Just got this months magazine in. There is a lengthy interview with Kenny in it. I’m hoping he does well this season because if he doesn’t he is going to look like a total tool. I understand being mentally strong but basically saying your competition has no chance is a little to bold. I honestly miss when he was the friendly little German kid.
I know who I'm rooting for in 2018 and it's not Kenny.

Jeremy won the fans by saying he was the best and actually going out and being the best. everyone loved his cocky attitude.
time will tell if Kenny is back to his normal speed. if he is, Eli and friends are in for a very long season(s). everyone forgets he won 20 out of 24 motos in '16.
Everyone would think the same way. If they say it or not is another story, but I believe at least partly Kenny does that for PR reasons. He has everyone talking about him. No matter if he wins races or sits on the couch.

Edit: On a side note guys, I have a feeling that if Kenny is on it this year, when him and Tomac get near each other on the track, we are going to see some battling for laps at a time, and not just a one pass and gone. Neither guy seems to me to be the type to get passed and just give up on the position. At least I hope like hell that's how things turn out. I don't see Marvin being able to match pace and fight for multiple laps. I also don't see Webb being able to run their pace, but on the rare night that Coop is on pace, he will duke it out with them. That's a big if though.
Still a fan and pulling for him to win though
From experience, when you're arrogant, a little contemptuous with this sport, one day, you'll pay for it.
Dungey had a measured approach, it's a form of respect for this sport and a lot of humble champions.
RC same, his confidence, he showed on the track, no blabla.
Kenny put a lot of unnecessary pressure on his shoulders imo.
I m not fan, i prefer : "I let my ride do the talking" approache.
I wish him the best.
(I don't know if my sentence is understandable, sry)

"Jeffrey is a big talent. Very fast. I don't think his technique is one of the best but he puts in so much work on the bike. He is very strong the whole moto and has a lot of power. He rides more on his strength and energy than technique; I like riders who use their technique and who are cleaner with that but everyone has his own style. I'm also different to him with my mentality. I never say 'I am the best' or 'nobody can beat me' and he is the one that will say that. I don't like that so much. There is always someone better than you! So I never had that mentality in my head... but I also think it is a little bit typical of the Dutch! If they start to get near the top then they start to 'fly' a little bit. Of course there are also italians like this but it is not my case. I have never said 'I am the best try to beat me'. I have just tried to show it through my career."
Here is the full interview (with many details on the past two years injuries):

1) Kenny wins
2) Kenny comes out mellow takes a 4th or 5th and builds steam, realizes its a long season
3) Kenny ends up in Matthes nets
1 and 3 have a very high probability of happening
shole , you should be able to say it with out being just called a hater
Being humble and letting results speak for themselves seems to be an art lost on Ken these days. When he went over the bars at MEC last year, I thought "probably should have kept your mouth shut y until you had won", then the BIG one in SX, I really felt for him (honestly), but you know a lot of people out there were thinking the exact same thing, albeit with a worse physical outcome for him.
You know why people love an underdog? Because the underdog usually goes about his business and lets results tell the story. It is human nature (in the non-U.S. world at least) to wait for a braggart to falter.
