 Ricky and Robb Podcast - Episode 10

Topic 1: Where Does Sexton Go Next?
Chase Sexton's injury has reignited one of the biggest conversations in motocross, Supercross, and the 2026 silly season. Rather than focusing on changing manufacturers, Ricky Johnson believes Kawasaki remains the best place for Sexton to succeed. The discussion centers on the importance of simplifying his program, surrounding himself with the right people, reducing outside pressure, and allowing one of the fastest riders in the sport to rebuild confidence. Ricky explains that Sexton has already shown race-winning speed and believes the solution is not a different motorcycle but a more focused environment that allows him to consistently perform at his highest level.

Topic 2: Plessinger to Triumph. Next Step?
With Aaron Plessinger expected to join Triumph, the conversation shifts to what it takes to launch a successful partnership between an experienced rider and a growing factory program. Ricky discusses how Triumph should focus on creating an environment where Plessinger can enjoy riding again, reduce unnecessary pressure, and help develop the motorcycle while remaining competitive. The discussion highlights Triumph Racing, 450 motocross, MXGP, bike development, rider confidence, and why Plessinger's personality and experience could make him the perfect rider to help establish Triumph as a championship contender.

Topic 3: MXDN Team USA Selection
With the Motocross of Nations approaching, Ricky and Coach Robb debate who should represent Team USA based on the first four rounds of the Pro Motocross Championship. The conversation evaluates riders including Haiden Deegan, Garrett Marchbanks, Aaron Plessinger, Cooper Webb, Ryder DiFrancesco, Jo Shimoda's competition, and several top 250 contenders while emphasizing that rider attitude, consistency, fitness, and willingness to sacrifice for the team are just as important as outright speed. Ricky also explains why former champions and experienced veterans should play a much larger role in preparing Team USA for the unique demands of MXDN competition.
