Dungey will win the overall...Stewert (if he shows) will crash, limp around for a couple laps, and pull into the pits...Junkyard Dog will be in the top 12, Alessi will holeshot both motos but fade to 5th, and Roger will look cool in his KTM duds. Also, the track will be awesome.

We already know Bubba isnt racing so why the dig at him? Seen Bubba race Southwick many times and if he was healthy, he would destroy the field. That's coming from an RD fan

I think its comical that because its a sand track the prognosticaters resign Baggett 3rd or 4th place. Everytime there is a sand section (like Millville sand whoops) the guy just kills it with more speed than anyone, in any class. Can't wait to see how it unfolds but something tells me Blake is looking foward to being the underdog in this one.

It's go time for Baggett. These next two races he either steps up and takes this championship or the wheels come off. Nothing says championship like beating down a guy in his own backyard. Barcia has it right in front of him with the deck stacked in his favor.........has he matured enough to make it through these races without a mistake? Barring a catastrophic crash or mechanical IMO Southwick and Unadilla decide this thing.

He only destroyed the field when the field didn't include #4. I believe 2008 was the only year he won in the 450 class. If he was racing I don't believe he would beat Dungey.

If he was healthy he would beat Dungey at Southwick. Base that on seeing both of them ride there

Bubba is no slouch in the sand.. Aside from his identical crashes in i think 2002 and 2006.

2006 his Kawi froze up, no fault of his. In about the worse spot on the track, that was a knarly crash. He was on RC pace at least for some of the motos 2006 and 2007. RC always got the best of him but I would put him up against any sand rider ever, so it's no insult to Bubba.

Southwick has not been kind to Pro Circuit motors in the past. Pourcel and RV come to mind. Just a thought.

I've been lighting a candle in church every day for the past 3 weeks, I've been following the ramadan for a month, I've avoided every single black cat and other bad voodoo things. This time Ken Roczen will win ... hopefully ...

I really think Dungey will overall the 450's.
I'm hoping Baggett and Roczen finish 1-2 in the 250's. Hopefully Baggetts PC bike holds up. I remember Pourcels bike dying there a few years ago which cost him a bunch of points.

That's the only way RD loses. No one is gonna touch him Sat. He was a lap down last yr and came back to 6th or 7th

Bagget will race Roczen hard till the last lap #70 1-1
wet sand will make the going tough.

Dowd # 16 holeshots leads for awhile.

Do you fear Villopoto? I watched that 2b continued vid and I actually have more respect for the kid... before I just liked to watch him ride.
