I know Plessinger is a really light hearted rider and likes to keep things fun and loose. But just like 2016 when Cooper Webb won the 250W supercross title and then the 250 outdoor national title and raced mxon he was burnt.
Can Plessinger handle everything that going on this year in addition to having a kid and have good rookie 450 supercross season? The premier class has an even larger learning curve and my fear is that he will have no time off this year and be burnt out. He's such a great guy for the sport and would love to see them succeed but I am worried about him doing too much this year with possibly moving to the 450 class next year.

In fact....don't we have Aaron , Osbourne , Jmart and Savatgy all moving up next year? On top of already getting Justin Hill in there. With who we have getting out and coming up through the 250's right now.....the American 450 is going to be stacked. Future is looking pretty bright indeed.
Aaron I think will move up and be a top 5 guy immediately.
Pit Row
add in a long term injury to one of them and someone already in the class in the next few years (not that i want that at all) but again history says, quite likely...
i dont think the 450s will be stacked as some say..
i hope it is tho
I get that people have different feelings and opinions on the subject and religion may come into it but at 22 years old and the peak of his career I think he should have waited. He's got plenty of years ahead of him for that.
Totally different mindsets. Webb is a cocky kid that expected to win right away. He failed trying too hard and is now lost. The change of scenery may relight that fire. Time will tell.
Plessinger seems to be more of a lighthearted person and is willing to fight for his success. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I was DeCoster, I'd skip over Webb and roll a wheelbarrow of money at Plessinger when his contract is done. I think he's the best all around 250 rider by a long margin. I think he'll be easily running top 10 and may be top 5 his first year on 450's.
When I say this, I consider Osborne a 450 rider at this point. That kid will work tirelessly to achieve his goals.
Comparing CW and AP is like comparing apples and oranges. Way different people.
