2019 Supercross

[John250]

I watched the preview show over the weekend. The 450 class is going to be stacked. There are 15 guys that could realistically if they get a good start win a race this year. Much tougher than in some years past where a few 3 digit guys get in the 450 main.

Tomac is going to be tough though. I look for a new Barcia to emerge this season though, and I think he is battling for wins and top 3s on a regular basis this year. Plessinger might have a small learning curve, but I look for him to be a 250 guy that can come in and run up front, and be aggressive. Roczen will be there too. Marvin and Webb. Will DeCoster be what Webb needs to put him up front on the 450? Should be interesting for sure.

I can answer the Webb question.. NO.
This time most every year the class looks stacked. After three rounds some are hurt and others are running mid pack at best.
Fingers crossed on AP. He looks like the real deal and have said all along he will be a great big bike boy.
259 Stew factory Cagiva.

Heard AP7 had some sort of minor injury while testing a while back, that's why he did not race overseas. So hopefully he is 100% at A1

I don’t think web can be consistent. Too emotional. IMO. If Tomacs Kawi breaks down and it will. He may get a win.

What’s the most likely to happen?
A. Jason Anderson repeats as champion.
B. Tomac wins his first championship.
C. Roczen gets threw whole season healthy.
D. Webb wins his first 450 main.
E. A rookie wins a main event this season.
I’ll go with A.

 

[Double D]

Eh. Ok.

Going to be some kickass racing this year!

 

[weaver658]

A few rule changes this year. Teams will now be allowed two bikes for the triple crown events. So if a rider crashes and his bike is to bent to fix, they have a back up bike. The “main events” for the triple crown will now all be the the same length each race, 250 class is now 10 minutes plus one lap. The 450 class is now 15 minutes plus one lap.

45 mins of mains for 450! Holy jeebus

 

[John250]

Someone on vital is saying one of the 450 rookies is hurt and out. But did not say who. I know it's not AP7, so one of the other three?

 

[ChubbyCat113]

I hope it's not true especially since I put Savatgy 3rd in my fantasy sx LOL

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

I’m gonna go and say roczen wins the championship. He’s gonna do it slighlty busted up as well. But it’s his year.

The dude is squatting on 1 leg holding a 70kg kettle bell.......ha for sure training up his body to take a pummeling.

 

[weaver658]

The 450 class mains are 12 minute races in the triple crown format. My apologizes.

 

[weaver658]

Zach O out 4-6 weeks with a collarbone injury. Bad break for Zach.

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

No pun intended ?

JA21 Defends. Dungey formula.

Looks like Tickle has an attorney - “The FIM and Monster Energy Supercross are conspiring to intentionally and unlawfully interfere with my fundamental rights and ability to make a living.” is not the vernacular of the typical motocrosser.

B and E. And I'm not talking about bacon and eggs.

Hill has the best chance. On a super gnarly track. I wouldn't be surprised if any of the rooks sneak in a win to be honest.
