...Roczen walks home with the million after this weekend. With the amount of riders out due to injury or new teams, I'd be hard pressed to bet against it.

I would've almost bet it had it been a loaded A1 type gate but with the amount of top guys out for this event, I'd say it's a given.

What do you think?

Why hold the races if the outcome has been decided?

Over the years, it's been proven winning the million isn't so simple. It's a night where anything can happen.

Let's just wait, watch and enjoy the races.

One thing that doesn't work in Vegas in regards to winning the million as 9/10 the race is decided by the start because the dirt is so damn hard there is usually bugger all passing. The dudes just slip around and make up one or two spots at most.

Dungey ain't done. Can Eli for this one.

That's more of an MA800 kind of thing than Tomac

I putting my money on Josh Hill riding the Alta Redshift to win.


















Oh wait, sorry wrong race.

Don't you have to pull all three holeshots to win too?

Never said I wasn't going to enjoy the race. Anything can happen obviously and I'd rather it be close race than anything.

Why even have a discussion if people can't get help but get butt hurt over a simple hypothetical? When even have a platform to discuss shit in general?

All I'm saying is with all things considered, to me it seems more likely this war someone takes the million over previous years. Fuck me right?

I haven't heard that. If that is the case, no one wins it. Grinning

I think Dungey will win the overall, although he wont win a race, therefore Monster keeps their millions!

Sorry, " stamp it" , ( no clown pun intended ( it ))

Not unless they added a new rule.

Three holeshots usually nets you a new Toyota pickup, but it's separate from the million dollar prize.

I think Kenny will be fired up to prove his switch to Honda is no fluke or hasnt slowed him down or whatever, the bike itself looks dialed/settled in the vids we have seen, I think definitely he has a chance to win the $1m ...but I sure as heck dont discount Ryan and ET being there to hijack that.

Judging by the new racer x vid it doesn't look like he's that comfortable on the bike yet, Cole looked faster

Have you seen the line up of guys? Dungey, Tomac, Roczen, Reed, Musquin, Webb (maybe not?). I don't see anyone taking the million, any of those guys could and that makes it harder on all of them. I think Tomac's sitting good to win the even though, he's healthy, no changes and was awesome at the GP's.

There is a 100% chance that it's a 50/50 deal if he shows up. And I'll bet if he does , he'll either take 1st , dead last or some where in between.

Tomac is the only one that has everything in place from before OR isn't coming off of a pretty real injury!

I think Roczen will win the over all for sure, but I don't think he will take the million. Usually something always happens where they never get the million. I am rooting for him to get the million though. I wanna see Honda and Kenny do good this year.

Seems like a lot of people already forgot how Dungey gave KRoc a run for his money in SX season. AFAIK Monster Cup is pretty similar to supercross, Dungey didn't seem too rusty in SMX last weekend and his SX skills are there. On another hand it would be dumb to count out ET or Marvin.

I'm a big time Honda guy but would bet roczen does not win the million. Love to see it but not likely IMO

with dungey, Tomac, barcia, and Webb on the line with him, I doubt anyone walks with the $1mil. Someone may win a new tundra though from holeshots.
