SMX Insider - Season 3 - Episode 5 - A New Championship Picture

It has been an eventful few days since Chase Sexton captured the first triple crown race of the season in Arizona. SMX Insider is here to break down the Jett Lawrence injury news in the SMX Medical update with Dr. McGinley, and Clinton Fowler joins the show in SMX Facts to take a look at when Jett might return and how many points he will need to qualify for the playoffs. Jason Weigandt and Jason Thomas also look at Triumph’s historic win, the 30+ gang of veteran 450 racers, and much more.

Gotta hand it to Triumph. They came into the game swinging hard. Good to see Jordan Smith riding great too. Praying he stays healthy as he is great contender for the SMX CHAMPIONSHIP.

[@jasonbell5129]

I 2nd that man ,it doesnt matter how many years old Jordan we all Know how huge of an Accomplishment that is CONGRATS JORDAN AND TRIUMPH !!! BOY THOSE BIKES ARE LOOKING SUPER DIALED

[@ronross6]

The bike itself too..Working really good..just as fast or nearly... and seems really Balanced for a new bike.

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

Eli is on fire. Just gotta get those starts. He’s here to win and retire. Let’s go Tomac!!!

[@markbest5127]

It's his championship. Just get the damn starts.

[@doglover136_]

I think he races the rest of this year if he’s healthy, defends wsx title, then races one more year of sx then calls it

[@mikehatch1967]

Let’s go Tomac time to win the title that was stolen in 23

[@jasonbell5129]

JAMES IM MISSING THE REWIND SHOW?? I MISS YOUR INSIGHT !! ARE WE DONE OR MORE EPISODES COMING??

[@gawdszn302]

Frfr man

[@AK-Jordan910]

NBC is probably paying him not to honestly..

[@gawdszn302]

@ ahhh maybe they do have a pod w RC & RV ..after what Ricky did to Daniel Blair who knows..but I think he’s just overwhelmed his kids are really young & probably in sports & was just too much for him these days 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jasonbell5129]

@ if thats true that on some BS SUPER BS -When they could instead Sponsor his pod just like Ricky & RV's pod .As far as getting more exposure goes thats a no brainer

[@jasonbell5129]

@ I was thinking that something of that sorts bc we could all see heb was vibing from an outsiders perspective it looked like he was enjoying it and just steadily scaling his following . More then Anything we miss his Insight ,he broke things down only riders would understand and thats just pricless content i know im ready every tuesday night for some Rewind action !

[@amywarengo4748]

Congratulations KTM 450 Red Plate 250 west Red Plate 250 east Big # 1 . Thanks to the Hard Work.

[@maverick2242]

That right hander first corner off the start is gonna be carnage in the 250s, expect Haymaker to take out half the field and himself, just hope AF can stay out of the way! So many injuries already!!

[@Mezonator656]

When Eli lands rear tire first on landing, it's 🤌 usally it would be a hard landing, but when he does it, it is so fast and smooth.

[@seangavingregory4367]

This year is sooo good... the fans win!

[@ivtec4fun55]

I think Jett is kind of happy for the break, tons of pressure he put on himself, growing up in the spotlight is probably quite stressful.

[@THEPAULFOOT]

Great work team keep it going 😁

[@johnluck1923]

great show guys.

[@dhdyrjfmenrydka]

Bring bubbas world back!🙏 I wish we got that every week like we had, them using him for a betting segment is such a cash grab smh

[@RobinDavis-se6qi]

Take this with a gran of salt ie consider the source, but I heard in some of these chats that James was something like a year behind on paying his pod cast producer.. only rumor but it got to be something?

[@Frogstoney]

@@RobinDavis-se6qiooooof that’s not great if true lol. He ain’t gonna get dat neck burn acting like that

[@Tybren]

​@@RobinDavis-se6qi Man, who needs a producer for that anyway, lol.

[@MesaCalledJaJaBinks]

ET phone home!

[@jparker352]

Eli has shown everyone that he is the absolute fastest rider on the track regardless of his start or position. If. He gets a good start and goes out front.No one is going to run him down.Especially now...

[@robbattlecryawesome]

Awesome

[@alexadamson1322]

Triumph’s only setback was who they had on their roster last year. Now they have higher caliber guys who have won and will win. With Smith’s and Forkners experience those dudes would be able to tell whether or not the bike was good.

[@MesaCalledJaJaBinks]

Bubba iz da beez kneez 🐝

[@mikehatch1967]

I would think moto cross would be tough on that knee and the first time he puts the leg out we will know how it is

[@2011buddylee]

Just curious is anyone having problems with the picture freezing up during the live SX race on Peacock streaming? I have Comcast/Xfinity as my cable tv provider and last year was great no issues but this year the picture freezes up 4 to 5 times during every live race. Funny thing is I can watch a repeat of the race the following day on peacock streaming and it is fine, just royally screwing during the live race, very strange.

[@Tybren]

Mine will lag for a second or so sometimes. It's funny when it happens because then the stream will fast forward to real time, so it looks like the riders are absolutely flying.

[@vhfaanccVH]

I can't get the sound to come through with Peacock , I can watch the races but no sound.

[@2011buddylee]

The problem that I have been having is the picture completely freezes up on my tv and it completely freezes up my Comcast/Xfinity cable tv box I can't even exit out of the SX race on Peacock streaming. I then have to unplug my Comcast/Xfinity tv box then reboot it, this has happened many times this year on every single live SX race.

[@CAPS_Paranormal]

I wonder if Kawasaki is going to reveal their new 2-Stroke this weekend?? 🎉

[@EdSherry]

Austin just needs to finish

[@robertrscott]

Starting to wonder if Chase keeps getting the unwarranted criticism because he’s the Lawerence’s main competition. I’m sure they’ll make another excuse how it doesn’t count once he wins it all smh. #ready2race!

[@mitchellsmith9531]

Jt doesn't stop😅

[@EdSherry]

Juju was on the ground 5 times last race. He almost died in the rhythm section hitting a hay bale. He’s just full said that practice and hopefully he doesn’t eat shit.

[@amywarengo4748]

Honda rest Jett Ride Joe what's Joe's best finish after the pit board accident. Let Joe Heal don't disrespect Joe .

[@justinhughett9828]

Huh? Jett is hurt and joe is on a 250 so nothing you said is possible 😂

[@mitchellsmith9531]

Fast dudes

[@ahsnap9103]

Sick of the poor riders can't turn right because the brake bs.

[@gawdszn302]

Both Eli & Chase need to figure out starts ..Eli will have his paddle tire east coast so should help

[@jessewarner5137]

I know it’s probably paid ad time but can we shorten the medical minute segments?

[@Roger.T]

Not sure who will win out of Vialle & Hampshire, but one thing i will guarantee you is that a KTM will win the championship either way 👌🍊🏆💯

[@justinhughett9828]

Levi will handle vialle

[@Tybren]

Vialle ain't it.

[@Roger.T]

@ Clapped deegans cheeks last year, 2 entire seconds a lap faster at daytona and 1.7 seconds faster at birmingham 😤👌🍊🏆💯

[@Roger.T]

@@justinhughett9828 Levi couldn’t even handle the flu bro, what other jokes you got i enjoyed that one 👌😅

[@underthegun5799]

Wanna see Forkner win it.

[@gawdszn302]

LFG Levi ..LFG CS4 & LFG JuJu

[@bbqgigi5510]

lets go forkner

[@williaminsley3591]

Gas gas won their 450 opener tho

[@MesaCalledJaJaBinks]

So if RJ is leading the east coast in a east/west showdown does he get a red #1 plate? 🤯

[@underthegun5799]

Yes.

[@craaigo56]

If forkner stays healthy he wins by a mile. Nobody else in that field is on his level

[@Tybren]

I think Kitchen could be if he's comfortable on the bike.

[@danielalbright92]

It's always "the start is so important, gotta get a good start" etc. The starts seem way too complicated in this modern age of racing. Too many computers and metal on the line I say

[@OneSon744]

Opie Tucker Cross Jump Sexton.

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

Chase definitely has that extreme speed. Gonna have to disagree with him on that one.

[@Tybren]

I think he means relative to 2023. He was fastest qualifier pretty much every race that year. He's darn close to that again anyway.

[@2-Stroke-Smoke]

Sexton has NEVER been champion level. He only wins when others put themselves out. He's a sold 3-4 placer all things equal.

[@clarkgriswald1768]

Tho god no Leigh Deiffy or that other British woman. I hate having to try and make out what they are trying to talk about. 😂

[@johngoodwin2384]

Both are Aussie

[@danielpitsios683]

@@johngoodwin2384nah she’s a Pom mate.

[@johngoodwin2384]

@ okay

[@calebmccalla4715]

I think Sexton will be worse on the east coast tracks. We’ll see. I think he’s piquing to early.

[@EdSherry]

East Coast is where he lives and practices every week. He should be way better both him and Deegan are good on tacky rough tracks.

[@calebmccalla4715]

@ I know a lot about Sexton. He’s a better hard pack rider. When we get into rutty tracks I don’t think that KTM will be as good. Get ready for some front end tucks and complaints about bike setup bc he’s getting beat.

[@bradleybaling5845]

Jt needs to be sacked dude is annoying and barely knows shit 😂

[@EdSherry]

Act like Deegan has lost half his speed Did he listen to what Brian said pre- race about struggling on hard slick tracks.

[@GroundPickle]

Deegan on the east would be fighting for his life for top 7s

[@EdSherry]

The east is where he’s good at with the dirt he struggles on Slick tracks. He absolutely rips on tacky tracks. Did you watch Anaheim two by any chance they went west to get practice on that hard pack dirt before he goes 450. You think he just lost half his speed overnight? smashed everybody at Anaheim Anaheim 2 and that was tacky surface run . They just wanna act like he’s lost half his speed.

[@vhfaanccVH]

Nonsense , Deeg's is head and shoulders above every other 250 rider he just need to figure out starts .

[@billybalentine8065]

They’re not even talking about Deegan. Get off Haidens sack.

[@racecastle]

Smx not needed ... or wanted.. not a wc... it's just stupid

Okay, Boomer.
