My prediction is Cooper Webb is ready to prove himself on the KTM with an attitude, and that's ok.

Silly move on KTM's part as I doubt Marv and Webb have a championship in them. Dungey would have been their best bet.

Many of these predictions are just based off of gut feelings and flat out guessing, but this is what my crystal ball is telling me the week before Anaheim.

Jason Anderson 1 (the returning champ, rides great at Anaheim)

Ken Roczen 2 (Ken and Jason can be switched for me, both ride great at Anaheim 1)

Justin Barcia 3 (will be a constant podium threat and will come in to the season with a confidence he has not had in many years)

Joey savagty 4 (great start and will put down consistent laps showcasing his 450 skills again as he did in October)

Justin Brayton 5 (momentum from euro races and all around great supercross skills that go underrated)

Eli Tomac 6 (possibly coming in with an injury, does not seem to race to his potential at the opener)

Chad Reed 7 (decent start plus a great off season will lead to early success well inside the top 10)

Zach Osborne 8 (solid rookie ride, not too flashy but no major mistakes or crashes)

Marvin Musquin 9 (coming in with an injury will be all about salvaging points)

Malcom Stewart 10 (just inside the top ten but great qualifying speed and battling for the win in the heat race)

Cooper Webb 11 (underwhelming and goes mostly unnoticed)

Blake Baggett 12 (the last few Anaheim 1’s for Blake have not been great, this will again be the case, however by round 7 he will be battling for top 5s)

Dean Wilson 13 (privateer effort, may struggle until he finds himself on better equipment)

Justin hill 14 (the hardest to gage, for all I know he can go out and win this race, however I have a bad feeling for the first few rounds)

Aaron plessinger 15 (may struggle with starts, first race on 450 and supposedly not gelling with bike)

Vince friese 16 (Vince will soon be battling in the top 10 and maybe better, but with all the people mentioned before I have to put him outside of the top 15)

Cole Seely 17 (coming back from a potential career-ending injury, I assume it will take a while to get back in to the results we’ve seen from the past)

Justin Bogle 18 (privateer bike, and a lot of bad luck in the past few years will make it very hard to gain confidence and momentum)

Kyle Chisholm 19
Tyler bowers 20
Alex ray 21
Kyle Cunningham 22

These four are the 4 privateers I see making it into Anaheim 1 I’m sure there will be DNF’s and wild things happening to help improver their results but this is what my crystal ball shows.

Your crystal ball has spoken properly but I'm sure Reed will disagree with the 7th. He has experience, he is on a great machine and he is pretty healthy coming in. My glass ball reckons at least a top 5...if not better.

Webb at 11? That aint gonna sit well with his bosses, he knows he needs to pull his fingers out of his arse. He will do better than 11th. Im thinking top 7.
