He has only finished second in the championship from what I can tell 2 times in his 450 sx career and the last one was over 5 years ago.

Webb will destroy him mentally, Tomac and Sexton have him on speed, and if hunter stays consistent and ups his SX speed a bit, roczen ain't catching him either. I get what you're saying, the door opened a crack, and went from a 0% chance to a 2% chance. lol.

I just hope we get a different winner each weekend. Mix the top 6 guys on the podium, keep it interesting.

Roczen was in the hunt up through Tampa last year before colliding with a lapper. It won't take anything other than a hiccup from Webb, Tomac, Sexton  for him to have the red plate. Holding it to the end will be the challenge.

Why not? Might as well throw Malcolm's number into the hat here too. Finally got that big W last year and dude looked soooo good in Paris. If he stays healthy, he's proven he can be consistent through a full indoor season.

To be fair, Hunter performs really well for the SMX Playoff rounds as well.

i wonder how different a bunch of championships would have been in krocs favor if they didnt go to 20 minutes plus 1?

I swear half of webbs 30 plus wins have come from passing the dude on lap 25 or some shit.

He would be 32 yrs old when the season ends in May.  The oldest person to ever win a 450/250 smoke championship is 29 yrs old.  

 

The odds are heavily stacked against him.

With Makita coming back in, this would be a nice look in '27...

Highly, highly unlikely. Maybe his chances went from 1% to 2% when it was announced that Jett was out. It's not a talent or raw speed issue. He simply has not shown that he can get through a whole SX season and maintain elite performance without significant spans of inconsistency. There are simply too many other great riders in the field that will take advantage of that. 

It would be quite the story, though. 

Only three rounds to go and he has certainly proven me wrong. My statement really seems to apply more to Tomac at this point than Kenny.

I don't think the health issue/fading at the end of the season has been relevant for a while now, probably ever since he switched to SX only. I think this is his best chance since his arm injury for sure but he needs to keep it cool. Last year once he got the red plate, his entire demeanor changed on the track and he crashed himself out of the championship instantly.

Huge Roczen fan though so I'm gonna say yeah. STAMP IT, of course. Grinning

Well Kenny is certainly "keeping it cool" this year. Bro's out here saying he doesn't even care if he wins the championship or not. 😭

I'm a fake, though. I'll admit I had given up on the idea of him being the champion once he went to over 30 points back. Shame on me!

I think it would be a great story. However I think that is the last Gift he will receive. 

Hunter is great under pressure. This will be a test for Kenny. He is only in this due to Hunters mistakes. 

If anyone is thinking the pressure is too much for Hunter. Go back to SMX last year. He Dominated that last moto. Jett only won because it was one of very few times that Tomac faded at the end.

I respect all these guys and if Hunter pulls it off I will be very happy for him. He has many years left to get it done though. So I hope Kroc can get it.
