i wont be suprised to see pourcel and searle finish one and two in the ama champoinship. I think dungey is the only ama rider that can battle with those two. the others are too young and inexperienced to do battle with the top 3.

Dungey's the man though. I think it may be his title to lose. It really depends on Pourcel's recovery. Pourcel was poto fast before the injury. If he's 100% and in shape to handle the heat then it will be close between them. I think Pourcel might be a little faster indoors. Being on Mitch's team is like having an ace up your sleeve.
Searle would be a dark horse pick. He's fast, but I think he'll be a 3rd to 8th kind of guy. Again it may come down to conditioning. The euro tracks are plenty rough, but they don't have the same kind of heat to deal with. Skipping SX to work on the outdoors only may leave him the least injured and ready to rock come outdoors time. If he finds a nice hot place to hone his skills and lay down some laps he should be good to go.
Unless they up their game significantly they'll be in the same 3rd to 8th pack.
I think Pourcel is one of those freaks with the pure natural ability like Stewart and 'poto. Searle, not so much.
Both Pourcel and Searle will both be title threats next year in the AMA 250 nationals, mark my world. Pourcel had already won a US lites SX and his practice times are quicker than his brother, who gaves James Stewart a wake up call at the MXDN.
Both these kids have proven themselves in GP racing and earned their rides. Their not from the spoon feed US Loretta Lynn system, where any quick kid seemingly gets full on support , then implodes when the pressure to succeed is on.
Pit Row
this is classic shit stirring.
If he is consistent he will be a title threat in both series for sure with PC behind him %110.
(the second coming of another JMB?)
As for Searle I think he will have his work cut out for him in the Nats and he will be a top 10 for sure.
If you dont think Izzi Stroupe and Canard are not fast outdoors your pretty niave. Canards lap times rivelled villopotos but he only started in the top 15 twice and one of them times he battled with Ryan.
thats the kind of immaturity i like to see on this forum.
well done.
so what riders "imploded" under the pressure of full on support? seems to me ol snaggletooth tony imploded when he came here for the MXDN last year, yet he handles searle and pourcel pretty much every race.
