"I've never been so dumbfounded."
Not only has Chase Sexton returned to 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, but he has returned to the 450SX podium for the first time since his Anaheim 2 triumph. Sexton, the second-place finisher at the eleventh stop in Detroit, sat with Vital MX's Lewis Phillips after the race and unpacked his path to this point, bike set-up, mental shifts and MXGP. The FIM Motocross World Championship occupies the final ten minutes of this interview (or should that be podcast). This discussion is, as always, lighthearted and informal. Different from any other interviews in the paddock, this offers an unprecedented look into bike changes and the life of a racer. Rather than criticize, I ask that you enjoy the rare insight. Sexton details the path back to a more stock platform in a fashion that should be enjoyable for all of the technical fans in the world, for instance.
