I'm not saying Indy is wrong, but for his 1st year in the 450 class, top 5 will be very, very difficult.

Ferrandis was a shark in a guppy pond when in the 250's. Now he's just chum to get the established stars worked up and in a frenzy.

5th is a bold prediction, for sure.  But had he said 11th, I'd have been cracking up for about a solid week.  🤣

I guess it does Indy, he stepped up to the plate and claimed a top 5 for DF right? I'll let him off the hook on that if DF has an injury, but if he is relatively healthy throughout the season I agree with him that a top 5 is what a successful season looks like for DF. He's 26 years old PRIME age for a racer, he's with the exact same team, on literally the exact same chassis, only the motor has changed. @Chaconne with his 11th place is pulling the old lower the expectation to raise the average Yamaguys are famous for. 

Props to Indy for calling it like it should be and having a set of balls.

Yeah for sure.  I respect him calling his shot, and making a realistic prediction, not just low balling it to avoid being wrong.

LOL. Where are you guys when it come to a prediction for Barcia????

New KTM fan logo. Chicken is the National bird of Austria I guess... LOL

Tomac will not successfully defend his crown. One & Done.

Webb will be incredibly hungry, but ultimately will fall short.

Roczen is the perfect racer and has no deficiencies in his program. He would be King, if it wasn't for his arms.

Osbourne is better Outdoors, but will surprise people this season.

AC will steamroll over his teammate this Indoor season, and will come close to bringing home the crown.

JA21 is looking towards longevity instead of Titles. He's past his peak.

MS is on another new bike, but has mad skills. He will shake things up.

Barcia destroyed Webb when both were on Blue, and they don't like one another. One word, "Fireworks".

Sexton is a rookie this season. He will contend for wins/podiums, but will have off races too.

MM is another that is at his peak, or slightly past it. Life is neither fair nor just, and MM will not be a SX Champ.

Ken hasn't done well in sx even when healthy , too often crashing

 

I don't rate him as highly as you

Why do I see Jason Anderson as not a top guy anymore? 

Because everyone assumes he lazy because he left his overrated trainer.

Whats up with BB4?

Left his team and had a cyst removed from his wrist. He won’t race supercross and from what I hear the chances of retirement is a serious possibility.

Malcom still a beast in the whoops as his helmet cam from the star practice session shows. He was catching and passing the entire star team in the whoops. Only DF wasn't there.

Not that as training is not rocket science IMO,  he had a unconventional manner that served him well.

Seems he had a way of sticking his bike in a spot of convince like RJ did.  He exploited opportunity and now not so much.

F ups happen if you half ass the whoops too. Might as well just blitz em hard and hope for the best.

The guy hasn't been the same since his SX title 

His crash at the practice track in January 19 did him in

Aside from his 2 big get offs (one was trying to takeout Webb), my perception is that he blows starts and gets like 8th or something.  He has too many off nights, it doesn't take much.
