I saw that Lance Kobusch was on the Tampa entry list. No mention of him anywhere. Remember he was a fast amateur with Team Green a few years ago. What happened and who's he riding for now?
He rode for Suzuki amateur team last year. Not sure what he’s up to for the season.
He’s riding KTMs with support from Fox I’m guessing (he has fox graphics) and running number 194.

Smith was slightly slower than Forkner last year but better than Sexton. Who has improved ?
McElrath won a race last year vs Ferrandis. Is the Yamaha better?
J Mart could beat Smith sometimes.
Josh Hill couldn’t beat Luke Clout in Australia.
Hampshire hasn’t been a factor ever but has the Husky elevated him and how far?
Colt Nichols was competitive last year at times on west coast.

It’s great having no idea how everyone will stack up in this deep field. Shimoda will probably win it!

I'll go with Sexton or Smith- 1-2- vice versa results. Think Smith has some potential to come. Always impressed me.

Hope its got as much excitement as the West one has provided!
May the best man win.

Quick random question, did not know where else to ask. Does the AMA have a forced upgrade rule for 250 riders? When is a 250 rider forced to switch to the 450 class?

Personally I think Sexton is over rated. He won the East last year but hasn’t done much else and is guaranteed a factory Honda 450 ride.
Rookie season @17 y/o: 5th o/a with 2 podiums
Second season @18 y/o: Champion with 6 podiums

If that's overrated I might have missed a couple of years in racing because I can't remember many rookies being better at that age. At least recently.
