Outdoors predictions

Be crazy to bet against Jett if he’s fully healthy.  He’s still only ever lost 3 overalls one of which was Ironman with the gate debacle.

Probably Hunter second, might steal on overall or two if Jett is not on his game.

After that it’s a crap shoot to place the rest.  Eli will be up there but I have doubts whether he can be consistent enough.  

JCoop is good outdoors but highly start dependent.

Deegan obviously has potential but we haven’t seen how that will translate to the 450.

Prado is now in the situation he wanted; no more excuses.  Might steal a moto or two when conditions suit him.

Chase - who knows if he’s even racing?

Has Kenny announced any outdoors participation?

I think it depends if he wins the SX title. I think if he wins it he won't need the SMX points from outdoors for the end of season playoffs. I hope he races some Nationals. 

I do not think he is racing outdoors. 

Marchbanks and Webb will clash it out for the title.

Ferrandis and Jcoop will be the consistent podium guys with Chase and Tomac joining them every now and then.

Neither the Lawrences or Deegan will get on the podium this year, they're lucky to get into the top 5 with a field like that.

Prado will win every first moto and then ride around 30th in the 2nd moto.

Kenny will show up at Unadilla only and lap the whole field.

Diffey and RC will also be fulltime in the outdoors booth this year, replacing Weege and Js7 with Will and Rutledge Wood doing the track report/interviews.

Did I miss anything?

Top 3 in championship will probs be Prado, Tomac, J. Lawrence, in any order. Ferrandis, Deegan, Cooper, H. Lawrence , some podiums and top 5. Im sure Deegan will be quick, but he’s probs gonna crash too. Coenen brothers will destroy everyone if they race at Southwick.  

It is so dependant on how Jett is feeling. I think hunter may have a couple slow rounds to start coming off this SX battle. I think Prado, Deegan, and possibly Tomac are going to be up there the first rounds. It will be interesting if Kenny keeps the momentum moving or if he gets the "sx hangover" as well.

Edit: didnt realize Ken wasnt committed to outdoors.

Deegan is going to win the title and he’s going to be hated more than ever. I see Deegan making Jett have too many bad motos by dirty riding. It’s just who he is and the mindset he has.

Jett will be second and the motos he does win.. Deegan won’t be a close second hence deegans frustration and take outs.

I’m going Hunter 3rd over Prado because I just can’t trust a guy that gives up. Hunter won’t give up. 

Prado will flash but the first glimpse of adversity and it’s back MXGP next year. 

Tomac won’t get good enough starts against Jett, Hunter, Deegan and Prado. It’s always been his downfall and with these 4 other guys it will only be worse. 

Nothing ever goes my way in life.... so you're probably right.

Isn't the kid racing? I think he's gonna bring something. Maybe not 1st but he'll be a threat. 

It’s going to be hot and dry at most races with 1 mudder for the season. Thats my best guess. 

I think we’re really sleeping on the 250 class with the Lawrence and Deegan hype. Now that Deegan’s out of the 250 class it seems kind of wide open to me. I feel like we’ll see a few guys emerge with some new confidence. 

How is Hymas doing? Is he ready for round 1? Havent heard from him in a while. He def has the speed to be the guy in the 250 class

The 450 class better answer because DNGR DEEGz is calling, and he ain't going to get sent to voice mail. 

It will rain at High Point

Maybe a bold take but I think win or lose sx will take a lot out of Hunter and don't see him being a big threat. Deegan will have speed but when the tracks break down probably won't be able to hang with Jett. Prado is the only guy I can see beating Jett for the championship and that's only if Jett makes mistakes or has some bad motos. 

I've never been so stoked to see a 450 mx season before... could be an all timer if nobody gets hurt...  

250s blahhh

Winners? Jett and..... really zero idea for 250s... but I'm going w shimoda... 

I wanna see Hammaker take the outdoor title. 

So we get to hear about 3 minutes of actual race calling per race and the rest dribbling pod cast talk. Awesome. Please get guys who CALL THE RACE into the booth 

Jett , Eli , hunta, chase, deegs and prado with a dash of Jcoop.

I expect jett to be underdone and hunta to take the title.

Deegs 3-4th in his first season.

prado to annoy with his mobile roadblocking.

Prado beating Jett is rich. thats hilarious

Is RJ back for the Nationals? He was underrated last year.

1 Jett
2 Hunter
3 Deegan, Prado, Tomac, Sexton

No idea who gets 3rd. I feel like probably Deegan but wouldn't be surprised if any of the other 3 I listed took 3rd. But I would be surprised if any of them consistently beat the Lawrences.

I expect Ferrandis being just behind those 6 riders...

Dude if you didn’t realize the whole comment was a joke after the first sentence, you can’t be helped. 

Jett probably wins another title. If he's healthy, and stays injury free.

Sexton, or Prado 2nd

Tomac, Deegs or Hunter 3rd

It'll be a Hunter brothers/Deegan/Tomac/Prado summer. Chase walks by Unadilla.

I'd love to see JCoop up front this season. 

With the clash of styles I imagine we will see a Deegan-Prado pretzel with a little bit of salt.
