What's the over/under for him pulling a crazy takeout move in the last turn? Whatever you do, RJ, don't try that shit on Anderson or Barcia.
“Fresh off wrist surgery”
They just took some hardware out, right? So we might see him after a couple rounds?
Regardless of your feelings on RJ's race craft, this adds even more elite speed depth. The first few rounds are at least going to be epic.

It will be interesting to see where he slots in. In the motos he doesn't wreck can he hang with a guy like AP?
Elite speed?
I’m not pro or anti rj but saying elite speed seems like a stretch for a guy with less than 5 overalls in the 250 class outdoors
I didnt hear he was missing any races. I thougt he was missing the whole summer at one point, so what do I know
he did win a heat on a 450 at Daytona , let the wrist & his fitness improve thru out the up coming weeks , he’ll show u
Am I crazy, I think he can fight for a 6-8 spot? He's not beating Hunter. I need to see JCoop. I dont think he can beat him either
That's more wins than a lot of the top 10 guys had in 250 MX. so yes elite speed.
He can totally beat Hunter and JCoop in a moto. Come on.
Ducking Hammaker. Soft.
RJ is very fast and is probably the most ballsy guy out there.
If he gets the starts ... I predict he'll try to hang it out to try to run with with the front runners at all costs.
I feel hunter is better overall but certain tracks yea I can see RJ getting the best of hunter & jcoop , RJ got some serious speed , its just his decision making & line choice late in the motos ( MX WISE ) tht holds him back some
Wow you said it good, also, not super relevant because this was years ago but RJ has gotten the best of Hunter and Justin multiple times in the past, just it’s not sustainable for an entire season
Hunter was really impressive last summer. I feel like people are sleeping on him
You never know how someone is going to transition to a 450. Its an exciting element to what already is looking like an amazing 450 class this summer. Lets fucking go!! Outdoors rules! Its so such better than sx. I cant wait
You seriously think he can beat Hunter, whose worst finish last year was 4th? RJ has 4 overall wins in 10 seasons.
Pit Row
RJ, Anderson, Barcia, locked in a battle for 7th place, could be the most entertaining moto anyone has ever seen.. the perfect split screen filler, you know there’s gonna be something replay worthy..
He could win if he shows up hungover again
Damn just when he was getting used to the 250
Yes, and then he'll crash, go back to the old folk's home, have a cocoa, then head back to the 250s...
No he won't. The guy is 65-years-old and has competed in over 2000 races on the 250. He seldom wins, but crashes all the time. He's not going to change on the 450. In fact it's even more likely he rides over his head and eats shit.
Yes, but what is his wins percentage? He was in the 250 class for over 50 years.
Context needed
He was hungover at the USGP in Florida when he waxed the field.
Well he for sure has to sit out the MXoN, but he's not missing any other races 😉
The guy hole-shots and leads every lap in a heat race at Daytona (the most MX, SX track there is) I think hell do just fine on the 450.
Way too much credit, this would be accurate if you had said they're battling for 9th place, all three crash each other out, and then come back and are locked in a battle for 13th place!
5 minute heat with half the field vs a 35 minute moto with everyone... big difference
