Slawdictions for Ironman: Not Your Average Jo

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. Have you seen the new gear? No, you just suck at life? Well, check it out.

Following a nearly 98 percent pick rate over Monster Energy AMA Supercross, I’m here to bring you the most flame, fire, fuego, feu, predictions for the ENTIRE Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.

Hot takes, bold predictions, you name it, Slaw’s got it.

I remembered to write about Budds Creek and of course I was like 99% right on everything. Let’s review and then get into Ironman.

Prediction | Tomac Bounces Back

Did people forget that Eli Tomac won eight straight motos? Feels that way. YES, Sexton was GREAT at Unadilla, but man, hard for me to be like IT’S OVER. TOMAC IS DONE. It’s not and he’s not. One point, three rounds and it’s gonna be epic. I got Tomac bouncing back to take a CLOSE overall win over Sexton this weekend.

Pretty sure he retook the points lead. Pretty sure that counts as a rebound.

Slawdiction: 10 out of 10.

Cooper Going to RedBud

Justin Cooper will get the MX2 spot on Team USA over Christian Craig. LEAD SLAW LOCK OF THE WEEK.

Listen to Slaw kids. You will get learned real quick.

Slawdiction: 10 out of 10.

The Kid From Spain

Not being mean, but I’d NEVER HEARD of Star Racing Yamaha’s new fill-in for this weekend: Guillem Farres. Now I know he is from Spain and pretty dang fast. What an opportunity for this kid, but man, it’s going to be tough. I’d predicting a top 15 overall though.

The kid even surprised me. Also he finished 9th overall which I’m pretty sure is inside the top 15.

Slawdiction: 10 out of 10.

Ferrandis Moto Podium

The defending champ was back in action last week and threw a damn fourth up on the board in the first moto. Given another week he gets at least a moto podium.

Yeah, about that…

Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.

Holy Cairoli

Hey, look who is back? The nine-time champ returns and I have no idea where he will finish. I’m just happy he is back.

HAHAH, of course I have to throw a prediction out: Top six overall!

Yeah, about that…

Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.

On to Ironman, the Crown Jewel of the series…

Jo, So Hot Right Now

LOOK AT THIS MAN’S RESULTS SINCE A 5TH IN MOTO 2 AT HIGH POINT: 1 3 2 3 3 2 3 3 1 3 3 1. Without a slow start to the season, Jo would be in the thick of this title chase. He claims ANOTHER moto win this weekend.

Deegan Top 10

I hate to admit this, but Troy Dog had a pretty good list of Most Hyped Pro Debuts of All-Time this week. Whether you want to include the Deegs, let’s be real: He’s hyped coming into this weekend. I think he deals with it well and scores a top 10.

Towers Debuts

Let’s not forget that Gavin Tower is also debuting this weekend. I think he sneaks into the top 15. LEAD SLAW LOCK OF THE WEEK.

Sexton vs Eli

INSANE to think this battle is just ONE POINT with four motos left. I got Tomac taking the overall this weekend. It will be tight though.

Penultimate Round Is Used 100 Times

IT IS the penultimate round after all.
