and lots of crashes.
Eli won at the beginning of the season, A1 after crashing. He crashed at Round #4 Anaheim 2, and that beat him up a bit. (I saw it in person, it was a gnarly crash and took him a little while to recover) And he was gonna win in Denver, a race he didn't need to win, but wanted to win, before he tore his Achilles. So he started the season winning, was gonna end the season winning and did what he needed to in the middle.
Just like in '22 MX, Chase had a large points advantage at the beginning of the season, Eli closed that points gap that Chase had over him, and he won when he needed/wanted to.
I think if Eli consistently sends it, Jett & Chase will have a battle on their hands. I'd put the 3 of them at their best all within 1% of each other speed wise.
We'll find out soon enough!
Has Eli ever passed Jett?
I think, and hope, we're going to see a tight back and forth battle between Jett and Chase all year.
With Tomac and Webb lurking close behind for the scraps.
Hunter will be a factor as well.
But where ??
That's the question.
I think Webb is healthy for the first time in a couple of years. If his hand is healed and he can hold onto the bike for an entire main, like he used to with ease,..Webb will win a few races and contend for the title.
Just sitting here eagerly awaiting Eli’s next X post
So you are effectively saying he can't "hang" with Chase or Hunter? I think he's capable of latching onto any of these guys. Will he pull a crazy combo to win? We will see. What if Jett crashed trying to build a gap? Will that be a faster rider like the Chase circa 2023 you speak of? Its 2025...it's a healthy, well prepped ET (aka Extra Terrestrial) here to ride his last year. I think he' here to wreak some revenge on all that past you speak of.
Your words are stamped 😉
I gotta see him stay off the ground for 10 rounds first.
I don't think so. But Jett has definitely passed Eli multiple times - and with authority.
He did pass him in a couple of Jett's bad races last year. I hate to admit it but Jett also wadded himself trying to catch Tomac at a triple crown last year. I mean, all of these guys are fast and pretty close in speed. It's more of who can maintain the given pace at each round.
After absorbing the raw practice footage from today... Nope. A handful of races? Sure.
In a game of inches, Jett is somehow finding more than that. He looks unreal.
I want Tomac to take the championship... I'd never bet on it though.
Pit Row
I think Tomac will win a couple this year and podium a few races but no way he keeps up with Jett, chase and hunter for 17rds. There’s nothing wrong with that either, his legacy is sealed. He’s got nothing to prove.
Tomac looking hungry on press day. He's gonna let the big dog eat this season.
I hope they all take it to Jett.
I want to see if Jett has reached/is close to his ceiling.
They doubt us and they doubt the 3. Shame.
He wasn’t faster by .072 either😎
Beast mode is back baby.
Man ET3 came out swinging! P1 in Q1 and Q2 against this field at this stage of his career? Respect.
No Elito Mac this season…. Stamp it.
He looks fantastic and the stop watch supports it.
I still think Webb will be the guy most likely to challenge Jett this year. He is supposed to be healthy and able to hold onto his bike for an entire main like he always could.
But it certainly looks like Eli may be the guy.
If hang means finishing 10+ seconds behind Jett then yea he can hang.
Lmaooo did you watch Anaheim one or is this a troll?
Been awfully quiet in here since last night.
"10+ seconds behind Jett" comment.
Apparently, he confused Chase Sexton with Jett Lawrence ??
Aside from the strange quoted comment,..I think that some or likely most of the comments here, are predictions/opinions based on the scope of all 17 rounds.
Post a reply to: Can Eli hang with Jett in '25?
