just wondering what you predict for the MX2/ Lites next year?
My guess is:

AMA Lites
1 pourcel
2 Canard
3 Searle
(not sure if Dungy still is in mx2, if he is I predict its going to be close between him and Pourcel)

FIM MX2
1 Osbourne
2 Aubin
3 Simpson

Btw, Wait till next year whit saying STFU Smile

AMA

Dungey
Pourcel
Searle

I think those three will have more experience than some equally fast rider like Stroupe, Warton, Canard.

GP

Aubin
Osborne
Frossard

Again Aubin has 2-3 years of GP Mx2 experience compared to Osborne. But Zach was very quick this weekend.

1. Dungey
2. Izzi
3. Barcia

Obviously it's hard to say how Pourcel is going to return after his injury, but it's worth mentioning that before his accident he was a far better rider than Searle and even his older brother Sebastian.

I should think Dungey will take the title but put it this way, we had high hopes for Townley when he went stateside but an inform Christophe Pourcel is an even better prospect. It will all depend on how he returns to racing after his injury.

Dungey
Stoupe
Canard
Barcia

Those will be your top four if they all stay healthy. The order could be a little different. If Barcia does go pro for the outdoor season, look out the kid is bad ass!!

As for Pourcel, Searle, and Rattry (if he comes over) the will be top 5-7. I don't think they'll be able to hang with Dungey or Stroupe, the favorites to win the title, they might be able to hang with Izzi, Wharton, or some of those guys.

Rattray's moving to MX1 in the GPs next year, he had a shocking des Nations which was a real shame for him.


Stroupe looks like he'll be one hell of a rider in a few years - that kid is FAST!!! But I think Searle and Pourcel will be around Canard's pace as long as they learn the circuits quickly -- Searles riding style should really suit wide, fast American tracks.

It's so funny reading the predictions you can tell who is from the US and who is not.

The most accurate prediction is:

1. The guy who wears his hat the most sideways.

2. The guy with the biggest wheels on his truck.

3. The guy who speaks in ebonics.

Not necessarily in that order

Canard wont finish the season
Barcia will throw it away
And Wharton just isn't fast enough in this company
Weimer top 10
Izzi top 10

Being that Mike never sandbagged, this post doesn't make sense.

Winning championships for the team you ride for and are under contract with
while developing as rider is what you call sandbagging. Mike and his family have
made decisions for his career and Ryan and his family have made theirs. The good
thing for all of us fans of MX is will get to see them race each other again in 2009.
Hope you look forward to it as much as I do!

P.S. It was'nt suppose to make sense, it was a retort to BobbyM's comment on Ryan
that did'nt make sense either. Meant in fun I assume.
