Before coming into the motocross season who are your biggest surprises and biggest disappointments from each class so far?
450 - Buy
Davalos - for sure I think has been the biggest surprise. He's been really good on that 450 and better then I think most people
thought he would be.
Bagget - We always knew he had it in him but this yer he started to put it together.
Wilson - Starting to put together some good finishes. Depleted field helps but you can only race with who lines up. Been a good year for Dean.
450 - Sell
Barcia - Another disappointing year overall for Barcia.
450 depth - Go look at 11-40th place last weekend. Is this the weakest field we have had in a long time?
250 - Buy
Osborne - He's been fast, pretty consistent and goes through the pack at will.
Ferrandis - He's got grit and speed and great style. Fitness seems to be there with that last lap pass on AC.
250 - Sell
Forkner. He started the year off with so much promise after results late in the year last year. Had a pretty forgettable rookie SX season. Not bad. Not good. Just ho-hum for him. I think everyone expected him to be a title contended in outdoors this year and that really never came into play.
Pro Circuit - too many mechanical's cost them early on.

250 buy - AP and AC
450 sell Seely or Bogle
250 sell Craig
Disclaimer no hate towards any rider
AC is a gamble too but not as big. Wonder if a change in scenery will finally allow him to unlock his full potential.
The Shop
250 Sell - JMart. (But I might buy him on a 450)
450 Sell - Webb. Biggest disappointment possibly.
450 Buy - Tomac. Potentially fastest in the world, and now he's learning patience.
Davalos... are you kidding me? I keep waiting for him to crash. Great job.
Bagget, I'm very happy for him and about time!
I thought & was hoping Ferandis would do well after a good Supercross season.
Forkner, yep, WTF??
Possibly sell AC. I know he's been hurt, he is getting close but not close enough.
Buy- every 250 Moto. Great, edge of your seats racing!
Sell- 250 consistency. Last race was crazy. 7–1 wins! AC goes from 1st to 4th O/A with getting passed last minute.
Remember Daytona?
Barcia? cautious hold until he gets on his third team later this year. JGR is a black hole where even the best can't get it together...
I usually have the same line of thinking you're applying to most riders, but I'm just giving AP the benefit of the doubt here.
I'm selling his 450 SX season but would be a buyer at 450 MX.
Pit Row
Buy - Musquin. I knew he was fast, but without that knee injury earlier, who knows what the championship might look like now. Here's to hoping he has at least 3 more years in the elite group.
Sell - Barcia. I still think he has it in him, but I was also a firm believer that Canard could string together a 450 series. Whoever gets his stock next might have better luck.
250
Buy - Osborne. 'Nuff said
Sell - The rest of the 250 field. Harsh, but man, Osborne sure does put on his spanking gauntlets every weekend, and make a mockery of these guys. When the smoke quit dissipating from his bike a few weekends ago, and he was struggling to stay in the top 10, guys were still afraid to pass him. There's some exceptionally talented guys in that class, but 2017 is not their year.
No way I'm buying Osborne right now. Way to pricey.
Like buying real estate in January of 2008.
Any brand...Honda, Suz, Yam, KTM, Husky would jump at the chance to sign this kid.
Hold: Savatgy
Buy: Plessinger...with his offroad pedigree...KTM or Husky would be smart to try to sign him
Selling Savatgy, Forkner, and Hill.
Selling, Baggett... I think we've seen his best, unfortunately. Reed, he'll never be competitive again, if he were a rookie everybody would say his results were terrible. Selling Justin Hill, selling savatgy,
Sold barcia long ago, I fear for his future as a Racer.
