Assuming this won't be a very popular one but is anyone interested in Supercross? Been following it for a few years for reasonzzz and really enjoying it! Admittedly only the 450's but Jett Lawrence is far and away superior and is bookies fav to win the championship again this year.

Anaheim1 tomorrow evening, don't usually stay up but will watch on Sunday AM.

I struggle to get into it; I dislike all the hype and OTT of it all. It's a National series, which people seem to forget.......and the tracks don't do anything for me; too artificial, with endless whoops on nearly every track.

Jett this, Eli that,......

MXGP has the 'Bullet' who is as talented, and as fast as them.

Anaheim 1 was two week ago chap!!

I do watch it moist years, but it usually gets a bit samey, and the same with MX usually there is one dominant guy or guys they run away and win easily, I got heavily into it a few years ago when Villopoto came over but he got hurt early and I lost interest.

One thing to be very aware of, the two are very very different, it is highly unlikely that even Gods like RC or McGrath would have been able to go over the MXgp and dominate as they did in America.

Prado is over there now and is top 10ish,. 30 seconds behind winners, not even the same game yet.

I know it was, check the date of my OP!

I didn't think the thread would get much traction. Not a bad start to the season, mixed winners so still anyones game really.

Sadly as there is very little or no coverage int he UK it gets no attention anywhere.

I think Jett might be out for a but now sadly, Tomac is as Tomac always has been, wins with a start, top 6 otherwise, Roczen is consistent for a change and a few others look good.
