Which current MX2 rider do you think will have the most succesfull career in his life? It looks like Baggett will be champion this year but will he be the next big thing in the 450s once everbody steps up to the big class?

Personally I recon Tomac or Roczen as the new champions. Tomac keeps improving and improving and he seems to be a lot stronger then in the beginning of this year. Roczen is only 18, is already a 2 time champion, already won 3 supercross main events, also got 2nd in the 450 SX class and it was his first year in the US. Next year he will also have some experience 'under his belt' and we might see a KRoc like in the GPs ...

Tomac, Tomac, Tomac. Kid is built for a 450. He's looks to have that next gear much like Blake but is far superior in SX

No one. I dont think anyone will touch rickys records. Rv as well, 2 truly dominant riders in the past 25 years. Yeah, there have been alot of greats but only 2 alphas.

Chris, I think Wilson is built for the 450 and will surprise some folks once he moves up.

IMO Tomac will be more like Dungey & Roczen more like RV.
It will be very interesting to see where Wilson & Barcia are in the mix of the 450's next year

Barcia will be awesome on the 450 Deano will be Incredible on the 450
And of course i think Barcia will be better on the 450 in Sx
But Deano will be the better in Outdoor Motorcross

Tomac belongs with the Big Red Machine! Don't even be dreaming of him else where. Barcia and Tomac Factory Honda all the way.

Should be interesting at the MEC. Everyone will be on a big bike, so hopefully that gives a good indication of the future

Tomac for sure. The kid has the heart of a champion and the fitness to match.

Dean's def lanky too. I admit I'm kind of sleeping on Wilson. Not a paticular fan of his style but if he can step up, it's just more depth to a stacked field. Do we need a Deano vs. Tomac rivalry to go with our Dungey vs. RV one? LOL

Tomac and Roczen I think. Those guys are really good and really smart too.

Don't count Barcia out on a 450, Jeff Stanton has really helped him this year. He is much smarter and rides smoother on the 450 which makes him go even faster.

Yeah, that would be amazing with the help of Roger but KTM is already pretty stacked. I think Musquin will definitely step up to the 450s after next year and they also have Roczen for the future. Having Tomac around also will be too much for 1 team I think. What would be amazing is Tomac to factory Honda and Canard to KTM!

I think we're going to enjoy the same thing we enjoyed in the 80's. A lot of parity among truly exceptional riders, any one of whom could have been up to dominating in a time when there was less depth.
