On Pulp he said he might race Unadilla, he also said he's not sure about anything else yet. He wants to race MXON again this year though! 

It's Kenny and it's arguably his best track. He's only on the bike for a couple weeks now, but I wouldn't be surprised if he podiums. Might get a good start, lead some laps and then gets passed by Chase. Fresh Kenny is a dangerous Kenny, but nobody beats Chase now.

Based on last year, I would think he will be a solid top 5 guy.  Right now Sexton, Hunter, Plessinger, and Anderson are all hauling.

Wasn't Plessinger battling with Kenny for the lead actually at Unadilla a couple years ago before he like backflipped and completely destroyed his bike? He ain't bad at that track right.

Kenny has the ability to help Chase pad his points lead for sure.

With only a few weeks back on the bike I wouldn't expect Kenny to be anywhere north of 3-5th place. Even that might be a big ask.

I expect him to podium Unadilla if he races and so does he.

I don't think he'd race if he doesn't feel like he can compete for a podium.
Not sure about beating Chase but anybody else I wouldn't be surprise if he beat

As far off of the lead as the other fast guys have been at the finish of these motos so far, I think Kenny can reasonably top 5 it, no problem.

On a side note, Im pretty sure results wise thunder valley is kennys best track. 5 OA and 7 moto wins. 

Gonna be great to see him finally race again tho

It would surprise me if he was on the podium, but then again……..it wouldn’t!

KR seems to do great after a break, I expect him in the top 5. Or 27th. Whatever he does, I’ll be happy to see him back!

I know he only raced 1 outdoor last year + MXoN, but he's on the same bike and same suspension. Eli is on a totally new bike that took him half the SX season to get comfy with, and has yet to race it outdoors.

They both share one thing...experience.  At this point its more about where their head is than anything else.

If you think Eli Tomac can jump in mid-season and run down guys like Marshal Weltin, Grant Harlan, or Harry Kullas, you're out of your mind. 10-15th if he's lucky. He should just retire now and save any dignity he has left...

Has to be.

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see ken lead 3-4 laps, and finish 4th-7th.

I figured the sarcasm would be clear, maybe I miscalculated a bit.

Ken came off the couch last year for MXoN and won against the best in the world. He also holeshotted his Kickstart paperweight against the baddest most expensive factory machines in the world. 

Ken is going to Unadila with the mindset to win, and I think it will depend on which Chase Sexton turns up if that happens or not.

With only a few weeks back on the bike I wouldn't expect Kenny to be anywhere north of 3-5th place. Even that might be a big ask.

I don't know how many times people have to doubt this guy. I would honestly be surprised if he finished worse than 3rd oa. Last year he came back for one round with less than a couple weeks on a throw together practice bike, then went out and led more laps in that one round than any other rider aside from Jett did in the whole season...

and then, in other thread here in vital, lots of people expect tomac, that doesnt race motocross since 2022, to be a clear podium guy.......

Same suspension? Wouldn’t count on that
