Jett Lawrence Let Ken Roczen Win In Round 2 Of SMX Playoffs In Chicago!?

Jett Lawrence let Ken Roczen win moto 2 of the second round of SMX playoffs in Chicago. There are few things that you might have missed while watching it live, and I break them down in today's video!
This video is all about love and respect for two of the greatest athletes in the history of the sport. They make our sport better, they're great role models and superb human beings.
I do not own the footage of Jett and Ken, I am merely reacting to it and providing my own insights and commentary.

If Kenny cleans Jett out next weekend I’m die 😂

[@ronchappel4812]

I think Jett's too childishly innocent to plan this as an insult. I understand Ken being pissed though. If he genuinely thought he could take Jett, this is super frustrating.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

I agree, I don't think Jett had any ill intentions with this other than to help himself with the points. He didn't mean any harm.

[@kYnTso]

Probably not going to happen and i guess the title is Jett`s to lose but It would be damn funny if Roczen somehow would manage to take the overall in the LA round with Jett finishing 2nd and Sexton 3rd giving Roczen a 1 point lead in the championship and also the title.

[@djm8027]

Look at the three of them at the debrief, jett looks so fresh and the other 2 especially ken look wrecked.

[@gdot6406]

So true! Clearly these 2 are insecure with Jett.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

I agree lol

[@liammacgregor1546]

If Jett doesn't pull away and dominate this weekend. I can see Roczen going for a very, very rough pass lol

[@donbrashsux]

Jett do what ever you feel like .. it’s a free world good on you

[@JacobPennisiMX]

He keeps it fresh, that's for sure lol

[@buckydoedowner9040]

Let him win was better than getting shoved out of the fckn way.

[@benhamilton-dh5sv]

Jet playing head games very clever though Kenny may beat him straight up so why not play with his head give him the win didn't make a difference to championship just messes with there heads and takes that feeling and Confidence of beating him straight up away very cleaver from jett

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Yeah, even if Ken had the speed Ken will never know for sure because Jett just sealed the deal by making it very obvious he let him by.

[@LeftThumbBreak]

Sometimes we forget Jett is still really really young. Whatever the reason and whatever Jett's response, it was silly. His mindset's going to need to change if Tomac comes back at full strength.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

You can tell he didn't really think it through...

[@wtfftw24]

I do agree. This is something won't do anymore

[@TheCoolerBrother]

Eh he’s old enough to know what he was doing he is a 20 year old man

[@frankiek2269]

I think Jett watched Fast Five the night before and took on the role of Dom, making Ken into Brian.

[@TheTashandchris]

FAMILY!!

[@mickpentoney2172]

I dont care for either Jett or Roczen. But Jett is about marketing ( thanks to his agent aka The Colonel ) and its all about image. Well I hope Roczen passes him lets him by then passes him again! It wont be long, the fans will turn on the Lawrences!

[@melissakelly5813]

No they wont😂😂

[@JacobPennisiMX]

I will say that people tend to like to see the guys at the top fall eventually. Will be interesting to see if that's what happens with these guys! I think it'll be a while.

[@edcook6438]

Ken roczen look great

[@CrackerrJack]

It was everybody gets a trophy day

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Hahah thats what it felt like

[@waynekavanagh745]

A new take on... Let Brock Buy.

[@fuzzy1514]

Head games won't work when Tomac comes back!

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Nope, even Cooper Webb said that he tried to mess with Tomac on the line and it never worked!

[@smokes..letsgo..]

It’s starting to become unbelievably funny how much Jett is screwing with these guys… and the mericans 🤣 keep it up, Jettson

[@Peoplesuck333]

Your a smart one 🙄

[@JacobPennisiMX]

No one can even tell if it's head games or if he's just doing him lol!

[@smokes..letsgo..]

@@JacobPennisiMX I don’t think he even knows. And that’s what’s so good.

[@smokes..letsgo..]

@@Peoplesuck333 you’re** not

[@philrarumangkay4434]

Arogant or Humblle???? Bubba did it to Reed to humilliate him😢,..

[@frankiek2269]

Difference was, Bubba let him get ahead a bit, and then just passed him right back easily.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

True lol@@frankiek2269

[@peterkonza6018]

Easiest win roczen will ever get jetts playing mind games with them don't think it will happen again thou ? Sexton looked pissed off on podium

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Sexton AND Ken looked mad lol. Would have been a bigger deal if it would have changed the overall.

[@asm-vw5jh]

He Just cant loose and say kes Roczen was faster 😂😂😂

[@woundedtiger7547]

Was it a Jedi mind trick? 🤔 😊

[@TheCoolerBrother]

Lol I commend Jett for actually being able to fool you all into believing he had to “let” ken by lol….he was getting caught and he knew it idc what anyone says 💀

[@johnharris7756]

Lol he clearly slows down and waves him past then proceeds to speed back up.. it was pretty obvious but still a stupid thing to do nonetheless

[@v8ko]

I agree, he knew he was about to get passed. Also that wasn't the weirdest thing that happened that night. Hunter short cuts the track in the second race on the first turn past the finish line and no penalty? Then Jo is looking at his bike, let's hunter pass and then holds the gap. I know what Jo said after the race but lap times tell an odd story.

[@jrich451]

I guaran MF tee you jett whoops his ass this weekend

[@janthonydrivenpatien]

Power move

[@dirkdiggler1567]

Busch league, as the late GREAT “Intimidator” said(Dale Earnhardt for you young bucs) fckn race

[@Jesusiskingamen7]

He would have won that’s no doubt

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Jett or Ken?

[@janthonydrivenpatien]

It's because he knows he was gunna get beat, and didn't want everyone to see that

[@kingohh5065]

Thats why he just won in LA right?🤣 salty mf

[@janthonydrivenpatien]

@kingohh5065 ken could have won Chicago imo. The prob is we will never know because of that punk move, and obviously it was just that, because he did get a warning of a violation from AMA.

[@kingohh5065]

@@janthonydrivenpatien a lot of things could’ve happened but one thing is for sure jett made one of the cleanest passes on ken at LA and won the race hes a good racer ken was good in his prime but he was never as good as Jett is now.

[@jaimeajoc9857]

Hahaha.. that's not the way competitive race , especially they are in opposing team 😅

[@philipekerin122]

Jet would have pants em all in that moto, ken only caught up because Jet slowed down & let it happen.

[@mikenimmick3920]

Say what you want...but Jett saying it was a "baby gift" was not a good thing to say. Better off he would have just shut up or said anyting racing related for Ken pasing him. This is not good in any way.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

I agree. If he was being genuine and wanted to do it for Ken, he should have just said he had a mechanical and not said anything on the podium besides that.

[@eriksforestryvision8751]

I think jett was getting passed, he took this baby gift thing as a smart move cuz he doesn't risk it. But really he might have been thinking so I don't get put on the ground and or shown up by kick start Kenny late in the race lol

[@jameshermes5576]

Kenny is not faster than Jett mate.

[@Peoplesuck333]

Yep Jett shit himself and got out of the way mate... he got scared 😂 what a little girl

[@melissakelly5813]

😂😂😂Kenny wasnt gona pass Jett

[@ShepardAmbellas]

Good job but you will get a copyright strke for posting that footage, I bet.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Hey thanks for the comment, but I believe I’ll be okay because of the amount of my own footage. The same as how people are able to make reaction videos to other peoples content. Now if I just posted someone else’s video and didn’t add my own value, then I would get a copyright strike.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Please let me know if you hear differently, the last thing I want to do is violate community guidelines!

[@dnnyshdy5189]

Letting him by was a good thing.If Ken was faster and he was going to pass, a mishap could have happened and he could have ended up on the ground.With the huge lead they had on Chase,why take the chance.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Definitely zero risk for Jett to let Ken by. Either keep riding the edge and maybe hold him off or let him go and still win the overall.

[@brianjones7681]

Let's not forget Jo let Hunter by also. And after the race Jo didn't really have a good excuse for why or what he thought was wrong with the bike. Kind of cheapens these races!!!

[@Shreddylife]

Something was obviously wrong with the bike

[@michaelhoward7652]

Just curious , where's joe going next year ,oh Honda thats right I forgot.

[@v8ko]

Yeah Jo let's him by and then holds the gap. What a weird night. Did you see the press conference before the race? The 450 guys were asked, by a show of hands who is winning tonight? Every racer there had his head down while Jett enthusiastically raised his hand. Looked very strange.

[@michaelhoward7652]

@@v8ko lol yes I did ,your right strange night all round .

[@Shreddylife]

@@michaelhoward7652 Give me a second, let me break out the tin foil hats

[@JaxMediaSolutions]

This the playoffs?

[@JacobPennisiMX]

Yes it is! Round 2 of 3. This one was in Chicago.

[@JaxMediaSolutions]

@JacobPennisiMX yeah I meant "we talking about playoffs" letting other people win haha atleast battle it out its the damn PLAYOFFS

[@JacobPennisiMX]

@@JaxMediaSolutions ahhh that makes more sense 😂😂

[@chriss7930]

Ken would have had him regardless

[@JacobPennisiMX]

That's what I think too... would have been a bigger deal if it would have changed the overall.

[@chrisreetz4117]

Even if you did let him by keep it to yourself makes himself look like an idiot by announcing it to everybody

[@JacobPennisiMX]

That's what I think as well. If he really wanted to do it, he should have blamed it on a mechanical and not said anything else on the podium.

[@eldiablo4616]

That was disrespectful, i know he is unbeatable right now but he should've not done that

[@JacobPennisiMX]

To be honest, I'm not sure Jett meant any disrespect, I think he was honestly just trying to help himself out by giving Ken more points than Chase. But regardless, Ken was disrespected and I would have felt the same way if I were him.

[@tt4570]

The dude just won every Moto in outdoors, I’m sure he had the whole field covered, he can do whatever he wants and screw everybody else for talking sh*t about it.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

He's so confident right now because he KNOWS he's the best guy out there, the only way he doesn't win right now is if he has an off night, and that doesn't happen very often.

[@v8ko]

Won every moto while the top 7 riders weren't there for the entire season. It's okay too be a jett fan and know he accomplished that task without much competition.

[@iron-brigade]

yep - Roczen was going to blow past Jett - Jett saved face by letting him go. Roczen had Jett set up 3 different ways to win the race.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

That's the argument anyways. We'll never know for sure, that's the bummer.

[@iron-brigade]

@@JacobPennisiMX yeah - I think people are forgetting that this is one of the only times all summer that Jett has had someone on his ass with a couple of laps to go. I honestly think he was shell shocked and didn't know what to do - his "wave by" was actually a quick reaction to being confused.

[@nico-benkellerman977]

wow so everyone is pissed because he is so good that he can give up positions as gift! Good on you Jett, you are on a different level to the rest and they hate it!

[@AcesWildMMA]

Some people want to watch racing, not hand me down victory’s

[@codysb05]

Jett would have won if he wanted too though.

[@BenWilson24]

Jett still had the fastest lap of the race

[@jorgecarlos4414]

a Coward

[@JacobPennisiMX]

I agree as well.

[@1Up1Down]

Roczen would have never won , Jett shoulda turned the afterburners on fuck roczen 🤣🙅🏻💀

[@ronaldbaucom6297]

This is 1 of the reasons i have no respect for foreign riders !

[@danielresch2975]

He was scared and he should be penalized for that but that's the way the numbers fallbut he didn't have to let them by because he was going to pass his ass anyways 😛😛😛😛😛😛

[@therealbanksea]

Jett would of won if it wasn't for his math lol

[@gdot6406]

I see a washed up, GOAT and a sidekick lol

[@AcesWildMMA]

Lost a lot of respect for Jett. That was very lame

[@Peoplesuck333]

Ok what Jett did was 💩 stop with the jetts so smart and playing mind games BS. Kid couldn’t shake KR period and came up with a little boy excuse. Your paid to race your ass off, nothing more. He embarrassed himself his team and most importantly the sport. I guarantee that will never happen again. If you support what he did your no real motocross fan at all, just a Jett fan girl that don’t know anything. You Race to Race that’s why it’s called racing.

[@JacobPennisiMX]

I'm definitely curious to hear what Honda had to say about Jett letting him by. I would be they weren't too happy.
