2015 AMA Outdoor Nationals Discussion

So who is ready for the 30+2 long motos with 40 riders giving it their all?
Well it's that time again and atleast in 250 we're looking at a really good championship.

250; Obviously we got to count in the 2014 Champion of little Jeremy Martin and hopefully his team "mate" (haha get it? ) Cooper Webb, not currently sure what his status is after his injury at Las Vegas tho. Then we got Musquin, this being his last year in 250s and I would guess he is hungry for that number 1 plate. Sure there will be riders here and there maybe grabbing wins and podiums but I personally think it will be down to these three.

1.Musquin
2.Webb
3.J.Martin

I feel kinda bad for putting Martin in 3rd but this is just taking predictions after SX

450; With Villopoto out, Stewart out, Canard out (Most probably?) I think it will go down to Dungey and Roczen, if Roczen is 100% he will be hard to beat but Dungey got a pretty good shot at it. There is Tomac but he got some consistency to prove, and we also got Pourcel teaming up with Anderson. I doubt Seely will be a championship factor, he may show me wrong tho.

1.Dungey
2. Roczen
3.Baggett/Anderson/Tomac?

Yeah I probs forgot like 10 riders in each class so name them up

250 (450) Class
1st-Trey Canard
2nd-Ryan Dungey
3rd- Kenny (If he avoids "injury" and decides not to quit halfway through motos)

125 Class
1st-My boy Malcolm!
2nd-Musquin
3rd- Martin

My projections are super far-fetched, but I really think that Canard will have a lot of success if he stays healthy. Malcolm needs to get a bike with more power, because he has been good for 450's in the past.

Canard probably won't be there for a few rounds at least, and Malcolm won't be there at all

Malcolm won't be there at all

Malcolm still hasn't said if he's doing outdoors or not

I thought Malcolm said he was racing for Geico Honda in the nationals, but I may have heard that from a friend, so bump Musquin and Martin up a place and insert Webb into third.

I'm pretty sure Malcolm can't race because of the dehydration issues he had at that one race last year

Maybe he should invest in a large capacity water tank

[AWood]

Malcolm is fine. Is not racing outdoors unless he gets a 450 ride. As of right now. No plans. Trust me

[Anchor_b]

Would be cool if he could have just tried like his brothers spot on Suzuki or maybe Canards spot for a few rounds, anyone know if Mercalfe is takling the Millsaps spot for MX on Kawi?

Also I don't get how you could pick Malcom for the title or honesty even for wins. I guess it's a fan boy thing because I highly doubt he winning any 250 outdoor motos.

[Pumaxcs]

This tweet was made a few days after the Millsaps deal. Seems like an outdoors plan to me.

[Ddavis]

I'd love to see Malcolm fill in at Suzuki outdoors on James bike! That's a possibility for sure, too. Also, for nationals I'd leave the top 3 to Tomac, Dungey, Roczen, but I honestly think Seely will finish 3rd-4th in points and have a breakout season outdoors as well. The only person I see finishing ahead of him is Baggett (other than #1, 3, 5)

[Racers52]

I see Bagget in the top 5 if he gets a good start, I dont think he'll be able to push the 450 as hard as he did the 250 in the later part of the motos. Should be interesting to see though.

[Pumaxcs]

Daytona was Baggets best finish on 450, seems like Outdoors is still his thing.

[Anchor_b]

The fact that Baggett never really have been "Good" in SX compared to MX, I think he has a shot at some really good results. Being on a completly new bike, completly new team and even in the permier class he has actually done pretty decent if you ask me. Probably not a championship factor atleast this season but he seems to be getting along with the 450 pretty good.
