Its time. While nobody has any real information. Look deeply into some high polished hubs and lets hear what you see playing out in 2026!
Ill go...
250SX
Cole Davies goes undefeated on the opposite coast from Deegan (calling east coast for him). Hammaker is solid 2nd. 3rd back is way off those 2's pace.
Deegs, Shimoda, and JuJu split up wins and it comes down to the wire on west coast. Forkner ends up 3rd in the series and p1 in a quali.
450SX
Jett - Duh title winner
Hunter- gets 2 legit wins over jett.
Tomac gets a few wins on the KTM,
Prado's fast on the KTM again, but whoop struggles hold him back. He pushes and has speed.
Chase is back to losing the front on the kawi. I dont want this, but i think its gonna be a struggle on green just like it was on red.
250 outdoor:
Shimoda and Hammy dominate. Comes down to the wire with jo show being stone cold winning the title.
450 outdoor.
Jett gets another perfect season.
Party Pack 1: RJ, Hunta, Jett, Tomac, Prado in the front
Party Pack 2: AP, Roczen, Chase, Ferrandis, Deegz rounding out the second group.
Lets hear your predictions!
I predict it’s going to be a looooong offseason
I will be really surprised if JuJu races SX. He just broke 3 vertebrae in his back two weeks ago. I hope he fully recovers. He is a classy guy.
forgot about that. Shi...
Well, hubs don't lie.
.
So you're not even gonna mention the reigning, defending, 3X 450 SX champ? Right.
450SX
Jett dominates, but Webb keeps him honest. Chase gets wins and is fast on the Kawi, but does some dumb stuff. Hunter gets a win or two. Eli fades even more. JCoop and/or AP sneaks in a win.
250SX
Deegs wins his coast a race early.
Davies dominates races, but is inconsistent and barely gets the championship.
Hammaker is a factor and gets wins
450 outdoor
Jett dominates but gets hurt (sorry for the bad juju, but he hasnt made it through both series), Hunter & Chase duke it out. AP is dark horse. Haiden gets an overall, maybe 2 and top 5 in the championship. Prado runs top 5 here and there, something about horsepower, wait no suspensi...make that chassis...calls it early
250 Outdoor
Hammaker gets a huge lead, Joe makes a late season charge and wins it.
SuperMotocross
Meh whatever

If I’m being completely honest, I think a healthy Jett mops the floor with healthy Webb in SX. I’m not saying put an asterisk next to Webb’s 25’ title, but if Jett doesn’t get hurt, I don’t see Webb squeezing by.
For 2026, if Jett can stay healthy, he wins. I don’t think is he’s lost a 450 championship without an injury (someone fact check?)
Jett has a 2022 Tomac season: Winning the 450SX title, 450MX title, 450SMX title and MXoN title.
450 SX
Jett wins 8+ races and wraps things up at least one race early.
Chase and Coop win 3-5 between them. Too many 5-10 finishes from Chase, and too many 3-5 finishes from Coop prevent them from keeping Jett honest.
Hunter ends up 2nd in the series.
Hunter or JCoop gets the feel good win for the season.
Tomac wins 1-2 but can't get off the line consistently. KTM shock fade issues don't get resolved and he falls off late in the mains.
Prado quits or exits early with injury.
250 SX
Haiden wins west. Joe or Seth beats Davies for a title at the last round.
450 MX
Jett wins 14+ motos and wraps two races early. Hunter second again with some wins.
The draft dodger wins a couple motos and tries to play head games with the front runners. It bites him in the ass and he takes too many assisted soil samples to really contend for anything. Ends up 4-5 at the end of the season. Chase and Tomac are the only other moto / overall winners.
250 MX
Joe wins the title over Hymas. Drew Adams and Dudney have breakout rides.
Prado, Sexton and Tomac will battle for race wins all year on their new bikes.
Jett and Hunter will struggle with bike setup all year long and not get a single holeshot. (haha yeah no)
AJ Catanzaro will surprisingly line up on a factory bike and win races.
Webb will get the fastest qualifying lap every weekend but struggle in the mains.
Kenny will win his first SX 450 title without winning a race.
Anstie and Shock dominating their 250 SX regions, also not crashing once.
RC and Diffey will impress in the booth.
Nailed it.
Deegs gets arrested
Again
I'll give you guys some more general predictions, based on a historical worldview:
-Barring injury, Jett will wipe the floor with everyone. He is the #1 threat to win any race at any location in any subgenre.
-Hunter will solidify his #2 ranking, right behind Jett.
-(Unpopular opinion; cue the downvotes) Tomac will have trouble adjusting to the KTM. He may show flashes of brilliance outdoors and even win a race or two, but he'll have a bummer season and may retire at the end of it. KTM is where Broc Glover's career went to die and I feel the same about Eli. I hope I'm wrong, but I see the writing on the wall.
-Webb will be a consistent threat in Supercross, but his speed will be outweighed by Hunter at most events.
-Sexton will be hot and cold. There will be races when he is faster than anybody, but he will struggle with consistency. The Kawasaki won't fix what's between his ears.
-Anderson will be better on the 10,000 year-old relic by the company that is going out of business than he was last year on the Kawasaki.
-Roczen will stay competitive and may win a Supercross.
-J Cooper will be a silent, consistent threat to anyone who doesn't put in allll the work. This will be a make or break year for him; he'll win one and back it up a few times later in his career or end up outside the top 5 forevermore.
-Deegan will probably win whatever coast 250SX championship he contends and will race a 450SX or two on the opposite coast. He will be good but not great. He'll come out swinging in 450MX and piss some people off. He'll look ridiculously fast, but be inconsistent and fall outside the top 10 many motos.
