I still believe Tomac is Roczen's biggest rival for the championship but A1 didn't go as planned. Will Tomac be able to bounce back and get a win streak going?

He's done nothing dont hang your hat on him, I'm sure hes a great guy a all that has great fitness but he is no challenge for KR or even RD5 he's a top 6-8 guy at best if he stays up. If you want to hang you hat on a honda guy go with Trey he's the real deal.

He hasn't even won a single 450 race yet. Not doubting his ability to do so, but all this championship and "Tomac domination" talk is waaaaay premature. He has two podiums so far in 450 SX.

X2.....yes he'll win. He's blazing fast, but also has a history of hitting the deck. It'll be fun to watch.

Streak ? I hope not... I don't want anybody to go on a streak. Especially a squeaky voiced German

Agree that Tomac is Kenny's biggest threat. Tomac is certainly capable of that if he can get good starts, and avoid mistakes.

I think we'll see a different ET and DM18 this weekend. I truly think Wilbur taking that digger got into Davi's head last week.

In order to discuss a "win streak" doesn't one have to ...uh idk....WIN????

Nothing against Tomac, he will win a race this year... If anyone wants to ask win streak question, I would say...perhaps we look at Roczen for that.

6 - 8th place guy if he stays up? What? He had the fastest lap times last weekend if you didn't notice. Your reply doesn't make much sense. If he stays up....that dude is a threat to win any race......any race!

Cannot see anyone going on a streak, will all be down to how the few first rounds go and then we will see who will be at top, just hope injuries dont start hitting expected front runners

odds of Roczen having a race like Tomac had at A1 ??

He definitely has the speed to win but I don't think he has the race craft to do it consistently. He seems to ride over his head sometimes and doesn't make the best decisions when passing. I honestly don't see anyone going on a streak in this field, but wait until he wins first then we can talk about it!

I should add, I think if he can just get a holeshot and do his thing it's race over for the other guys.

The biggest threat for KR is the guy who finished 3rd last week, IMHO.

Don't really believe Canard can do it, I'd rather go with Millsaps or Dungey.

Steffan: I think Trey is outright faster than RD and DM.

He has had some good races but I don't think god has the time to get him on the box every week.

I know back when I was roadracing, My teammate got put in the meat wagon after a big high side and it messed with me for a few laps. Every rider/racer handles things differently. It's not that far fetched to be worried about a friend who just got pummeled.

Why would it not? Quit playing the Billy badass card. I know for certain that Wil getting hurt affected DM's performance!

Hahaha you can't be serious. RD really showed alot of aggression last week taking 7 laps to pass shorty. If that's the way he's going to ride all season more like RD will be the 6-8th place guy. Tomac will be battling for wins when he gets a start.

Until he gets close to the points lead, then "the wheels will fall off" as they say. Or something like that..

You can not be serious. Nice cast though. Probably a KTM fanboi.

Agreed, and actually the top ten from last week, plus a couple more like Millsaps, are capable of winning more than one.

Just because guys ride for the same team doesn't mean they are friends buddies or pals.They are all fighting each other for the same few jobs and riders crash and get hurt everyday but I doubt Milsap's even gave it a 2nd thought and if it did get in his head then he doesn't have much of a shot at the championship. Motocross is not a TEAM sport.
