Tomac (and/or Rozcen) fans, as we know, the time when he retires is going to soon come.  Who do you move your fandom to? Personally I like having a main guy to root for, after James disappeared and before he "officially" retired I was a lost fan, nobody to cheer for until beast mode started showing up.  I thought maybe I'd jump ship to Jet, but for some reason the more time that passes the less likely I think that will be, Chase maybe? or do I put all my stock in a 250 guy?  Or jump on to a good dude like Plessinger even though the odds of him really winning championships is low?  Lots of guys going out the next 2-3 years I bet, anyways, who are you guys watching?

I'm a fan of most of the riders....I just want to see good racing, interesting tracks, fairness in application of the rules and nobody getting hurt. 

I usually root for the underdogs.      Someone like Justin Cooper.    ...and lately, Dylan Ferrandis.

Tomac is sweeping the three championships this year and coming back for more in 2025. Stamp it!

If he doesn’t. Then Sexton is my go to.

Me too. I'm not planning to be anybody's fan for about 10 years. Laughing

I'll stick with Jett until he gives me a reason not to.

I'm gonna watch this JuJu kid....see if I like him.

Serious answer, probably Hunter. I’m also an older brother so that probably has something to do with it Tongue

This is the correct answer (and Sexton too as WCRider said).

I didn’t really like Justin cooper but over the last couple years he seems to have a better personality and I really dig his style

 

also big fan of Ferrandis and CW is growing on me

Not sure why, but ever since Dungey retired, I haven’t really been a fan of any single rider. Just a fan of them all and the sport in general. Sexton would be my favorite rider right now if I had to pick one.

Dunge was awesome.   How could you not like this guy.    He was so great for the sport. 

Tomac grew on me, he used to be so uptight.  Digging how he completely changed when he went to Star.

I always rooted for Ken....but man, that dude can whine.

Been a fan of Webb for a long time....he's the "underdog" that everyone overlooks and he keeps on keepin on.

Sexton is sorta where Tomac was when he was at Kawi....seems too uptight. 

Plessenger....always root for him, but I don't think he's got the ability to be a title contender.  I hope I'm wrong.

I miss Marv.   He and Matilde are class acts.   Great for the sport. 

Wilson....he's gotten soft and whiney.     

Ferrandis... so jazzed to see him title in outdoors, always rooting for him.

Friese.....yeah....Vince.   The dude has the fire and don't give a f**k what anyone thinks.    Respect.

Filthy.... always entertaining and surprising. 

McElrath - Genuine good people. 

Barcia - Yuuuuuge fan.    Nobody can throw a bike like JB51. 

Anderson - meh....seems like kinda a dick....but what do I know.

I've been rooting for Sexton ever since his battle with Eli in 2022 outdoors. He reminds me a lot of early Kawi days Tomac... hyper-focused, wicked fast dude that hurts himself in championship races with inconsistency.

Deegan. 
I’ve disliked a lot of things he’s done on track and off. 
When he hucked that jump at Ironman I put those aside and became a fan.

I agree with most of that list but I think you need to give Deano some slack.  Anybody who takes a foot peg up the keester has earned the right to whine a little every now and then in my book.  Just sayin’.

I've been a fan of Barcia ever since his CR125 video. Balls to the wall riding style is fun to watch. As much as it pains me to say, I'm a Deegan fan for the same reason, I just enjoy watching him ride. I gotta cheer for the Hunter brothers being an aussie but I'm a fan of anyone who really just hangs it out

I like Tomac...  Been a fan since the Tomac/Barcia 250 days.  But my main 450 guy is Anderson.  And 250 guy is RJ.  So I'm going to have to find someone else soon too.  

Right now, I'm leaning towards Vialle and maybe Kitchen.  Probably Sexton on the 450...

I will need a couple years of mourning when Eli retires. I’ll most likely just be a fan of the racing in general and not a single rider.

I've been a fan of Dean and rooted for him for years, love his giveaways and GrandPa Earl deals.   He's just gotten a little whiney, that's all.

I do find it ironic & funny that majority of the ppl picking chase were the same 1s rooting against him vs Eli & then when Eli got hurt , penciled his title run as luckyness

I find it ironic and funny that magoofan calls out ken and dean for being whiney,and anderson for seeming like a dick.

Honestly there's very few people out there I don't root for and want to do well.

Kenny is the reason I'm into the American side of the sport as I had a bad (but no where near his) wrist break at the same he did and I started watching every race to see his comeback and then never stopped.

Like most people I've had a large amount of struggles in my life and I always root for people to get through theirs and find success. I want to see people rewarded for their hard work and dedication. I want AC to be healthy and get back up front, I want AP, Malcolm, DF etc to get that win. I want to see dudes sleep in a van and put it in a main event.

Honestly as an aussie and a lot of you know from my posting it's no surprise it's Jett and or Hunter.

I'd get so nervous back in the day watching Chad line up you could label me fan boy crazy but as an ex aussie racer and fan of the sport it's hard to explain. 

I guess for me is that in Australia there is literally zero coverage of the sport we love...we get stuff like Nick Kyrios 24/7 throwing a tantrum in the media (tennis) , or what Shane Warner ate for breakfast (cricket) it's all bat and ball sports over here and probs why the US fans MX find us  a bit nauseating at times.  We're literally chomping at the bit and when Aussies like Chad, Jett and Hunter come along it's the best thing ever for us.

Seriously if you can't stand the Lawrences then move to Australia.  You'll never hear of them again.
