2020 Racer X Pro Motocross Preview Show: Episode 2, 450 Class Contenders

In Episode 2 of the Racer X Pro Motocross Preview Show, hosts Jason Weigandt, Jason Thomas, and Steve Matthes discuss the contenders looking to make a dent or improve in the 2020 campaign. Fresh off a great close to their Monster Energy AMA Supercross seasons, Cooper Webb and Zach Osborne appear to be trending upward heading into Lucas Oil Pro Motocross. Matthes and JT think they can surpass Ken Roczen and Marvin Musquin to become Eli Tomac's toughest competitors for another 450MX Championship. But which one of those two will be the strongest? Matthes and JT disagree! (Shocker.)

A hungry batch of others like Blake Baggett, Justin Barcia, Jason Anderson, and Dean Wilson are also looking to make waves over the nine-round championship. The crew also talks about incoming rookies to the 450 class like Adam Cianciarulo, Chase Sexton, and Max Anstie, along with many more talking points.

Ciancurulo is going to surprise people

[Tj-nrjh]

Hope ac can keep on the bike because I want to see all the guys racing each other good!!!

[johnkristjanson]

Eli is so far ahead of everyone else even though the depth of the field is impressive. And now that he knows how to calibrate himself and fly when he needs to - everybody else is battling for second.

[chrisnielsen]

The real winners are us. Such a stacked field there is going to be some fantastic Eli just demolishes every moto

[didikajja]

*TOMAC IS THE KING OF MOTOCROSS & SUPERCROSS IN THE UNITED STATES*

[Naasko]

First time hearing Craig to Star Yamaha 2021.

[zealobiron]

That footage of Noren was gnarly. Excellent recovery after that cross rutting

[slayer]

Dino and Anderson can always bring the team points!

[gamergirlkayla]

Barring injuries... My Top 5 in points at the end of the season.
1. Eli Tomac
2. Zack Osbourne
3. Cooper Webb
4. Adam Cianciarulo
5. Ken Roczen

[ChrisGuthrie]

Zach is for sure my favorite for this year. Maybe won't win the most races, but when he's on it and flowing, that man can do anything

[GreyeTate]

Chase Sexton is training with JS7 now, he’ll shed some light on him!

[SOLDOZER]

How the hell does Bogle have a ride after doing nothing for years?

[pbau]

Get Herlings over here so we can see who the best really is in a series.

[weltwelt]

Look out for chase sexton... he isnt intimidated, has championships, is healthy, and doesnt ride over his head.

If he gets a clean air with great starts, he will put it to the field...

Tomac can and most likely will reel in anyone who races him over the xourse of 35 minutes, but dont underestimate a current champion moving up in a class. He has the confidence to win and i think he believes he can win out of the gate.

[jimbo]

I hope they're all in it, fighting for the lead !

[danieljohnston]

I'm still waiting to see if Webb will be able to run outdoors on the 450. I don't buy the SX hangover thing, just doesn't really hold water. This will be Webb's 4th season in the 450's and he has 1 podium, a win at last years Millville mudfest. Not saying he can't be a contender, but he really hasn't run inside the top 5 much at all outdoors. Will be a little easier this year as I think MM25 will be slow to get back to speed and Roczen is going to have a tough time. Zack will fill in that spot as well as Anderson. I think Webb will fight with those guys. But outdoors is a different beast. It's tough. Not just a mind game which he's good at, but it brutally tough.

[marcusbevz]

If tomac rides as smart as he rode in Supercross, everyones gonna have to pony up and improve their fitness because they can’t rely on tomacs mistakes the races are wayyy longer and two races per round.... I hope Roczen and muisquin step upon thier game

[AntiPattern]

Agreed with Benny Bloss comment. From what Benny has done this year, he was probably the best pick out there. He really showed a lot of improvement this season so far.

[dadlife]

Keep Kellen on the show the whole time.

[JoshSmith-vjyb]

My sleeper is Roczen since you guys didn't talk about him
