If you look at the entry list, it's remarkable the number of guys that could win a moto...  I'm counting 11.  250 field is DEEP.

Question, who was the last world champ to come over to the US and win a Pro Motocross title in their first attempt?

No one. History is not on Vialle's side, that's for sure. Roczen finished 4 his first year in the US after his world MX2 title.

I just wanna see Sushi Joe put Hunter on the ground a few times this year. 

 

Kamikaze Joe or Washing Machine Charlie. Some of you older moto heads out there might remember the name of "Washing Machine Charlie" from McHale's Navy.

The kid has 2 MX2 titles and 24 MX2 overall wins, and he's raced in all sorts of conditions worldwide. What we call "rough" isn't going to faze him as much as people think. Hunter is fast but he has 1 overall win in 2 years. Justin Cooper has 4 wins, and Jo has yet to win. 

I know it's not the popular pick but, if KTM can build him a competitive 250 like he had in MX2, I think he'll be hard to beat.

He wasn't a champion but he won our title in 1973. Pierre Karsmakers on a factory Yamaha.

My gut tells me that Realistically it will be Cooper or Hunter winning it, but my heart wants Shimoda to take it! 

He'd break the Pro Circuit dry spell and who wouldn't love to see Jo be successful like that?

I feel like too many people have Deegan pegged at 5th-10th... I think he's going to be better than that. Believe the hype.

You need to start a new poll now that round 1 is complete, and I would include Deegan this time. He walked on some of those in your list.

Six months ago I would have called you an idiot if you even brought up Deegan. After this past sx season and seeing the first round of the mx season, I'm saying anyone who doesn't include Deegan in the conversation is an idiot. He literally gets better by the race and he is fit as f
