Villopoto retired at 26, Dungey at 27. Over half of the factory team rosters are older than that now. People are sticking around longer than they did over the previous decades.
I don't think it's a bad thing. IMO, if most of the guys I listed were retired, both classes would be looking bleak.
Don't forget the MX1 champ!
Glover was robbed for that title. I think ward rode backwards on the track at one race.

Sorry you have to miss some of the best racing because the elite riders aren’t in the moto…
I see your point, but you are being generous. Five of your eleven potential have yet to win a main, and Jett will not add to the total number of winners - he will just take a former winners place. Three winners this year, maybe five in seventeen rounds. 1985 has eight winners in eleven rounds, for 2024 to equal that competitiveness there would have to be eleven different winners in the seventeen rounds.
They may not make the mains the first few rounds, but chances are good they will still make a lot of mains once riders start getting injured. Surely everyone knows this, it happens most seasons.
It’s been good to not see a bunch of headlines of riders dropping like flies before a1. If we can get everyone to stay healthy for the next two weeks a1 is going to be incredible.
Well he was like 16-17 when he came over here
I think a lot of the older guys just like to ride and race. In all of his interviews, Tomac sounded like he just wanted to get back out there and mix it up, and was pumped to still have an opportunity to race with Jett and the others.
Yes, it will.
Bogle will clean up over here racing arenacross.

Oh look, another 'new' guy coming in hot with all the worst takes.
You missed Aaron Tanti who rides for the Partzilla PRMX Kawasaki Team.
Again, the field is stacked.
I think Webb is pretty much done in terms of winning races. He can't match the speed of the new breed, is on a new bike, and is probably still relatively out of shape.
I've not looked into it, but it looks like it could be. I reckon it's a function of riders living in the 250 class for ever, plus better nutrition, training and so on allowing 450 riders to extend their careers.
Excited for the new season and the most interesting aspect will be the pecking order. Generally In SX you see a double pyramid setup. This year will be different and the positioning is more blurred than ever. Talent is meeting tenacity, and Mr Miagi
Pit Row
No.
I dunno…you’re tossing out one of the few riders that won last year…and on a bike he HATED…plus took 2nd SIX TIMES…finished 3rd over-all in 2023 and seems to like his new team and bike…?
These things are always relative. Anyone on the gate could theoretically win a race - provided all the people that are better than them weren't there. You could have 22 supercross champions on the gate (a deep field) but it would still be two or three winning all the races with a maximum of two random winners thrown in. I think a field is deep when there are a lot of great riders on the gate - like this year - rather than on how many could potentially win a race. An example of a weak field was the tail end of the 23 season. It seemed that local C riders on quads were getting into the mains by the end of the season.
I am of belief that Cooper will not win a race as well. Here is my thoughts on it….
Cooper apparently did not like the Ktm snd yes he won a race and we know what happened. But speed is largest enemy and we now have a few more players that are just as consistent as him with more speed. So in my eyes he simply will not be a title threat nor a race win threat. Another to look at is Sexton and the ktm. I look forward to watching all of the small things play out. If I am right or wrong it does not matter. I am a fan either way 😎
I have no clue how the season will turning out but I m confident with the fact that AP gonna win a race. I will pray for this to help.
Rough end of the year for me. I really need my SX medecine back ASAP.
.
I still think Jett and chase will be in a league of there own with Jett being slightly faster. I know one thing, it will be almost impossible to crash first turn and make the podium. You would have to pass a lot of champions. That’s really what I mean by deep field. I didn’t mean a few guys wouldn’t separate themselves.
Can you list the name of the local C quad guys? Such a terrible take when any of these guys would clean up at a non-ama pro super cross yet you want to for some reason try to belittle their skills 🙄
This is true.
Think about the potential chaos in a LCQ if Friese is in there.
Lot of privateers lately have said they go 450 because it pays better. If guys keep staying in it longer like this that will stop being true and I think we'll see a lot more privateers staying in 250 and overall less room for younger talent that isn't in factory team pipeline.
There is also the cost factor of building a competitive 250 which makes the decision to go 450 much easier.
Exactly. Anybody making an SX main will destroy the absolute fastest local guys at any track. You should see how fast a guy like Josh Cartwright is for example at a normal track against "A" riders.
