The first round of the 2025 season is in the books and I continue to fail at following my own advice. I had a solid team picked out, very rational...then I freaked out at qualifying times, changed my team and failed miserably. Anyways, moving on from my continuous failures in life. Ultimately, the winning team was a 15-man team, belonging to richter28 and locking in 163 points. The winning team this week averaged $6,104 spent per point...
I managed a terrible 93 points across 11 riders, meaning I paid $10,526 for every point my team earned.
Here's A1's winning team:
The San Diego round will open for picks on Wednesday, I will also announce the prizes for San Diego that same day. We're rotating weekly prizes this year at each round and we have some really cool ones coming up!
Also, here are the prize winners from week one
1st place: FXR Podium series jersey and pants - richter28
2nd place: Race Tech Free Revalve Certificate, with hat and socks. - hh187
3rd place: Set of Dunlop moto tires - TheWeapon
4th place: Mika Metals handlebars and grips combo - SWVoffroad.com
5th place: DeCal Works backgrounds - cse
6th place: FMF Snapback hat and socks - kingmcgrath (top finisher in the MotoXpod league)
7th place: Eagle Grit hand cleaner - Moscow_Motocross
Picking mid packers and back markers seems like a good strategy that can pay off points wise. I picked a 7 man team and ended up with
116 points and ended up in 471 place.
Damnit I need to win some RaceTech goodies but I suck at fantasy
Don't feel too bad ML, you got 2 more points than I did... I got samoked 😑. New strategy for San Diego
I did ok on the night and would have been much better had Breece not taken Ferrandis in the LCQ. Came in 50th overall for the evening. I'll take it.

played for the first time this year. if you don't spend your entire budget does it roll over to the following weekend?
No it doesn’t.
I'm about as good at fantasy as I am at trying to figure out how to print a screen shot of my team on my laptop. I gave up after two you tube videos and multiple attempts. Fuckin bitch being old and computer stupid what can I say... 🙂 I had 14 riders and scored 108 points for 736th place. There goes my perfect season lol.

I had both winners plus Eli and Deegan. My mid packers burned me good. I got Chissed…….102 pts
The other rider I had was cole davies, I believe I got 14 points from him. Completely forgot Levi and Forkner weren’t racing. Didn’t change my picks because I was busy watching quali and taking pictures during quali.
Got burned by Ferrandis, and took a flyer on Reynolds and he burned me - would have been in the Top 100s easily. On to San Diego 👊
Nice!!
I'm totally stoked to win 3rd place and a set of tyres, but the cost of shipping them to Australia would be prohibitively expensive....
Does anyone know of any struggling privateer out there trying to qualify who could use a set of free tyres?
Bloss hurt me...
Much like ML512, I changed my team after qualy and it cost me 18 points…
Total fail.
Now that's a cool gesture. Want me to go hunting in the pits for a worthy soul this weekend?
Yeah, please do! Thanks man!
"The San Diego round will open for picks on Wednesday" I must be getting old I thought today was Wednesday.....
😆😆 just messin with ya lol. Hey TheWeapon that's a class move you're going to make some guys day 👍
How do you determine who wins the two ties below?
He never said which Wednesday!
ML512, I hope you are feeling better.
Pit Row
Entry time. Our system records what time you put your team in. So the first person to enter that team wins in a tiebreaker.
For example, if user 1 puts his team in on Friday at 8am, but user 2 puts in the same team (or a team with an identical score) in at 10am on the same day, user 1 will win the tiebreak.
Wow, my first time trying this and I am not good. 😂
How'd you go finding a privateer in need of tyres? Hopefully you found someone who could use the help
My fantasy season so far has been pretty dismal, I'm great at picking people who dnf or dnq.
We're in a mid pack race!
