The kid rode well this season. I think it was smart to follow his plan. I believe that if he can stay healthy through SX next year, he will be the odds on favorite to win the outdoors.

He's going to be a contender, no doubt. I like his style and he's got a great attitude from what I've see in his interviews

X2, some more experience and IMO he will be a force to be reckoned with

Great kid with a great attitude. I feel like he was much better than most people, even himself this year. He has all the pieces of the puzzle.

jeremy is going to smash everyone next year.

Forkner could be fighting for second though.

I dunno I think he's gonna have his hands full. Ac is getting the fire back, Savatgy will bet right there, I think Forkner will have his wins inthibk his time will be 2018, and I think Plessinger is gonna be a huge threat next year.

I agree. I think he'll mesh with the Geico bike just fine. Those bikes rip, we just haven't seen a rider of Martin's caliber on one in awhile. Jeremy brings it every race, can these young guys be consistent and run at the front every race? Martin's gonna wear them all out IMO. The possible exception is AC if he stays healthy.

Honestly not surprised to see him do so well. Had a feeling he'd kill it after announcing he was skipping SX to train for the outdoors. Definitely has a good head on his shoulders and is thinking long term.

IF JMart is healthy, none of the guys in that class will touch him.

Savatgy is the closest to him speed and consistency wise.

I have feeling JMart is going to love the Hondas and will have his fitness back.

The Rock will get him where he needs to be and he will have the support of the entire team unlike at Star.

I'm buying Forkner. I also think AC can return to former glory.

Jeremy is going to be in a tough spot, I think his SX struggles are going to be a problem, mentally. I will go out on a limb and say Jeremy finishes his career as a two time 250F national champion. Very respectable

This year was a huge anomaly for J-Mart... not to take away from Coop because he's had his struggles the last 2.5 years also, but J-Mart healthy is still the favourite IMO, by quite a bit too.

As rough as he was he was still in it even with a mechanical till the injury.

I think Forkner will win his coast in SX and battle for the title in outdoors next year! This kid has the entire package! My 2nd favorite rider these days behind the man Coop!

I have that same feeling about him. He's is going to gell with the Honda's just fine. SX, I think he's always gonna struggle with but don't bet against JMart outdoors

Jeremy looked much better this year in sx. I bet he wins both titles. The guy is normally motivated, and with this year going the way it did with the training and health issues. He will have a burr under his saddle
