There will be a new National Champion in the 250 class this year. Who does everyone think will take the title in the 250's Outdoors? Whomever that is will have the option of taking a single digit career national number. What number do you think will be chosen?

Single Digit Numbers available:

5

6

8

9

Thoughts?

When was the last time the 8 was ran by anyone? I’m probably drawing a massive blank but can only think of Langston.

I was certain Jett was going to drop the 1 out of the 18 and then Deegan also. Why is everyone afraid of the 8?

And on that note if say Jett wanted the 8 could he take it? Do you only have one chance to claim a single digit number?

Pretty sure he could take it if he wanted. Bubba was 259 his first year in the premier class and switched to 7.

It's ugly.  

Without question, I'd go for the #5 or #6.

250 outdoor is going to be a fuckn war. I can’t wait… interested to see if Cole can hang it out and do what needs to be done in the nats. He’s a very technically sound racer which lends itself to SX. Different skill set for outdoors, bring it on.

It’s Jo Shimoda’s to lose.

He could have yeah but he said 18 meant more to him since he won the first championship on it and also shortly after he turned 18, that's why he kept it.

I'm just rooting for Hymas knees at this point. Talent wise he could go on a run anytime, no doubt about it. But so could Shimoda. Avoiding trouble is the most important part. I think the Honda guys will be hard to beat this summer IF they stay on two wheels.. 

Leaning year for Davies, hasn't even seen most of the tracks yet. That's why I won't even try to make any predictions with him.

No new single digit holder. J Mart in for outdoors.

It will be if J Mart doesn't score 25 points after the conclusion of this season, correct? So it would be available for the 2027 season?

I think Deegan should run the 8 and bring back the 8 ball jersey. Maybe even start 8 Ball gear Co.

Yes, I think he said if he crashed it’s the same number if his bike was upside down

Is Seth healthy? I feel like he’s built himself up to being someone who should at least win an overall possibly a contender

Max is the last guy in the 250 class who has some real pedigree behind him. 

This is his best chance ever to win an AMA championship, He probably knows it. I’m expecting Max to come out firing.

Yep that was the only other guy I could think of before Langston.
