Tomac is the REAL chupacabra.
Roczen is doing very well for not knowing the tracks!Consistant as well!
I'm not knocking Roczen but I don't think his knowledge of the track has much to do with it. Most of these tracks have at least some changes to the layout each year and they never shape up the same even if they don't change anything. K Roc is doing great for the competition he is up against and I believe he will win one very soon and once he gets a taste of victory I see many more to follow.
Roczen, (KROC the Unfrozen Caveman Motocrosser), still could get a wild hair and start kicking ass! There are a lot of races to go.
This class is the one to watch this year. They're all hungry for this championship. Tomac seems to be getting dialed in more than in the past. It seems like he's getting the formula to win figured out. To me, Roczen might need to step up his intensity to go balls out for the whole moto. Baggett's ride at Hangtown showed everyone the speed it's going to take to win. He needs more of those rides to secure this championship. And, I think Barcia is taking the steady route by letting the series come to him. If any of these guys can win the next 2 or 3 in a row. That will be a huge boost. Whoever pulls it off, it's going to be fun to watch. I just wish the 450 class race for the championship was as close as these guys are.
Would love to see this poll after a Bagget win. I dunno when Tomac hasn't won he has usually been 4th. When Bagget doesn't win he has been podium. I still think Bagget is in control
I know Bagget got 4th this week. I am talking as a whole though. Bagget has won 3 motos and had one moto finish not in the top 3. Tomac has had 3 moto wins and quite a number of fourths.
It is close. But Tomac seems to be hit or miss running a whole moto with intensity. Moto 1 Hangtown he was matching Bagget and just fizzled out. Same thing Moto 2 at Colorado. Gotta love bench racing. So close between these 2. I can't see anyone else being title favorites
Very tough choice between Bagget and Tomac. Both have shown their speed can be incredibly faster than anyone else out there. They've handed some motos over with bad starts, but they should rise to the top and battle with only each other by the end. Roczen has done well, a little confidence and he could certainly be a threat for wins. Barcia has the starts and that's about it over the other three, that'll only carry him for so long.
I say thr Geico camp is in control...both 17 and 20 won supercross titles were there focus was directed fully..Baggett said he gave up on supercross and started focusing on outdoors early...Geico is getting faster..Bagget has peaked. KRoc will get it dun next year.
