Pro Motocross Thread

If Jett comes out 1-1 I'm definitely going to say wtf.
Chase being the healthiest guy I think has the best chance. It seemed like Chase last year got the bike pretty dialed in towards the end.

 

Chase has to be the favorite at least first half of the season. Once everyone gets back race fit should be interesting. Stacked field. Jett had the honda setup perfect last outdoor, but hes been out for a long time and ACL can be a tricky recovery.
If Deegan can get his speed from last outdoor and keep his race day get it done hes a lock if he stays healthy. Never know with how WOT he always rides.

 

Jett is going to wax everyone today

 

What the hell, if his conditioning is good he's a lock. How is he that fast after not racing all of supercross? and coming back from an ACL?

 

Didn't know we had a separate thread for mx..

Nice ride by Jcoop. Bummer for Sexton.

Hoping hymas gets a good start again and keeps it rubber side down second moto.

 

Fucking battle of the Year for the lead and we're watching the guys in 3rd and 4th

 

25 seconds on 3rd place for fawks sake

 

Sexton doing Sexton things! Pull over and get some freaking goggles! How did he think that was going to go with 30 mins and 2 laps left?

 

He’s just flat out dumb. Supposedly a rock broke his googles so he was going to ride the race without them. Brilliant.

 

I don’t think Chase was racing moto 1 to win, just salvage a decent position. Grabbing goggles at that early in the race would have let a fleet of fast dudes gain a significant amount of time in him. So I can understand not pulling in right away. But that isn’t what did him in - hitting neutral on landing is what did it.

 

Taking a rock to the eye would have done him in for life.

 

So drop a few positions knowing your going to have a sizable gap on pretty much everyone from, let’s say 8th and back, and ride your race. Or pull in on the first lap and have the entire pack pass you and then have to hang it all out to get back to the same position.

 

It’s a long enough race where he could come from dead last and win. He’s done similar before.

 

Deegan will be jumping on this bus next year.

 

You’re right. Just a casual last to first. Happens all the time

 

From Google:
Chase Sexton famously rode from last to first in the second moto of the 2024 Hangtown AMA Pro Motocross race. He had fallen in the second turn and started in 40th position, but ultimately passed every other rider to win the moto. This victory marked a historic moment in Transworld Motocross, with many considering it the best ride of his career.

 

Nothing gets past you buddy

 

It was not the right call, but it's understandable that in the heat of the moment he would have trouble making a fully considered decision. It's a lot to think about in the middle of a race when you're already occupied not only with all the normal dirt bike racing stuff (lines, track surface changes, protecting your position, etc etc etc) but now also having to protect your eyes.

What he should have been more willing to do is outsource that decision to the team, who have more bandwidth to reason it out.

 

Chase doing chase things as stated. Nothing else to be said there SMH.

Deegan just toying with everyone go and ride for 15 minutes thinking you are good and then I'm outa this bitch. Demoralizing. I think it bites him later if someone puts in a good ride, but damn if he didn't put in a couple statements.

Jett..... what in the literal fuck. Kid is unreal. Tomac kept him honest but even Jett said he would rest let him catch up and then pull away where he knew he was faster. Literally cat n mouse with a legend in Tomac. Best race in recent memory, Tomac was all over him and they were ripping so fast the gapped a fast 3rd place by 30 fucking seconds!

 

Chase out for this weekend
