I missed lasts weeks post because I got too drunk and missed work:
What I want to discuss today:
Who would you take in an outdoor series in their prime for a title: RC,RV,JS,AC,JH, in my opinion I don't think there is anyone as gifted as RV on ripping an outdoor track apart and I truly believe RC would have issues keeping him behind, RV had no love on wasting time behind people.
Do you really think the Euros are ahead of the USA in motocross or is it the fact we have been sending our 2nd tier riders to compete with their best in Des Nations? Does Roczen win des Nations if he does not get hurt this year? I believe JH is the only talent to compete with a healthy JA, MM, ET, KR, BB, the rest of the euros would not be close so what is this disconnect?
Lastly, do you consider Roczen the favorite this year? I do and heres why, RV lost both of his legs and came to defeat JS and CR in their prime during the best season of supercross ever, parity wise. What is stopping KR from doing the same? He is currently the champion of mental warfare and knows how to get into Eli;s head, in my opinion this is the most important quality to having a championship rider.
Lets discuss

All of that being said, I would actually take RC in his prime because of his commitment to win no matter what.
The Shop
Roczen is defiantly my favorite going into SX, like you said he does know how to get into Eli's head. MM might challenge him if he has learn't to skim whoops. Anderson will be there for a chasing Roczen as well I believe. Speedy Reedy will probably win 1 main event then go back to his 10th places like he going get for the rest of the season. BB never liked SX but I feel he could manage I few wins this year. Championship bets are on Roczen or Musquin and little mistake Roczen makes Musquin will take advantage. Feel like that is the only way Musquin will win this championship he's just going to have to wait for a mistake by Roczen.
Man, you cannot use a hangover as an excuse on Vital without details.
I feel that the USGPs are a better example then des nations, more of an organized race
Giving you an "A" for creativity. And, btw, you're fired.
Yeah USGP is for sure a better example but like mxb2 said Tomac was meant to be in title mode but imo he didn’t look like it, looked like he was defo pushing to me. Would be nice for there to be an off-season race which AMA and MXGP could attend which didn’t conflict with the schedules.
Pit Row
I do think the euros are ahead for motocross. That is their primary focus train all year for it. Also I think their tracks are allowed to get a little rougher compared to ours. Stateside does have larger jumps though no doubt. Herlings came over and was fast. Ferris laid some fast laps and he wasn't considered a top tier rider over there. I think TG243 would also do well outdoors.
Lastly I would say that MM has a lot of momentum coming I and will be a title contender. But Eli will come out strong and win the title. Roczen will get some W's but I think he will start the season off "slow" for his standards. Also see BB4 stepping up for podiums and a few wins and JA21 with some W's
"The Euros" aren't the fastest. Jeffery Herlings is. Tomac is close, but Florida GP was a true test. Both Herlings and Cairoli pulled away second moto and Eli said himself that he didn't have it in him.
IMO, it doesn't matter if Roczen is fast right now at the test track or not. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the arm holds him back over a series.
