I think he has a bright one from what I've seen. I kind of bagged on the kid because I didn't think he trained hard enough ( even though I've always liked him ).....but the kid is proving me wrong. Super smooth and he has an awesome style on the big bike!

Wonder what that kid could be capable of if he trained his ass off? With someone like Aldon or Hughes , ect ??

All I know is , the kid better be on a factory bike next season , or a very well equipped satellite team! This kid has some wins coming within the next year or two. I wouldn't put it past him to sneak one in this year either.

After his performances on the 450 over the years I don't think there is any question he will get a factory 450 ride when he moves up next year.

Its just his outdoor prowess that is hurting him. Apparently he is riding the 450 outdoors this year? Might fit him better with the added finesse required.

He's so smooth from all that BMX he raced. I hope he can replace Bambam because I don't see him staying red if his contract is up.

Seely is a pleasure to watch ride. Loads of natural talent, he stays "light" on the bike & rides clean. I hope Team Honda is wise enough to scoop him up.

Sometimes there is such a thing as not cocky or self-confident enough. Cole is a rider designed for the big bike and he continues to show it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of us out here with more faith in Cole than he has in himself.

He certainly has the starts dialed. He has the speed. He has the lines and the smarts to change lines when he needs to. He just needs to be more confident in his own ability. He doesn't ride the big bike like a part-timer... more like a tip-toeing full timer. Kid's gonna be fine on the score-sheets once he starts believing in himself as much as most of us believe in him.

Cole is one of those Windham kind of talents. We'll still be talking about him 10 years from now.

I was searching for this thread this morning and was surprised I couldn't find one. I love watching him go around the track, him and Kroc have those 450s down. X2 on the future wins coming from this kid, but like MC, he's going to have to work on his outdoor stuff.

He told me last night that it was his last one this year.
Was hoping he'd do Tor and STL.

He's got the starts dialed. I remember in the past years when he has bumped up to the 450 class he has been a good starter. I like Seeley. He seems like a low key kind of guy that just goes out and does business. I'm a bit torn on who I want to win the 250 title. I like both him and Anderson.

Cole is going to be a beast in 450F SX class. Along with Canard, I am betting he is on Team Honda 2015.

I would have never thought he was this good. But I can see it now.

Seely's style is amazing! So smooth and fluid. Easily one of my favorite riders to watch.

A whole lot of 250 riders never adapt well to the 450s, but Cole is not one of those, he looks dialed on the big bike.

Btw, if you've ever raced you know it takes desire to get the holeshot, and Cole has been getting great starts in the big class. That means he has that deep down desire to do well in the big class, he wants it bad, something you can't train for or put a price on.

get rid of barcia and get this kid on asap, i cant see barcia being a title contender (doesnt mean he wont win races) in the 450's when he needs to use contact in almost every pass and crashes because of it or just wipes himself out from his own style

he got fuck all cred for his run up front compared to Wilson, who was back a few spots. Not bagging on Wilson but I'm pretty sure we all know why he didn't get as much TV time. Give the guy some credit too. Fro was pumping Wilson till he started loosing spots I noticed also.
