So apart from these lot:
Vilo, Stew, Reed, Bam, Canard and Dunge.
Who do you think could be the dark house?
If i'm honest, i think under the eyes of RC it will be Tickle, with all the knowledge and championships he has its going to be fun!
Or if Grant rides like he did at MEC he could bag a race win!
I didn't really notice many others at the MEC that stood out?
I think the usuals of windham, millsaps, short and brayton with all of there top 5 moments too.
And i'd love to see Roczen on the 350 do well in the few big boy races he does, if he does.
What you guys think?

Edit I forgot about Wilson. Imaging how gnarly to even get a top 10 in 2013.
The Shop
He was almost as good as Barcia last year, I think, just didn't have the starts (and got out-raced when he did). This year was kind of screwed, but I don't know why everyone is so down on him. (I guess if I'm honest I can't really see any podiums in his near future...we'll see.)
Tickle is probably a good choice for some solid finishes.
I am very excited.
Jason Anderson:
He had a very, very rough rookie campaign. He did not look confident and struggled with the pace of professional sx/mx. Nothing went right for him in 2011. This past year, he looked like a completely different rider. His speed was much improved and his fitness level was much better as well. He had many flashes of brilliance and showed what was expected of him initially. He still struggles with starts, but when he does get one, he runs with the top 5. Look for him to be a front runner this year.
Cole Seely:
Cole has improved every year in speed and consistancy. A lot of people were shocked when he won A1. Myself and David Pingree must have been the only ones who weren't shocked at all. He won 2 races in 2011 and has been a contender for the title. He has had horrible luck in the middle of supercross that has cost him valuable points, but he is on the podium constantly. I think this is his make or break year for a title. He has the speed and fitness to get it done. He is my pick for the West Coast title in 2013.
Ryan Sipes:
He has had horrible luck his entire career but he is always one of the fastest lites riders. Even when he hasn't been on the best bike he has proven he has the speed to win. I don't think he is a title threat but I would not be shocked if he wins a race and makes a few podiums
Grant to put it on the box atleast once after a huge holeshot.
Tomac and Roczen to top 5 at some point if they race a couple on their opposite coasts
I cant see any surprises when it comes down to the title. The old guard of CR, RV RD will be there in the end barring injuries ofcourse.
In the 250's, I think Zach Osborne is going to be much better than anyone imagines. I think he will suit the Geico Honda well, and should be fighting for victories straight away at round one. The only thing I worry about is whether or not he can avoid injury, in every year in the GP's he has succumbed to quite large injuries, or an illness. If he can avoid this, he will be a contender indoors and out - I think this will surprise some people.
