So happy to see Roczen do well. Crappy starts but hes so efficient and experienced he rises to the top
awe yea
Love the track layout. Great to see ROCZEN on the podium again.
agree on both
Que maneiro, esse muleque é massa d+, parabéns papai Roczen 🎉
Barcia is just an obstacle with a bully mentality and a fading set of skills at this point...the way he handled that crash with zero regard for the other competitors whom haven't wrecked is ridiculous.
Also, Jett throwing the race like that was ludicrous too!
Happy for Hunter sweeping it all.
Kenny was riding really fast and Jett probably could of held him back, but didn't want to unnecessarily push to that limit and maybe crash. So he let kenny by cause he knew he was still gonna win the overall anyways, but jett supposedly claimed it was a baby gift because roczen just had a baby and they did used to be teammates and all. I also think he was trying to bump Sexton to 3rd overall
We pay to watch them race not let them past
Tbh Jett didn’t even make the “cautious riding” argument at all .. the excuses he used were rather lame
Jett had the overall and was just thinking about creating more space between him and his main competition - Sexton
Precisely.

Sexton would have went 2-3 to KR 3-2, it changed nothing with the overall or points.
@blubug768 yeah he probably didn't realise that mid moto. But he still had it in the bag and it was a cool gesture. Jetts got many more years and wins to come and probably just made a friend for life with roczen. Bit of a win win
@PatrickJett and Kenny have been friends for quite a few years. I remember Kenny doing a Lawrence brother impersonation back in either '18 or '19
Jett is such a madman. Pulling over to let Ken by just because he didn’t want to push it when he already had the overall locked up, and because he wanted Roczen to gain more points on Sexton. What a calculation, it’s crazy to think all that up mid-race like that
You don't think that up mid race. You make a game plan before the race and just execute it after. But honestly waving someone by feels like f1 shenanigans and I really don't want to see that here...
@Jannik Sims would you rather:
Push the limits and risk a crash, injury or mechanical failure when not necessary
OR
Win the overall without having to do any of that
I understand that it can be a bad look but like Jett said that was a huge brain move. There’s a reason why he’s the only guy who’s done stuff like that in recent memory and it’s because he’s just so smart on the track
@GoldToadGaming you can let of the pressure without straight up waiving someone past. And I would want that 1-1 if I think it's possible and if not I still wouldn't waive the second guy past.
he was wrong and you're all wrong for believing him. He now knows he was wrong and lost a win for no reason. He says he wanted to be nice to Kenny but really it's cause he fucked up the math in his head. lol He fucked up the math because letting Kenny by did nothing to benefit Jet and y'all need to get with the program yo
@GoldToadGamingyou don’t have to theatrically wave someone by and make lame excuses like “it was a baby gift” in order to ride cautious lol… dude was gonna get beat
god when people realized roczen passed the crowd went wild
Jett could have been saving his energy for next week, because its WINNER TAKES ALL !
Yeah because his EGO is so
BIG he has a hard time carrying it.
Again, Jett is just too fantastic.
Lol he got scared of his ego. He is a B
Jett just too good again.
without dropping the overall. playoffs. Moreover, Roczen was improving and ultimately finished faster. He won't risk losing the night or the playoffs for his pride if he simply lets him pass. He
0:38 Jetts bike throwin sparks.
Yeah the guy with the fastest lap times definitely was “let” by lol. This sport and it’s Lawrence d riding
Bro he waved Kenny by. Kenny may have been running faster but Jett can defend his lines quite easily on most tracks
Top 10 ranking for Nichols on a beta
Everyone hating on Jett, but he's thinking big picture for the playoffs. He lets Roczen by and it has a better chance of bumping Sexton to third overall, thus gaining on him in the playoffs without losing the overall. Also Roczen was gaining and was faster in the end. If he just lets him by he doesn't risk throwing away the night or playoffs over his pride. He still won the overall. Makes sense to me.
Edit 9/20: racer x has posted that Lawrence broke a rule by doing this and has been served a warning. I admit that I did not know this was a rule. I still think Jett was thinking points but a rule is a rule. He probably regrets his actions now.
Nobody hates Jett
@Wtf Ftw bunch of people were commenting on here they thought it was stupid. Idk, just thought I'd share my thoughts.
Does everyone hate Jett? Speak only for yourself. You must be a Yamaha fan boy.
Makes sense to you. But it’s not racing at all. That’s what we pay for
Nichols with a top 10 on a beta 💯
Wasn’t he still on a kawi?
No
Nice job KR you made Jett crap his paints because he couldn’t shake you and he new you had him beat on a Suzuki 👍
Jett has a big brain. The goat is that child.
Too bad roczen didn’t get 2nd in moto 1 and then we’d see a race
Go Roczen‼️
I don't dig Jett waving Ken by. It is like Ken was earning it, (nice to see), and Jett took the win away from Ken, and a battle from the sport. That should have been a battle for the win that people can admire and remember. This is not racing. I doubt he can say anything in the post race press conference to change my mind.
While I agree completly with your train of thought, I must also point out why I disagree. A win is a win. Sure some ways of winning are more prideful than others, but at the end of the day, if the opposing army waves a white flag instead of fighting to death, you won fair and square.... Jett felt Kenny gain ground, weighed out the pros and cons, and simply forfeited the race to him. Kenny won that and if I were him, i'd be just as proud that I made jett resign his position.
With that said, I agree that a real race would have been epic to watch and that is also what I would have favored seeing.
Give him a break man this is playoffs. In normal seasons he’s charging through the checkered flag every time. This makes perfect sense given the point situation throughout playoffs. Put yourself in his shoes for a minute this championship means the world to this kid and he’s just ensuring his opportunity to take the whole thing. These guys have trained their whole lives in hopes of winning a title and you’re PO’d because he didn’t risk throwing it all away to entertain you for a few more minutes? 🤷🏽♂️
You know why everything you said was BS? Because he was riding at an even faster Pace early on in the race and had to ride that pace to stay out front the whole time. you’re telling me the last two laps he couldn’t handle that pace anymore and was to risky? Lol what Jett did was pathetic and he new he couldn’t shake KR so he did that lame as crap.
Very salty😢😢
Come on man, letting someone by is just being arrogant , who in moto
Cross wants a free one,
Now that jets ego is big
As a house , we'll just have to
See how this goes over, it
Was "nice " but come on what
If he would have really beaten
Jett that would have a real win and better deal.
Big brain riding by Jett. That kid is the goat
Big brain math?? LMFAO
Chase should buy Jett a calculator.
Jett couldn’t handle the fact roczen on a suzuki was going to pass him so he slowed down and acted like he gave him a gift waving him by. Roczen was going to pass you anyway. Just like Eli tomac was going to stop you outdoors this year if he wasnt hurt
Seriously???
@Anthony Ensorya Jett acting like a B
Down to the concrete in the ruts.
Nice respect shown there for Kenny on the track well done young man.
It was insulting.
@craig4fsu nah it wasn't, could tell by the hug Kenny gave him at the end mad respect between them boys.
Jett lived at Kenny Dads House in Germany
Typical barcia tried cleaning Anderson out smh
Was "nice," but what the heck If he had actually defeated Jett, it would have been a legitimate victory and a better outcome.
Jett Lawrence did not give a good impression of himself in the second moto, childish gesture of letting Roczen pass just because Ken was faster
Heard the same comment for almost the whole outdoor series with Chase apparently being faster than Jett. How did that turn out? Surely you’ve learnt by now.
Barcia riding over his head
Jett explaining his math of the 2nd moto wave by. School is important. Motocross is importanter.....lol.
God help Jett if Hunter's smart enough to figure it out. Hunter would never let him live that one down.
School today is not the school of yesterday. The wrong people are teaching.
Importanter.......lol
@EarthSurferUSA That's a whole other conversation. And, giving Jett and his family their due, turning Jett into a fourier transform expert wasn't their priority. They've obviously done extremely well with the priority for their children, so I gotta give them that.
That said, the "strategy", points math aside, with the idea of dropping back to remove your cushion to your main competition wasn't smart, either. If Jett thought Roczen wouldn't hold back Sexton, that'd mean Sexton was coming. And Jett putting himself in harm's way of getting his front end swept by the guy who's coming isn't smart. I wonder if his pit board was telling him to do that? If so, I'd have a long talk with his trackside team and that decision.
@Duck Mafia I stole that from a t-shirt I bought off Amazon. I'm contemplating digging into whether I can send one to Jett, purely as a joke.
Yea that was about as embarrassing for the sport as you can get after what Jett did. Say something was wrong with the bike if anything. That’s going to come back to get him. AMA you shouldn’t be happy with that BS
. Jett is a bad mate for doing that to Kenny, no man wants to win like that. Also what’s the deal with the pearl necklace jettison?!! Roczen was gonna pass Jett and Jett couldn’t handle it! CS23 for the win!!!
Lol that's funny. Americans are so salty😂
Jett didnt want to look like he was trying to get passed so he made it seem like a gift typical loser mentality lawrence bros
Jett is such a classy dude. What was that win worth ? Just tossed KR a 100k + win bonus. Legend.
Sounds like B A opps.
Its funny how both leaders in the 250 and 450 had bike issues. The LEDS I believe are fing with the system!
Lol
Forgive me what’s leds
The LED’s are one wire connection and couldn’t affect the engine or mechanics since they’re not electric. LED’s barely draw any current anyways.
Must have ya tinfoil hat on there ol mate
Jett Lawrence gets major respect for giving Ken the win! That was so cool.
красавэла
Jett lost ALL respect from me as a rider. You don’t wave someone by like that. Pathetic. Just let him pass you, you don’t stop and wave him by, I would be pissed if I was ken
No matter what Roxanne was right there on a Suzuki no electric start g we😝😝😝😝
Jett is so smart.
I still don’t get this garbage championship.
They should be battling for the win no matter what.
Jett lived at Kenny Dads House in Germany
Why do you put the winner the thumbnail?please explain.
poor sexton just can't keep the up with Jett sexton got lucky last race good sexton going to other team maybe he can do better or the same just follow Jett
Jett disrespected the sport😮
jett😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💎
that is given. the gayness of jet if someone pressure him could make him cry or face on the ground.. he has brain now to let the pressure pass by
Whay did he let roczen by, did he or was it a missatcke did he not catch him back?
It was a gift
He cracked. Roczen did it.
He let Kenny by because he is a great young man and has respect for others. Kenny just had a BABY born a few days ago. And JETT WAS HAPPY TO LET HIM WIN THE RACE AND CLAIM MORE MONEY. JETT WOULD HAVE LET HIM BY EVEN FOR THE BIG PURSE TONIGHT. I THINK IT'S GREAT WHAT HE DID TONIGHT. AND ROCZEN IS RIDING SO MUCH BETTER THAN EVERY OTHER FACTORY RIDER OUT THERE, MINUS JETT AND SEXTON. OUTDOORS AND SUPERCROSS. A RIDER THAT HAS BEEN DOING MOTOCROSS PROFESSIONAL FOR MANY,MANY YEARS NOW. AND HE IS BETTER STILL THAN EVERYONE OUT THERE MINUS THE 2 I ALREADY MENTIONED. COOPER WEBB SUX AND DOESN'T DESERVE A FACTORY RIDE anymore. ALREADY SAID IT BEFORE. PHIL NICOLETTE, TY MASTER POOL AND SETH SHOULD BE GETTING THE FACTORY RIDES IN FRONT OF WEBB CIANCIRILO AND ANDERSON
@EarthSurferUSA that's a cool story hater
@Clayton Andrews they don’t hand out purse money per moto. It’s for the overall which would’ve been the same if Jett doesn’t let Roczen by. Jett’s just an idiot that can’t do math and doesn’t respect Roczen and showed that tonight.
what is that light on the fork? why?
Shows who’s leading the race new thing ama is trying out
I don't get this soft generation who will gladly take a 2nd when they are the fastest on the track. That's not what this sport is about, taking layups
Sexton...chump again. Jett probably felt sorry for him last week so gave him the win. Not this week...
Its over Jett won give him the cash and the trophy already. Hunter might have a tough time with shimoda but Deegan is done.
Those green lights are horrible
whats up with all the americans hating jett? even though ken roczen is german ffs
Ken is basically an American. Lives here, trains here, raising a family here and sounds like he's from here.
People also don't like who's winning a lot.
Americans love Jett! That was kinda a weird thing to do to wave Kenny by . Americans love Kenny too .
gayness of jett
These reports are weak
Get off Jetts back ,obviously he the rozen win get over it. This is what Aussies do ok!!
Why he make it obvious just let him by then and eat it like a man, jett was gonna get passed anyways and his ego couldn't handle it, oh but he gifted the position, lol ok. Thanks mate.
pathetic from jett
