Is Lopes really hurt ? I haven’t heard anything regarding that.
Ive heard that hes ''grappling with numbness in his hand''.
I was told he was and was going to miss a couple east races after being slated to ride west. But saw a video of him getting ready to go out yesterday on Star's IG. So who knows. The secrecy of injuries in this sport is kind of ridiculous.
I am really interested on how Lopes and Hymas will do.

I get it when it comes to stick and ball sports with game planning and such, but yea, in moto it makes no sense.
Hymas and Pierce Brown are the biggest question marks for me. Hymas had a solid half season last year before he dipped midway through. I expect him to be better but I’m not sure by how much. With Pierce, every year I expect him to take a big step up and become a consistent podium guy, but so far he’s only shown flashes of speed with lots of crashes. Cullin Park is another guy I expect to see some improvement from this year. Nothing crazy, but better than last year.
I have nothing to base it on but I feel like it's his year. If he stays healthy, which is a huge IF, nobody has his speed
I would love to see Forkner finally get a title. I'd love to see him on a 450 outdoors as well.
Im a huge AC fan but it seems like he may be done after this year or at least moving on. I bet Kawasaki would love nothing more than for Forkner to win this championship and make a perfect segway into the 450 seat next to Anderson.
I figure Prado will have that 2nd seat on the Kawi 450 next year.
I'm the exact same with Pierce. He has always been so fast, and I keep waiting for him to finally breakout and show what he can really do. I am once again hoping this is the year haha. To be fair though he has looked really good this off season. We know the practice track isn't the best tell but he does look good. Hymas, I think will surprise a lot of people and possibly be a constant podium guy. I personally also hope Anstie has a good year and quite a few people are saying he is looking much faster this year. I also just hope that everyone can make it through the season healthy and with no injuries.
Forkner wins the ship.

Seriously not stacked at all with main event winners if you take forkner and martin out you might have four sx wins total from all the other riders combined ..theres going to be alot of career best finishes for all the riders is what i see .Vialle no podiums last year deegan 3 podiums best finish was 3rd,,Hammacker 5 podiums Swoll 1 win 2 podiums ,Mcadoo 2 wins and a ton of podiums Lopes no podiums Brown 4 podiums Anstie 1 win 5 podiums Robertson 2 podiums ..I do believe theres going to be some really close racing for every position
Really close racing to me means stacked and deep. Does it not?
I just hope and pray that Forkener doesn't get winked again.
ENZO not on the list!!...
Pit Row
No
This is a big, big season for Pierce Brown. Perform or seek a non-factory ride for 2025?
Always thought they should have a pro 250 class and then east/west futures.
Look how hard it was to get off the gate straight, before 4t’s, start devices, metal grates, start maps etc.
I think he’d be better on a Japanese bike. I would love to see him get a shot on PC or Star.
I think we can all agree Martin's best days are behind him. Listening to an interview with him, he sounds "settled".
Yeah Martin just want to get trough sx healthy, race mx on a 450 then retire.
Retire? He signed a three year contract extension with ClubMX. He's with them through 2026.

Uhhh what? There is really close racing in the local C class every week, that does not mean it is stacked.
East looks notably tougher than west to me. I think Forkner and Deegan will be the top 2, but with a good start, I can see around 10 possible winners on that list. I think Dax will be a little less consistent, but will come out as an immediate contender.
I dig JMart, but I don't see him doing anything in SX.
Vialle - Swoll - Anstie - Deegan - Brown - Hammaker - Hymas - Bennick - McAdoo - Forkner - Farres all could have great results on a given night. Should see all of them on a podium at some point and more than half should win a race.
