Drew went form being tiny to being massive also. I was shocked when I saw him at Denver. I know weight isn't as much of a factor in 250s nowadays but he's gotta be at least 180-190lbs.

How tall is he? Gotta think he's still growing too

I’m hoping he’s one of the breakout riders of the season, around the Top 5 a lot, battling for podiums, wouldn’t even be surprised if he was in the mix for a moto win at some point.

Anyone going to Unadilla may want to post up around Sky Shot when Drew's on the track. The kid can whip the hell out of a dirt bike.

As soon as I get through the entrance I walk straight to the skyshot for practice whips

Casey Cochran and Drew Adams are crazy talented sleepers coming into this season, especially as the season goes on

Good call on Cochran! Theres a lot of talent in the 250's. You could see guys getting 4-12 scores depending on their starts

I got my fingers crossed for Drew. If all goes to plan we will have a Haiden sized hole in the 250 class in 26 and it would be cool for someone like Drew to fill it. I want to see a PC bike upfront and winning regular again! He needs to make all 11 rounds, consistently in the top 10, a few top 5's and a podium or 2 in moto's and I'll be legit excited for the kid next season.

I’m on the Adams wagon but I think to say you “wouldn’t be surprised” if he won a moto is putting a pretty high expectation on this kid. That’s a tall order. If he comes out and wins a moto against this crop, I will be surprised. Not because I think he’s a shit rider but that is a huge feat. I will be equally surprised and excited if he cracks the top 3.

At least 6’. That’s my height and when I saw him at Anaheim 2 in the pits, felt like we were about equal height. If he’s grown more since then, gotta be over 6’

Yeah its no knock against Drew to say he probably cant win a moto this year. I really think the days of guys coming in and wonning as a rookie like RC, Stew, or RV are over. As a rookie you're going up against guys who are uber prepared now. Everyone has a trainer and a riding coach. Flawless technique with a bottomless gas tank to go two 35min motos, 10-15 dudes. Plus he would have to beat Hairen Deegan to win a moto. Look at the last two great talents we've seen in recent years, Jett and Haiden. Jett won one moto all season and had to beat Ferrandis, an absolute unit on a 250. Haiden won two motos and had to beat Hunter, also an amazing dominant 250 guy.

I learned not too long ago that there’s a very fringe group of Bobby Bonds fans online that still get viscous over this and swear that GL ruined the career of one of the next all timers. 

He was seriously fast, I saw him ride in person once on a CR125, and he looked amazing. Just shows how speed isn't always enough.

 

With Adams,  he's a big kid, but the PC bikes are fast.

I think the GL moment was a huge moment to derail Bobby's career.  He was owned and it was super dirty.  

 

GL is a cool guy and fierce competitor but that was brutal.  GL owned him.

 

Another moment changing a riders career was when Tomac parked Dean Wilson on 250's and wrecked his shoulder.  It started a wave of chronic injuries for him but not all Eli's fault, he just owned him too.

I know and I understand this gets said every year, but it’s ridiculous how much talent is in the 250 class, guys could fight for a 14th one Moto and then podium the next
