Which 250 Rider Moving Up To The 450s Will Do The Best In 2019?

Savatgy.

I'm not sure Plessinger will have the big impact everyone is anticipating right off the bat. He's going from a bike that many people have had a lot of success on, to a bike that most people have struggled to adapt to. I know that makes me sound like a hater, but I hope AP7 proves me wrong.

I see Zach as a podium threat outdoors, but I think Plessinger has a higher ceiling indoors for some reason. I don't think we will see that this season though. If his 250 career was an indication, this will probably be a learning year indoors for Aaron.

Unless Seattle is a mud race. No bets against him in the mud!

I expect ups and downs for both Hill and Savatgy, but think AP and Zach will finish higher than either of them overall in both series.

I see Joey top 10 consistently, he is a pretty good starter. Ap7 top 5 then 12th depending on the start. Zach's style is what scares me on the 450. He likes to hang off the bike and twist it and stay in it. That can bite you quick on a 450 as we have seen In the past. If zach can smooth out just slightly i see him being the top performing rookie.
