The season is 2 weeks away and the bordem has set in.
Who is your 450 class prediction. I've only added guys I think have any sort of chance. Let me know if I missed someone. Mcelrath, bogle, hartranft and troll think are the best guys left out. But I believe they are 0 chance.

Poll
We all know that Eli has historically been more of a natural in the great outdoors, and being in a program that suits his preferences and has given him recent confidence creates a great situation for him to rip around these tracks the way he did in '17-'19. Even at the end of last season, he was putting in rides reminiscent of his days of dominance. It was those first two rounds that really took him out of the championship, which were total weirdo races.
By no means do I think he can just dominate the whole series, even if he's healthy. Ferrandis is rested and has had a lot of time to devote to testing/preparing to defend his title. I think those two guys will be the title frontrunners.
Kenny will have a great rounds 1-4 and then fade. I have him winning an overall or two but definitely not the title.
This is Anderson's best chance to win his first 450 overall, and I think he will. However, I just don't see him being consistent through all 12 rounds, which I do expect from Ferrandis and Tomac if healthy.
I think Dungey starts slow, places around 8-12 in the first few races. I could see him getting more comfortable around the midpoint in the season and ending the campaign as a consistent top 5 contender with a couple overall podiums.
He could be ahead of the game by now on the opposite side of the point though.
The Shop
I think this season the non favourites could have the opportunity to stand up. Guys like Anderson, sexton, mookie and barcia could have a chance of stealing a title.
Ferrandis should be 100%
Tomac could have a stuffed knee
Rozcen well he has roczen issues
Dungey and cairoli there old and retired
If Ferrandis has an issue and the others named suffer from there issues. It could open the door for an outsider.
Mookie will be fast but not consistent, as will Barcia.
Sexton will end his own season.
Ferrandis, I believe is hiding an injury.
Dungie and " the real AC" will win moto,s.
That leaves Jason to easily win the title, with 3 rounds to go.
No, I'm not Jason fan, nor am I a green fan.
1. Championship settled with 2 rounds to go
2. Dungey is good, Cairoli is god.
3. Ferrandis is redplate from round 3 (see above).
4. Savatgy finish points higher than JA21
5. Roczen is ”2016” brilliant… in some motos…
6. Mookie, Plessinger, Craig also participates in the national championship… 🙄
7. Dungey top 3 US rider at end of season, races MXoN with Barcia and ?
8. Alex Martin and Hartranft finish top 10 in points.
9. Fast Freddie finish top 15 in points.
10. One fulltime KTM rider messes up, deCoster kidnaps Marchbanks, puts him on a factory 350, rides in clubmx gear, steady top 10… 😎
Oh, if Eli races, he will be good but DF14 wins…
Pit Row
Not a great commentary on Roczen, eh?
But no way I count him out either.
