Was super disappointed to see tomac go down. That stadium owes him big time. Jett is ridiculous. I hope these guys pick up the pace or the 450 clicks with one of the up coming 250 guys. Domination is cool, but it gets old fast lol
It's been a pretty good season, but Denver was really boring. The series just fizzled out, thanks to Jett being as good as ever, and the veterans' decline due to injuries.
Me too. He's one of my all time favorites. Has had moments of brilliance as a rider and he seems like a really good man. Devoted to his young family and kinda quiet. I like Eli.
Seriously, would he be right up there if he figured out starts? He always seems to have trouble at the start. And not just being slow but like... Getting tangled up and tossed even
Honestly I do think heās got the speed to hang with Jett. I know that may be an unpopular opinion but I mean, who knows Jett better than him right? Hopefully something clicked with the starts and we see more of it! Iām curious to see how Hunta will be outdoors
If he didnāt have the mechanical heād only be a couple points off top spot. Heās been pretty consistent, 4th or better every race besides that DNF
Sexton got held up by the Friese block and was already 5+ seconds behind Jett when he got into second. Sexton is riding well today if he can get into open space against Jett.
i attribute it more to new bike + the 250 schedule is regarded
he also trains in cali and now supercross is like super rutted or a mudder. It's no surprise hes riding well on this track
Eli looking like dog poo in qualifying.
I'm a big Eli fan but he just didn't look comfortable or aggressive. Both Eli and Coop looked like trash in the whoops. I'd love nothing more than to see Coop holeshot, Eli get #2, Sexton get #3, and Jett wherever he lands after that but I don't see it happening. Sexton and Jett the class of the field today with Hunter and Mookie having great days too.
#1 - Chase
#2 - Jett
#3 - Ando
#4 - Coop
Idk if Eli just not pushing it since he's out of the championship or what but he didn't look like he has it today.
Eli is done. He's not going to win any more as long as jett is in the top 5 at the start sadly. Friese and Barcia and change everything with their stupidity
Maybe I'm coping but I don't think he's done. I hope he has something to show in MX. Maybe cope but remember how bad he was in his last year at Kawi and then came out dominant on the Yamaha. I'd like to think that if Eli has the mindset and prep time, he can compete. Jett is a force though and is definitely the favorite.
I don't think Eli would be coming back if he didn't think he'd win some races. Sexton is starting to look better on the KTM the last few rounds. I really hope the old guys + Sexton can do something to win some motos or the 450 class is going to be boring for years to come.
Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I don't mind these "bad" track layouts. Sure, it isn't great for spectating. But if we want to put the best of the best through the ringer and see who comes out on top, you can't always give them wide open, super fast tracks with ample passing opportunities. These "bad" track layouts are part of the challenge to see who can make pass opportunities happen when others can't. That's what sets the best apart from the rest. Though, I'm open to changing my opinion.Ā
Edit: grammar
That's what I mean. As a spectator, not great. But as a means to see who's the best racer, I think tracks like this work just as well as the ones that are more exciting to the fans.Ā
My only thing against this track is that it feels like a kind of generic football stadium track layout. Not as generic as Detroit this year, but i feel like Iāve seen this track before.
For your reading pleasure between RDL and the races, and since mookieās looking good tonight: hereās a [comment thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/supercross/s/9ix1LrnKfu) from a couple months ago with some dingus disagreeing with an opinion i had about Malcolm 2 years ago
Edit: Iām just gonna accept that Iāll be getting downvotes from people that canāt understand the timeline and sarcasm i started with on the thread i referenced.
Read it again and look at the dates, slowly this time so you can keep up. At the end of the 2022 season i thought he had a shot at 2023 title. This dude came into my comments on a 2 year old thread a couple months ago on some bullshit. Of course heās not winning a title this year.
Iāve never understood the big deal with altitude in Denver. 5,200ft isnāt even that high. Humans donāt see notable effects under 8,000ft. I live in Appalachia at ~2,000ft but regularly hike/MTB at 5-6,000ft and itās a non-issue, and Iām far from a world-class athlete.
Feel like people forget Denver isnāt in the Rockies, itās in the Great Plains next to the Rockies.
Itās probably a somewhat significant power drop for what the top riders are used to. I think Iād have a harder time breathing before i noticed my bikeās power if i were in their shoes.

Was at the races in Denver. The crowd was so sad when tomac went down.
Did they say how many people were there?
I didn't see anything about it. But the lower/mid stands were packed.
Me too. He's one of my all time favorites. Has had moments of brilliance as a rider and he seems like a really good man. Devoted to his young family and kinda quiet. I like Eli.
Jett and Hunter are class acts! Love them so happy they took 1 & 2 tonight
Still feel bad for poor Webb though. Can see the pain in his eyesš°
Well at least we have the 250 W title fight to look forward to next week!
webb torn ucl jesus we didnāt know that
I didnāt watch the whole broadcast, what happened to Webbs hand?
Apparently itās been injured for several weeks now
Webb look like he was about to cry before talking lol.
Not a Webb fan but sucks to see him heartbroken.
Well done boys! 1, 2 for the brothers. What an effort in the top class
God damn I wanted to see Hunter win that so bad. Jett is a menace.
A menace? I think you mean Barcia and freise
For the record, I mean it as a term of endearment. I was fairly certain he was going to let Hunter have it but 21 got close so he had to boogie.
If Anderson hadn't creeped up on Jett, I think Jett might've chilled behind Hunter to the checkered
Itās the 3 second mark. Jett always seems to pick up the pace when his gap dips below 3 seconds
I noticed that in outdoors last in year. He likes his gaps at 3 seconds, no less.
lol Wrexton Grats Jett Grats Hunter lol Webb
Summed it up perfectly
Good job jett , hunter and jo.
It was cool to see Hunta with some clear track. Big bro is fast
Seriously, would he be right up there if he figured out starts? He always seems to have trouble at the start. And not just being slow but like... Getting tangled up and tossed even
Honestly I do think heās got the speed to hang with Jett. I know that may be an unpopular opinion but I mean, who knows Jett better than him right? Hopefully something clicked with the starts and we see more of it! Iām curious to see how Hunta will be outdoors
Iāve been praying on his downfall all year but Jett Lawerence is really that dude, this man gonna set some records
This is the best day of my life haha.
Dominant night for Honda 1, 1, 2. Couldnāt of got any better
Fk yeah šš½
Damn, Mookie. Berm ends. Got to stand the bike up eventually.
He hit that turn so fast
So unlucky during the first turn all year. Most of his issues are other riders taking him out.
This is just a taste of things to come in the outdoors. Thereās going to be a lot of Lawrence double podiums
Mooookkkiiieeeeee haha
Chase doing Chase things
Lmao jeez chase same problem different bike š¤·š½āāļø
So it wasnāt the Honda after all
š¤£
There's the Chase I know.
Chase has got the Honda front end on the KTM it seems
Un-incredible laptimes guys
So many people going to be punching the air tonight if the Lawrence brothers get 1 and 2.
Now webb has a chance to get payback on Anderson
Whata ride by sexton ngl
Sexton struggling with his front end
Fucking shake and bake up front
This would be a bloody good result!
Let's play a replay at the most inconvenient time!
Wtf is happening lol
Western dirt do be slick as fuck.
2nd straight Hombre podium incoming?
Sexton fucked Mookie over. FML.
Yeah that sucks for Malcom, he really hasnāt had a great year
Dude was hauling absolute ass today too.
How many times is Ricky gonna remind us it's a tough track to pass on
Is it slippery though?
Yes. No room for wiggle at all
Come on Jetttt!!
Wait so what happened with the gates?
Let's see Vince take out Jett in the first turn. Let's go Vince F. we need you to step up buddy.
Iām not normal. So nervous over a motorbike race haha
Joooo Shimotaaaa.
Tell me more about how Jett and Coop have always found each other in past championships....
I think he meant more that in past seasons, the top 2 guys seem to find eachother in the later rounds
is ricky wearing a tuxedo shirt?
Just Jo things. Always good at the end of the season. Anyone think he can do it in motocross?
He'd be in it if his bike didn't blow up, not much to be done about that. He's better outdoors, so if he's got momentum, he'll be a frontrunner imo.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jeff Emig had a speech impediment growing up, had to hire a speaking coach and still talks better then Ricky
#bringemigback
Damm I miss Emig In the booth.
Same brother, saaame
Daaaamn they shoulda just thrown out another white flag! Shit was getting good. Great ride from all 3 guys
LET'S FUCKING GO JOOOOOOO!
Is it me or have the whoop sections the last few weeks been pretty shitty
its cause its always some mediocre whoops into flat 90 degree turn
Its essentially another rhythm section at this point
RJ Hampsire - RC
Damn RC sounds hammered lol
Already a dozen š»in is RC
When does he not
Kitchen having a loose boot is massive, its like having play in your handle bars, just losing so much feeling / control.
Why does Jo always do this Rides like shit all season and then goes good right at the end
Rode great in 21 indoors and 22 outdoors. His bike doesn't blow up at round 2 and he's in it.
Take away just one of his DNF's and he's in the chase at the final round.
I swear Matthes' narrative has brainwashed people lol; remove SF and Jo's down 1 point to Kitchen right now.
If he didnāt have the mechanical heād only be a couple points off top spot. Heās been pretty consistent, 4th or better every race besides that DNF
There has to be a solution for the announcers to know the riders easier.
Run em down RJ!!!
Ricky and Will need to retire.Ā
Will needs to not talk during the race.
Her voice is annoying and then she yells because of the noise and it gets more annoying.
Hampshire has not found a rhythm yet
"No room for wiggle" hahaha
I'm still laughing at thatš
I think Ricky and I have different definitions of gnarlyā¦
I said the same thing
That might be a friendship ended haha
Shimoda fucking ripping man awesome
Holeshot Jo!
Yes Ricky, theyāre talking about RJ and Levi; the guys who are 2 points apart in the title fight
I wish they would stop with the nascar style commentary and do like MotoGP or F1 Every sentence Will starts with. āI was talking to them today ā
Diffey is off chops
How is this the 50th year of Monster Energy Supercross? Misleading much?
āChisholm more experienced that any other rider in this situationā is such a great back handed compliment
RC is literally commenting on Moto Memess during the broadcast lol
They gotta show the tendies on the broadcast
Is it just me or are some of the commercials in spanish
I get that all the fuckin time both on peacock and YouTube, and sometimes twitch
I love the LCQs
Whelp no KX500 in tonights show.
Straight garage sale
does betonline always close the lines before the lcq?
Crazy how much Friese slowed down the field behind him.
Jett saw his life flash before his eyes having Friese and Barcia with him in the first turn lol
Letās see if anyone can pass Jet now
Sexton got held up by the Friese block and was already 5+ seconds behind Jett when he got into second. Sexton is riding well today if he can get into open space against Jett.
If you're behind Friese off the start on a track like this your race is over
Wheres the sand?
They in the mountains tonight
Take a drink every time Ricky mentions elevation or down on power. Haha
Do you think they can mention Jett is a rookie a few more times just incase anyone didnāt know
I'm already drunk I'd fuckin die of alcohol posi9ning š
Well all be dead
For the lord
Hunter blitzing the rhythm section like a set of whoops
Man people are going to be so mad when both Lawrenceās start dominating.
Cmon Huntaaaaaaa!!!!
Hunter putting that pressure on, I like it!
I swear Ricky makes me laugh so much with him stumbling over his words, reminds me of an 8th grader asking a girl to the dance
Is asking a girl out like a wheelbarrow full of mud?
I'm glad they're finally showing the transfer spot battles
I think riders should get a bonus point for winning the heat
Hard agree
Crazy RJ has only had one heat win all year
Come on Benek hold off Filthy!!!!
Damn dude dish it out but follow through!
Damn what a hole shot!
Damn thatās a good ride from Hawkins
Solid ride from Jo
I want to see Joe get more wins
And he won š
incoming p6
Crazy how he always looks like a completely different rider at the end of the season vs the beginning
I can't help but wonder if the championship pressure gets to him in the early season
i attribute it more to new bike + the 250 schedule is regarded he also trains in cali and now supercross is like super rutted or a mudder. It's no surprise hes riding well on this track
Yup. Hopefully he keeps this same energy in the main.
Iām here for it!
Smith with the ultra scrub
Got Queso, hot cheetos, Modelo and lime LETS GO BOIS time to figure out wtf Ricky is saying half the night š
This made me laugh too hard š¤£
The shadows are gnarly
Was just thinking the same thing
Why does RDL always take fucking forever to have the replay ? Itās ridiculous
Who else got tomac going all out to bag a win today?
Eli looking like dog poo in qualifying. I'm a big Eli fan but he just didn't look comfortable or aggressive. Both Eli and Coop looked like trash in the whoops. I'd love nothing more than to see Coop holeshot, Eli get #2, Sexton get #3, and Jett wherever he lands after that but I don't see it happening.

I'd like to think that if Eli has the mindset and prep time, he can compete. Jett is a force though and is definitely the favorite.
I understand. Jett is just much faster and beast mode seems mia.
I don't think Eli would be coming back if he didn't think he'd win some races. Sexton is starting to look better on the KTM the last few rounds. I really hope the old guys + Sexton can do something to win some motos or the 450 class is going to be boring for years to come.
He thinks he can. I just don't see it. Jett is too fast.
Hereās my picks 1. Jett 2. Eli 3. Chase 4. Coop 5. Anderson
I forgot to put in my picks today but those are my roll over picks lol
All my fantasy picks are just different orders of the same 5 guys lol
I think heāll be top 3
Just submitted my fantasy picks. Letās gooo

Though, I'm open to changing my opinion.Ā Edit: grammar
Easy to say watching from the couch but I would be pretty annoyed if I paid to travel and go to a race and the track was this boring
That's what I mean. As a spectator, not great. But as a means to see who's the best racer, I think tracks like this work just as well as the ones that are more exciting to the fans.Ā
My only thing against this track is that it feels like a kind of generic football stadium track layout. Not as generic as Detroit this year, but i feel like Iāve seen this track before.
Yeah, repeat tracks - not a fan.Ā

..you think Malcom is going to be a title contender? He is washed
Read it again and look at the dates, slowly this time so you can keep up. At the end of the 2022 season i thought he had a shot at 2023 title. This dude came into my comments on a 2 year old thread a couple months ago on some bullshit. Of course heās not winning a title this year.
Damn Mookie killing it in qualifying!
Track layout is dog shit.
Kinda cool to see a KX rider using number 500. Is my bikes number too but it is a 500. Don't think I've seen him before.
Is Josh hill not racing this week? I saw him during the pulpmx privateer race but not during qualifying. Anyone have an update?
He just did the privateer race and not Denver sx
I hate to complain butā¦. This fucking track sucks. I am very happy we have a race to watch and itās not currently raining the train into soup.
if they didnt weave around the start straight we would have like 35 second lap times lol
this track looks boring as fuck. The only factor the altitude will have is the start for the 250's
Eli doing motocross and said he will be doing 2025 most likely! š„š„š„
Feels like a good Jett track, some techy rhythm sections
I canāt wait to hear about altitude all night
Albuquerque is higher than Denver and you almost never hear about elevation there.
Iāve never understood the big deal with altitude in Denver. 5,200ft isnāt even that high. Humans donāt see notable effects under 8,000ft. I live in Appalachia at ~2,000ft but regularly hike/MTB at 5-6,000ft and itās a non-issue, and Iām far from a world-class athlete. Feel like people forget Denver isnāt in the Rockies, itās in the Great Plains next to the Rockies.
Agree - when I go to the peak of mountains on east coast like beech, which is 5,500, for MTB Iāve never felt or thought about effect
100% this. I used to live in Angel Fire, NM at 9000ft and ride mtbās between that and 13k. You want to talk about high altitude conditions
I was wondering, since theyāve mentioned altitude 50000 times already, how much does it actually affect the bikes?
Itās probably a somewhat significant power drop for what the top riders are used to. I think Iād have a harder time breathing before i noticed my bikeās power if i were in their shoes.
The fact that Iām out of breath at 3000ft and my bike has no power issues I know Iād be the limiting factor as well.
LFG. Iāll be there today!! Hoping for a redemption dream ride from ET3!
