I also think Kyle Chisholm can do it!

I'm sorry, but I think Kyle's chances of a podium are past.

Yes, he's a solid racer, but top ten at his very best. There are 10 other faster, younger riders ahead of him.

Max Anstie will rock, and Ken everybody wants to see him do well.

Eli will be spot on from the first race, good luck to all.

Would love to see Colt get a few, and cool to see so many people saying similar. Taken a hard road to where he is and has some real talent and sure has some determination.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Anderson, AC, Mookie, Barcia, Roczen, Tomac, Webb, even Ferrandis or Craig pick up an A1 win, in no kind of order. It's a good place to be as a fan watching races isn't it 🙂

Filthy on the little bike and Marshall Welton on the big bike. You did say surprise. Right? A true surprise to me is anybody who hasn't won before.

Justin Hill tops first practice, runs up front in his heat.

Ferrandis 

Ferrandis will be a legit title contender in 23.

For a surprise pick, hope it’s Colt. Hope he wins or podiums.
Would also love to see El Hombre or Webb win 450, and Forkner or RJ win 250.

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Kroc take A1 then fade like usual for whatever reason. 

As far as season goes...fk it. I'm going all green.

Anderson 450.  Forkner 250W. Shimoda 250E.   Get PC back to it's winning ways. And yes I'm supremely biased.

Hey, dumbass, here's the entire list of finishing positions for Justin Hill in his last full season:

Lot of guys in here thinking Colt can do it.  I had him more pegged as a 10th place guy.  It would  be cool if I am wrong.

I wouldn’t put him in the c-ship talk, but if everything goes right, I could see him finishing the season with a podium or two.

Surprise?  I say Colt.  But would be fun to have someone even less expected, like McElrath.

Hi Justin, Nice of YOU to reply.  What year was your last full season of SX that you completed again? (I'm not questioning your ability to throw down a fast lap, just your work ethic)  Regards and best of luck in '23

Tomac would be a surprise.  Maybe this is the year he finally does it. 

Tomac will ride for points at a1. He has the big #1, and has matured emough to not get caught up in the a1 hype, and that it is a long series.

Big surprise will be colt Nichols.

I don't think anyone should be surprised if he wins A1. It's his performance as the season wears on that comes into question.

Im rooting for him to get it done this year.
