[@stephenwilson1012]

Soo the Lawrence's were struggling on a 25 honda, but roczen got 2nd on a bike that hasn't been changed in almost 10 years... and ya'll already putting jett in the goat conversation?I swear the media can't get off jett

[@wubzco]

lol I think you answered your own question. Suzuki has had 10 years of working with the same bike. Every other manufacturer gets a few years then it changes haha. Roczen 25 champ 😎

Name another rookie who won all 3 championships in his rookie season… that’s why he’s in the goat conversation 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@alistersmart5440 a three race playoff isn’t a championship. Good for tv not a chip. 22-0 is wicked impressive. Ricky stew villo reed all the young pro circuit guys would try to gap 2nd by 20. Not a fan of the putting around

[@bobbyrodrigue1985]

I understand why you would think that. But when you have a new bike, it has to be developed for supercross. Sometimes that’s an easy process. Sometimes it’s a long road. Sexton struggled last season w the new KTM. It was a long road for him w that bike.

[@Lagger_94]

what will it take for you to believe Jett might be one of the greatest? Since the perfect season in MX and Rookie season championship win and 2 SMX championships. What else needs to happen i don't understand?

Fowler, your gaph about 250 SX winners is incorrect... Germany isn't on that list, when a rider named Ken Roczen (might have heard of him) won something like 4-6 races in the 250/lights class.

It is imperative to that motocross and sx is 90% rider and 10% bike. The best talent can win on anything.

[@bmotomo421]

If the bike was good enough to qualify in second position just a fraction of a second off the top qualifier, it's good enough to race.

Please pause for a moment of silence in honor of JT as he recovers from the tragedy of Jett's 12th place at Anaheim. It will be okay, JT. He only needs 65 more wins to beat McGrath's record.

[@Drtbykr1]

Jett needs someone with him, maybe a sports psychologist to shut off the noise. And roll the Rolls over his phone. If he was feeling it he could come through the pack some on a bored out 125. And stay away from 21, he will ruin his race to ruin Jett’s. I was never a big RJ fan but he could have made Mt. Rushmore if he hadn’t of gotten hurt which shortened his career, he was GOOD! What he did on a POS Yamaha before getting on Honda was heroic. Broc too.

[@toddsimone7182]

Am I the only one that gets nervous when Tomac hits huge triples or quads after the achilles injury? Hearing the doc doesn't make me feel any better. We can only hope he's fully aware and has taken all possible measures to minimize the risk.

[@brandonmaguire3868]

Why do guys constantly say the 250 class is not as dramatic or exciting. Way more drama and excitement in the 250 class. The 250 class are just as important. More times than not more exciting than the gentleman's club. The 450 are like WR in the NFL bunch of divas complaining about oh my setup.and don't push no one. You gotta race nicely. And if you don't you get shit on.

[@howardwest2707]

Is this like Supercross sponsored by Honda? It just seems like there is some clear favoritism going on. Basically, they've already crowned Jett and now jumping on the Shimoda bandwagon. Yet I hear nothing about Shimoda and consistency and all we here about Jett and Hunter is claiming the bike despite how they performed in qualifying. Is this AMA trying to build their own narrative and push what they want to happen?

[@Sh1tstir]

The Honda situation for me is weird on one hand the 250 looked really good, Joe's bike was phenomanl, then you look at the 450 and it was a long way off the mark so it was like one side of the garage put in work the other side it looked like they side they rested on their lawrals. Now we know that wouldn't have been the case........ Now we saw in Paris that the bike in qualifying looked unrideable then Jett goes out race time blows everyone away so is it a hit and miss job or are they just confused on which way to go.

So who forced him to the ground in the sand?

[@cknorris3644]

I knew it was going to be like this. Everyone knew they had to come out stronger in 2025 due to Jett if they wanted to have a chance. This isn't the same class as last year. And looks like Deegs got the starting curse again this year.

[@darrellmacdonald3652]

im done with all the excuses. lets just make it about 1 certain rider then when he looses make excuses. its racing stuff happens that effect the race ! why does it always stem to the bike ? yea i get it to a certain extent but the equipment these guys ride are lightyears ahead of a stockbikes. plus they just won supermotocross and jett was second off fastest lap time ! what they need to focus on is is not line up next to el hombre … hes gonna findem sooner or later.

[@kevo6767]

I think the fact Hunter did so bad too gives it merit that it was the bike.

[@maverick2242]

Agree, am not about excuses either, but there are other factors imo, nothing too do with the bikes! Track design esp the start, ridiculous and proves once again, who ever is in charge of this has little to no understanding of the riders abilities, the bikes capabilities esp off the start, the grate and tire influence! Its dangerous, lets just look at that for a sec, start of the season and you put the whole series at risk! No one got hurt, lucky, blind luck! The Jett issue was the start, most of that is on him, but a start that factors in the ECU, the paddle tires, the grate! Is critical and its imo is irresponsible for a series of this level with this much history to have such a poor unsafe design! it might add to artificially create a outcome exciting for some! I want to see all the riders get the best chance to race each other, take outs happen, but it should be natural not artificial and those above factors create that, when you have a funnel start design, almost go backwards on itself to get around. When you look at Deegan also affected and the fact no Star Yamaha rider made it to the box in either class with there numbers its not just an affect on Jett, would the outcome have been the same he or Deegan may not have won, but they would have been in better situations of the start didn't have such a effect on the outcome! I don't focus on the bike issues, that's there problem to sort and also agree am not interested in hearing it as an excuse! SMX and even Paris showed how good the bike was, the mistakes were on Jett there also ,the bike may not be perfect, but we know he made the last gen look better than it was as well, he won on an underpowered 250 compared to Star and PC easily so I don't buy it, its a factor but that's there problem not ours, today more than ever they have tech, they have so much resources, sort it out, just race and win, not whine! Though I don't believe its like the Sexton whining its more media making a thing about it than the Lawrence's!

[@jrvalle1321]

[@kcinbnavi]

This is my opinion, but setting odds and letting gambling get ,a foothold in this great sport may be the death nail for this untainted sport. If I can start seeing riders throwing a race on purpose, the whole industry will permanently loose a fan. I have been a fan of dirt bike racing since 1972, maybe before some of you were born. Gambling has everything to do with the love of money. I hope you all know that the love of money IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, and there is no telling what this sport will become. It will not be the showcasing of developed rider talent like it is now. It may even devolve into what the world can truly call "Ideocracy." This may make it more exciting for some, but as a whole will ruin the integrity of the sport. I will turn to all amateur sports, It is much more exciting because the participants make more mistakes.

[@bmotomo421]
