I think they'll only get the 450 title...... I think Honda will get the 250 title

It's funny. Suzuki went from having the weakest factory team, to perhaps the strongest within one signing. In the 250's they'll be lucky to get a handful of top five overall finishes, but 450's and WMX...it's possible.

I hope Wharton stays healthy. Maybe not title potential, but he'll do good.

I'm glad someone got it!

Not saying they will, but if JS7 and JP$ can be consistant and stay off of the ground they both can win!

It will be possible if the bikes stay together

I don't follow the boards as closely as I used to so this may have already been asked -
but what if James gets hurt and can't race SX 2013? Will he still get paid or is the contract over with?
since he's racing 'for free' this summer.

I dont think they will get the 450 title, but not by much as I am holding out hope that Stewy will stay healthy and be right there in the mix. In the end though, I think that Dungeys' consistency will end up paying off for KTMs first big bike title. I dont think they will get the 250 title. My money is on Tomac for the 250 title. I really want Slash to get some podiums and be in the mix.

As good as James looks on that bike, giving him the championship now is way premature. This is the sport of endurance and don't forget the second moto.

When was the last time James put in two professional motos with 39 other guys? 2008?

Sorry, bro, way off.

KTM has a much stronger team.

I find it amusing how most of you are handing James and the Zook the Championship, when we don't even know if Ol Stew can do 60 min + 4 laps in a race in the same day!

I like how you put Mike in front of James - seems more of a chance of that happening then the other way!

Woohoo

I meant the strongest Factory team in the 450's for outdoors. KTM have only Dungey, Honda and Kawasaki have been hit with injuries and Yamaha doesn't exactly have anyone capable of running Dungey/Stewart's pace.

I don't think you can deny they have potentially two race winners in Metcalfe and Stewart, therefore they've got a much stronger team than they would have had had they just gone to the races with Metty.
