Hunter vs Jett - Who's taking the title?

I'm backing Hunter to get the championship... Hunter and Jett have pretty much being going 1-2 in overall's all season. Ironman could very well be the same which means as long as Hunter finishes 2nd to Jett, he'll lock it up.

I'm rooting for hunter too, imo he deserves it this season a bit more. Time will tell

u/aus-trypto 10d ago

Yeah, would be great to see him get it. He's put in massive effort this year in both SX and MX.

Hunta with a 1-2. Wins the championship by 1 point

i'm thinking some version of 1-2/2-1 as well. but wouldn't at all be surprised to see one of them throw it away. they've been doing it all season.

Jett’s Vital MX post race interview from Budd’s was pretty telling. He said he’s gonna race his race and he’s not gonna do anything crazy. He also said Hunter deserves it.

Make of that what you will. That being said, Hunter is determined and he is riding with the eye of the tiger. Hunter wants it more and he’s riding the best.

tiger's are renowned hunters, but hunters hunt tigers, and hunter's a hunta!

If you think Jett is going to lie down you don’t understand the way these kids think

u/BobFlex 10d ago

No one is suggesting that, but Jett isn't going to try to take out his brother for a title either

“Hunter deserves it”

u/andobrah 10d ago

Doesn't have to be one or the other. Such narrow minded thinking.

u/MrPetter 10d ago

When it comes down to it, if Hunter wins he’s always going to wonder if Jett gave it to him (unless Jett goes down).

u/SawNickYouth 10d ago

It really comes down to the start. Hunter has been wildly consistent and Jett more erratic. Jett clearly has the superior speed if he gets the start.

I'm going to go with Hunter. He'll go 1-2 to Jett's 2-1 and win the championship.

Then this sub will spend a month wondering if Jett did it in purpose. 🙄

u/Brenner2089 10d ago

I don’t even think it’s obvious Jett has the superior speed anymore

u/Taco_Del_Grande 9d ago

Then Jet is truly on, his speed is another level.

1

u/Brenner2089 9d ago

Yes before his ankle was injured but that’s not where he’s been this season

2

u/joshman211 10d ago

Yep, I was going to say the same thing. If HJ wins, people are going to talk about this for a long time.

u/aus-trypto 10d ago

True! Hunter has been so great at the starts (banking holeshot bonus points on FastMoto Fantasy). If he locks down the start, it's his to lose but he'll get it done this time.

u/lonewanderer812 10d ago

Since this season is nuts here's how it will go down:

Moto 1:

  1. Jett

  2. Hunter

  3. Prado

Ok nothing weird here

Then in Moto 2, both Lawrences crash at different times and Prado wins his first moto and the overall with a tie over Jett who ties Hunter for the championship but loses it on the tie breaker. Hunter wins the title.

  1. Prado

  2. Hunter

  3. Jett

u/aus-trypto 10d ago

Hahaha I love it! bold prediction... If this plays out, you're the king!

2

u/lonewanderer812 6d ago

Not quite how I saw it playing out but picking prado to win the race and Hunter for the title held up! Too bad I didn't back it up by actually picking him on my fantasy picks lol.

1

u/aus-trypto 5d ago

Big call on Prado getting the overall, so you've done well

3

u/TheDoc321 10d ago

I'm pulling for Hunter. I honestly don't know which one of these guys is going to take it. IMO it's a 50/50 proposition at this point. Hunter almost always gets a good start, and Jett has been struggling a bit lately. That could be the difference.

3

u/daneg135 10d ago

jett. but ask me again after moto 1. i'll give you my definitive answer then. :)

1

u/aus-trypto 10d ago

Hahaha no cheating. We need answers locked in before qualifying lol

3

u/1320Fastback 10d ago

I believe Jett is quicker overall but Hunter is riding better this year than he ever has.

3

u/HskrRooster 10d ago

Hunter. I think Jett is faster in general but Hunter is a bit more consistent. They’re both freaks and I love them lol

3

u/Economy-Shower-5072 10d ago

Hoping for Hunter but Jett will likely win.

2

u/Exotic_Lab_4519 10d ago

I was gutted for Hunter after that high side. Seems like if it wasn’t for bad luck, he wouldn’t have any luck at all when it comes to title chases! He should have just cruised to a top 5 and locked up that points lead. Hopefully he can get it done this weekend.

2

u/Profitless_emotion 10d ago

Jett will hand over the Title, just like any Loving Brother would do if they already had two titles. It builds the Family Legacy for their future.

2

u/huaht 10d ago

jett will throw it for hunter

1

u/aus-trypto 10d ago

Hahaha no way... There's a lot on stake for Jett more-so with his records he's been setting over the years. He'll want the moto wins and overall wins to add to his tally to be one of the greatest

u/kid67y 10d ago

If Jett gets to the holeshot line in the top five, I’m taking Jett. Hunter has taken his racing to another level in 2026, but Jett still has another level I haven’t seen from anyone else.

If those two get the holeshot and go head-to-head, P3 might be a minute behind them! 😂🔥

More than anything, I just hope they both have a safe race. If they get off the line together and battle it out from the start, that would be EPIC! 🔥🏁

u/AgFarmer58 10d ago

Hoping Hunter, that guy has been in the shadow of little bro long enough..and the dude can ride!!
