Whew! You are so right ...that IS liberating!
Stewart - He is the most entertaining rider on the track, and IMO, in the history of the sport. Amazing style, and you know he's going to do something spectacular every time he gets on the track. It could be a quad +1 or a wild crash, but either way you can guarantee Stewart will give you your money's worth.
Dungey - I admire his amazing consistency. He's always going to be right there in the fight. Might not be the most exciting rider, but you can count on him to be on the podium damn near every weekend.
Villopoto - His aggressiveness on the track his amazing. I really believe someone told him the track slept with his wife or something, because he just feels a need to destroy it.
Tomac - Kids awesome. I saw him in ATL last year, and most guys came in after practice and went straight to the semi. Tomac got off the bike and shook hands and took pictures and signed autographs before heading back to the semi. Granted he was just doing a small stint on the 450, so he actually had time for that sort of thing, but it was refreshing to see. Definitely seems to be a down to earth dude.
Reed - A guy that believes in himself enough to go out and start his own team deserves respect. Coming back to win after a bike change and his 2013 slump and everyone writing him off was great to see. Looking forward to seeing him back upfront for the rest of the season.
Canard - I don't know what it is, but I love his style. He looks so loose on the bike, and his scrubs are insane. They don't look forced, they just look fluid and smooth. Another down to earth dude that does great things off the track and a perfect role model for children everywhere.
Barcia - Most people don't like it, but I like the BamBam attitude. I think it just adds to the excitement of the race. Rivalries are good for the sport, and Barcia is the guy to create a good rivalry. Hoping to see him get better results this season.
Millsaps - Not sure what got into his ass, but he delivered last season. Really unfortunate turn of events for him this year, but I look forward to see him get back on the track. Rarely we get to see a guy go from a consistent 5-10 rider to a points lead holder and title contender. He somehow found that next level and it was amazing.
Roczen - Seems to be doing everything right. Comes right out of the gate and wins A1. I expected him to come out and get his feet wet a little in his rookie season then really make a push next year, but he's right there in the title hunt after 4 rounds. In a field this deep, that's saying something.
Brayton - Like Millsaps last year, he came out and opened some eyes this year. JGR seems to have the '14 Yamaha really dialed in this year, and it's great to see him find that next level as well and be battling for wins. It seems once you reach a certain speed, any extra speed gets smaller and harder to find, he seems to have found quite a bit over the off season.
Peick - What can you say? This guy is on it. 7th at A2 behind Reed, Stewart, Roczen, Brayton, Villopoto and Dungey. Did you read the names in front of him? VERY impressive. Expecting great things from him this season.
With all that said, I think it's obvious I just cheer for great racing. I hope this championship is a 5 rider battle all the way to Vegas!
Edit: Shit, I can't believe I forgot top jimmy!!
Kenny is pretty rad too
James is a straight up boss
Tomac? Shreds for sure...but I think he is overhyped on here. Definitely the king of choking
My favorite rider of all time, JN Roberts.
Pit Row
this kid.
I tend to cheer for great racing as well. No run away championships.....and some good ol' fashion bar bangin' action.
Now, granted, I want Bubba to win tons of races and a title so I can be happy for him and rub it in everyone's faces, and if he gets beat in the first heat race of the year, heat races of course being his specialty, by a rider who's effectively been out since early 2011, that's not a great sign of things to come. So of course I wanted him to win. (Plus with Trey he doesn't have to win everything; you're pretty content as a fan if he's in the top 5, just so long as he's not hurting himself further.)
But then at Millville it happened again! Easily the best racing of the season, and I was definitely willing for Bubba to win. It's a lot of stress watching your favorite dudes, who also happen to be the two most wildly tenacious* dudes on the track, battle each other for a win - twice (which stress turned out not to be entirely needless, since they actually did make contact in the air while throwing their bikes around). But it's all good.
[ * I was gonna say most accident-prone, but I think Zach Bell holds that title now. ]
Tomac third.
