Projected 2017 AMA National Numbers 17

The AMA national number system can seem confusing to some people who are new to our sport or don't keep up with it every week. So we're going to lay out some general information about the system before we dive into the projections. If you already know how everything works, you can skip to the projection lists.

- Every year, the AMA combines 250 East/West Supercross, 450 Supercross, 250 motocross, and 450 motocross into one big list.

- Riders who win a 450 championship or the 250 motocross championship can pick a single-digit as their career number.

- The top 10 riders in the combined list can choose a two-digit career number.

- When a rider earns a career number, they will keep that number until either they retire, or they fail to score 25 points in a season.

- The rest of the riders are assigned a number based on where they rank in the list. The higher they are ranked, the lower their assigned number will be.

Some notes about this year specifically:

- Cooper Webb can pick a single digit number, but he has not decided if he will take a single digit or keep his current number. When we asked him about it at Ironman, he said that #2 has some legendary weight behind it, #8 was Bradshaw's (and he digs that), #9 means nothing, and he also likes #17. It'll be interesting to see what he decides to do.

- Aaron Plessinger and Alex Martin both earned two-digit career numbers this year.

- Aaron Plessinger is expected to take #23 unless Webb takes a single digit, then he may consider #17.

- Alex Martin is still undecided, but he was considering either #24 or #26 when we asked him. We've listed him as #26 for our list.

- If Webb decides to take a single digit, which may prompt Plessinger to take #17, or if Martin decides to pick #24, everyone's numbers will change a little bit.

- If multiple riders are tied in points, the number order they are in currently may change.
