2026 champ without Jett

If you're looking at the statistics, Webb 

No option for Forkner? Remember he trained with Ryno….just sayin…

Roczen

I WANT TO BELIEEEVE

Did you really put “Cooper” twice (CW2 & JC32) in your poll? Lol silly poll. 

I've got to go with Webb, the 3x 450 champ.

If he swaps back to the 25 frame, he's my pick. I'm honestly torn between Sexton, Webb, and Hunter. I want Eli or Roczen to win, but I just have a feeling they won't be there every weekend.

Statistically, Webb has had very poor results the season after each of his championships. 

Would be real cool to see Hunter grab it, as much as it sux for Jett, this is quite exciting for the series, there are 4 guys that I wouldn’t be surprised to see wrap up the title 

People are really letting outdoor hunter confuse them about indoor hunter. He's got two career sx podiums on a 450..... going to have to make quite a leap to be contending for a title. 

Hunter’ll take it.

I would like to see Sexton win it, with Eli second, but I doubt that will happen.

Yep, I’ve got 4 in the points chase and Hunter isn’t one of them…. He’s battling Mookie for 5th.  Hunter will have flashes of brilliance, but he’s not consistent indoors…. Could that change?  Sure, but we haven’t seen it yet.

Same bro. A Suzuki championship may finally bring us electric start.

My head says Sexton, my heart say Hunter!

I’d love to see Eli or Roczen win, but I think Chase is the guy. That’s making the massive assumption that he immediately gets along with his new bike and team structure. All the elements are there, they’ve just gotta work together.. 

In the end I believe Chase will have the title, but I am rooting for Roczen 

Hunter needs to win one 450 SX race before we can start taking championship 

Its Sexton or Webbs championship to lose

Sexton

2022 yes, but calling 2020 a 'weak' season is crazy. He could have won that thing if he didn't land flat on his back that year. 

Hunter Lawrence did pretttty damn good in SMX a couple months ago.  I wouldn’t bet against him

“Could have” = Didn’t. 

Is it a statistic, or not? 

40% Chase, 40% Webb, 20% Tomac

Nobody else can consistently out perform those 3

You mean like when he won the title in 2019, and then finished 2nd in 2020, then won it again in 2021?  About the only season Webb did bad in sx was in 2022.  Other than that, he's finished either in 3rd, 2nd, or 1st.

Deuce Coop loading amo into his finger gun.

Hunter and Roczen start strong. Sexton, Tomac, and probably Webb become contenders by mid season. Sexton takes it with a win streak at the end.

Which, at the very least, means his hips will be unlocked. 👍

OK, I take Eli since everyone seems to forget about his pedigree.
