2020 Vital MX Awards Final Voting 8

Let's face it, for a lot of us, 2020 is a year that we're looking forward to seeing in the rear-view mirror. Whether it was Covid-19 disrupting nearly everything, that it was an election year, or any number of other kookie events, this was a strange one. But whether this year pegged the meter on the crazy scale or not, we still had some great racing, a renewed interest in racing and riding from people looking for something to do with their time, and some cool new products to play with.

All that to say, it's time to vote for the 2020 Vital MX Awards. Pick your favorites from the three categories below, and we'll hand over a cool trophy to each of the winners. Deadline for voting? December 20th, 2020.

Ready or not, let's do this.

Racer of the Year Nominations

Dylan Ferrandis

With a successful title defense of the 250 West championship that he'd won in 2019, and a 250 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, 2020 was obviously a successful year for the transplanted Frenchman. 

Tim Gajser

Things were no less challenging for the guys on the MXGP side this year, with a heavily revamped schedule, and multiple races crammed into a shorter time frame. Tim Gajser wrapped up his fourth World Championship (one MX2, and three MXGP)...including a title defense of his 2019 championship). 

Zach Osborne

What a crazy 2020 for Zach. After a crash and injuries that had him questioning if he wanted to continue racing, he not only came back to win the final 450 Monster Energy Supercross race of the season, but he also went on a tear during the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship series, winning four races and grabbing an Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship in the 450 class.

Chase Sexton

Talk about a fast track to the elite level. Chase repeated as the 250 East Supercross title holder, and made a successful move up to the 450 class during the outdoor season, showing good speed as the fastest qualifier at several races, as well as taking the overall win at the final race of the season.

Eli Tomac

Eli clinched the 450 Supercross title that had eluded him in previous seasons, cementing a championship legacy. He got off to a good start, winning four races before the schedule was interrupted, and then came back to win two more during a very consistent run to the end.
