Monster Energy Supercross 450 rookie Chase Sexton will take his debut season on a race by race basis and will still have ‘brutally honest’ mentor James Stewart in his corner.
Sexton is in the Team HRC setup this season and has been working with the legendary Stewart since the middle of last season – something that has brought him plenty of attention, wanted or not.
“Itās not so much pressure, but James does draw a lot of attention. For me, heās been a really big help so far. I mean, I had him outdoors and he helped a lot with bike set-up, which is a big thing in the 450 class,” said Sexton.
āDoing it so long, heās helped me a lot with that and probably played the biggest role in helping me to set up my bike. Heās pretty brutally honest, so he calls it how it is and sees me ride every day ā he kind of knows where these guys are at.
āIām excited, he will be at Houston and weāre just going to take it race by race. I just want to be consistent, put myself in good positions, get good starts and let my riding do the talking. Weāll see where weāre at because no-one knows, so Iām ready to go.ā
