250 East, stacked lineup!....

Anstie doing well should really come as no surprise. He has competed internationally well over a decade at all levels on a strong basis. His bike may hold him back a little.

All in for Forkner, hope he shows what he is capable of. It sounds like the training and riding have been going very well with Ryno and Charles Dao

Is Macadoos shoulder etc good? I feel like the guy is always injured right before the season begins 

Not only are we getting the best Austin ever but his fan base seems on point this year.

I think he might have lost a few fans with his "piling on" in the JA post.

But I do think he has to be the favorite heading into Detroit.

I don't think he wants those kind of fans anyway. Who are they to judge him when it comes to anything Jett.

I wonder how many fans Danger Deegan lost for his comments?

Not picking on you either. You are OK in my book.

With Lopes out the field is already thinning out

his comment sections after the Jett post was gnarly. Shit talking the mans wife, saying he’ll never win again, ect.

It's really cool that Jett is bringing new fans but his diehard fans are toxic asf. 

Austin honestly had a solid point but he just worded it poorly. Im sure he’s really appreciative of Jett actually apologizing, but he apologized like a 7 year old not a pro athlete. Thats all Austin was trying to say.

I still feel he has a chip on his shoulder. Did not ever see him being over it. Racers need motivation. If carrying that chip helps him beat Jett...

Look at the years gone bye. Lots of chips that mostly have gone away after the racing is done.

Well that blows for Lopes. I'm looking for a Deegan Forkner run away and thought Lopes was a guy that could compete for a win. 

He gained 1000 followers on instagram after that post! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. I would not have made that post, but that’s just me.

I think Deegan is playing opossum. 

If he podiums it worked. 

Is he going to fool everybody into letting him have a podium?

Yes

JMart last year was absolutely terrible.  Imo he was the worst rider of the year by a mile out of 250 or 450.  I really hope he is back on form this year .  

I'd love to see JS put his shiny new bike up on the podium. Should be some good bar-banging racing with all those 180 turns, but the track is very un-imaginative to say the least.

Did JMart not finish top 5 in sx ? I remember him and Deegan pretty close in a few races. He was horrible at the opening outdoor round before getting hurt. 

He was Terrible last year.  He got dropped by deegan in daytona . A race were He is normally excellent at . Maybe I have far higher expectations of J mart even in SX . 

I mean, Deegan certainly has left turns down O_O

looking forward to forkner v deegan   too very big ego's ......   my monies on deegan to win that battle thou...

Deegan , Macadoo and Vialle to finish top 3......not sure on the order.........

hoping for jett Reynolds to finish the season....

He was 4-6 in every race besides Atlanta where I think he had a DNF. I'm pretty sure he is 30 and was never that great at sx to start with. Would like to seem battle for podiums but not sure if that's possible for him this year. Hopefully he has a strong season and stays healthy.

There's always next year.
