2025 Supercross Season is here!

I thought 2024 SX pre-season hype about a stacked field was accurate last year. Well folks here we go again!

We even are blessed with an earlier start time so we don't have to stay up half the night in eastern half of the country.

Who are you picking to win?

I figured this was coming next year, but…
BOOM!

 

I'd love to see Eli go out on top, but I'm mostly hopeful that Jett is kept honest, everyone stays healthy and the season is interesting.

 

Since they are still using watered down tracks, I expect Jett to be fast out of the gate. I'd like to see Eli grab A1, if not like you said have Jett kept honest by the others.
The best thing that could happen this year is to throw at least a few tracks in that have more technical obstacles - longer whoop runs instead of the max 9, dragons backs, combo dragon/whoops or dragon/triples, taller, longer spread doubles and triples stuff we saw 7-10 years ago. And have those big whoops back instead of the half size they are lately. More challenging rhythm sections.
Let the old pros with more technical talent eat, rather than all these more open runs, fast sweepers and "easy" (for them) doubles/triples.
This year is packed with guys that can win, not much room for young guys moving up just yet. Next year Eli is out of SX, with Ken, Justin, Cooper, Jason all pretty close to an exit as well. Aaron and Malcolm are getting there.

Seeing what Ducati can do in SX will be fun...when they actually have bikes and riders to race. I believe that rig is only at A1 for some press, and they plan to do one or two SX events for testing this season, but that's about it.

 

5 out of 22 SX Champs on the gate Saturday is quite the stat

SONOFABITCH...

I've been off by a day or three over the past few weeks and I legitimately thought the race was tonight.

Fudge!

Multiple track maps had new rythems like the old dragon backs and more than 9 whoops. We'll see if they build them.

 

Daytona reserved seating tix are nearly sold out...

 

Would love to see Eli take the 'ship, but I'm in the "anyone but Jett" camp. Just don't like the guy.

 

Deegan doing Deegan things, "Jett couldnt ran with us, on 250's" Kid is a douche. Ski

 

Not far from the Apple tree

 

So what's the deal with this thing? They can't race it until it's actually a production bike on sale to the public right? Which is supposed to start summer 2025? So we won't see one racing until 2026 then?

 

I don't dislike Jett, but I don't want anyone running away with the championship. Super excited for the seasongto kick off

 

Anyone know if Stanks trying to Q on a 2T?
