My take on it is the obvious take. Barring unforeseen circumstances the two favorites have to be Tomac and Webb. Kenny may or may not make it a trifecta but we will see what he brings week in and week out. AC will be brilliant but likely continue to throw it away here and there. I'm really interested to watch Sexton and see how he goes. Osborne might be a regular player but I'm not sure he can really match Tomac in speed or Webb in racecraft. Marv will be great a lot of the time but I predict he will still be a bridesmaid at best. Ferrandis is coming in wounded so he is starting behind the eight ball. El Hombre will be fast as hell at times but then have some kind of issue that ultimately derails his championship hopes. Plessinger is a huge question mark to me. Malcolm and Barcia are going to be the most fun to watch. Bam Bam could yet have that season we have all been waiting for and Malcolm might just be a beast on the YZ. All I know is I can't wait for the series to start!

Lol. Accidentally hit submit on a blank post not intending to write anything, guess I have to do something now...

Most excited to see how 23, 9, and 14 fare. They will be fun to watch.

I wouldn't bet money on anybody for 2021. This could be the most talented group to ever race the 450 class

1. Tomac
2. Sexton
3. Roczen
4. AC
5. Mookie
6. Webb
7. Anderson
8. Osborne
9. Ferrandis
10. Barcia

Not a huge fan of any particular rider but whenever mook is in the top 4 or 5 at the beginning of a sx race, and I see him crushing the whoops....I cant help it, I want him to go to the front. 2021 is gunna be fun, cant wait!

Who in that list has a world title besides Roczen (250)?

Tomac, Webb and Anderson have. I guess he’s counting Roczen’s and Osbourne’s 450 nats to that list.

With the way Sexton rides it's not out of the realm of possibility though.

1. Tomac - predict a steady if unflashy title like Dungey in 2017
2. Webb - cannot afford to be in a hole early like last year
3. Ferrandis - IF he makes the first race, he will be the breakthrough
4. Cianciarulo - a few too many wild races
5. Barcia - on fire early but starts doing bambam things
6. Sexton - if anything this is too low. He could just as easily be 3rd
7. Musquin - underrated, has won a lot of SX
8. Osborne - not the same threat indoors
9. Roczen - will win some, but plagued with same issues
10. Anderson - questions about his commitment

All of this is will be wrong, assumes no injuries.

3 of these 6 will be in top 10, no idea which: McElrath, Tickle, Brayton, Stewart, Wilson, Savatgy.

Baggett might be a fill-in guy that wins a race.

I think a massive sleeper is Savatgy. Iv noticed barely anyone has him in the top 10 but id put money on him finishing around 4th - 8th for alot of races this year. He's on a new bike that has won before and its pretty much make or break season for him. If he doesnt deliver lots of top 10's and a few top 5's his career is finished.

This guy gets it.

Except with AP. He will be top 15 guy on top 10 bubble. That's just where hes at and it's ok.

In supercross? Not a chance. Outdoors, maybe, but definitely not SX.

Herlings is amazing on a SX track. With his good starts he'd for sure win.

I wish they had betting on SX at the sports books in Vegas, it would be hard setting those odds!

1. Osbourne
2. Webb
3. Barcia
4. Musquin
5. Tomac
6. Savagty
7. AC
8. Anderson
9. Sexton
10. Roczen

I wasn't looking at a list this was just off the top of my head and all I can say is its definitely Gonna be interesting!

Roczen had 4 wins an won the 3rd to last round and everyone is acting like hes gonna be a 5-10 place guy. All it takes is a dnf or crash from weeb an tomac in 21 an there isn't anyone else proven that can beat roczen consistently. Look at the mistakes from tomac in 17, 18, an 19. Injuries take guys out every year.

If Herlings lined up at H1 I’d bet he’d miss the main by a handful of spots.

Doesn’t mean he’s not the best dude outside though

Lol Tim Gajser got like 5th O/A at the monster cup in his second ever american sx event. Its not as though the euros dont know how to ride dirt bikes technically. Herlings would be one of the top guys in sx if he wanted to practice and test.

5th at a MEC where Vince Friese got 4th. Sorry, very few top guys were there in 2019 so 5th doesn't really say much.
