Colton FacciottI is a Canadian mx racers, And we all know what they do when they try to race in the USA
Yes, he's getting a bit older though, a few years back he would have been a great choice for a fill in rider. he's top ten on a good day for sure. Especially when1/3 of the factory riders have destroyed themselves racing supercross.
He sure used to be. Benoit looks like he's ready to overtake him up here though. Then there's Thompson waiting in the wings as well.

Empty a bag of skittles into the toilet and then flush. It's like watching a five second long nascar race.
It takes always some time to adjust to new tracks, but no doubt he is fast and talented.
Some top 10 are highly probable even in a "rookie" season.

I am Canadian and while Colton has been a great rider up here, I think if he raced in the USA on just outdoor MX he is around 10th place at the end of a season if he does all 12 races and there is the usual injuries and mishaps within the field. He's a great rider, but reality is that the talent pool in the USA is damn deep. Remember, he did not have much for Davi in 2016 and Millsaps is at best 5-7 outdoors if he is healthy. Also look at Brett Metcalfe who won the Canadian title in 2013. He was 4th overall in 2014 filing in for RV at Kawi, but that was maybe not a super deep year as Barcia was out too, James left the series early, Tomac missed the first 4 rounds with a collarbone fracture, and Weimer was hurt for part of the year as well. A lot of factory dudes on the sideline that year but up in Canada Metty had Colton covered.
There were some lean years in there, like 2010 and 2012 where maybe Colton pulls an 8th place overall. But look at the current line up of guys that should take the gate in 2018: Tomac, Roczen, Musquin, Anderson, Baggett, Seely, Peick, Bogle, Webb, Grant, Deano, Osborne, Tickle. There's 13 factory guys who beat Colton no problem. Then add in Phil Nicoletti, Benny Bloss, Freddy Noren, Ben Lamay (good outdoors), Henry Miller, Matt Bisceglia, Kyle Cunningham....that is a #DEEPFIELDBRO. I'm excited just typing about it!
Old MXer turned Superfan.
A few years ago ? Absolutely. He’s a tick off now of what he was. Happens to everyone.
Dusty Klatt was another one who was a bullet outdoors but made a few bad career moves.
