Seems like the only race every weekend now is WHICH! Kawasaki rider, James Stewart or Ryan Villopoto can gap the rest of the field by the most seconds. My money is on Villopoto to put some serious hurt on the rest of the field again and the best part is I'll be there to see it in person.

Well...I could, but they won't let me enter both classes, so I refuse to go.

Bobby, you're nothing if not devoted. Smile

I hope Mike has a better weekend in Freestone than he did at Hangtown. He looked pretty unhappy afterward.

From my point of view, if you're looking for someone to stop the Kawi freight train, you might want to look for a rider in the Lites class...like Lawrence or Dungey. But Stroupe and Metcalfe are right there, too.

I would go with Dungey in the 250's and Milsaps in the 450's

Dungey and Ferry. Although it may take a JBS mistake for Timmy to take a win..

Just like last year, and maybe even the year before, Kawasaki itself is quite capable of stopping itself in the 450 class. Remember when Stewart's KX450 seized over that high speed jump? Mechanical problems are always a possibility with any brand.

No.


When it happens, I think Lawrence will do it before Dungey. Well, he has already, for a moto at least.

The pins in RV's wrist are set to WFO. Cool

I think the Freestone track will suit James well and he will win huge.

ha.

Guess that's the point. I think the guys to stop Stew and Poto are also on green.

I'm thinking that Stroupe is coming along quick. If I remember correctly, he was very fast at Freestone last year, so I expect him to be a player this year (plus he's been hauling pretty good so far this year).

Timmy is a good pick to be a player in the big bikes. Those whoops are tough and that's where he will make time.

Shorty was strong in moto 1 last year, but I don't see anyone challenging James short of a mechanical.

Nobody is going to stop the Kawasaki winning machine. That ball is rolling fast and picking up speed. They probably will win every overall in both outdoor classes this year. That is unless Stewart has enough points lead to skip Unadilla like he said he would. But then Tim Ferry would win Unadilla.

If James wraps up the title early and is not working on a perfect season I would like to see pull and RC and drop down to the lites class and race Villipoto.

Actually it is RV that will also have the title wrapped up and have the opportunity to STEP UP and race Stewart.

Never going to happen. RV will wait until next year when Stewart has retired from outdoor motocross and goes SX only.

We can only hope that we get to see the two of them on the same starting line at the 2008 MXoN. RV won against RC last year. It should be interesting this year.
