AC92 in 9th. 😂😂😂
I’m an AC92 fan, but his competitors are all hungry for a title and more experienced in the class. ET3 and Musquin need to win a 450 SX Title so bad it’s probably driving them insane. ZO16, Kenny and Webb have been 🔥 here lately and JB51 is finally feeling comfortable on his Yami. Anderson is just Savage! I’m probably ranking him way to low. Brayton is rested up and ready to go and Baggett is a killer holeshot specialist and pretty consistent. Deano should probably be in the mix somewhere too. This current AMA Pro lineup is just scary fast and talented IMO. I’m just sayin AC is fast as hell, but he has his work cut out for him with the big boys.

I mean nobody probably picked either Cooper or JA the last couple years so I would say he’s a solid pick along with Eli of course.

I think it depends on how the tracks are set up. Small whoops and complex rhythm sections would favor MM25, long tough whoops favor Rocket and Eli. It’s a two man race between Roczen and Tomac. Given roczens weird results, I think Eli will win 9-10 races and bring it home.

It's not Cooper’s fault that ET and MM were inconsistent .Other than that, what did he luck into?

1. The previous champion got injured early in the season.
2. Tomac and Kawasaki were struggling with the new bike.
3. Roczen wasn't up to form yet.
4. He cut the track to pass Tomac and wasn't penalized for it.

So your basically saying the stars must align perfect to have a championship winner worthy? . Get real the stars never align. Every year someone is hurt or someone’s set up is off. So the guy who isnt hurt and his setup is on point wins.
This is the truth. The guy with the most points at the end of the season is the only one who deserves to win.

I have a feeling Eli Tomac will be dialed for SX unlike any year before, and will prove a devastating presence to everyone else's agenda.

He has zero chance a the 450 Supercross title. He was fading well before the hot days. That crash put fear into him the same way it did to Chad Reed after his Spring Creek Crash. Reed was never the same and should have won the Motocross Championship that year and the supercross the next until another huge crash shook him. Roczen is the same once Webb took away his confidence and pushed Kenny to ride a pace he was uncomfortable with it was over. Will, we still see flashes of brilliance from him like at Unadilla hell ya there is no arguing that he is most likely the most naturally talented Rider in the world right now but that crash and his brother in laws crash will always be in the back of his mind now and that is an injury you can't fix! I feel for the kid but he made his bed by being cocky and now he has t lay in it. He was too good for KTM then RCH and ended up on the Honda which was clearly the problem since the same crash happened twice within a few Races lucky for him the MEC crash wasn't as bad. But I doubt you will ever see a 100% Roczen again no matter what he says.

Don't forget Ken had his bike really working at the end of the season. Absolutely flying through the whoops.

They're all going to have problems beating CW2 for SX titles. His starts are clutch,and he turns fast laps while shortening the track, taking inside lines. Alot of guys lose time taking inside lines on blue groove SX tracks.

Webb will be extremely tough to beat. Not on the same level of course, but it could definitely be a situation like 2012 Villopoto where he has a hard fought championship against some tough competition the year before and then comes in the next season and dominates.

Webb won 7 races last year. I don’t even know how many podiums he got. That doesn’t sound like he lucked his way into a title to me.
