The 250 class has quickly become the most exciting class to watch. I cannot wait for Pala 💯
@@jakeowens1770 Follow your dreams
It almost always is. The 450 class has the big names, but the guys are almost too good to allow for much parody. 250 guys get wild, and that leads to fun championships more often than not.
it’s been that way since 2007
Nah have to disagree for me its Hunter Lawrance lining up right next to Jason Anderson and having Malcome Stewart or Jett Lawrance on the other side of Ando ....... bring the mouth punching fire works on 😂😂😂😂😂😂 won't happen unless it's off the gate Ando dosnt have the speed to run with two of those guys, but Justin Cooper will be the quiet achivet here though sneaky fast outdoors and we didn't get to see that last year due to his deal it might be a series of Rookies and young guys Sexton, Lawrance's and Cooper outside of that with Webb, Tomac, Plesinger and Roczen injured the race is on for 2nd place because none of those injured guys were consistently going to beat Jett
@@Sh1tstir You never really know who is going to win in the 250 class and we have had some crazy battles this year. The 450 class is way too predictable now and it kills the fun for me.
Daniel Blair and Philthy Phil Nicoletti for the broadcast commentary booth 👍👍
Oh man! that would be awesome! They should just do a youtube live during the broadcast, so we can mute the TV and listen to them
@@jacobglauser4390I agree so much with this. Why not do this. Would be actually incredible.
Oh Please! I am so tired of Hearing RC Repeat his tired Analysis? "During" and" instead of" just describing the Racing We can't See! We only see 5% of the Race? And hear even less! Paul Malin is Awesome! Watch MXGP race Coverage. And you will experience professional Race Commentary. And Perfect Camera Work! Not just close ups of leaders!
hell yeah start a new broadcast that would be insane.
The people have spoken, and if you don’t do this, just… why?!
I’m so glad you are doing this for motocross as well. This season is going to be insane!!!!!
The only thing on RUclips that I watch at normal speed. Thanks DB for the best moto content 👍👍
It's pretty sweet at 1.5, seems more precise and forceful.
I really miss you buddy we still have the track that you helped make and one of the Grandsons is scaring me because of how good these GAS GAS 65’s are he thinks the way you did ( I can jump that PaPa) it easy get a hold of me when you have time ❤🙏
HOD BLESS Buddy
Feels like Talladega nights with the American vs the Frenchman. Heiden Deegan is Ricky Bobby!!
Please don't disrespect Ricky Bobby like that !!!
Like it DB ✌️.. Gonna be a BLAST all summer ✊🔥💪✌️
"joey savatgy has gotta be the fav" .. i have joey in 6th? what
I think you are right on point Daniel with your 250 analysis. Really enjoy your insightful commentary and look forward to your 450 review,
100% agree, I think Vialle takes outdoor too 👌🏼🔥
Man, my fav podcast/review show at The momment 🎉🎉
I love Daniel Blair man.
Could all end in tears 😭 in the first turn! Going to be carnage with all the egos in 250😂
Ohhhh, that last line should fire up Deegan... I'm not saying you are wrong, but I am hoping that you are. I'm ready to see another Ricky Bobby vs. Jean Girard this entire outdoor season!
Coffee and Moto with DB!
I'm hoping this cool weather last til Pala. Using a jacket in the morning would be very nice.
great as always!
Man! Well done Daniel!
Outstanding DB 🫡
Enjoyed the 250 hype up Mr. Blair.
Agree 100 bro loved the breakdown at then end. Keep up the great content
Agreed 250s are on ,looking forward to outdoors ,also indoors next up ,thanks DB
I like the top ten predictions
I think your spot on 🙌
I'm pulling for my main man RJ!!! Making us Florida Boys proud!!!!
This guy is incredible
I like your take on JS17. The Triumph looks better than expected and he's only been riding mx for past few months. Excited to see how he does. Vialle and Deegan are going to war this summer.
Surprised he didn’t have one of the young guns in the top 10, I think Dax and/or Hymas end up there in the final standings.
Marv’coaching is the huge difference in Vialle 🎉
Throwing the heat this morning
Solid prediction 😉
Bold but respectable!👏
Brave predictions for the 250 class DB, but I like 'em.
TV has got this.
you know Deegan grew up riding pala practically his backyard track. look for him to come out swinging settin a statement for the motocross season opener. kid is 100 percent as far as the wrist injury goes he will definitely be a title contender this season is going to be awesome
Yup Deegan got 2nd last year and will win the opener and have the championship locked up before the last race....
@@MWA78 Yeah right. Haiden won't be top 3 when this season ends.
Hi you are100%correct.deegans wrist is good.training hard..looks unreal in recent vids outdoors.great field lot talent..great for sport.deegan will be very quick!!
Dam your good at this❗️
Hate your not on the broadcast but this is Great…thank you!
Def need to combine the 250 class for Supercross. It would be way more exciting like Mx will be
That finishing prediction seems fair. A lot of riders will be mad with it.
I think it’s gonna be a three way battle for the title between Kitchen, Deegan and Vialle. Shimoda will be in the mix here and there. I have Joey in the 5-8 range. Very excited to watch this class.
Shimoda will be a top contender. He finished 3rd overall last year, which was ahead Deegan, Vialle, and Kitchen, and he was 2nd to Jett the year before.
@@seanhaberman4619 this is the typical hype every pre-season, but history has shown Jo will build slowly, until it's too late for him to make up the points gap in front of him, and then he will start contending for overall wins. I think the other guys will start the season placing higher, and be more consistent at the front.
@@RyansResolveI think this year is different for Jo. He looks good coming off his last couple of SX races and I think he has matured in regards to his mindset. Jo will be better early in the season and should be a title contender.
@@seanhaberman4619 like I said, this has been the same narrative for years now. Literally the same exact thing year after year, and every season he builds slowly until it’s too late and he’s out of contention. I’m a Jo fan, I want him to succeed it, but as far as him being a title contender, I’ll believe it when I see it.
@@RyansResolve we will have to wait and see. There's no debate that he can beat anybody out there when he is feeling it. I'm just saying that this season he is coming in with a different situation than last year and the guys that beat him before are all gone.
Even if Jo is slow to start, he's only lost to Jett, Hunter, and Justin the last 2 years. They're all in the 450 class now. It only makes sense that Jo will be a front runner this year.
Coty Schock will race 250s outdoors this year!
Gonna be a great summer, let's see how 16/38 deal with each other 🤙🏼
DB 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🏍️💨
Oof savagty? Would not have guessed that pick
Tom’s learning curve has been so step in sx from last yr to this year. If he has half of that from sx he will be dangerous
Vialle won the title by 4 points. Lets say Hammaker doesnt ride with a concusssion, wreck thenfoeld and isnt given orders to take out Deegan so McAdoo and Forkner can get a bigger lead. 4 points turns into -30 real fast. Look out in Outdoors Deegan is gonna make Tom look like a rookie again. Add Shimoda and Kitchen in that mix, RJ tends to crash. But Vialle is facing the while field how did he do again in the showdowns?
Is Brappp coming back for the summer?
250 class has become the field to watch for sure. ( the primary argument for eliminating east/west SX)
I do think Joey Savatgy is a threat. Consider that he is really good. Consider that the Triumph ( In my opinion ) has proved that it is on par with the field, look at Swoll's results and starts. Consider that Joey has been riding outdoors and developing the Triumph for almost a year! That thing is dialed!
I expect Joey to come out swinging in full send , no prisoners.
What a season it will be in the 250 class.
450 will be interesting next year as Prado joins the party, and maybe Vialle will move to 450's
It’s vialle and deegan in the top 2. Don’t know yet who will win the title but it’s definitely between those two 👍🏻
Daniel Blair is Hands Down the Best Replacement For RC/ Bubba? Why do we have to Miss the Racing Because RC ignores It? He does analysis instead of Describing the Race! WTF
I do think tom vialle and deegan are favorites. Deegan needs to be more consistent with starts to make his season for manageable
100% correct
Kitchen will be the man outdoors, he is gonna take an early lead on Shinoda and Deegan. They might seap gor wins and possibly the red plate RJ is gonna do ok, but those austian bikes arent good outdooors and its easy to override them and crash.
Statement!
Vialle, Kitchen, Deegan in that order at the end of the season
Danger
Kitchen
Tom
Swoll
Shimoda…THATS MY FAB FIVE
Good pick
It wasn’t four straight years where guy who won supercross also won outdoors, Jett didn’t win supercross but won outdoors in 2021
Jett goes undefeated outdoors, unless he lets his brother win a race.. and danger boy takes the title 😜 let's gooo deggs
Is max anstie not racing motocross? Heard he may be going to star Yamaha but is that supercross only?
I think Jo bounces back after the bad luck in sx and wins this thing easily
DB the G
2 x mxgp champ look Vialle can ride absolutely no doubt, now with track/dirt knowledge hes going to be tough to beat. There will be shots fired between HD38 and TV16 i think Tom could have a sneaky nasty streak that will play if pushed and Deegans been running his mouth at Tom all year rightly or wrongly buy at the end of the day Shimoda sorts his shit and gets it done while the other 2 crash each other out .....
Why do all the Kawasaki 250 riders wind up permanently injured? I hope Kitchen changes teams before he winds up like that.
Sometimes it's a bike failure like Jo's bike quitting last year before SX, other times it's just the guys that Mitch picks. He's got the oldest factory team in the pits, yet none of his guys have ever been able to put it together.
Mitch does not recruit 4stroke guys. They are always the top am kids that ride on rails. Even physically they arnt built to ride 4 strokes. Am needs to have more 4 stroke racing. These guys are picked out pretty much when they are on 125s. It's crazy.
Deegs, vialle, Jordan, Joey, rj should be a legit battle. But it never turns out that way some kid steps up and gives a vet a run.
Its giving ray william johnson😂
Lets go Tommy!
Whats the over/under on number of years when an American rider dominates MX/SX again? 5?
It might be easier to get a top 5 in 450, than a top 10 in 250.
Someone should move up now before round 1, so they can score more points and enter 450 SMX which pays much higher.
Who should move up?
you guys act like they can just "move up" , they ride for a team. They dont decide where they ride
@@LetBrockBye star yamaha, HRC honda, Clubmx yamaha, TLD gasgas, redbull KTM, and HUS have both 250 & 450 teams.
The riders and team managers could absolutely sit down together and come to an agreement about what bike to race.
It's also been reported that Forkner has a 450 ride guaranteed in his contract.
The only riders that have no chance are Triumph.
I think it's good time for some of the older riders who dont have much chance at the 250 title to move up.But if you disagree, thats fine. Thank you for your opinion.
@@vausravy I’m not saying I disagree, but it’s not as easy as you make it sound. If they have no chance at a 250 title why would a team put them on a 450 where they certainly have no chance? And if they have no chance at a 250 title why would you care if they stay?
@@LetBrockBye Don't get me wrong, I don't think any current 250 has a chance at the 450 title. And i didn't say that.
5th on a 450 gets more TV time than 10th on a 250, which is better for their sponsors. And pays more, thats what i meant.
My money’s on Tom! For 250 Motocross! 💯👊
DB Joey's not on a 450?
My thoughts exactly. How is he allowed back in 250? Losing a lot of respect for that class the more I learn.
If he doesn't wad himself up one round... I really think that Joey "The Savage" Savatgy will be in the title hunt all the way to Ironman.
the last thing i want to see is unpredictability i want to see great riding and PROFESSIONAL racing and strict adherance to the rules, you sure aint speaking for me or any of my friends we like the 450's best because they are the fastest sheesh
Lol. Savatgy is not a favorite for the title. Hell, I will be shocked if he makes it thru every round healthy. If you don’t race every round you cannot win a title. When was the last time he did that?
Ya idk y they put high expectations for guys who haven’t raced for months. He’s goin against kids who dgaf abt their body’s or whatever risk they need take to get an edge and savagty def isn’t riding like that
How can Haiden not be the favorite? He would have been SX champ if two freak crashes on the starts didn’t happen that were others rider’s faults, AND he is even stronger in MX!
One of those crashes was his fault and Tom Vialle got it worse at round 1. Tom beat him fair and square.
Plus RJ and Levi were both faster than him in SX this year.
And Fairy?😂
Grandpa RJ is hardly a title threat. He is way too sketchy to pull off a sx and Mx title in the same year, if at all.
RJ is about as sketchy as danger kid, maybe even a little less.
Hymas is riding for a contract, so if he doesn’t do anything, he will be looking for a ride.
Jordon gonna RJ, nine times out of ten.
How can you say hammaker gets hurt to much???? Without saying the same for forkner , I don’t know how forkner has keep his ride🤷♂️
Vialle for the title, Ricky Bobby crashes tantrums and excuses
I don’t like the 250 east west shootouts being for points. It was way better when it was just the last round and not for points, all about pride.
“Wasn’t supposed to lose”… the entitlement is disgusting. Go Tom.
Entitlement? How do you blame the kid for what someone else says about him😂😂😂 and dB wasn't wrong. Who knew tom would have been so ready and consistent this sx season?
Didnt every Degan fan say he would Dominate this SX season?
@LetBrockBye should have. No one expected vialle to be so ready and consistent at sx. Not a dig at deegan it's just props to vialle.. so rent free in ur head it's embarrassing 😂 he also came in injured and definitely wasn't riding like he did last year. Idk ab you. I'm more inclined not to hate on a literal kid because of other peoples expectations but you do you😂😂😂
Tom beats Hayden. Deegan will be tough no doubt but Rick James takes it I think.
Love ya DB I know you KTM but you will be sad at the end of out doors bc Deegs will not let that happen I don’t care if he has a rich daddy. Tom’s KTM next 450 guy but Deegs is all outdoors that is all he knows. Go back watch his last mini os on a 450 bc that is what’s coming.
Deegan is way better outdoors..and when it comes to the last 2 or 3 turns before any checker he'll certainly cut you off to take it..Tom won't or at least he hasn't..so we will see.. I believe it's gonna be shamoda, Deegan, kitchen..fighting for championship. . Possibly Tom also if Hampshire can keep.it on 2 wheels. He will be contending as well
deegan will lose just like in sx . Vialle and Shimoda will smoke him
@@Ranger_Dog311 Just say youre a hater, saying deegan will get smoked outdoors is crazy.
doucheboy grew up on a sx track and got smoked by the 2nd year guy
Deegan haters hate....
#38 for life! I LOVE that kid like a son......
@@JFB199 did i say i hate him ? lol all i said is he's gonna get beat and you fan girls go nuts 🤣😂😂😂
Well Savatgy is on very good bike. I saw a video from Britian where they had 3 riders all ride the new Triumph bike. they ran them up against the riders own bikes. A Honda and a KTM. All of the riders had faster lap times on the Triumph than their own bikes but a couple didn't think it felt as fast but stop watch proved otherwise. ruclips.net/video/hmiVgYRUI08/видео.html
Say what you will, just stay out of the DANGER ZONE !!!!
Kitchen only wins supercross with hole shotes.
And the outdoors Deegan caught and passed him twice one for 2nd at Washougal that turned into a win . Then passed him at the 1st playoff round in Carolina...
So he sucks at passing is the point and Deegan doesn't.
Vialle will be Deegans biggest comp but I still think Deegs kicks ass and wins and has it locked up before the last race....
Deegan is not good at passing. The only races he has ever won he started top 3. He's the most start dependent rider in the field.
Kitchen has had issues with confidence, not speed. He looks to have that figured out this year.
Also Shimoda is going to be a competitor this year. He finished ahead of danger kid last year and was second to Jett the year before.
@@seanhaberman4619 If it wasn't for Washougal, the bed bugs would have nothing to brag about
@@LetBrockBye yeah they're clinging to one performance like it's indicative of his entire career. I was at that race and it's a miracle he didn't crash out.
Haiden will be somewhere between 3rd and 6th in the point standings this year.
He passed him in the 1st playoff round as well at Carolina!)...
Will see soon enough!
Won 3 motos and 2 overalls, held the red plate and got unlucky with bike failing... as a Rookie....
Did you not hear what Blair Just said!?
I’m going with Joey🏁the AMA screwed him out of SX🤔
Joey sava? Who??? Please that tired out of shape guy won't be able to hold the 30 second card yet alone win a outdoor moto. Please.... he's super lucky to have a ride at this point of his crappy career
Deegan doesn’t have what it takes when the going gets tough. All he does is point fingers and play the blame game. Vialle is more consistent. He’s as fast as anyone and doesn’t have to ride over his head like others
Danger will crash hard at some point. At least 1 DNF for him.
Hampshire, Viale, Savatgy top three; don't know what order.
Reallylike Joe Shimoda but he is a slow starter to a season. The other issue with him is that he is too nice. He needs to be agressive in his passes. I agree with you there.
I have Kitchen, Vialle, and Shimoda as my top three for the title.
Whaaaaat? nah im pretty sure youre 38's biggest fan. Its ok we wont judge you
I have Vialle, Deegan & Shimoda as my top 3.
Shimoda always seems to come out slow.
@@bryandonahue4347 I think he has some momentum built up right now and will start the season better.
@@Kahutara Danger kid will be 5th.
Deegan boohoo! Having millions of followers is all Brian. It doesn’t mean championships!
Id be happy for anyone but Deegan to win it
me too!
He won't don't worry. Jo beat him last year on a worse bike. Plus Vialle is finally comfortable on the U.S bike. Plus kitchen has been riding lights out
@@seanhaberman4619pro circuit bike is leaps and bounds above hrc 250 not even close jo is on a much much worse bike
Why? Because he’s good and has a personality?
@@chummy22 how do you figure? Hunter beat everyone on the HRC bike last year. Was he just so much better that he won on a far worse bike.
You KTM BIAS...Weege Honda Bias..you both should get together and discuss your EJ techniques and best knee pads😂😂😂
Hes literally the Orange Brigade team manager of course they pay his salary. Weege show is sponsored. You got a problem with these guys having a regular job?
What’s an EJ?
@@allday6480 😂😂😂
@@superegghead13 Go sock an egg
Why does nobody seem to remember Shimoda kicked Deegans ass outdoors last year and was second to Jett the year before? He should definitely be a title favorite.
Shimoda didn’t kick Deegan’s ass last year. Did you even watch last season? The only reason Shimoda finished above Deegan in points is because his bike blew costing him a lot of points. It took Shimoda till the last round to even win an overall. Deegan had already had two overall wins by then and even held the red plate at one point. Deegan was clearly the better rider in MX last year, but just had some unfortunate luck with his motor blowing costing him towards the end.
@@thflash09msr Oh, the irony
@@thflash09msr Jo blew Haiden away at Ironman and secured his position in the points standings. Even without Deegan blowing up his bike (which was entirely his fault) Jo would have beat him in points.
Big call on the top two, I see Tom fall out of top 3 behind RJ, Haiden and maybe levi
1. Shimoda, 2. Vialle, 3. Deegan
Levi and RJ have never shown to be able to put 22 motos together, and let's be honest, Jo has more moto wins than Levi has moto podiums. It'd take a massive jump for me to consider either of them serious threats.
I think Deegan needs to have the points lead leaving TV, if he doesn't, I'm not confident he can survive tracks like Southwick and Spring Creek. These first 3 rounds and Washougal+Budds are tracks he needs to take full advantage of if he wants to win.
Jo needs better starts, pure and simple. His speed's good early in the season, but he puts himself in bad positions which causes a lot of his early season woes. I think he's the best guy when everything's working, he just needs to get everything working right from the first gate drop at Pala.
Vialle's pretty easy, no GP rider has won a MX title in their first 2 years in the class since 1991. He's shown he can put it together to win championships, the question is will he be fully ready this year or will he have to wait until next.
Totally wrong!!! 🎉😂
Use me as a pala fucking sucks button
Joey will NOT be a title threat. He is fast yes, anywhere outside the pro AMA and MXGP. Also do not really like the idea of older ex-pros coming in to clog the 250 class which i feel should be more for younger riders. Including people like RJ and all of the long time 250 guys, nothing against them personally i just think it would be better for the sports growth. No 18 year old wants to come in fresh and have to race some 30 year old dude gate keeping their podiums. Until they have an age limit or another class for youths only, say 20 and under, you should be forced into the 450s with the big boys
well then the 18 year olds dont have to come to the class if they dont like it
@@LetBrockBye ah yes, a truly regressive take. Just dont have new talent.
I never said anything about the riders liking it or not liking it. In *MY OPINON* (no riders have been surveyed or interviewed) we should have a full time class for young new riders only, before moving them up to race with seasoned riders. not unlike the already existing SX Futures class, but a full calendar, all year.
How is that an idea you would argue against? As if forging more talent in a better environment for growth and fair competition, more racing for us to watch overall would be an negative thing somehow?
@@stalliondave9338 I’m not even disagreeing with you. but you said “ no 18 year old wants to come”. No 18 year old deserves a podium, they have to work for it. More talent makes everyone better. You don’t think an 18 year old should be put with better riders but a 21 year old riders should be “ forced “ to ride 450. There’s no logic in that
@@LetBrockBye ahh ok bad wording then my bad i shouldnt have said that "No 18 year old" part.
Maybe i messed up the last section, i didnt mean over 20 and you move up to 450, i mean you have a 250 for 20 and under. Then a separate 250 for everyone above that age, so 21+ those guys can stay in for as long as they want.
Ideally in my fictional world the under 20 would have no full factory teams, factory support sure, but basically the bikes would be normal with pipes and suspension that anyone could get off the shelf.
