Idk.....but I saw a few names I'd put Tommy Hahn on the bike over them.
Unless they're riding for next to nothing....
Man I couldn't agree more... WTF is up with that? THahn could smoke most of those dudes with rides. Guess his durabilitly is a question mark but the dude still has speed.

I'm gonna go with Canard and Roczen as surprises with Bell being my dark horse. BUT I think JS takes the trophy this year with more consistent finishes.

Hopefully the biggest surprise is that all of the riders stay healthy. And the championship is not decided until Vegas...

Only surprise (450) will be who of the top 4 win it all, all the rest will fall in place. As far as the young guns, I would be very surprised if Barcia isn't parked at A1 (time to learn a little respect).
Wouldn't be suprised at all if Barcia gets roughed up a bit,he could well have the speed to make the podium,and he can make starts too

I could see him missing a round or two of SX because of injury, but I could also see him also winning at least one supercross.

I agree about Weimer. The dude has skills to pay the bills. He is a hard worker, and very down to earth. He knows when to go hard, and when to hold up. Hoping for big things from him this year!

Like at Unadilla first moto this year? :-)
that doesn't count in my books, he was riding great and the track bit him in the ass. i think everyone crashed that day even dungey took a dirt sample.

Bold and fearless predictions.

The "wiggle" is back, stronger and more meaningful than ever.

Patience! Riders, urged on by team managers and sponsors, will figure out that you have to make every show to pay the bills, especially in this tough economy. It will be hard, with racers being racers and all. So I think and hope the lack of injuries will be a surprise. After the last couple of years, that would be great.

My favourite racer since Bradshaw, and The Hurricane before him, the man who brings excitement (notice a favourite rider preference, they might have blown a few championships, but they rode em like they stoled em. They put you on the edge of your seat), will announce his retirement from MX racing part way through the season and end up in a car for 2014.....a rally car if he has to start there. But I think he will get a few Nationwide runs, he is tres marketable. That being Mr. Stewart of course.

My most unfavourite racer, RV2, will win SX surprisingly easily. He and The Dunge will have an epic battle outdoors, with The Dunge winning due to RV having to pull out with a wrist or knee injury late in the series.

Bold/fearless.

I don't think we have seen the best what Musquin can do yet. I hope he can for once have a healthy off season and surprise people.

Pourcel coming back and getting podiums. That would be something. Even if it was outdoors.

Oh I hope Townley gets back into it this outdoors too.

Otherwise I've learned not to be surprised by much when it comes to moto...
