2024 Supercross Thread

It's time to pick your winners and losers of 2022. Maybe pick up some tickets and meet your fellow Taco-heads at a race? I do have one prediction that I will share. Barcia #51 will win the first race. Why? He's done it the last two years in a row then settles back into obscurity for the rest of the season. See you guys in Oakland for round 2!

 

Let's Go!!!!

Cooper Webb's got the talent for the 450 class. Jett Lawrence for the 250 class. Is Haiden Deegan racing 250f this year or does he have to wait until next year?
I can't wait for the races.

 

Jett's got a neat mini series on red bull's YouTube channel.

It appears NBC Sports Network is no longer as of 1/1/2022.

Some races should be broadcast on USA, but if anyone has suggestions on where and how to watch the entire 2022 Supercross season without paying a large ransom to a tv subscription I'm all ears. Races start in a week!

 

Peacock TV. Essentially it's NBC tv but for $4.99 a month it's worth it. I watch all Supercross and outdoors events live, including qualifying.

Ferandis wins the 1st race, Tomac wins the Championship then will retire after outdoors.

Don't count Mookie out, longshot 1st race winner

 

I wish Tomac and Roczen would put in the effort the entire race and podium up top where they belong instead of burning out in the first 10 laps or saving it up until the final 3. Roczen hasn't been the same since his wrist injury or his deal with Honda really. Both are probably not far from retiring.

I can tell Dylan Ferrandis really wants the championship, but we'll see with his aggressive riding style. I think he spends more time bar banging and wrestling the other riders than he does blitzing the track.

My money is still on Cooper Webb. The dudes a bulldozer. He doesn't quit and is super focused on what he needs to do to win. As long as he's healthy he's got this.

 

Are any of you doing the Rocky Mountain atvmc fantasy supercross picks?

Deegan isn't racing pro yet. From following their channel it seemed like they're aiming for 2023 or 2024. I am super excited to see him mix it up with the big dawgs though. Gotta remember he is still 15 years old right now. Think he turns 16 this month.

 

Didn't know about it. I will now, thanks.

 

Josh Hill is coming out for Anaheim as a fill in... Don't think he's gonna be in contention for the win but looking forward to seeing him out on the track again!

 

Theres at least 10 riders that have a legitimate chance at winning a race. It's going to be a really good season.

 

For sure... there are a lot of really talented fast dudes right now. I've gotta say I'd love to see Barcia take the opening round again

 

I think there is a very good chance, dudes a great rider, just wish he could keep it going for the whole season.

 

You hit the nail on the head. He always starts off so strong I don't know what the issue is as the season goes on. He seems to really like that gas gas bike though.

 

I forgot about Mookie! He's training with Alden Baker this year. I'm hoping that will propel him to a bunch of podium finishes. He needs to drop some of that muscle mass and work on his cardio if he's going to hang with the other riders.

I saw this the other day. Posh setup with that Stewart family compound...

Same faces in new places..

Tomac to Yamaha
Plessinger to KTM
Mookie to Husky
Anderson to Kawasaki

Don’t count out Sexton if he can stay healthy

See y’all at Petco!
