We are down eight rounds! The Monster Energy Supercross season continues in Indy on Saturday and in this edition of Most Likely, we examine some key talking points. Like, will Chase Sexton bounce back? Who is most likely to win the first East/West Showdown and much more.
Read on…
Who is most likely to win the East/West Showdown?
First, let me say this: East/West Showdowns are amazing and at the same time, I’m also glad we only get a few a year, because it is something to look forward to during the middle of the season.
I have to go with my title pick in the West Region this weekend: Haiden Deegan. He has been on rails the last few weeks and has taken control of the championship. He keeps that momentum going this weekend with another victory.
Which region (East/West) is most likely to have the most riders inside the top 10?
The East Region. With Jordon Smith out, Julien Beaumer nursing a shoulder injury and Jo Shimoda not 100%, the East will rein supreme in Indy.
Is AP most likely to keep his momentum going in Indy?
That was the AP we’ve been waiting for all year. The problem is: it was at Daytona, not your typical SX track. While I think AP will be good this weekend, I don’t have him for a podium. I’ll say top 7 for the Cowboy.
Who is most likely to win the 450 Class?
I’m fully onboard the Kenny train this weekend. He’s good at Indy, he has momentum on his side and as you’ll see below, I don’t think Chase fully bounces back.
Is Sexton most likely to bounce back this weekend?
Yes and no. Yes, he will get back on the podium. No, he will not win. Chase needs to get his confidence back and that begins in Indy. He needs a steady round to regroup and that is this weekend. Runner-up for Sexton behind Roczen.
