We are a few weeks away from the A1 opener and we don't know how lap times are going in the hills of Corona, CA?

How's the defending champion going with the New KTM? Will the softer alloy frame help him in his quest to have the #1 back in 2025?

How's Eli redemption? After the heartbreak of last year, Eli, already in the final chapters of his career, wants to leave on top.

Jett aleady proved last year that despite being only 19, his name is already in the motocross history books, there's only one major title he hasn't won in his short career, the 450SX title, if he does, he would have won every major SX/MX/SMX title there is to win in AMA Racing, at the young age of 20.

How is the defending MXGP Champion figuring out the whoops? Will his outdoor racing excellence translate to Supercross racing?

Kawasaki had a winless season last year, but this year they've got a new bike that looked really good on Febvre's hand last year, will the 24' Kawasaki bring the 22' Anderson?

Webb is back to the Team that saw him grow, will he add another title to the Star rig after the 3 250 titles he gave them?

How's Malcom going, is finally going to put everything toghether and win? Will his brother be on the booth to comentate such an extraordinary feat?

How are the Beta's going? BamBam Barcia? So many storylines coming to A1, I don't know about you guys but I cannot wait for the start of the season! Bring on A1😀

Either Wilson got faster (not likely), or Webb doesn't try during the week. Webb wasn't getting away from him at all on Wilson's recent video with the Star Team.

Me too. He’s my upset pick at A1. He’s due too

 

From the footage I’ve seen, Kitchen looks good too. It’s hard to tell on smooth tracks which most of these videos feature.

I’d expect Wilson to be in form and have some renewed confidence after racing the off season, and Webb is renowned for not giving it 100% at the practice track, but shows up when the gate drops. So likely a bit of both imo.

Do I remember right that Webb said that was the biggest thing working with Aldon did, making him push during practice?

That’s how I remember it, that and he hasn’t really fit when he was at Yamaha.

Coming into the season with a pregnant wife, then becoming a new dad halfway through seemed to weigh him down a bit last season. Now that he's into the dad routine, I suspect we'll see some good results out of Jason this year.

Everyone is fast at the tracks they ride all off season and have thousands of laps on. test track gods like Craig Jmart Malcolm are always flying every year. Look at Craig in 2021 flying at the test track smoking his teammates and then Nichols shows up to the races and gets it done.

Hard to take much from those videos but I have thought the same thing to myself after watching some of them. I feel like especially at Star with so many guys riding everyday, somedays aren't great while others are. If you watch say Deegan videos then Deano, different days different Star guys seem to be a lot better than the prior day.

Webb has been know to just do what’s needed during the week. Remember hearing Aldon say something about that. Aldon would get on him and i bet he can be a push over on Swanny

How's the defending champion going with the New KTM? Will the softer alloy frame help him in his quest to have the #1 back in 2025?

Rumor has it he's not that comfortable with the KTM and is having troubles settling it in the whoops. If you mean getting the championship in 2024, then no. 

How's Eli redemption? After the heartbreak of last year, Eli, already in the final chapters of his career, wants to leave on top.

Eli doesn't have the top end speed to keep up with Jett, or Sexton.  He may get some wins through steady attrition type riding. 

How is the defending MXGP Champion figuring out the whoops? Will his outdoor racing excellence translate to Supercross racing?

I think he'll look okay but struggle against the heavy hitters in this class. He'll get better though.

Kawasaki had a winless season last year, but this year they've got a new bike that looked really good on Febvre's hand last year, will the 24' Kawasaki bring the 22' Anderson?

No.

Webb is back to the Team that saw him grow, will he add another title to the Star rig after the 3 250 titles he gave them?

He won't win any races this season.

How's Malcolm going, is finally going to put everything together and win? Will his brother be on the booth to commentate such an extraordinary feat?

Possibly.  I think Stew will team up with RC for the odd supercross. 

How are the Beta's going? BamBam Barcia? 

Reading between the lines in interviews with Colt 45 it seems the bike has a long way to go. Barcia will be Barcia.

I thought alot of the beef was Webb was the #1 guy and therefore was paying Aldon the most. And he was like "why am I paying all this money and helping other riders by letting them ride with me?" 

 

or something along those lines

More referring to when Webb first moved from Factory Yamaha to KTM. Baker and Webb himself, both said he wasn’t fully fit previously and didn’t push during practice.
Remember Webb was supposed to be the next big thing at the time and Yami were paying good money, but even veteran Reed had better results on the factory 450. Yami had to be pissed when he went to KTM, got fit and started producing results. The bike was better too, but no excuses.

You really can't trust your eyeballs when watching these videos. Why? Jett always looks slow on TV but we all know he is hauling the most ass.
