Official 2016 Supercross Thread

Here is the specs http://www.altamotors.co/redshiftmx/#redshiftmxpage1

 

I was disappointed by the MEC this year. To many guys and teams either didn't have rides or the team decided to skip.

 

Some pretty cool stuff going on at straight rhythm this year... I was really surprised by Hansen challenging Dungey like he did and landing on the podium! And Josh Hill showing what that electric bike is capable of was very cool. The thing was so quiet! I was bummed at how few of the big names were actually there though. It was pretty much just the guys sponsored by Red Bull. Haha. Had KRoc, Tomac, Bubba, Anderson, and the others been there it would have been a very different result. Though Musquin was killing it and definitely deserved that win.

 

Let's get this one going again, boys. A1 this weekend. Who you got? I know everyone is all hyped about KRoc on the new Honda, but I'm going against the grain. I think Webb can run up front. Call me crazy lol.

 

Im going to A1!!! @Styx586 you going? Supercross season is here finally!!! I'd like to see Webb the rook do well, i think Marvin is going to have a great year too. Weird not to see James in the mix, and i've got to root for my all time favorite Mr. Consistent Dungey. Did you see the press conference? Kroc in a suit and tie, looked sharp and defended it well when asked why. Maybe Andersen wins A1 again?? We've got to start a new thread for 2017 supercross

 

Not sure what to make of the suit thing. I can see his reasoning but I can also see why some of the other riders seemed to not like it (taking it as cockyness, basically). It's also odd that ppl are basically writing the defending champ off, as a threat to win again. It's like everyone is so wrapped up in Roczen, especially with the debut of this new CRF (which I feel is a good bike, but certainly more hype than anything). We will see. Like you said, RD is always consistent. I just hope for an exciting series, no matter what. Oh, and I got JMart in 250 West. He needs a 250 Regional SX title before he moves to the 450s. I think he's hit some bad luck last 2 SX seasons, so I see as being on a mission to get it done.....all just my opinion, of course. Who knows.

 

Hoping to see Tomac, Roczen and Dungey make it a series long battle...throw Reed in the mix too just for hanging in there. I think Webb will probably do well also but I'm not certain he'll be in contention this year (yet). Wonder if Pieck and Friese have made up since the season opener last year?

 

I'm not sure if I want Tomac or Roczen to win. Roczen seems corky, but has not done much in Supercross but I like him. I like Tomac, but I don't see the fire in his heart.
Webb will have a few flash races, but I don't see him as a threat till next season at the earliest.
I am disappointed in not having the Stewart brothers racing...

 

^-- last I heard the Stewart brothers are racing tonight.

 

Everything I have seen in the past few days indicates they are starting their own team, but not entering till Oakland.
I hope I'm wrong and they race tonight. No shot of winning if your not there.

 

Great race tonite. I wont spoil it. Alessi took a hard fall, had to be carried off. Didnt see James or Malcolm.
