Lets see, first it was McGrath dominating, then RC, then a couple years with James when he was healthy, and now RV! Do you think we will ever see a season with 7-8 different winners in SX or MX.
RC in his mad little leprechaun mode would still kick all their asses.
It's still a little early to say it's going to be more of the same. 2 races in and 2 different winners. Hell the podium has been very different both rounds with only Dungey making the podium in both.
I know where you're coming from though. RV looks like he's going to repeat 2013. He had a rough A1, then he came back and dominated the rest of the season. I'm just staying hopeful at this point. I still think Dungey, Barcia, Milsaps and Canard (when they get back) and hopefully Brayton can steal a win. Roczen should get another one and hopefully Stewart and Reed can get up there. Also Tomac should be back. He actually got a good start at A1. Maybe he got those figured out.
It's tough to bet against RV in any given race though. I think we have a better chance this season than in past seasons.
The Shop
Js7
Rd5
And JB51 will all three win 1
So IMO this is as close as we have seen in
a while to a more competitive series.
Has JB pulled enough confidence out of last week to believe he can win one ?
Tomac will he come back strong and pull one swell.
its just hard to tell now but the field has the potential to deliver numerous different winners this year
Stewart proved last year he could beat RV
Dungey proved last year he could beat RV
Roczen has proven he can beat him this year
that r 4 other riders then RV and Saps and Canard r not in it atm so if they would be in it, there would be 7 legit riders that can win why would it be impossible to have 6-8 different riders that win a main event? Imagine a huge mudder and Reed is in it to win it
Parity to win a Championship without RV getting injured or having a DNF? No
JMO of coarse.
Motocross is such a mental sport that even when RV retires their will be a couple guys who will step up and start winning and with winning their confidence will increase and they will string together some championships
RV balls out and RD consistent if RV cant get enough wins RD is going to be hard to handle.
Although i think Roczen has the best of 2 worlds has the speed to win and is consistent if he's not colliding with Barcia that is
It seems every year there are a handfull of riders
considered good enought to win
the championship that people seem to feel let down by ..Dungey always comes to mind in recent years
as a guy that people say isnt doing enough
Or good enough but the fact is there can only be one champion..
So really the best we can hope for is multiple winners
and good battles and it seems we most definetly
have that this year!
Go get a win this weekend Rd5
And hush the critics for a minute
JMO
its slam or get slammed i just hope they can leave it behind them and focus forward instead of taking themselves out of the Cship run with childish behaviour
high for Canard and Millsaps
coming right back and fighting for wins and getting podiums
..I hope im wrong but id picture both fighting for top 10's
in this stacked field under the cicumstances
.being a little off there game just from not racing for a while
and getting back in race shape etc..
Pit Row
But the guy is down 1 point
He is more of a title contender than a win contender IMO
What about brayton? Surely he proved last weekend that he's more than capable of winning a race this year! (he came very close) then add tomac into the mix later in the season- wouldnt be surprised if tomac won one this year. Wasnt there something like 8 riders all within a second of each other (laptimes) at one of the rounds? Seems pretty close to me! good start and a bit of luck there could be 7 or 8 different winners this year easily
winners from 93-2001
MC tons of wins, so much so that if MXkied Larocket Emig Albee Dowd Windham Lusk Tortelli won it was a giant killer type deal (all of those are a win here or there, 1 off 1 time win basically And Im sure I missed 1 or 2 but if so, they were a one timer)
2001-2006
RC, JS, Reed, Windham, DV...... the vast majority between RC JS Reed (anyone I missed off this would be a one off deal also or a fluke type deal)
2008-2013
JS, Reed, Windham, Millsaps, Dung, RV, Canard all with multiple wins, you don't know who is going to win especially since 2011. Add in BamBam, Roczen, to that mix now..... and there is no parity? Plus the Brayton bandwagon is filling up, Tomac will surely be in the mix by seaon end, get Trey and Davi healed up, that's 9 that you wont omg holy shit they won? guys.
Almost half the field can win and it wont be a shock omg deal... and no parity? we haven't seen this much parity since 83-84.
Then there's JS7 and his run towards the front...altho slower than usual at PHX.
KR seems to be able to get up there and race. JB51, too.
Oh, and shall we recall that Reed's showing some speed and is still capable.
I wouldn't throw Weimer out with the Bath-Water, either.
You have eight to ten riders out there that're capable of winning a Supercross and that in itself makes it a season with a lot more opportunity for a lot more people.
When we go East...I think there'll be a few additional riders in the 450s to "mix things up" a bit. Even one on a 350.
Racing is not the same. You can have 100 guys show up to try and qualify and at the end there is only 1 single guy that walks away w/ it all.
Post a reply to: Will we ever see parity in the 450 class again?
