The only one delusional here is how certain you think you are like your at the track every race 😂 calm down bud
Realistically none of us have any idea how it’ll pan out it’s racing , the only garanteed guys are the top3-4 usually and that’s if everyone’s healthy
Calm down? It's called bench racing dude....that's what this place is for...
If you can't handle a few facts and being called out for what I see as a pretty stupid opinion...this place probably ain't for you.
Not sure what being at the track has to do with it? I don't need to be there in person to know that Masterpool ain't gonna be a consistent top ten 450sx guy.
Save this thread and get back to me in May when I'm proved right
Serious question, are you new to the sport? That would explain the naivety in your opinion.
20 years in the industry and I’ve seen it all so I’m never surprised when the first place guys get last or vice versa , like I said it’s racing and anything can happen

Fair enough brother.
I too remember those times when a "last place guy" has won a 450sx....wait a minute, no I don't
It’s a figure of speech obviously
While I think that he won't finish around the same positions next year when everyone is healthy, I do agree with the fact that he looked way more comfortable and racy on the 450. He also gained weight and looked like he could go full motos this year. We have seen holeshots and speed from him on the 250, but he didn't look like he had any confidence at all and he was bascially gassed and got passed quick after a couple laps.
I sincerely do hope that he stays in the 450 class and never goes back. He definitely made some 450 outdoor races very exciting this year. Top 10 in SX next year? That's a tough task. But stay healthy, get consistent through every round and get some top 10 finishes by the end of the season and then attack outdoors is something I can definitely see from him.
From a rider that we weren't sure about how is career would go after he got out of Star because of his supercross issues to someone that we discuss about if he eventually finishes top 10 in the premier class is a pretty cool change and I hope he improves more and lands a factory ride eventually in the future.
I agree with lungbutter.
If the field stays relatively healthy some top guys are missing the top 10.
Tomac, jett, chase, webb and roczen top 5.
Then there's hunter, Anderson, barcia and ap.
That'd 9 and you still have j-coop, mookie, Craig, ac and ferrandis. Without something strange going on it's going to be hard for him.
I would think ty will be in more lcq's then he will top 10s.
I don't have any stats but I would not be surprised by midway through the SX season the rider attrition rate was 20% or higher.
No one is immune to injuries' and that can put a lot of guys in or out the top ten quickly.
Responding to an old thread because it popped up again. I heard someone ask about Mookie on PulpMX since he has been MIA on socials, I know Craig posted a clip probably a week or two ago of him and Malcolm riding at JS7 compound so he has been riding, not sure how much.
Yes, unfortunately I think you will see him not qualify for the mains more often than not if history is an indicator. I hope he does well because it's great to see, but I highly doubt he will be able to smell the top 10, much less finish there.
If you’re talking factory and ‘factory supported’ top tier guys like Roczen, etc., I’ll take the over on that 20%…..!
