I have always been curious who's your favorite current rider and who do you want to win. Personally I am a Marv fan but who do you guys like?

I like the way Anderson rides. I could care less if he wins, but the better he does the more we get to see him ride, so I root for him to do well.

If I was forced to put money on it, I'd have a hard time not picking Roczen. I have very little faith that Tomac can put it all together for 12 rounds. Tomac is sort of an enigma at this point.

as for 250, who knows, the 250 motocross series is always full of surprises. Is Jeremy Martin moving to the 450's?

I've been a fan of Eli since his 243 days, probably because I used to idolize his father back when I was racing MTBs. I will say that being a Tomac fan is hard work, there are a lot of emotional ups and downs.

Other guys I definitely cheer for include Barcia 2.0, Seely, Zacho, Forkner (this is awkward right now), RJ Hampshire, and Alex Martin. For GPs I like Cairoli and Paulin, and for younger guys Gajser, Thomas Kjer Olsen and Darian Sanayei.

But in reality I'm a fan of everyone. The sport is so freakin' hard, it beats you up, eats you up and spits you out. Have to applaud any rider who makes it!!

Tomac and Anderson but AP is the top of the order. Had to watch the race when I got back yesterday because I watched AP every lap he was on the track Saturday

I gotta go with Herlings who I believe is the best rider in the world right now.

I’m a big fan of both AC’s. Wish and thought Adam would have had a little more success by now but the injuries keep getting him.

Of course I’m rooting for Brayton every week.

Marvin seems like a great guy. Anderson, Barcia, Webb are on my list of very good guys to have in the field for excitement but can’t say any are my favorites

If Roczen gets healthy and back up to speed I think he may make it to the top of my list

Deano is a friend. So I always want him to do well.

Kenny and Cianciarulo were always appreciative of what I did for them when I ran tracks. Dungey too. So I always like when they do well.

I don’t root against anyone. But there were some guys that were dicks and expected to ride for free and wanted special treatment. A lot of the SoCal kids were so entitled they didn’t make it.

I really only have a few i don't like!

Amazing, 2 years ago everyone was on Webb now it's crickets on him. I'm all in on Forkner, Webb, And Hill really has me pumped.

Any rider willing to put it on the line to win. Herlings, Antonio, Tomac, Anderson, etc etc. probably about 20 riders on my list. All are bad dudes on a dirt bike.
3/27/2018 4:19am Edited Date/Time 3/27/2018 5:18am
US: Adam C, Baggett, Rocsen, Reed, Barcia, Wilson any privateer
GP's: Olsen, Herlings, Sanei, Anstie

Least favorite: Savatgy, McElrath, super boring personality's in my opinion

All time: Bradshaw, Guy Cooper, Reynard, McGrath

450: Herlings, Anstie, New Barcia, Mookie(please get 100% fit next off-season) and Reed

250: Cianciarulo, TKO, Wharton, Osborne

Least favorite: Tapia, i can't like a dude that think the earth is flat. I don't think i have any other riders that i dislike. I might dislike a rider that does something stupid on the track but that goes away after awhile.

I still love the sport, but have only had a few favourites.

Way back, Darrell Shultz and Magoo. One for style, one for “wow”.

Hurricane
Beast from the East
JS7 (stay home make babies, love ya enough to let you go)

RD5 because of what he did with orange.

Across the pond, those orange dudes (and the tracks).

Found myself mysteriously cheering for Eli at the 2016 MEC.
I like those ham fisted riders that just send it to win. Doesn’t always work out, but entertaining as f.


Talked to Josh Demuth in Canada for a few minutes. Loved his track style, and wow....coolest dude since Jim Morrison.
I tried to emulate his style, even attacking the woods. Hope he is doing ok these days.

Colton in Canada is a cool dude.

VR46, I bow towards Italy once a day. He’s a YZ450 flatracker during the week.

Still kind of searching for my next all in hero. Best part is, the sport is bigger than any one rider.
