Slaw’s Rankings After Round 1

1: This is pretty obvious, right?

2: This is pretty obvious, right?

3: Tough loss for Hammaker, but as he said on IG, he was lucky to be racing after a big crash in qualifying: “Had a pretty bad crash in qualifying that I was thankful to be okay from other than some soreness.”

4: Sexton was back and looked like his old-self. A runner-up finish after time off is nothing to be ashamed of.

5: This guy has been through hell and back with injuries. Yet, he continues to get up time and time again. A fifth at the opener reminded me of how fing good Forkner is. It should remind you too.

6: Still got it!

7: NO ONE had Valentin being this good in his first year in the U.S. He wants to stay and race SX next year. Someone NEEDS to sign him. He’ll be a top 10 guy in 250SX in 2026. Stamp it.

8: Dean was not supposed to race. Well, he did on little to no prep and finished 16th. Dean gonna Dean.

9: Lux is one of the most underrated riders today. He has been really solid all year and that continued in the Playoffs.

10: Hunter may win this weekend. Slaw said it first.
