Lawerence bros both on the podium @ seasons end 💯

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

Hunter will crash out. Jett probably undefeated

[@rad9693]

@@MichaelAMyers1957 Im guessing Jett wads it goes out on injury, and Sexton wins it.

[@seanhaberman4619]

​@rad9693 not happening. Even if Jett gets hurt, Chase is going to struggle on the KTM and Ferrandis will beat him.

[@BentonFilms]

​@@rad9693Definitely a guess because nothing in the past should have pointed you that way.

[@elyk-td3gq]

J coop is the only one in the field to have Jett on the ropes outdoors... Until washougal anyway. I think he's way underrated. See him top 3 by the end for sure if he avoids the "Rookie" mistakes.

[@Nicko_92]

Tomac, Sexton, Deegan for the 🇺🇸 2024 mxon team thats a solid team for the Americans

[@chickenlegs7122]

Great show

[@jdsaw100]

Thank you very much 😊...

[@roninsdog261]

Uuurgh RC still announcing. Isn't he due for a holiday? Please let him go on holiday.

[@kittyparty6925]

Stop talking crap about RC! He's not that bad and has good insight. I think Weege is more annoying. So what if RC messes up some words and stuff, at least he's not a goofy nerd, and he has a good sounding voice. What is wrong with all of you people hating on RC. STFU!

[@iteleski2]

Damn, I feel Pro Circuit is cursed!

Could jett be the first 100 million earner from just supercross and Motocross earnings

Oh my. The millions and millions.

[@LetBrockBye]

dont care if he does or doesnt, thats not why Im a lifelong fan

[@Gpx111]

@@LetBrockBye me two followed him since. His 65 days

[@aus-rider]

Absolutely he can and probably will, his riding contracts, podium payments, him and hunters meet and greet track side, his donuts, his clothing line and sponsors, the list goes on, the kids the best on the planet and deserves it all.

[@bobbyrodrigue1985]

I would bet he is doing 10+ mill per year at this point in his career.

Savatgy was ripping on that pro circuit 450 a couple years ago. Bet hes going to be good on the 250..

[@Boosted97GTP]

Pro circuit 450? 🤔

[@zim7489]

only 250 class worth watching this year

[@JamieJohnson-vg4dm]

That would be stupid if Jett lets his brother win a Moto.. Hunter needs to earn it... Jett is going undefeated again 😅 let's gooo deggs

[@Benjamin8019]

I’m a fan of the Lawences and that would be terrible for fans!

[@davidhaworth7152]

I don’t think there’s any way either of them would be ok with that. Especially Hunter

[@stalliondave9338]

Agree on the Hunter win, also Hunter is a racer i doubt he would want to be gifted one and not just be the fastest

[@thebird9197]

Idk, I think tomac, Webb, or Hunter have a good chance of taking that win streak.

[@seanhaberman4619]

​@thebird9197 Webb? Hahahahaha yeah right. He won't be in the top 5 outdoors.

[@joeschmidt6597]

Can we stop calling teams and their riders who have signed contracts paying them to race a "privateer" or "privateer team" when they park a full sized race semi and overhang in the pits at every race, have a full time race staff with multiple trainers, mechanics for each rider, suspension and engine dev guys, multiple sets of engines, suspension, and parts in their semi. That isn't a fucking privateer. Coty Schock, who gets his bike washed and has a brand new set of tires put on after a 6 minute heat race, and the guy who has his dad as his mechanic or no mechanic at all in a van paying out of pocket are not even remotely the same.

[@brianmitchell2541]

It’s Australia’s year for MX of Nations shoot it’s Australia’s year in MX SX for next 10years or so let’s go jet

[@user-fc1zs1wh9g]

so is it supercross or motocross ?

[@Superjet113]

Right now they are talking about MotoCross(MX) which starts tomorrow.

[@czardusty]

Motocross. First 17 rounds are Supercross then the next 11 rounds are motocross. Both of the series are now combined under one umbrella called SuperMotocross. After 11 rounds of motocross, we have three playoff rounds for the Supernotocross championship which is a mix of both Supercross and motocross

RC IS Thee Goat!!! JL next. Tom Viel !!! The 2X champion is hungry!!!

[@FanofMoto]

If vialle is hungry then deegan is starving

[@scottB800]

sexton will give jet a challenge this time round i think

[@kittyparty6925]

Hope so. Seemed like everyone was a bit slower last year and it made Jett look good. The year before Tomac and Sextons speed would have made it hard for Donuts

[@seanhaberman4619]

​@@kittyparty6925Sexton said he was going as fast or faster last year than he was against Eli.

[@carrieevans5411]

Agree !!

[@FanofMoto]

450: Jett, Chase, either Jcoop or Hunter 250:Deegan, Vialle, either Kitchen or RJ Washougal last year looked a lot like Villopoto by Haiden. The only reason he didn’t win the Sx title is because he spazzed and threw tantrums. I think getting humbled by losing the title in Sx has matured him, if that is correct then there’s no way Vialle beats him in the championship. Hunter won’t be as good as everyone seems to think he will be though we could see a moto win and definite podiums. JCoop is the same question mark. I’m hyped to watch the season, just hoping Jett doesn’t go undefeated again 😂

[@slayer6936]

That's mine exact picks also. Plus, Haiden actually rides R.V. I've been saying that for 2 years now.

[@carisi2k11]

The west clearly has an unfair advantage with the extra round in SX.

[@tHeMoThErFuCkEr605]

🙄 I cant handle Ricky all summer man please bring in AC#9

RC - "Allow myself to explain myself"...

[@elyk-td3gq]

"The reason that I say that" 😂

[@kittyparty6925]

I think you guys need to stop hating on RC. He does pretty good and has good insight. So what if he jumbled up his words a bit and stuff. Way less annoying than Weege, at least he's not a dorky nerd.

[@elyk-td3gq]

@kittyparty6925 I'm not hating on RC. I think his insight is great actually. Just needs to figure out how to articulate his words instead of repeating himself.. lol Also, I mainly liked the comment for the "please bring in AC#9"...

[@DonnyBerger]

Thanks boys! So much better without Steve Fatchick!!

[@slayer6936]

Jett will not go undefeated this year. I think JCoop, after a few races, will pick it up. Smith and R.J. need to move up 10. years in the 250 class is sad. R.J. already showed he can ride and win on one. But racing riders 10 years younger than you is kinda pathetic. I like RJ. But damm. R.J. has 4 in 10 years..!

Mxgp is so much better. The 450 guys actually race eachother down to the wire. Jett Lawrence is a punk and has single handedly turned me away from watching AMA 450 racing. Thank god for Mxgp.

[@andy347495]

im not a hater, and i want the best for every racer, but I have a feeling that deegan never wins a title. too many other variables are gonna Come into play.

[@uncle_choni20]

Not hating back, but I disagree there’s a select few in the sport that are naturally gifted (Lawrence brothers) and there’s those who just have the dawg in them and never lets off(Deegan) outdoors is his playground he’s going to dominate in the beginning but towards the end due to experience he doesn’t have yet he will fade. But will have enough points to win it all

[@andy347495]

@uncle_choni20 lol, how do you not hate back, especially when you're saying something good🤦🏻‍♂️. I figured that everyone would disagree with me. especially people who are on the deegan love train. haha😆

[@uncle_choni20]

@@andy347495 I mean you have a point, to many variables. The class is stacked. You got kitchen about to cook up in the danger zone or any other top 5 guys in that class. All of the excitement and following could just be pushing his motivation until he has a really bad season and we will never see a championship. But you have to remember he’s already got the smx championship under his belt as a rookie

@uncle_choni20 smx championship, gay. danger zone, gay. lol. that's just my feelings. this danger zone thing is just some slogan made up to help ratings and help weigant sound cool. it wasn't earned. Eli's beast mode was earned. baggets elchupacobra was earned. Dungey's consistency earned him the diesel. half a season into deegans career and no significant events or trends does not earn any type of nickname.
