2024 Supercross Thread

With the field stacked like it is, I doubt he wins another race. Miracles do happen though. Everytime he has to kickstart the bike I just laugh.

 

I’m listening to Bubba’s latest YouTube video. He doesn’t seem like much of a Jett fan. He’s pretty hilarious.

 

Pulp had a good post-race podcast this week. JT spoke about Eli's part as a lapper and how that seemed to counteract Webb/his own team mate. Webb even mentioned it at the post-race presser. I noticed it during the race as well and find it odd no one else is talking about it. As soon as Eli let AP go by, he latched to AP's rear fender and never let go until a mistake later on in the race. It looked like Eli was pushing AP to keep him from letting off and giving up the W. Eli was visibly faster than AP the entire time, too.

Edit: I spoke too soon, Bubba does mention it. Just a different view of what went on.

 

I don’t see an issue as long as he wasn’t interfering with 2nd place. Tomac would have been a contender for the win if he hadn’t fallen.

Bubba made a good point about respecting your fellow riders and how it doesn’t appear Jett has much respect towards anyone else. The complete opposite is Plessinger. Look how many other riders came over to give him a hug or congrats when he won.

 

I felt it was interfering with second place a bit, but just my opinion. The stuff Bubba said about Jett is definitely valid. He's got a bit of damage control to take care of now after San Diego.

 

So I had this dream that they let me race AMA on a 700cc 2-smoke. I placed.

 

2 strokes were a totally different era. Can't really justify them for racing anymore unless it's for fun or red bull straight rhythm type events.

Jett's been getting bombarded on social media and apparently has unsubscribed from several in the sport including buttery films, Anderson, ect. Seems almost everyone including Brian Deegan and Seth Enslow have been giving him jabs. Quite comical on Jason Anderson's instagram actually.

 

This Jett vs Anderson drama is making for some good YouTube content. How crazy will it be if Anderson takes him out in a corner this weekend. Meanwhile Barcia must be happy that he’s finally not to blame…yet…

 

@AJH387 we miss you in here

 

Things are going a little bit different for Jett now that the big boys are all back from injury. It’s going to be an awesome season with all the different winners.

 

Some great racing tonight, that's for sure. Futures was pretty good too. That kid was not ready for that podium speech though. Lol.

 

2-2-5 for 1st overall lol. Gotta love the triple crowns.

 

Looks like the official results put Tomac in 2nd Plessinger 3rd and Anderson in 4th.

 

I’m happy Tomac got his balls back and learned how to go fast again. I hope he keeps it up.

 

Anderson docked a position for going from lastest to laster off the track

 

He must be pretty pissed. He made a huge comeback and gets penalized for what happened when he crashed at the back of the pack. The rules are the rules though and someone would be whining about it if he didn’t get penalized.

 

I’m a fan of JA21 but he clearly accelerated all the way past the whoops and gained time. 1 position is fair for what he did. Still rode great last night and showed he is a title contender.

 

Yeah, I heard AP say, "Oh, I'm third!..." but we didn't get any clarification right off the bat. Had to look it up. Other than that, JA rode awesome and showed what he's capable of. Such a good season! Can't wait for Detroit - keep in mind it's a day race. I'll have to watch the replay on Peacock.

 

Detroit should be a good one with Deegan in the 250’s.

 

Anyone taking odds on Forkner finishing a season without injury?
