Is it too early to start talking about AC92 on the gate in Hangtown?

I heard that there was some disagreement in Daytona about a start date for AC and the Nationals.

Meaning they're argueing over whether he should start the nationals at the first round or do the last few after Loretta's?

He may not win but he will run up front... no doubt. He's been preparing to go pro for the last 5 years and trains everyday with Villopoto.

Webb will be a contender once he get's on a bike and team that can win. Huge mistake not staying on Honda's and PC/FC... still not sure how all that went down as Webb was Honda's golden boy after Bam Bam turned pro.

The bike/team will allow AC92 to succeed much earlier than Webb IMO.

Any word on where he might show up before the nationals, if he races them?

Adam is more well known as AC in the USA than the AC with six world titles.

The poor fella has so much hype on him he almost has to win straight away.

I watched the race live and Wilson had some issues(I know he hit his face or chin on the cross bar when he cased a double) he was all over moosecan and dropped back rather suddenly...

PC and FC still have the best equipment and it's not debateable. The end of their dominance has more to do with business savvy on FC's part than the equipment. I predict PC will reamerge as the #1 team over the next couple years.

AC was on PulpMX Monday night answering this question. He is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and only now starting with light riding. AC was saying Aldon has him on a plan to meet specific targets for speed and endurance. If he hits those he's in, if not it'll be either a few rounds in or after Loretta's.

not really. i think adams only issue will be his body needing to mature and get stronger, he has tons of talent and drive things that some others guys lack. i just hope he doesnt turn into a podium robot.i enjoy listening to him talk, and hes got a good sense of humor too.

Has nothing to do with who is more well-known and where, and everything to do with the fact that no one likes typing out Ciancarulo and probably butchering the spelling like I assuredly did.

Glad I could clear that up for you before you turn this in to a fucking GP vs AMA thread. You could turn a thread about spoke nipple into a GP vs AMA thread, im confident of it.

Although I agree with you that PC and FC have the best bikes The Yamahas that Coop and Martin are riding are strong and I think very close to the others. Look at Zach Ozborn last year on his Yamaha. I think he did better on that then he has on his Honda.
Im a Honda guy but just about everybody I see that gets on a "good" Yamaha does very well. Last week most of the top 250 classes were on blue at mill creek.

BOBBY Coop is the real deal. I have thought this since he was on those Cr85s. I'm excited to see him at his first pro race because I think there will be alot of people asking who the heck that kid is.Smile

Coop on a big bike is a whole new ball game. He is smooth and fast on the big bikes. You will enjoy this vid and keep in mind that Coop is on a 250 when everybody else is on a 450 and they are fast guys. Hayes has ran good at a few nationals on a bike (a KTM) that he couldnt ride very good and Cooper runs him down and walks away from him.
Enjoy.

Nobody walked away from anybody in that vid, but Webb did look good.

So much talent coming in. Martin looks pretty legit, and Webb and AC are bound to be excellent. I think the days of a rookie coming in and dominating the 250 class (ala RC, JS and RV) are gone.

What I should have said was that he came from way back and cought and passed them just like he did yesterday at Oak hill. In one of the 250 A mod motos Yesterday he started almost dead last and won the moto. The kid carrys so much speed in the corners its crazy. I'm not saying he can win right away but he will be on the gas and with Gary Baily on his side he will only get faster.
