Following a nearly 48 percent pick rate over the first 12 rounds, I will NOT be bringing you any flame, fire, fuego, feu, Пожар predictions for Monster Energy AMA Supercross because there is no racing this weekend. No days off for Slaw though, as we’ll be reviewing my picks from Seattle.
NONE of this would be possible without the folks at FLY Racing, who have stepped in to support Slaw and #slawnation couldn’t be happier. Visit www.flyracing.com and support those who support Slaw.
Prediction | Craig Continues to Roll
The West Region has been off a long time, so you might have forgotten this series belongs to Christian Craig. He’s won four of six rounds and holds a healthy points lead. The break doesn’t matter to Craig as he continues to roll toward his first career title in Seattle.
I posted this on social prior to Seattle….
Well, as it turns out it did protect Craig from Vince, but NOT Michael Mosiman. Craig still got second so I’ll take that.
Slawdiction: 5 out of 10.
Prediction | Tomac Wins Again, Ties Reed
Crazy to think, but Eli Tomac has a legit shot at catching James Stewart for second all-time in Supercross wins. Tomac, currently sitting at 43, only trails Stew by seven. Let’s say he races for two more years, one would think he could catch the Stew. First up though is Chad Reed, who has 44 wins. Tomac wins in Seattle and ties Reed at 44 for fourth all-time.
Is this the best Eli Tomac we’ve ever seen? At 29? I mean, it could be argued. Eli is rolling right now and Seattle was a damn master class. He’s now tied with Reed and the way he’s been riding, maybe he catches RC before the end of the year?
Slawdiction: 10 out of 10.
Prediction | Moose Can Podiums Again
Marv is having a sneaky good season. He really is. I think Seattle will rut up like Indy and Marvin thrives in these type of conditions. He captures a second straight podium this weekend.
When you right, you right. Right?
Slawdiction: 10 out of 10.
Prediction | Friese Holeshots
Vince Friese is back in the 250 Class this weekend and you know what that means…. HOLESHOT CITY, BABY! HE’S A DIAPER DANDY WITH THE HOLESHOTS!
I wrote this before I posted the above photo of Craig. OF COURSE CRAIG WAS GOING TO GET THE HOLESHOT AFTER DOING MILITARY TRAINING BEFORE THE RACE. This should not count against me.
Slawdiction: Incomplete.
Prediction | Karnow Signs an Exclusive Only Fans Deal
Logan Karnow wrote on his IG story that he turned down a fill-in ride for this weekend, which can only mean one thing: He’s signed an exclusive deal with Only Fans!
Karnow out here changing the sponsorship game.
