I wonder if you’re right about his setup? More often than not the front end is wadding up one way or the other. The internet warriors are calling for him to go to KTM.

Webb and Tomac had BETTER give some recognition to Sexton considering the wins and podiums he has handed to them. That kid could easily be a champion otherwise. He has to be mentally F’d at this point.

Agreed
Ive watched that bike very closely lately, if the front end is pushing I just can't see it although I expected to. Ive been suspicious of that all year, but really started watching what the front end was doing in the last 3 races. Maybe it is a loss of concentration, Im not sure, but going to team pumpkin is not really a step up, I think the HRC bikes are as good as anything out there and better than a lot of stuff out there. KTM would be a good bike, but I don't think a better bike, although KTM guys will argue that point all day. Ive never been brand loyal, I always got what I thought would be the best starting point in that year, we knew we would strip them down to the frame before we ever rode them anyway and get things where we wanted them. Sexton will do well on whatever he ends up on. Will he beat Jett next year when Jett is on the same bike? (setup for him of course) I don't know. Its gonna be fun to watch though! I think Jett will beat Chase more than Chase will beat Jett, but we'll see. Jett seems to be oblivious to pressure, Sexton seems to make himself overthink things if he is in the lead. Its been strange that most of his problems have occurred while leading and not chasing someone down, that makes me think its mental.
But I'm just a dumbass :LOL:
 
If Chase starts getting beat by Jett as a rookie, he might as well go to Europe and race FIM. He’ll be mentally toast at that point.
 
Another great race. I hate to see this happening to Chase, I hope he's not getting the James Stewart lack of concentration curse.

Roczen looks to be back in proper from by starting off strong and finishing a few spots off podium. Barcia still staying consistent and a wild card.

It'll obviously be coming down to Webb and Tomac, and I still give the edge to Tomac.
 
I hate to see Sexton having these problems, too. It's weird to me in that he seemed to make a significant positive step in last year's MX season, and still has really good speed. He really pushed Tomac. He doesn't look ragged or reckless.
 
Braking news! “Sexton demands a new team or he won’t race”.

Nice bike man how do you like those tires? Back one looks brand new. I’m running Dunlop MX53s right now.

Thanks. These are Pirellis. They’re fine, but I’m so green getting back into it I probably wouldn’t notice a different tire. That’s only my 3rd track visit on that bike since new.
