Outstanding racing. These racers are warriors.

[@barrywatson6292]

Great job Weege. Love your work

[@beagon6420]

Weege, thank you. SPOT ON with how amazing it is to have RC, Stewart, Brayton and Cianciarulo. We are so stoked for their analysis and just having them around, and how good the racing still is. Maybe we just need to keep the debate about the format a topic. These racers obviously love the SMX paycheck and deserve it, but they're obviously not stoked about the race schedule being so much. I hope they're heard and keep this sport so awesome like it has been forever.

[@BenDover-jm7eo]

Chase deserved that win. He got the holeshot and checked tf outttt! Props by him

[@kevo6767]

I would love to see Dean Wilson join the crew.

[@BenDover-jm7eo]

It was a very hot weekend but very fun! Thanks Supercross and AMA for putting on such a great series

[@undefinedromance89]

Tomac could still win this whole thing. He'd need a little help, but it's not impossible, or that far of a reach. And even if he doesn't, he's certainly not going to make it easy for the other three. I love it.

[@FrankBUILTperformance]

I love my man ET3, but I think the other 3 guys would have to finish off the podium next week from that. But even 2nd in the series is $500k not bad

[@Kawiboy]

Kudos to Hunter 👏 and Sexton 👏.. Can't wait till next week 🔥💪✌️😉

[@guywhitecotton1376]

Eli baby!

[@Toniitony]

AC is already the best to ever do it. His interview with Trey canard was great. Adam is a total natural.

[@johnnixon3802]

[@fordtrucking4718]

Don’t forget Steve Mathis man. He really made the show great with Ricky and James Stewart all the old racing stories was very comical

[@chrisbonamici3861]

Sexton did not start with Jett and beat him, like Eli did this week and last. That's what everyone is waiting for....he rode great, but those other guys were buried.

[@2216sammy]

Correct .

[@evans4119]

Nice shipping container Jet

[@bcm658]

What a great format with the best riders battling. This is real racing. Weege Show!!

[@Toniitony]

GOOD JOB WEEGE! Beaumer was pronounced perfectly! Glad you finally got it🥳😬

[@kurtheidelbach]

Looked liked the worst spectator turn out of any SMX event. Whoever planned a day race in Texas sure didn’t think things through too well.

[@seanhaberman4619]

We saw a different side of Jett today. We saw how much he hates losing. Loving winning is important, but hating to lose it what makes all time greats. He will hang it all out to win it all next weekend.

[@Skyway5]

Kinda selfish when you consider his bro is up there.

[@aus-rider]

Post presser he said he had hinted at getting needled up to numb what’s hurting, namely the hand, he will come out firing next week, I’m picking a angry Jett to win.

[@marmaleg5309]

​@@aus-riderI got the feeling from him that the rough track hurt his thumb. He's still recovering.

[@BenDover-jm7eo]

@@Skyway5 bro we need to forget they are related for a moment. Hunter would be getting more hype for his win if he wasn't related to Jett

[@brettcameron5911]

Goatee jett needs to be a villain for a yr or 2. Then after he gets hurt again shave it off & turn baby face again & ppl will love him again 😂

[@keithtarrier4558]

Yeah Weege! Always on point. JB and AC are doing very well in the pre/post shows. If you see AC, tell him his suit looked much better this week.

[@doglover136_]

On his podcast, he said he dropped some money on tailored suits and raided his agents closet, so he has lots of suits now

[@Robdbz]

Hunter might be the next tv presenter he talks really well for tv today 🤔

[@alondite215]

Yeah AC has been great on RDL so far. Dude might end up being a bigger deal in broadcasting than he was in moto.

[@keithtarrier4558]

[@keithtarrier4558]

Aussi aussi aussi 🎉🎉🎉🎉 hunter beat all the best guys good job Deegan 1-1 again 🎉🎉 🇦🇺

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

I’m not surprised that Hunter won but I am surprised he hasn’t won a lot. He’s so damn good

[@smittysmith9509]

MXGP had 21 guys on the gate this weekend. SMX is dominating the world!

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

That's nothing new for MXGP.

[@mikebird19]

Certain rounds are always like that though..especially China..been happening forever. GP guys still shred as we see at MXON every year..

[@brianphilippsen]

This was the first 450 overall that Jett didn't win. He was pissed after the first moto finishing 3rd because he stalled the bike in rhythm section. He's smart enough to know a second in the first moto is as good as a win. But a 3rd, hard to win. Sexton showed his speed, too bad he has a slow jump off the gate. Next weekend will be hot and the track will be very similar to this one, so it should be fun.

[@2216sammy]

Jett stalling the bike had nothing to do with him not winning . He was still neck and neck battling with Eli until the end but Eli was just too good .

[@donreed1133]

Do you think the scheduled time for round 3 will hurt the TV ratings in most parts of the country? I’ll be watching the replay the next day. Thanks

[@scottproquad]

I love this sport!

[@brianphilippsen]

Weege regarding comments? The Weege/GL team is truly missed. Sorry. But, you should be worried because JB and AC are crushing it, and should be in the booth together, with you of course!

[@nicksapp6543]

Blood in the water. Jett is vulnerable

[@kelgusthart1789]

Could also go the other way and Jett comes out and just smokes the lot of them. Be an interesting weekend of racing

[@LetBrockBye]

LOL

[@jpesicka492]

Jett, Chase and Hunter are going to get toe smacked by Tomac. Tomac is going to go beast mode for the win and claim the SMX title to make up for the robbery of the 2023 SX title by Sexton when Eli tore his achilles. Deegan dominates, business as usual. Yamaha wins both SMX titles for 2024.

[@Matt18880]

Eli probably won't win he's 21 points behind. It will be Jett, Hunter or Chase

[@SB-wu9mk]

I haven’t done the math properly, but it seems like Chase, Jett and Hunter would have to finish 5th and below for Tomac to have a chance

[@FrankBUILTperformance]

@@SB-wu9mkbingo.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

Chase should only practice starts all week

[@robertjolliffe4164]

Yep ur right weedge take the positives out of it. The Texas round is run and done and hopefully we will never have such a round again

[@user-tv1le7sw2l]

JT is the best track analyst in the history of the sport IMO. Jim Holley is a close second. Katie Osborne is a star and is as good as anyone male or female. RC and JS are in the zone. Will is rock solid never too high or to low. I thought Jimmy Albertson and his wife were really good as well. JB relax your jazz hands it makes me dizzy. Vegas you better show up and fill the stands.

[@RobertMentzer-m9t]

Jett’s good but let’s pump the brakes 😂😂

[@BRudy19r]

I notice you left out Shrill Will. Can your producer let her know that less is more!

[@brettcameron5911]

Nobody wants RC4 in the booth... he can ride the shit out of a dirt bike but he sucks at talking. His analogies make feel dumb for trying to understand them

[@EdSherry]

I just feel like Jett is riding 70% and he woke up today. There will be an a$& kicking next weekend. I think he is done with giving chase confidence and he will be a different rider

[@jpesicka492]

[@doglover136_]

@@jpesicka492Unfortunatly, eli has to go 1-1, and everyone else has to be off the podium for him to win the title, but I think he wins a moto and podiums the next moto if he makes the right tire choice unlike today

[@doglover136_]

And I hope that happens, 2023 sx title was pure robbery, I will be praying that everything aligns for him to win the title even though he's a few points down

[@maddog1818]

Man as much as I would love to see that happen somehow I think jettson is about to take it to the moon and back 🏆🍻🔥

[@ryanlorance6168]

70% lmfaoo 😂

[@fleece192]

Go Chase. Win next week and win mxon

[@Kyle-k4w]

Top 3 can win by getting 1st but Tomac needs some luck if he wins this last one

[@pattysmith536]

Common Weege, I think that shoey 👟🍺, went straight to your head 🤯mate… You said that Sextons second moto, was the MOST DOMINANT…performance so far in the 450 SMX..!!? Well what about Tomac’s first moto last week…!!?? Aussie Aussie Aussie. Oi Oi Oi… 🇦🇺 love ya show mate. 👍

[@seanhaberman4619]

You mean the moto he came in second and would have been third if Jett didn't stall his bike? Yeah that wasn't very dominant.

[@doglover136_]

I think he is talking a 15 second lead. Whereas tomacs last weekend was only 5-6?

[@mustdodiving5263]

Why do they give riders points going into the playoffs? Aren’t playoffs supposed to give each team / rider an equal shot… it’s not like in football the number 1 seed gets a 1 touchdown head start at kick off… if it was not for the those points… Tomac would be right in the middle of it…

[@LetBrockBye]

Exactly

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

When your hands aren't up to full strength ya don't clutch as much.. Jet will get his strength back and be ready for A1. 😅 I think Chase or his brother will win it all. Chase most likely. Could be all wrong but don't think it's worth it if Jetts hand is hurting.

[@FrankShumski]

Don’t read comments unless your name is Haiden Deegan

[@somethingelse4846]

Eli tomac beat jett lawrence straight up in moto 1, again

[@2216sammy]

Yup , second week in a row Tomac whipped Jett straight up in moto 1 .

[@Matt18880]

Who do the Lawrence brothers train with? Any other riders?

[@Peelout69]

Johnny O

[@alondite215]

Hymas trains with them, I think. Or at least he has in the past. Not sure if Shimoda does or if he has his own program.

[@LetBrockBye]

Drew, Dillon

[@StandlyRichards25]

Why do you interrupt ricky and James while they talk about racing? You do it a lot.

[@craaigo56]

why was he mad at the first one though? not sure what he could mean

[@jetskiordie7976]

RC and Stew bring absolutely nothing of any value to each and every show. When they do, let us know.

[@ryanlorance6168]

Deegan38 boi! Where dem haters at?

[@barneyba]

Nobody cares enough to actually hate. 😉

[@bknoxx]

chase wasnt straight up though.. he got the start and the rest didn't .. he's already mentally beat if he doesn't get a start he cant win that's unfortunate

[@slayer6936]

Eli is his own worst enemy. He's lost both second motos because of the scoop tire!! Deegs was smart enough to switch tires. Eli wasn't he was afraid to step out of his comfort zone again. He will not win again. Deegs this year has 10 overall wins, 14 moto wins, and 14 podiums. And that's not including last year. No one in the 250 class has those stats.

[@alondite215]

He definitely benefits from the scoop given how he rides, but year Moto 2 the tracked looked too slick to really get much benefit out of it. Shame, too, because he was probably the fastest guy out there Moto 1.

[@slayer6936]

@alondite215 In the first motos, yes, because the track still has traction. But when the track breaks down and that traction is gone, the scoop tire is useless. You can't lean your bike at all. Why do you think Deegs changed his tire. It's easy to compare. Just look at his results. Hell, he couldn't even get past Webb he couldn't excelarate he would just lose traction.

[@aaronb4936]

I think in his mind he’s accepting a trade off in performance for what will benefit his start position. If you look at his actual launch out of the gate in both motos were great. He overshot the first one and lost position.

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

Lmao. That scoop didn't cost Eli the win. Eli bad start cost him a shot at winning. I'll never understand you people who make excuses for someone not winning. He got a bad start, and wasn't good enough to pass all the people he needed to pass. That's all there is to it

[@LetBrockBye]

Seriously, Why do you feel the need to tell us about HDs Stats?

[@jesochoa]

JB yes AC nah too much AC and he is goofy

[@alondite215]

AC is the smartest, most articulate and well-spoken person that the entire sport of MX has ever had on a mic.

[@nicksapp6543]

AC is just green in the booth. He is doing good but seems to try too hard sometimes.

[@frankhart3003]

Weege!! or someone close to Weege,, please tell him he needs to stop carrying the 3rd grade drop-outs and get into a much bigger house. We've got a chance to grow motocross in the states, and youre blowing it with horribel blabbing during the best part of the races. its really hard to me to watch the replays now. Scrreew those titles, nobody has come close to MC until Jett, wait til Hunta finds out Jett controlled that whole race.

[@RichD-f7k]

I wish they would just add 3 outdoor races. These SMX tracks blow in my opinion

[@2216sammy]

These smx tracks are awesome . Regular season SX tracks suck .
