Makes you wonder after Eli being out if he wishes he would have stuck with Pro Motocross instead.

Roczen is phenomenal at Motocross and a 2 time champ. He's finally healthy enough to finish a season. 

I don't think he's ducking but the last couple weeks injury list have made it to where him and his team could rack up some more wins/podiums than they probably could've a couple months ago for outdoors. 

 

Eli is a clear favorite for the title. That's pretty cut and dry why Eli being out could factor into that decision.

Yeah but with Coop out of WSX, who's gonna even challenge Roczen there? He'll rack up plenty of wins/podiums in that series and likely win the championship again. More money, less racing and less competition in WSX. Kind of a no brainer why he'd pick that instead, as frustrating as that may be as a fan/viewer.

Regardless, we should still have a great championship battle this summer outdoors between Chase, Dylan and Jett so at least one of these series should be exciting week in and week out.

When you say more money do you mind sharing the dollar amount? 

 

Say he raced outdoors and got let's say 3 wins and 2nd in points with 8 podiums. Could you compare that money to the more money you're saying he'll make in WSX? 

 

Me personally I have no idea what money he's making for WSX this year and payout structures but Pro Motocross factory bonuses are still pretty high for wins and podiums as well as overall points. 

 

More AMA points will also start him out with more points for SMX playoffs which in return could yield a bigger payout from the 1 million dollar purse.

I don’t understand the negativity around WSX. It’s giving more riders ways to make a living riding a dirtbike. 

That’s NEVER a bad thing!

I’m sure Astephen could get him out if Kenny wanted to.

Just pull a Colt Nichols and you’ll be good….

Not the same thing. Kenny is being paid by the series to be there. Colt just quit the team

Just seen a rider announcement from WSX, anyone know what team Colts riding for? I think I can guess the rest.

The CDR Yamaha Monster Energy Team hasn't announced any of their riders yet, so I left them off the list.

SX2 looking like it might be more interesting to watch.

Not sure what everyone is complaining about, looks like another good SX series to watch to me.

Some top tier guys, some big name retirees, and some excellent racers in-between.

Yeah tbh, this year is shaping up to be pretty solid. If we get 6 rounds of this lineup, we'll be in for some good racing. 

It would be cool to see one more rider with speed to match Kenny make it, but that's a tall order as there are only a handful on the planet that exist. 

The group just behind him of Joey, Dean, JB, Colt, and both Hill bros will be really good battles I think. That's a solid 2-8 group of riders for year two of a series. 

SX2 looks fun too, lots of fast guys. The top 5 will be speedy with Max, Enzo, Shane, in the mix.

Personally I can’t wait to see Brayton and whoever else battling for 2nd place behind the Kenny exhibition.  Farce.

Don't blame WSX; they are helping raise the sport by ensuring there is a fully professional alternative to Outdoors that pays living money and doesn't grind the lesser riders to dust.

It's not all about selfish Vitard spectators for MX. I'm not hearing ANY riders bag WSX as a bad idea.
