Each week, Slaw, Troy, and Denny Stephenson will come up with some topics and then list the riders most likely to accomplish those feats. Hence the title “Most Likely”. Most would call us brilliant.

Is it most likely to be the “Summer of Schock” part two?

Slaw: Ummmm….. If he was racing 450, I’d say yes. This 250 Class is DEEP bro. I just don’t see a summer of it. Maybe like a part-summer of Schock?

T-Dog: Yes, Coty Schock is on a roll and will surprise a ton of people this summer with some podium rides.

Is Jett Lawrence most likely to go 22-0?

Slaw: Yes and no. Read my bold predictions.

T-Dog: No, it will not happen again. To go back to back perfect seasons as a 20-year-old is crazy talk. He may do it next year or even the year after, but even RC couldn’t do it back-to-back. If it does I will jump in the dirty HEP Suzuki pool again.

Which rider is most likely to be the 250 Pro Motocross Champion?

Slaw: I’m on the Deegs wagon. It will be a tight battle between him and Vialle. You thought his American stuff was big last year with H Dog? Wait till this year.

T-Dog: Tom Vialle is my pick to win the championship. He has too much experience.

Which rider is most likely to be the 450 Pro Motocross Champion?

Slaw: Umm… Jett.

T-Dog: Cade Clason

Which rider is most likely to have a better season, Hunter Lawrence or Justin Cooper?

Slaw: Man, this is tough. I’ll go Hunter by a hair. 

T-Dog: I ask the tough questions here. I’m going to go with Justin Cooper due to his insane sprint speed, incredible starts, and ability to stay up front.

Are we most likely to see more than five moto winners in the 250 class this summer?

Slaw: We may see 10, Troy!

T-Dog: I think we will see at least five or six.

The 2024 rookie class is loaded, which rookie is most likely to have the best season?

Slaw: I’ve been on the Dax Wagon all year. That isn’t changing. 

T-Dog: Julien Beaumer was the Rookie of the Year in Monster Energy Supercross and I think he will carry that momentum into the Pro Motocross Championship.

Are Levi Kitchen and RJ Hampshire most likely to give Tom Vialle and Haiden Deegan a run for this championship?

Slaw: RJ is hurt, per PulpMX, so yeah. Please for the love of all things holy, just let Levi stay healthy for the sake of Mister Payton. 

T-Dog: Well, they were supposed to then RJ ended up getting injured yesterday. Levi will definitely be up there though.

What kind of summer is Nate Thrasher most likely to have?

Slaw: Roller coaster. 

T-Dog: A really great one, then a really low one, then a great one again, then a low one…

Is Dennis Rodman most likely to show up in the booth again?

Slaw: No D Rod, but I think we see AC in there at some point. 

T-Dog: Man, I hope so. Seeing Weege in the booth with Stew and Rodman was all time and I loved every second of it for him. Let’s go Bulls!
