What is the prediction of Vital users? Between Osborne and Hill, who's more likely to repeat and why? Can they both do it? Is it possible that neither rider will repeat? Tell me your thoughts.
I think the change is good for Hill and it is a weird advantage for him that everyone is so vocal on the Suzuki being the worst bike. I think they'll get a pretty good setup that their riders can do well on (without feeling overload of expectations). That said, he has a lot of competition on his coast!
I don't think Hill will finish in the top 5 overall. Can't believe that he went from the only team that he could win on to JGR.
The guy might prove me wrong but he is facing a uphill battle already on the Suzuki.
Osborne is more likely to repeat based on no changes to the bike/team, and a lot of times the East Coast guys are normally guys coming off injury (Smith, Forkner, Nichols, Ferrandis, etc.) and are riding into shape. He has class veterans Jeremy Martin, Davalos, and RJ Hampshire that have been healthy and will pose a challenge. But not nearly the amount of heavy hitters that Justin Hill will have to defend against. Hill has to beat title threats Cianciarulo, Savatgy, McElrath, Plessinger, Alex Martin, and Craig.
Hill can do it again, but Osborne's program is solid and if money is on the line on either or, Osborne would be the favorite to repeat.
West Is a shot in the dark so many people can win but my top 3 would be ac/ap/cc and east it's going to be the Jmart and Osborne show I think everyone got scared of Osborne and went west but I got Jmart to win the east

I was just about to say the same. I think ZachO has the better shot. He was an animal last year, and the east coast looks pretty depleted.
Osborne is hungry; I really feel like he wants more wins and titles. IMO 2018 will be a repeat of 2017 for him; he'll get another SX title and be a front runner outdoors.
Definitely Osborne. Of the title contenders in the East, JMart, Smith and Davalos are the only other guys who have won races. In the West, AMart is the only one who hasn't won one yet (emphasis on yet).

the Oz man.
he's carrying momentum and confidence from last year and he's hungrier.
its like looking at RC vs Kdub. Hard work and heart vs natural talent. hill relies too much on talent
I'm going with Osborne. Pardon the pun but Hill has been up and down lately, wile Zach has been rock solid. Oh that last lap for the Chamionship... Zach was rolling!
Hill going to what is pretty much a 1st year 250 team is a large disadvantage IMO. He can still win for sure but it only takes 1 mechanical to be out of the points race.
