    Thoughts post-race watch last night.

    Lawrence still hasn’t shown any specific vulnerability, but Sexton looked pissed moto 2. Obviously this year is going to be different than last, but last year started out as a bummer because so many guys were out. It’s sorta the same story this year, with Tomac and Webb, but still. Good to see Anderson looking stronger at times too. J. Cooper also looks real solid, and it’s hard to not mention Hunter as well. I always wondered if he would ever be able to “match” Jett and it looks like he is probably 95% there. Honda has two solid AF riders, just wonder if they’ll take pay cuts to stay on the same team.

    Deegan is like the Gen Z Plessinger, but I can’t help but think every action is a clout chasing thing and not a genuine action like with Pless. I don’t like the Deegan family brand, so by extension I don’t like Haiden much, but he looks a league above the others. Vialle real disappointing this round too, which is wild to say with a moto win, but 4th shouldn’t be where he is. Savatgy with bike issues likely ruined another good weekend for Triumph with Swoll 8-8 and him 35-7. Also, 13 (!) 250 riders did not start moto 2, which is wild.
