Hammaker
I want Hammaker to win so badly, he’s got a great shot this year.
Pierce Brown and Cole Davies will both be extremely fast.
Also hoping to see a nice rebound for Casey Cochran.
As of now, Jo will likely miss the first couple of rounds. But who knows, considering originally he wasn’t going to race at all.
Drew Adams??
Sounding more and more like Jo will be at the first round of 250 east. I wonder what percent he will be at.

Hammaker, Schock, Thrasher, Shimoda, Bennick, Cochran, Park, Swoll and Drew Adams should all be up in the mix. Some of the smaller-team/privateer riders will be a factor too: Weltin, Kelley, Miller (all on MX6 Kawasaki), Guillod (Rock River), Locurcio (Privateer Paddock), and a few others...
Here's a quick list, probably missed someone, feel free to mention and I'll add to list...

??? Brodie Connolly
Great info - thanks. ^
Looking forward to it.
The racing in the West has been a little lacklustre IMO. Danger Boy running away with it.
Maybe my view is influenced by the unreal (and clean) racing in the 450s
Kayden Mineer?
Pierce Brown
Star is pitting the amateurs against each other. Whoever does better in futures gets the 250 east ride. It’s between Gordon, Minear, and Dudney.
ML, I know you've indicated it's 50-50 on Jo in your past few videos, do you know if it's leaning one way or the other for being at the first round?
Hoping Pierce Brown and Hammaker killer it. My dark horse is Thrasher finally putting it together. I wonder if Forkner will ride a 250?
Genuine question: Following the Houston incident: Forkner?
You’re not alone with this thought…🤔
Hopefully it’s more exciting than the west rounds have been. Lot of good front runners on the east!
I think he has a broken hand. Poor guy, it’s not going well at this point
Is Beaumer riding any Supercross? I know he is recovering from injury but I don't remember the timeline for his return.
Hopefully more than 70%.
Pit Row
You never know what these guys can pull off in a coupl’a weeks. 🤣
outdoors
Hopefully Jo gets to race and would be cheering for him and Seth or Brown. Excited to see Adam's, Dax and Davies as well.
I'm expecting Davies to win right out of the gate.. and hopefully Brown can keep it off the ground. He has shown some incredible speed at times. Forkner could have had a great series, but....
going with Jalek, would be an epic "out of left field" Champ
Go Davies. Hope he finds the speed he had prior to the arm injury and can win a shootout again.
He’s really fast and actually someone who I do think will win a championship in maybe the next 5 or so years.
definitely agree with you on that!
I’m thinking Cullin park is going to be pretty good
East looks like it will fun. I think quadlock Honda has a kid coming up I think his name is Brody Campbell.
Pierce leveled up last year, it’s a shame his crash in the whoops derailed his year the way it did. Hope we can see him back up front competing for wins.
Jalek, too. Dude’s had some tough luck the last few years.
Brodie Connolly. He's a Kiwi that races in the Australian series.
He's good but might not be at the level as the top guys, indoors anyway. He'll be decent outdoors
