Kenny has the points lead and momentum. Hard to bet against him now. Hunter needs to basically win both remaining races to beat him. 

Kenny can easily finish second if he doesn’t win. He will hold the red plate in the final round for sure.

With this thread title I can’t believe we’re four pages in and no one’s posted this.

I've never been in a spot where I want both guys to win so equally. As far as who I'm more a fan of, its Hunter. But when I listen to the AC/JB podcast interview of him, it really makes me want to see Roczen win. He's gotta know what's on the line these last 2 races so he'll be leaving it all on the table. Anyone think Webb is an X-factor in these last couple races? He's been riding well to close out the season and I'm sure he's really motivated to keep Kenny from getting that elusive sx title. It probably wont matter though as he just hasn't had the speed to compete with Hunter and Roczen this year when the conditions are dry

Think if Webb took out Ken ending his chance. Webb would be hated more than vince lol

I mean they will both leave, it would be awkward if one guy just stayed at the track. One will just leave a wee bit happier

On the slick tracks that remain Hunter will be fastest. So if they start together Hunter wins. But if Hunter doesn’t get a good start, though he’s a late race charger, nod to KRoc.

I do hope that Hunter gets an SX championship one day. He seems like a good dude and he's had to overcome the shadow of his little brother, but he has plenty of time. 

It just feels like the universe owes Kenny on this one! #roczennation

I don’t think that the universe owes Roczen anything. If he wins this thing (and I really hope he does!) he’ll have earned it through sheer will and determination, not a make up gift from ‘the universe’!!!!!

But Kenny can't take second if Hunter wins both races. The gap is 4 points and its a 3 point difference between 1st and 2nd right?

He meant Kenny could take second this weekend and still have a 1-point lead going into the final round. 
If I were Roczen, I'd keep pushing right now and try to pad my lead for the final. 

On another note, someone should use this image as a motivational poster. Great job by Octopi:

Yeah James talked about it on his podcast and was saying this weekend is the championship. Not literally, obviously. But Kenny wins on Saturday and he has what, a 6 point lead? Or 7? But either way, it gives him such a buffer for the finale. What an amazing story this championship has been! I'm usually checked out on sx by now.

^ If it's Roczen 1, Lawrence 2, Kenny will lead by 7. If it's Lawrence 1, Roczen 2, Hunter will be 1 point behind.

I think Hunter is riding conservative for the championship as a strategy, which usually works. But right now Kenny is going for it and he keeps coming out on top. I think Hunter needs to change his mentality right now and go out there to dominate.

As for who I am cheering for, I gotta go with Ken. This makes his career story sooooo much better. Either way I don't think I will celebrate who won as much as I will feel gutted for the guy that lost. It's a weird ending in that regard for me.

That is what makes this so rad. He has been given some lemons in his career, and he is out there making a big ass jug of lemonade right now.

I like both of the riders and would not be disappointed whoever wins it. 
Yes Hunter has more years to win it and I feel he has elevated his game that he will be in the mix the next 5 years. 
Jett and Danger will have their own warfare going on which leaves Hunter to capitalize.

Sorry I disagree with your first sentence. That wasn’t a takedown and nothing is owed, it was a racing incident, nothing more, nothing less.

You have blinders on? Would Kenny still have crashed without Hunter being around him?
