He has arrived. Top SX rider now.
A great personality when the mic is on, I appreciate his professionalism and positive approach.
If he figures out how these championships are won...he may win a couple of them

I agree, he is def a crowd favorite and his personality has a lot to do with that. All of his interviews you hear the crowd going crazy. I see a win coming soon

At his age, i doubt that he will take any championships other than his old 250 sx title.

He just lacks te race craft to be there all the way.

Doing the work and it’s showing. He’s always had the speed. Hopefully he can get up front early one these races. I legit can’t wait to see him outdoors.

Top SX rider now, but hasn’t won a race yet in his 450 career…I’m not sure I understand the logic?

No, but you can see he has emerged as one of the top guys. He is qualifying first, he is winning heat races..

It’ll be tough with Eli, but I think his chances of winning a 450 race are highest they’ve been in his career..And he expects to win..big confidence change.

29 year old with zero 450 race wins has a solid chance of winning multiple titles. O.K.

He's been consistently fast which is great to see. I'd like to see him win but he needs to handle the pressure of being up front first.

Best chance ever for him to win a main, since

Tomac does not have to win a race the rest of the season.

Similar to his build up of becoming a 250 champion when he took it serious at gieco. each year he was building quick

And after his temper tantrum at Daytona when he drove him self and Anderson in to the ground because he ”thought” that Ando hit him, this just proves that at his age, he still is a really unmature racer.

Fan favorite or not, Malcom will NEVER win a 450 title as long as he has to battle with riders that are smarter than him..

He might not be a top SX rider, but he’s definitely in the top 3..

(How much more ‘too’ does he need to be to convince you?)

"unmature" lmao.



Really thought he could have battled for the win in Daytona before all of the drama.

How many top level guys haven't won an SX title? A bunch. Malcolm is no longer a bubble guy, he can win. Hope he does.

He should have some opportunities to win coming up. Last night was one. You have Anderson, Webb, Sexton, Ferandis, all out.

Agreed
Once Tomac backs it down a notch to mail it in, the Mookster will get his first win. But to beat a Beast Mode Tomac?....It aint happening.

The only guys who have been consistently faster than him this season have been Anderson, Tomac , and Sexton . He's had Ferrandis and Webb for the most part covered. He definitely had podium speed last night regardless of who was out there. I'd love to see him get a win .

Love me some Malcolm. I hope that when he does get a win, he can finally figure out a way to thank his sponsors.

He can't thank them. He already said so. I don't know if it's a contractual thing or what, but he can't.

+3. Similar thoughts about Mookie. His best chance on getting a win this season has gone up. If ET3 mails it in the 2nd half of the season & also decides to save the Beast mode button for MX.
I’ll be rooting for him to get his 1st win at Indy next week.

I am impressed how much Mookie has improved this year. How the race was unfolding, anything can happen in supercross and usually does. Maybe a win was in his cards last night. However Tomac, Yamaha prevailed. I believe if everything lines up for Mookie he will score a win 2022. Biggest improvement in 2022.

Odds look good for Mookie to get a win.

Looks like working with Aldon does work for many riders...at least for a while.

It's vital, there is no logic here....or political discussion. He's definitely made some improvements, and may very well be on his way to becoming a top tier sx rider, only time will tell.
But 3 or 4 career podiums isn't exactly elite in my estimation, especially when compared to the accomplishments of the current 450 riders.

Big James said on occasion that Mookie was more talented than James, but not as driven about MX. James was simply so driven at a young age and developed his skills to the elite level (and beyond) at such a young age. Mookie was not as into it...and it took him a while to be all in on his dirt bike career.

BS that he had more talent then James. James did shit on bike that very few could do as well. Mookie has talent for sure but has to work 200 times harder then James.

I understand Mookie Fever can cause a momentary lapse of judgement but I think it’s a bit eager of you to claim he has multiple championships in-bound considering he’s yet to win a 450 main.

I do agree that Aldon has got him to where he needed to be physically and he’s finally showing his true potential and I can see him getting a fair main event win. But championships alone are not easy to come by, let alone multiple championships, especially when the rider is getting long in the tooth.

I understand this is a Mookie Hype thread and don’t want to be a downer so I will say if he keeps it upright and heathy this year, and keeps up this pace, there’s no reason I would doubt him as a title contender next year. But you gotta take it step by step and walk before you run. He’s getting used to what running up front feels like in the 450 class but becoming a champion doesn’t happen overnight. I’m excited to see him on an outdoor track again!
