What are the scenarios for 450 championship this weekend in Missouri? Prado leads by 16 points over Hayden and Hunter.
Anybody gets 1st or 2nd, Prado gets 3rd - Prado wins championship.
What does it take for Hayden or Hunter to win and who could be a spoiler? Does this look like a Tomac track?

Not a wild prediction, but I have a feeling it’s going to get nutty with the triple points. #2 and #3 have extra motivation for obvious reasons and could be fighting for moto podiums. #26, #94 and #96 are most likely to be in the running for the overall. #38 is my biggest unknown. He could go 1-1 or get his ass handed to him by all of the other contenders and have some crashes or DNF’s. Normally, I would have a more positive outlook for his result, but with retribution in the air (from everyone) and the potential for all of the riders to be gloves off/NFG, I think he will struggle. One bad moto for the #26, even a 4th or worse, and it will be all bets off.
Prado’ll win it. The battle will be Deegan Lawrence and Roczen
Who cares, its a gimmick series with a points system created to produce drama. The points system worked in the 450 class for the first 3 years now making the last race a must win scenario. This year Prado only has to place 3rd to win. It’s a complete joke. Hunter said it correctly, no body asked for this series and they need to put that money back into the MX and SX regular series.

The guy that could be the 3 race “ World Champion “ spent the year getting his ass kicked by about 250 points between SX and MX and now is a “title” contender.
Does Deegan goon ride his way to an injury again like his last SMX final?
The guy in second place didn`t race SX at all...
deegan has already basically said he will do what it takes…think Jo last year. If I am any of the top 5 riders, I take a preemptive strike on deegan KNOWING he will take me out given the chance. If I am Prado, Lawrence, Kenny, or Coop….I let deegan qual 1st and take a gate inside of him. Then…. I don’t want to hear bitching from any of those riders if deegan puts you down. He has already basically said he will. Believe him.
And the guy in fourth place didn't race MX at all.
I think maybe seeding points should be given for SX and MX separately, so you are punished more for skipping all (or most) of an entire series.
I like that so it puts SX, the premiere series, on par with MX.
Either case CW is winning this last race
They will need to go ”Blake Baggett” on the single-to-rollers…
