@@doglover136_ya Webb or AP need to get between them. Webb would be the best bet since he’s Eli’s teammate. I feel like AP would fall back if he knew Chase would lose if he didn’t and he is still banged up.
Yeah i was thinking that yesterday. It's like it was designed for him. Personally want one of the Lawrence boys to win. But you can just see it. Edit: Re-thinking my statement, I wouldn't mind Eli winning over the Lawrence bros. I'm Aussie. But I've been cheering on Eli for so long. I'd be happy for him to take the win. I mean patriot, but Eli will always be a beast in my mind. Dude's up there with Bubba and Reed and Ricky all day long. Fuckin awesome to see this playing out
Yeah I feel like today will be a Yamaha day lol, Tomac and Deegan will both flourish on this track. My favorite things about this SMX championship have been one, watching the creativity from Haiden, just mixing it up on these hybrid tracks and being the first to "unlock" new lines even before the 450 guys see or try to attempt them. Also, seeing Tomac back in beast mode and bringing the fight to Jett. People were so quick to write him off this SX season, saying that he was just past his prime or that Jett was just too much better. 😂 To me, I saw what was really going on, and it wasn't even anything physical as far as Tomac just lacking due to so much time off the bike and not racing. Nah, I believe even at A1 this year he was just as capable as he was during the 2022 MX championship against Sexton. I think the only reason Tomac wasn't up there battling Jett straight up for wins every weekend was strictly mental. Think about how big of an injury he had, but more importantly the way it happened. He didn't crash, didn't even do anything wrong, he was just going through a rhythm section the same way he has a million times and his body failed him. So, I feel like when he came back, it took a long time for him to regain trust in his body in order to have the confidence to ride like himself without constantly worrying about something like that happening again. It would've been different if he crashed and hurt himself, but it was literally a freak thing out of his control. Something like that is hard to understand, much less to just forget about. Then when he hurt his thumb, for one it was due to an incident and not just something that happened while riding normally, but also it gave him something else to focus on and recover from which probably helped get his mind away from thinking about the possibility of something happening for no reason like with his Achilles. I don't think that now it's like "oh Tomac is back!! He finally found his speed again", I think the speed was there all along but he just didn't have the confidence, not in his ability but in his body, to ride the way he knows he is capable of. I think now we're just seeing a Tomac that has finally pushed that out of his head, and now he is focused on competing instead of just trying to do everything possible to minimize all risks. Unfortunately it's kind of a long shot for him to win SMX. I definitely believe he can win today, but I don't see any possible way that at least one of them (Jett, Hunter, Chase) doesn't finish on the podium. Honestly I just hope that we get to see some amazing racing today, and I hope that Tomac performs well like he has the previous 2 rounds and gets through clean, that way he can go into Supercross next year knowing that he is on the same level as the rest of the top competition. More importantly, so he can go into it with the same mindset he has right now, where he is not concerned about the things outside of his control and is not riding timid, where he is going to the gate with his focus solely on winning
The latest MXdN choice is a slap in the face of all the 250 riders, THEY think none of you are very good, not even an option so THEY inserted an old 450 guy.
Who should they have taken? Looking at the top 10, Deegan said no, Vialle is French, Levi is on Kawi and they don’t go to MXDN, Chance is injured, Ty is also on Kawi, Shimoda is Japanese, Swoll is injured..which takes us to 8th place Pierce Brown? 9th place Jordan Smith? The only possible answer is RJ but I’d take Webb’s experience, racecraft, and Star Yamaha over RJ.
Man I think Tomac could actually take it tomorrow 🤞
the overall, yes, title well not quite, chase, hunter, jett would need 4th or worse for eli to win

This track has ET3 written all over it, also like what I’m seeing from CW2. This is gonna be a knock down drag out fight to the finish. Can’t wait

@@loneventhorizonI’m Canadian and I love the Aussie boys, Reed and both Lawrence bros, I do prefer hunter over Jett mind you.
Perfect city for a final, can spend some prize money at the casinos 🤣👍
Great shots! Love the vibe. This feels like moto!
Custom Vegas graphics are back!!!
Jetttson ftw
Another one liner track with no whoops and bad dirt. Texas 2.0..
smx never has whoops, only sx does
I'm tired of hearing the same critiques every single week.
Track looks narrow
Sick track
Thank you!
Get some water on it!
Naa they want a one line track. Get your holeshot and everyone spread out. No passing allowed 😂
Tomaaaaacccccccc
Wow they will need to keep watering the track or it will be silt.
Track looks great, they better soak the shtt out of it immediately after press 😂
My thoughts exactly
At lease its a night race
They probably will but that vegas dirt is still gonna dry out as the day goes on
Looks pretty super to me
Duper
Leave the woke colors for Jett and Skippy.
Is anyone else jumping over the whole tabletop other than Haiden?

They really have produced some shit tracks for the smx series haven't they
looks like a normal super cross track to me so its now a super super cross championship
Looks very supercrossy , that a word?
It is now.
Et3 or JL1
Deegs had to go take a fat crap so he will be even faster next round lol
Tomac 2-1 deegan 1-1 hopefully sexton gets 450s not honda
Please stop calling it a world championship
This track is a Deegan track all the way. 💯✊💪👍🇺🇸✌️🤙🫡
