Only one race but impressive tonight. Where do you think he would thrive the most next year, team and series

I believe there are two options for 2020. Kawasaki will move JS17 out to make place for him. The other is Honda's long term plans. I can see AC taking Seely's place. With KTM's immediate future secure with Webb and Marvin, there is nowhere else to go except Kawa or Honda.

This makes sense, and with AC and Kroc being really good friends and training partners the connection is already there at Honda. I think this was brought up on PulpMX last year?

He seems like a genuinely great guy; top notch rider, humble, grateful, intelligent and well spoken. Great ambassador for the sport and his sponsors.

I’d personally love to see Kawi field 3 riders. I understand that it 99.9% WONT happen, but Savatgy has exceeded all expectations and in my opinion has been the best rookie this year by far.

Eli, Adam and Joey gives them 3 guys who would battle for top 5’s every night.

This. AC would be crazy to move up!

It's not like the guys who beat him have moved up and started winning straight away. 450s are deep right now.

Stay down, get paid, enter with all the strength and confidence you can muster. Still have a long 450 career ahead of him.

I say Kawi gets frustrated with Eli and moves AC into his spot. KTM lets Musquin go and signs Tomac into his spot. Tomac, Webb, Cairoli, and Herling gives KTM the four fastest riders on the planet and ensures them of global domination for the forseeable future. LOL

He‘s been long enough in the 250 class already..

Longshot odds on this one, JGR Suzuki needs an elite caliber rider. They pay AC a boatload of money to jump ship.

I’ve seen a couple comments that AC’s Dad is no longer in the picture. Anyone know what happened? Noticed mom didn’t have wedding ring on either last night.....

Adam will go to a top team and there are only three top teams at the moment in the US. Honda, Kawi and KTM/Husky.

Adam will be 24 next year and it's time to get on a 450. Would love to see him and Kenny next year on the same team.

I’m currently eating crow with my Savatgy prediction. He is much much better than I expected. I see AC doing another year on the 250 and possibly riding some 450 races on the opposite coast next season. Could it possibly be Tomac he replaces on Kawi and not Savatgy? Tomac turned pro in 2010. People forget that. Plus he’s had a major injury in his career. So in my scenario AC heads into 2021 moving up to the 450. If Savatgy stays as a consistent top ten and borderline top five guy, the logical move is to go with AC over Tomac. Tomac would have just completed his tenth full season professionally and his eleventh motocross season. If he hasn’t won a SX Championship by then and isn’t riding the 1 plate for Kawi, my guess is they roll with the AC/Savatgy combo.

He rode awesome last night, that was a great race to see. I’m surprised nobody on here mentioned his had at all tho. That didn’t look to pretty and hopefully he’s good since he said he was barley able to move it. As for him moving up, I’d say Kawi but it’s not hard to see him go to Honda by any means. Where he ends up that team is going to have one hell of a good guy and a badass rider.

He was talking about his clutch lever, not his hand

After Monster Cup, I thought that Savagty and Tomac would be exactly where Marv and Webb are this season, with Tomac destroying the field and Savagty being a solid top 5/podium guy. And I thought Webb/Musquin would be a TERRIBLE combo. Huh

So much crow to eat all around. Such a weird season.
