From corner entry to exit, Hunter looked untouchable in moto one — which makes the moto two crash sting even more. Watching this play out mid-title-fight between brothers, seeing a 10-point swing come from something like this leaves you with mixed feelings. How they regroup over the last four motos is where the real story is.

So this was a solo crash, not a red-flag incident?

Deegan's 4th is kind of underrated here, no?

10 points with four motos left is still very much in reach.

Four rounds left — this title fight is far from decided.

Hoping Hunter walked away from that crash uninjured.

This kind of swing in a brothers' rivalry is pure drama.

Even Jett doesn't seem thrilled about it, going by his comment.
