McGrath better watch out!!

I guess they should just cancel the rest of the season and hand the trophy over to MC. :rolleyes:

I would hate to predict anything this year. I will say that Jeremy rides exceptionaly well at Anaheim so it was no surprise. There are a number of riders capaple of pushing him past his normal zone this year. It is a LOOOOOOOOONG season

 

[Senior KX Rider]

The more he is pushed, the higher the chances of that. I have been a McGrath fan forever and still am but I don't think the series will be dominated by anyone this year. Without anyone dominating it could be a very good year for LaRocco.

THAT would be the cat's . . . meow!

I would LOVE to see LaRocket get his first SX championship! I used to think he was a <insert appropriate expletive here>, but I guess he's just shy, and his old man was most of the problem.

LaRocco winning the championship, that would just about make my year!

I second the vote for LaRocco. Maybe Ezra can put McGrath on his head a few more times this year. I yearn for the good old days, Hannah vs DeCoster, Hannah vs Howertown Lechien vs Johnson LaRocco vs Kiedrowski. Heck even Bailey and Johnson were known to trade paint. Not this 'after you' mentality in the corners nowadays. Guess they must be worrying about scuffin the sponsors stickers or maybe it hurts to fall on all those piercings.

I guess you all how I feel now! :)

I agree. This year is not likely to be as civil as it has been in years past.
Too many people going fast to be friendly about passing

larocco is mr. consistency.

if a couple of the front runners were to get tangled and get hurt, larocco could be sitting in the catbirds seat.

his chances would improve if he could just get a start.

 

[slo' mo]

too many wildcards, especially with Travis moving up. It's not going to be get the holeshot and stay consistent anymore. I think we are in for a wild year, and wouldn't want it any other way. They still have to knock MC off the throne and he isn't going to go quietly, but I think the awe factor is somewhat less this year.

MC may have one the first battle, but the war is far from over! :p Add another fan for number 5!

 

[chaiyz]

I would suggest a nice merlot with that crow. You know who you are. It was an awesome race and R.C. deserves it!!!

I thought it would be fun to bring back this thread. What do you think, 4strokeVET? :)

Very funny to read!!! :confused:

Not many were buying RC being a serious contender - let alone doing it in the fashion he has (10 wins straight and taking all but 2 of the first 3 races). If it wasn't for Anaheim - RC might sweep the season!! Very cool season - that's all I have to say. :D

And good call on those who predicted it!!! And those who knocked the idea of RC winning - it's okay - we'll still listen to your other crazy ideas! :)

I just searched to bring this back up and i see someone else had the same idea a month ago, 4strokevet, uh a little off aye. this season was something else.

I didnt think RC would dominate like he has, i only thought he would be a threat.

Any picks for the Nationals?

RC would be hard to beat especially with all of that momentum he has, I can only see 2 people trying and that is Ryno (really honed his outdoor skills in Euroland) or Tortelli, Carmichaels only comp last year.

Longshot vote LaRocco. i am not putting him down it is just that he doesnt push the limit like those other three. I see LaRocco staying in his typical pattern of hovering on the bottom two steps of the podium.

 

[Senior KX Rider]

Don't think anyone can match RCs speed outdoors. Someone may have an exceptional day and beat him but the Number 1 plate should remain his. :cool: :cool:

 

[BBB]

I have to agree, RC is fast in SX right now, but he is scary fast outdoors. And we all know that the Nationals is lots harder than SX. Heat, humidity, ruts from hell and WFO speeds. Nobody but LaRocket has the fitness level to challenge Ricky in that setting. Heck the field is getting whipped indoors in the A/C, just wait till its 95 degrees and 100% humidity. UGH. Barring injury, I just dont see anyone taking that #1 plate away from Flying Freckles.

Wouldnt it be cool if Bayle stepped up to the plate and got some podiums? LaRocco has proved that you can defy age with training and grit,, it would be nice to see a yellow bike in with that Green Machine and the Hondas. :cool:

We have been lucky to have watched Jeremy over the years, but this Ricky C. is a true phenom. I have never seen such a dominating rider in the last 30 years. I wonder whats going to happen when some of the other kids who worked their way through the Team Green program get to the 250 pros. Like James Stewart. Its gona be a show. Travis won't survive, even though I would like him too. He's going to be broken too often.

My bet is if Ricky doesn't break something, he will dominate for several years.

 

[PanicRev]

Yea, you've definitely got a point!... and im tellin yall for sure, James Stewart is really going to shock the sport. Just wait. :cool:

 

[PTCruiser]

This'll be interesting to see. Ricky "seems" to be riding a ragged edge outdoors but he keeps it upright. One of Jeremy's true talents seemed to be the ability to make it thru the season(s) without really getting hurt. If RC can do that then watch out!

 

[TWright43]

bringin this one from way back, kinda funny to look at now i guess
