The season begins this Saturday.
Who's your pick for this year's champ?
As much as I dislike Roczen I think he will be champion.
1 Roczen
2 Tomac ↓
3 Musquin ↑
 
I think it will be Tomac, Musquin or maybe Anderson. I think Roczen is going to be fighting with that arm.
 
Musquin and Tomac will be at the front I assume. Roczen's arm is pretty jacked. I saw an interview with him not too long ago and he said that he has barely any strength in that arm. Be interesting to see if he can make it through a whole moto at race pace. He's got a lot of drive so hopefully that will make up for any shortfalls in arm strength. Either way should be some good racing this season.
 
Be interesting to see if Roczen's arm holds up...I think its Tomac's year but all my attention will be on the 250 West with my boy Justin Cooper making his SX debut...He was the top amateur last year and had a great pro debut at dilla. Word on the street is he's making his Star Racing teammate Plessinger look slow. Can't wait for the gates to drop tonight!!!
 
Seems crazy but with such an interesting sx season going on nobody wants to talk moto ..... whats up?
 
No one likes it enough to talk about it?

Sucks Roczen got taken out again. The way his arm got tangled up was pretty nasty. Guy can't catch a break. Or should I say tough break...

Surprised Tomac is so far behind in points. Thought he would of been doing better. He still has a chance. Just needs to string some 1st place podiums together...
 
Anderson is the next Dungey! Aldon trained,same as RD,is maturing every race.MM25 caught a tough break,was hot coming in. Tomac is so far out in points, I don't think the leaders are worried about him. JMart at Daytona, just saying!

It's true about Anderson and he is the ONLY guy who hasn't been hurt. How about Peick and Brayton, they've been riding brilliantly. The 250 class will boil down to Osborne or Forkner both are good sand riders
 
Daytona! Track doesn't look as Tech as in years past? 450 Tomac, Anderson,Webb. 250Martin, Zach,Forkner. Always hope for a miracle and have Luke podium! Would be awesome!
 
Hope R.J. is ok. Those gatorbacks are gnarly. The old D-Back track had one in the infield back around 2002 that ate people up all the time. Tough if timing is not right.

That track was burly!! (having seen it in person). The quad that ET3 was doing in the back was easily 90 feet. Best race I've seen in years.
 
Eli is sitting third. But it looks like he's far behind first place in points. With only a few races to go, does he have a chance at catching first? I know there's a new point system so I'm not too sure if he can close that gap.
 
Eli is too far back. When he's on, he's unstoppable, but when he gets behind, it's usually a finish out of the top 15. It's tough to have even one bad race, but he's just had a few too many.

Like Stewart used to ride, Eli is all out and either wins, charges through the field for a podium, or crashes. Unlike Stewart, Eli doesn't give up when he has a bad race. Stewart would ride to the pits if he wasn't top 3.
