To be honest this looks badass. Its pretty technical and looks long when you watch the track map. Lets hope the tracks are all new with lots of passing to match the new riders per class and the new bikes/team colors. 2019 kind of looks like the next step forward in the sport.

I feel good about Ando but I think like last year Eli is gonna try as hard as he can to holeshot and make a statement win.

1. Tomac

2. Anderson

3. Roczen

4. Musquin

5. Deano

6. Seely

7. Webb

8. Reed



That's how I see this going down. Obviously any mistake from any of them will shake that up. And of course...if Osborne is actually there, lol....then I see him in the top 5.

Better change that around and add Plessinger into the mix if it is a mudder

Ah shit...I totally forgot about AP7

Ok...here goes:

1. Tomac

2. Anderson

3. Roczen

4. Musquin

5. Deano

6. Seely

7. Plessinger

8. Webb

9. Reed

If it is a mudder, I see that mixing around a bit...with Anderson falling and Plessinger moving up. Reed will also break the top 5 if it rains.

I wouldn't have Seely that high if it ends up being decently wet

That's fair...Seely could drop back to 9th-10th spot. Anything farther than that and he should be ashamed. Dude has a lot to prove this year.

Tomac top 5 but not win.

I bet Roczen and a yellow suprise named Hill.

Steve said in Pulp that it will be cloudy but not muddy.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Hill got an A1 win and then floated around the top 5 the rest of the year.

My dream podium on Saturday would be:

1) Barcia
2) Hill
3) Plessinger

With Tomac and Roczen rounding out the top 5....aint gonna happen, but I'd be stoked!

hahah! Damn...the talent really is stacked (again) this year!

I haven't heard much about/from him during the off season, but obviously he's in the top 10 as well.

I also left out Malcom Stewart, who could easily come through with a surprise ride.

I wish A1 had a double header event. Every year when the broadcast ends after the first race, I somehow feel even MORE excited for the next race. Or even if they did 2 motos like MX... I’m rambling now

Do we have a list of the riders hurt that will miss A1?

I know of:

Bloss
Osborne

Is that it? I hate seeing any of these guys out, so I hope so!

The dude has been in a wheelchair for most of the year! Being back racing has proved enough for me! and he was 2nd in points when he got hurt last year!

haha! I forgot he was in 2nd place points wise when he went down in Tampa. He was flying last year. He's definitely proven to the fans he has heart and determination, but he's gotta make HRC proud this year. These factory rides are a hot commodity with all the talent out there.

I’m just going off of RacerX. In the 250 team guide they stated that AC and Marchbanks are expected to race West.

I’m predicting a lot of “just couldn’t get comfortable” and “struggled with the bike all night”. Oh, and a few “track was one lined/hard to pass” for good measure.
